experiences a catastrophic failure, such as
an operating-system failure.
alert-forwarding profile
A profile that specifies where remote
alerts for the service processor should be
sent.
alert standard format (ASF)
A specification created by the Distributed
Management Task Force (DMTF) that
defines remote-control and alerting
interfaces that can best serve a client
system in an environment that does not
have an operating system.
anonymous command execution
Execution of commands on a target
system as either system account (for
managed systems running Windows) or
root (for managed systems running
Linux). To restrict anonymous command
execution, disable this feature and always
require a user ID and password.
ASF See alert standard format.
ASM interconnect gateway
See gateway service processor.
association
(1) A way of displaying the members of a
group in a logical ordering. For example,
the Object Type association displays the
managed objects in a group in folders
based on their type. (2) A way to display
additional information about the members
of the group. For example, the Event
Action Plans association displays any
event action plans applied to the
managed objects in the group in an Event
Action Plan folder.
B
basic input/output system (BIOS)
The code that controls basic hardware
operations, such as interactions with
diskette drives, hard disk drives, and the
keyboard.
BIOS See Basic Input/Output System.
blade server
An IBM BladeCenter server. A
high-throughput, two-way, Intel
Xeon-based server on a card that supports
symmetric multiprocessors {SMP}.
BladeCenter chassis
A BladeCenter unit that acts as an
enclosure. This 7-U modular chassis can
contain up to 14 blade servers. It enables
the individual blade servers to share
resources, such as the management,
switch, power, and blower modules.
bottleneck
A place in the system where contention
for a resource is affecting performance.
C
chassis
The metal frame in which various
electronic components are mounted.
chassis detect-and-deploy profile
A profile that IBM Director automatically
applies to all new BladeCenter chassis
when they are discovered. The profile
settings include management module
name, network protocols, and static IP
addresses. If Remote Deployment
Manager (RDM) is installed on the
management server, the chassis
detect-and-deploy profile also can include
deployment policies.
CIM See Common Information Model.
cloning
In z/VM
®
, a copying technique that
preserves the characteristics of the
original but personalizes instance-specific
data. The result of a cloning operation is
new instance of an entity (for example, of
a virtual disk, a virtual computer system,
or an operating system) rather than a
backup of the original.
Common Information Model (CIM)
An implementation-neutral,
object-oriented schema for describing
network management information. The
Distributed Management Task Force
(DMTF) develops and maintains CIM
specifications.
component association
In the IBM Director Rack Manager task, a
function that can make a managed system
or device rack-mountable when the
inventory collection feature of IBM
Director does not recognize the managed
system or device. The function associates
the system or device with a predefined
component.
