Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide
Resource
A software or hardware entity upon which a
client/server application or service is dependent. As it
pertains to Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS), a cluster
resource must have the ability to be managed by the
cluster and must reside on one of the cluster nodes. A
resource can be a member of only one group.
Scalability
The ability of a system (server, storage, network, or
cluster) to grow or expand in performance or capacity.
SCSI
Small Computer Systems Interface. A standard
parallel interface for rapid data transmission.
ServerNet
A bi-directional, high-bandwidth, low-latency,
redundant path, network interconnect.
Service
A data set or operation set exported by application
servers to their clients.
Shared resource
A type of cluster organization in which some
resources are accessible to all systems in the cluster.
Static IP address
assignment
A unique, nonchanging number assigned to computer
entities that allows them to reliably communicate with
each other.
System
A complete computer system capable of operating
independently. A system can be either a single
processor system or an SMP system. Example: a
server.
UPS
Uninterruptible Power Supply.
Virtual server
A cluster group that has an IP address (and optional
network name) as one of its resources. Network
clients can connect directly to a virtual server, which
appears to clients as an individual server.
