HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

L
LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. A directory service protocol used for the storage, retrieval,
and distribution of information, including user profiles, distribution lists, and configuration data.
LDAP runs over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) across multiple platforms.
M
managed object The actual item in the system environment that is accessed by the provider. For example, a Network
Interface Card (NIC).
Management
Information Base
(MIB)
The MIB defines the properties of the managed object within the device to be managed. Every
managed device keeps a database of values for each definition written in the MIB. MIB is not
the actual database itself and is implementation dependant.
Management
Processor (MP)
The component that provides a LAN interface to the system console and system management.
Prior to iLO 3, embedded remote server management was referred to as MP functionality. All
legacy MP functionality has been carried forward and combined with new features, all under
the heading of "iLO 3". Therefore, "iLO 3" and "MP" mean the same thing for entry class servers.
MAP Manageability Access Point. A network-accessible interface for managing a computer system. A
MAP can be initiated by a management process, a management processor, a service processor,
or a service process.
MAP address
space
This is the hierarchical graph of the UFiTs contained in the MAP’s AdminDomain. Each instance
starting at the AdminDomain is a node in the graph. Each supported association forms a link in
the graph to another instance node, and so on, until a terminating instance node is encountered.
Media Access
Control (MAC)
Worldwide unique, 48-bit, hardware address number that is programmed in to each local area
network interface card (NIC) at the time of manufacture. In the Ethernet standard, every network
connection must support a unique MAC value.
MFW Manageability FirmWare.
Monarch The monarch server blade is always in the lowest numbered enclosure bay, and all communication
to the conjoined server blade is done through the monarch server blade.
MP Upgradeability Firmware remotely upgradeable through MP LAN, offline update through EFI, and OS-initiated
firmware updates for all Integrity support OS.
N
Network Interface
Card (NIC)
An internal circuit board or card that connects a workstation or server to a networked device.
network mask A number used by software to separate a local subnet address from the rest of an Internet Protocol
(IP) address.
node An addressable point or device on a network. A node can connect a computing system, a terminal,
or various peripheral devices to the network.
O
Onboard
Administrator
The BladeSystem Onboard Administrator (OA) is the enclosure MP, subsystem, and firmware
base used to support HP Integrity server blades and all the managed devices contained within
the enclosure. The OA provides a single point from which to perform basic management tasks
on server blades or switches within the enclosure. Utilizing this hard-wired information, the OA
performs initial configuration steps for the enclosure, allows for run-time management and
configuration of enclosure components, and informs administrators about problems within the
enclosure through email or the Insight Display.
out-of-band system
management
Server management capability that is enabled when the operating system network drivers or the
server are not functioning properly.
P
port The location (socket) where Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) connections
are made. Web servers traditionally use port 80, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) uses port 21,
