This Glossary provides the list of all the glossary terms and their definitions.
Automatic Server
Recovery (ASR) A server feature designed to automatically restart the server after a critical hardware or software
error. If a critical error occurs, the server records the error in the Server Health Logs, reboots the
system.
Client A computer connected to a server on the network.
Community String The SNMP Community String is similar to a password, offering a limited amount of protection
for the SNMP data.
Corrected Memory
Log This log contains a list of corrected memory errors.
Desktop

HP Management
Agents for Servers Software that can query a manageable server and provide information that responds to SNMP
requests for data.
HP Utilities HP Utilities have the capability to set up or modify the system and include various diagnostic
programs.
In-band Refers to the capacity to deliver information through existing network hardware. Synonymous
with “on the network.”
Logical Drive Multiple physical drives connected in a HP Drive Array to the same controller and combined to
create logical drives. All available physical drive capacity is used by the logical drive as if it
were a larger drive subsystem. By combining several physical drives, special fault tolerance and
performance features can be used.
Managed Device A device managed by a management console. Devices include servers, clients, routers, switches,
and hubs. Servers and clients cannot be managed devices unless they have HP Management
Agents installed.

management application.
Monitored Item The item that HP Insight Manager manages or monitors, or the information that HP System Insight
Manager collects.

NetWare
Peripheral
Architecture
(NWPA) The goal of the NetWare Peripheral Architecture (NWPA) is to provide NetWare Version 4.x,
and IntranetWare customers with broader and more reliable driver support for host adapters and
storage devices.
Network Interface
Controller (NIC) An adapter card installed in a PC, workstation, or server that allows the PC or workstation to
communicate with other devices connected to the same network. This term usually implies a local
area network (LAN) adapter card.
Out of Band The capacity to deliver information by modem. Synonymous with “off the network.”
Physical Drive Multiple physical drives connected in a HP Array Controller to the same controller and combined

were a larger drive subsystem. By combining several physical drives, you can use special fault
tolerance and performance features.
Point-to-Point
