allocation of resources to the partition can be set using HP Insight Global Workload Manager
software for Integrity (gWLM).
server blades Thin, modular, self-contained computer servers, containing one or more microprocessors and
memory. Server blades are designed for high density and eliminate many components such as
power cords and network cables that are present in traditional rack-mount systems. HP

multi-function network interconnects and Integrated Lights Out.
Service Processor An independent support processor for HP servers that support nPartitions. The Service Processor
provides a menu of service-level commands, plus commands to reset and reboot nPartitions
and configure various parameters.
The Service Processor in HP servers is sometimes called the Management Processor (MP) or
the Guardian Service Processor (GSP).
Serviceguard An HP Serviceguard cluster is a networked grouping of HP 9000 or HP Integrity servers (host
cluster systems known as nodes) having sufficient redundancy of software and hardware that a single
point of failure will not significantly disrupt service.
Serviceguard Packages are the means by which HP Serviceguard starts and halts configured applications. A
package package is a collection of services, disk volumes and IP addresses that are managed by
Serviceguard to ensure they are available.
Serviceguard A monitored workload
workload cluster. The workload (and the utilization data reported) follows the package it is associated
with as it moves between the nodes of the cluster.
SMI-S Storage Management Initiative Specification. SMI-S delivers open storage network management
interface technology in order to have "all storage managed by the SMI interface" as the unifying
factor between all objects that must be managed in a storage area network and the tools used
to manage them.
socket (CPU socket). The physical chip carrier on the circuit board that houses a CPU chip. The CPU
may consist of multiple cores.
SRD Shared resource domain. A collection of
HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM). The compartments can
be nPartitions,
(FSS)
A server containing nPartitions can be an SRD as long as nPartition requirements are met. These
requirements are detailed in the gWLM Getting the Most out of gWLM topic.
A server or an nPartition divided into virtual partitions can be an SRD for its virtual partition
compartments. A
nPartition, or a virtual partition containing PSETs can be an SRD for its PSET compartments.
Finally, a server, an nPartition, or a virtual partition containing FSS groups can be an SRD for
its FSS-group compartments.
A complex with nPartitions can hold multiple SRDs. For example, if the complex is divided
into nPartitions named Par1 and Par2, Par1's compartments could be virtual partitions, while
Par2's compartments are PSETs.

Entities on the network that communicate through TCP/IP or IPX. To manage a system,
some type of management protocol (for example, SNMP, DMI or WBEM) must be present
on the system. Examples of systems include servers, workstations, desktops, portables,
routers, switches, hubs and gateways.
