HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for Microsoft Windows
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.
See also certificate, certificate authority.
server blade Typically a very dense server system containing microprocessors, memory, and network connections
that can be easily inserted into a rack-mountable enclosure to share power supplies, fans, switches,
and other components with other server blades. Server blades tend to be more cost-efficient,
faster to deploy, and easier to adapt to growth and change than traditional rack-mounted or
tower servers.
See also enclosure.
server blade visual
locator
A feature designed to provide visual representation of ProLiant BL e-Class, p-Class and c-Class
servers within their respective enclosures and racks.
See also enclosure.
Service Advertising
Protocol
A NetWare protocol used to identify the services and addresses of servers attached to the network.
set disk thresholds A task provided by HP Systems Insight Manager to set a disk threshold for systems in an associated
collection. This threshold is set on all disk volumes on the target systems.
Shared Resource
Domain
A collection of compartments—all of the same type—that share system resources. The compartments
can be nPartitions, virtual partitions, processor sets (pSets), or Fair Share Scheduler (FSS) groups.
A server containing nPartitions can be an SRD—as long as nPartition requirements are met. A
server or an nPartition divided into virtual partitions can be an SRD for its virtual partition
compartments. Similarly, a server, an nPartition, or a virtual partition containing pSets can be an
SRD for its pset compartments. Lastly, a Server, an nPartition, or a virtual partition containing FSS
groups can be an SRD for its FSS group compartments.
A complex with nPartitions can hold multiple SRDs. For example, if the complex is divided into
nPartitions, named Par1 and Par2, Par1's compartments could be virtual partitions, while Par2's
compartments are pSets.
Each compartment holds a workload. gWLM manages the workload by adjusting the
compartment's resource allocation.
Short Message
Service
A convenient way to send brief text messages directly to a wireless phone. There is a maximum
message length of 140 characters.
Simple Network
Management
Protocol
One management protocol supported by HP Systems Insight Manager. Traditional management
protocol used extensively by networking systems and most servers. Management Information Base
for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets (MIB-II) is the standard information available
consistently across all vendors.
Simple Object
Access Protocol
A lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment.
