HP XC System 3.x Software - Manual (Page 110)

FCFS First-come, first-served. An LSF job-scheduling policy that specifies that jobs are dispatched
according to their order in a queue, which is determined by job priority, not by order of submission
to the queue.

G
global storage Storage within the HP XC system that is available to all of the nodes in the system. Also known
as local storage.
golden client The node from which a standard file system image is created. The golden image is distributed
by the image server. In a standard HP XC installation, the head node acts as the image server
and golden client.
golden image A collection of files, created from the golden client file system that are distributed to one or more
client systems. Specific files on the golden client may be excluded from the golden image if they
are not appropriate for replication.
golden master The collection of directories and files that represents all of the software and configuration data
of an HP XC system. The software for any and all nodes of an HP XC system can be produced
solely by the use of this collection of directories and files.
H
head node The single node that is the basis for software installation, system configuration, and administrative
functions in an HP XC system. There may be another node that can provide a failover function
for the head node, but HP XC system has only one head node at any one time.
host name The name given to a computer. Lowercase and uppercase letters (a–z and A–Z), numbers (0–9),
periods, and dashes are permitted in host names. Valid host names contain from 2 to 63
characters, with the first character being a letter.
I
I/O node A node that has more storage available than the majority of server nodes in an HP XC system.
This storage is frequently externally connected storage, for example, SAN attached storage.
When configured properly, an I/O server node makes the additional storage available as global
storage within the HP XC system.
iLO Integrated Lights Out. A self-contained hardware technology available on CP3000 cluster platform
hardware models that enables remote management of any node within a system.
image server A node specifically designated to hold images that will be distributed to one or more client
systems. In a standard HP XC installation, the head node acts as the image server and golden
client.
Integrated Lights
Out See iLO.
interconnect A hardware component that provides high-speed connectivity between the nodes in the HP XC
system. It is used for message passing and remote memory access capabilities for parallel
applications.
interconnect
network The private network within the HP XC system that is used primarily for user file access and for
communications within applications.
Internet address A unique 32-bit number that identifies a host's connection to an Internet network. An Internet
address is commonly represented as a network number and a host number and takes a form
similar to the following: 192.0.2.0.
IPMI Intelligent Platform Management Interface. A self-contained hardware technology available on
HP ProLiant DL145 servers that enables remote management of any node within a system.
