hardware status The operating state of SNMP-based systems. A hardware status is determined by polling SNMP information from the system. Status is defined as: • Critical. can no longer communicate with the system. The system was previously discovered, but cannot be pinged. The system might be down, powered off, or no longer accessible on the network because of network problems. • Major. A problem exists. • Minor. The system is functioning but with errors. • Normal. The system is functioning correctly. • Unknown. cannot obtain management information about the system. • Disabled is disabled.

Manager database
(database)
The database that stores vital information about , including users, systems, and toolboxes.
identification
An aspect of the discovery process that identifies the management protocol and type of system.
in use
Address currently allocated by a server profile managed by VCEM.
Internet Protocol
(IP)
Specifies the format of datagrams (packets) and the addressing scheme on a network. Most
networks combine IP with Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual
connection between a destination and a source.
Major status
Aggregate status information collected from the system that indicates one or more of the monitored
subsystems are not operating properly which is impacting the system. Action should be taken
immediately.

Aggregate status information collected from the system that indicates one or more of the monitored
subsystems are not operating properly which is impacting the system. Action should be taken as
soon as possible to prevent further failure.
Onboard
Administrator
The Onboard Administrator is the central point for controlling an entire c-Class rack. It offers
configuration, power, and administrative control over the rack, and its associated blades (Compute
Servers), blade management processors (iLOs), network switches (depending on the models of
switches used) and storage components (such as SAN or SATA). The Onboard Administrator is
a single management processor, with shared resources to an optional backup twin processor for
failover.
profiles
Virtual Connect server profile is a logical grouping of attributes related to server connectivity that
can be assigned to a server blade.
racks
A set of components cabled together to communicate between themselves. A rack is a container
for an enclosure.
reclaim external
Returns the external address to VCEM allocation.
server blade
Typically a very dense server system containing microprocessors, memory, and network connections
that can be easily inserted into a rack-mountable enclosure to share power supplies, fans, switches,
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 uplink port
An Ethernet uplink port that carries the traffic for multiple Virtual Connect networks. Each associated
Virtual Connect network is mapped to a specific Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) on the
external connection, and appropriate VLAN tags are removed or added as Ethernet packets enter
or leave the VC Domain.
shared uplink port
set
A set of Ethernet uplinks that are used together to provide improved throughput and availability
to a group of associated Virtual Connect networks. Each associated Virtual Connect network is
mapped to a specific VLAN on the external connection and appropriate VLAN tags are removed
or added as Ethernet packets enter or leave the VC Domain.
