HP Systems Insight Manager 6.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

managed systems Any system managed by HP Systems Insight Manager, such as servers, desktops, storage systems,
and Remote Insight Boards (RIBs).
management
agent
A daemon or process running on a managed system. It receives and executes requests from the
Central Management Server on the managed system.
management
domain
A collection of resources called managed systems that have been placed under the control of HP
Systems Insight Manager. Each Central Management Server is responsible for a management
domain. The managed systems can belong to more than one management domain.
Management HTTP
Server
An integrated piece of software used by the HP suite of HP Web-enabled System Management
Software to communicate over HTTP and HTTPS. It provides a uniform set of functionality and
security to HP Web-enabled System Management Software. This version is available in the ProLiant
Support Pack 7.10 or earlier.
Management
Information Base
(MIB)
The data specification for passing information using the SNMP protocol. An HP MIB is also a
database of managed objects accessed by network management protocols.
management
instrumentation
Agents running on systems that provide management information for HTTP, or SNMP protocols.
management LAN A LAN dedicated to the communications necessary for managing systems. It is typically a moderate
bandwidth (10/100 BaseT) and secured through limited access.
management
protocol
A set of protocols, such as WBEM, HTTP, or SNMP, used to establish communication with
discovered systems.
management
scope
A set of systems within the set of all discovered systems that HP Systems Insight Manager manages.
management
services
A core set of capabilities such as automatic discovery, data collection, a central repository for
system and event information, event management, basic notification, and secure access. These
functions are used by add-ins from HP, a Management Solutions Partner, and HP Systems Insight
Manager users.
management tasks Procedures you set up to search systems or events.
manual discovery
techniques
Processes that enable you to bypass a full discovery for the following tasks:
• Adding a single system
• Editing the system
• Creating or importing an HP Systems Insight Manager database hosts file
• Creating or importing generic hosts files
Microsoft
Clustering Service
status page
A page that summarizes cluster status as defined by Microsoft Cluster Server and lists the status
and values of MSCS-defined cluster attributes. The Cluster Monitor uses color to display status
based on MSCS condition values (Normal, Degraded, Failed, and Other).
Minor status Status information collected from the system that indicates one or more of the monitored subsystems
are not operating properly which is impacting the system. Action should be taken as soon as
possible to prevent further failure.
Monitor Tools
toolbox
A default toolbox that contains tools that display the state of managed systems but not tools that
change the state of managed systems.
multiple-system
aware (MSA)
A run type that supports multi-system operations. Tools with this run type operate on the target
systems using their own internal mechanisms instead of using the Distributed Task Facility. The
MSA run type uses the Distributed Task Facility to launch the tool on a single system before the
tool interacting with the other managed systems.
N
network clients Any computer system connected to your network with a compatible browser used to connect to
the HP Systems Insight Manager GUI.
