global storage
Storage within the XC system that is available to all of the nodes in the system. Also known
as local storage.

by the image server. In a standard XC installation, the head node acts as the image server
and golden client.
golden image

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

of an XC system. The software for any and all nodes of an 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 XC system. There may be another node that can provide a failover
function for the head node, but there is only one head node for the XC system 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.
