HP Systems Insight Manager 7.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

Reference Support
Pack
A baseline bundle of HP software components that the Version Control Agent can be configured
to point to in the repository. This setting enables users to indicate that they want to keep all of
their software up to a certain Support Pack level.
remote wakeup Sometimes referred to as Wake-On-LAN (WOL). The remote powering up of a system through
its resident WOL network card, provided that the system has been enabled to be so awakened
using the ROM or F10 Setup.
This is a capability on which HP Systems Insight Manager relies to turn on the systems for scheduled
Software Updates or Replicate Agent Settings.
remove all disk
thresholds
A task provided by HP Systems Insight Manager to remove disk thresholds for systems in an
associated collection. This task only removes disk thresholds that were set by HP Systems Insight
Manager or by browsing directly to the Web Agent. Any thresholds set by HP Systems Insight
Manager for Windows 32, including disk thresholds, are not removed by this task.
Replicate Agent
Settings
A tool that can be used to copy web-based agent settings to a group of systems.
repository A directory containing ProLiant Support Pack or Integrity Support Packs and Smart Components.
Resource Partition A subset of the resources owned by an operating system instance. The use of those resources is
controlled through technologies such as the Fair Share Scheduler, pSets, and Memory Resource
Groups.
A resource partition also has a set of processes associated with it, and only those processes can
use the resources within the resource partition. Policies established by tools such as Process
Resource Manager (PRM), Workload Manager (WLM), or Global Workload Manager (gWLM)
control how resources are allocated to the set of resource partitions within an operating system
instance.
resource pool A group of physical and virtual resources managed by HP Virtual Server Environment. An
administrator controls resource utilization by allowing users access to resource pools.
role See toolbox.
rule set Conditions, policies, or criteria applied to system information to determine what it is.
S
SAN A storage area network (SAN) is a network (or subnetwork) that connects data storage devices
with associated data servers. A storage area network is typically part of an overall network of
computing resources.
search criteria A set of variables (information) used to define a requested subset of information from the HP
Systems Insight Manager database.
Secure HTTP An extension to the HTTP protocol that supports sending data securely over the web.
Secure Shell A program to log in to another system over a network and execute commands on that system. It
also enables you to move files from one system to another, and it provides authentication and
secure communications over insecure channels.
Secure Sockets
Layer
A standard protocol layer that lies between HTTP and TCP and provides privacy and message
integrity between a client and server. A common usage of SSL is to provide authentication of the
server, so clients can be assured they are communicating with the server it claims to be. It is
application protocol independent.
secure task
execution
A feature of HP Systems Insight Manager that securely executes a task from a managed system.
STE ensures that the user requesting the task has the appropriate rights to perform the task, and
encrypts the request to protect data from snooping.
security roles A feature that enables administrators to restrict system access and manage access on a per-user
or per-group basis. This capability enables systems administrators to delegate tasks to junior staff
without providing access to advanced or dangerous features. It also enables systems administrators
to delegate management of systems to specific organizations or customers without providing
access to systems owned by other organizations or customers.
self-signed
certificate
A certificate that is its own Certificate Authority (CA), such that the subject and the CA are the
same.
