HP Integrity iLO 2 Operations Guide

Domain A grouping of hosts that is identified by a name. The hosts usually belong to the same Internet
Protocol (IP) network address.
Domain Name The unique name assigned to a system or group of systems on the Internet. The host names of all
the systems in the group have the same domain name suffix. Domain names are interpreted from
right to left.
E
Ethernet An industry-standard type of local area network (LAN) that enables real-time communication
between systems connected directly through cables. Ethernet uses a Carrier Sense Multiple
Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) algorithm as its access method, which all nodes listen
for, and any node can begin transmitting data. If multiple nodes attempt to transmit at the same
time (a collision), the transmitting nodes wait for a random time before attempting to transmit
again.
Event A change in the state of a managed object. The event-handling subsystem can provide a
notification, to which a software system must respond when it occurs, but which the software did
not solicit or control.
Extended Schema A platform-specific schema derived from the common model. An example is the Win32 schema.
F
Firmware Software that is typically used to help with the initial booting stage of a system and with system
management. Firmware is embedded in read-only memory (ROM) or programmable ROM (PROM).
FPGA Field Programmable Gate Array. A semiconductor device containing programmable logic
components and programmable interconnects.
FTP File Transfer Protocol. A basic Internet protocol based on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) that enables the retrieving and storing of files between systems on the Internet
without regard for the operating systems or architectures of the systems involved in the file transfer.
G
Gateway A computer or program that interconnects two networks and passes data packets between the
networks. A gateway has more than one network interface.
Gateway Address Where the packet needs to be sent. This can be the local network card or a gateway (router) on
the local subnet.
GUI Graphical User Interface. An interface that uses graphics, along with a keyboard and mouse, to
provide easy-to-use access to an application.
H
Host A system, such as a backend server, with an assigned Internet Protocol (IP) address and host
name. The host is accessed by other remote systems on the network.
Host Console The interface between iLO 2 and the server that controls basic functionality. Also known as
console.
Host ID Part of the 32-bit Internet Protocol (IP) address used to identify a host on a network. Host ID is
also known as DNS Name or Host Name.
Host Name The name of a particular machine within a domain. Host names always map to a specific Internet
Protocol (IP) address.
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol that retrieves hypertext objects from remote
hosts. HTTP messages consist of requests from client to server, and responses from server to client.
HTTP is based on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
I
In-band System
Management
A server management capability that is enabled only when the operating system is initialized
and the server is functioning properly.
