and other components with other server blades. Server blades tend to be more cost-efficient,
faster to deploy, and easier to adapt to growth and change than traditional rack-mounted or
tower servers.

Shared Resource
Domain A collection of compartments—all of the same type—that share system resources. The compartments
can be nPartitions, virtual partitions, processor sets (pSets), or Fair Share Scheduler (FSS) groups.
A server containing nPartitions can be an SRD—as long as nPartition requirements are met. A
server or an nPartition divided into virtual partitions can be an SRD for its virtual partition
compartments. Similarly, a server, an nPartition, or a virtual partition containing pSets can be an
SRD for its pset compartments. Lastly, 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.
Each compartment holds a workload. gWLM manages the workload by adjusting the
compartment's resource allocation.
Short Message
Service A convenient way to send brief text messages directly to a wireless phone. There is a maximum
message length of 140 characters.
Simple Network
Management
Protocol One management protocol supported by HP SIM. Traditional management protocol used
extensively by networking systems and most servers. Management Information Base for Network
Management of TCP/IP-based internets (MIB-II) is the standard information available consistently
across all vendors.
Simple Object
Access Protocol A lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment.
Single Sign-On Permission granted to an authenticated user browsing to HP SIM to browse to any of the managed
systems from within HP SIM without re-authenticating to the managed system. HP SIM is the initial
point of authentication, and browsing to another managed system must be from within HP SIM.
single-system
aware A run type that does not support multi-system operations. Tools with this run type are only aware
of the system on which they are running.
single-system
aware tool This type of tool is executed by way of SSH on the target system.
SMI CIMOM See common information model object manager.
SMI-S provider An industry-standard WBEM provider that implements a well defined interface for storage
management. The manufacturers of host bus adapters (HBAs), switches, tape libraries, and storage
arrays can integrate SMI-S providers with their systems, or provide them as separate software
packages.
See also Web-Based Enterprise Management.
SNMP trap Asynchronous event generated by an SNMP agent that the system uses to communicate a fault.
Software
Distributor The HP-UX administration tool set used to deliver and maintain HP-UX operating systems and
layered software applications.
software inventory A listing of the HP software installed on the system where the HP VCA is installed.
software update A task to remotely update software and firmware.
spoofing The act of a website posing as another site to gather confidential or sensitive information, alter
data transactions, or present false or misleading data.
SSH client Connects to SSH servers to perform remote task execution and file copy.
SSH server Listens for and services requests coming in on the proper TCP/IP port, usually port 22.
status type The classification of status messages (for example, Critical, Major, Minor, Normal, Warning,
and Unknown).
Storage
Management
Initiative
Specification A standard management interface developed by the Storage Networking Industry Association
(SNIA). SMI-S provides a common interface and facilitates the management of storage devices
from multiple vendors. SMI-S uses industry-standard
common information model and Web-Based
Enterprise Management technology.
