HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration Version A.03.50

extensible
firmware
interface
See EFI.
failover The operation that takes place when a primary service (network, storage, or CPU) fails, and
the application continues operation on a secondary unit. In the case of Serviceguard virtual
machines, the virtual machine can fail over to another cluster member. In case of a network
failure, on a properly configured system the virtual machine can fail over to another LAN on
the same cluster node.
guest The virtual machine running the guest OS and guest applications.
guest
administrator
The administrator of a virtual machine. A guest administrator can operate the virtual machine
using the hpvmconsole command with action that can affect the specific guest only.
guest application A software application that runs on a guest.
guest application
package
A guest application that has been configured as a Serviceguard package.
guest console
The virtual machine console that is started by the hpvmconsole command.
guest
management
software
Software that is provided with Integrity VM that you install on the guest to ensure the guest
is manageable by Integrity VM and other components of the Virtual Server Environment and
HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager.
guest operator The administrator of the guest OS. This level of privilege gives complete control of the virtual
machine but does not allow control of the other guests, the VM Host, or the backing stores.
guest OS Guest operating system.
guest package A Serviceguard package that is an Integrity VM guest.
host A system or partition that is running an instance of an operating system.1.
2. The physical machine that is the VM Host for one or more virtual machines.
host
administrator
The system administrator. This level of privilege provides control of the VM Host system and
its resources, as well as creating and managing guests.
host name The name of a system or partition that is running an OS instance.
host OS The operating system that is running on the host machine.
Ignite-UX The HP-UX Ignite server product. Used as a core build image to create or reload HP-UX servers.
Integrity Virtual
Machines
The HP Integrity Virtual Machines product, which allows you to install and run multiple
systems (virtual machines) on the same physical host system.
Integrity VM See Integrity Virtual Machines..
ISSE HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition. A secure remote support platform for business servers
and storage devices.
localnet The local network created by Integrity VM for internal local communications. Guests can
communicate on the localnet, but the VM Host cannot.
migration The operation of stopping a Serviceguard package on one cluster member and then starting it
on another cluster member. Migrating the package (for example, a virtual machine), can be
useful in system management procedures and workload balancing.
See also virtual machine migration..
multiserver
environment
A Serviceguard cluster consisting of VM Host systems.
NIC Network Interface Card. Also called “network adapter.”
NSPOF No single point of failure. A configuration imperative that implies the use of redundancy and
high availability to ensure that the failure of a single component does not impact the operations
of the machine.
package
configuration
script
A script that is customized for each virtual machine Serviceguard package and that contains
specific variables and parameters, including logical volume definitions, for that virtual machine.
package control
script
A script containing parameters that controll how Serviceguard operates.
