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
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.
O
Onboard
Administrator
The Onboard Administrator is the central point for controlling an entire c-Class enclosure. It offers
configuration, power, and administrative control over the rack, and its associated blades (Compute
Servers), blade management processors (iLOs), network switches (depending on the models of
switches used) and storage components (such as SAN or SATA). The Onboard Administrator is
a single management processor, with shared resources to an optional backup twin processor for
failover.
Open Service Event
Manager
Enables you to collect, filter, and send problem reports for supported systems (ProLiant and
Integrity) running Insight Management Agents. In addition, OSEM automatically sends service
event notifications to HP Systems Insight Manager when a problem is detected on the system.
OpenSSH A set of network connectivity tools providing encrypted communication sessions over a computer
network using SSH. It was created as an open source alternative to the proprietary SSH software
suite offered by SSH Communications Security.
operator rights
user
A user who has limited capability to configure the Central Management Server. operator rights
users have permission to create, modify, and delete all reports and their own tools.
overall software
status
This section indicates whether the software on the server that the Version Control Agent is installed
on has any updates available within the repository in which it has been configured to monitor.
