Onboard Administrator - HP Integrity BL870c Operation Manual

Management The component that provides a LAN interface to the system console and system management.
Processor (MP) Prior to iLO 2, 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 2". Therefore, "iLO 2" 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 This is the hierarchical graph of the UFiTs contained in the MAP's AdminDomain. Each instance
Space 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 Worldwide unique, 48-bit, hardware address number that is programmed in to each local area
Control (MAC) network interface card (NIC) at the time of manufacture. In the Ethernet standard, every network
connection must support a unique MAC value.
N
Network An internal circuit board or card that connects a workstation or server to a networked device.
Interface Card
(NIC)
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 The Onboard Administrator (OA) is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and
Administrator 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, SNMP, or the Insight Display.
Options Used in the SMASH SM CLP. Options control verb behavior.
Out-of-band Server management capability that is enabled when the operating system network drivers or
System the server are not functioning properly.
Management
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,
and Telnet uses port 23. A port enables a client program to specify a particular server program
in a computer on a network. When a server program is started initially, it binds to its designated
port number. Any client that wants to use that server must send a request to bind to the
designated port number.
Port Number A number that specifies an individual Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
application on a host machine, providing a destination for transmitted data.
POST Power-On Self-Test. The series of steps that the host system CPU performs following power-on.
Steps include testing memory, initializing peripherals, and executing option ROMs. Following
POST, the host ROM passes control to the installed operating system.
Properties Properties are attributes that are relevant to a target that are passed as parameters to the
command. Property keywords map to properties of CIM class.
Protocol A set of rules that describes how systems or devices on a network exchange information.
