server complex
In z/VM Center, a configuration profile
for Linux guest systems that includes
both Linux and z/VM aspects. A server
complex can define network settings,
Linux configuration scripts, disk access,
and VM Resource Manager (VMRM)
performance goals.
Service Location Protocol (SLP)
In the Internet suite of protocols, a
protocol that identifies and uses network
hosts without having to designate a
specific network host name.
service machine
In z/VM, a guest virtual machine that
provides a system service such as
accounting, error recording, or
monitoring. A system service can be part
of z/VM or a licensed program.
service processor
A generic term for Remote Supervisor
Adapters, Advanced System Management
processors, Advanced System
Management PCI adapters, and integrated
system management processors (ISMPs).
These hardware-based management
processors used in IBM Netfinity and
System x servers work with IBM Director
to provide hardware status and alert
notification.
SLP See Service Location Protocol.
SMBIOS
See systems management BIOS.
SMP Expansion Module
An IBM System x hardware option. It is a
single module that contains
microprocessors, disk cache, random
access memory, and three SMP Expansion
Port connections. Two SMP Expansion
Modules can fit in a chassis.
SNMP Access and Trap Forwarding
An IBM Director Agent feature that
enables SNMP to access managed-system
data. When installed on a managed
system, this feature enables SNMP-based
managers to poll the managed system and
receive its alerts. If System Health
Monitoring is installed on the managed
system also, hardware alerts can be
forwarded as SNMP traps.
SNMP device
A network device, printer, or computer
that has an SNMP device installed or
embedded.
SQL See Structured Query Language
SSL See Secure Sockets Layer.
static partition
A view-only scalable partition.

sequentially (for example, Ctrl+Alt+Del),
yet have the keys behave as if they were

switch module
The BladeCenter component that provides
network connectivity for the BladeCenter
chassis and blade servers. It also provides
interconnectivity between the
management module and blade servers.
system
The computer and its associated devices
and programs.
System Health Monitoring
An IBM Director Agent feature that
provides active monitoring of critical
system functions, including system
temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds. It
also handles in-band alert notification for
managed systems running Windows and
some managed systems running Linux.
system variable
A user-defined keyword and value pair
that can be used to test and track the
status of network resources. System
variables can be referred to wherever
event-data substitution is allowed.
systems management BIOS (SMBIOS)
A key requirement of the Wired for
Management (WfM) 2.0 specification.
SMBIOS extends the system BIOS to
