Glossary
EFI
The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) defines the interfaces between the operating system and
the system Firmware and between the Firmware driver and the system Firmware. It is processor
architecture agnostic.
FPGA
Field-programmable gate array. An integrated component of a server that can be updated with
new firmware by users after manufacturing.
FTP
Acronym for File Transfer Protocol. It is a TCP/IP-based protocol used on the Internet to copy files
to and from FTP servers located elsewhere on a network.
HP SUM
HP Smart Update Manager
This tool is not a product. It is included in the Firmware bundle. It allows a method discover new
firmware bundle versions, lists installed firmware versions, provides an indication of what needs
to be updated, verifies dependencies, downloads the firmware bundle from the web if desired,
updates Firmware, and delays the reboot-when selected.
iLO
Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), lights-out remote management with Integrated Lights-Out (iLO). It is
an intelligent management processor available on newer Integrity servers.
ISO
ISO 9660, a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization, defines
a file system for CD-ROM media. It aims to support different computer operating systems such as
Microsoft Windows®, Mac OS, and systems that follow the UNIX specification, so that data may
be exchanged.
ISO 9660 file system images (ISO images) are a common way to electronically transfer the
contents of CD-ROMs. They often have the filename extension .iso and are commonly referred
to as "ISOs." An .iso file may be:
•
A single ISO 9660 file system image
•
A multi-track disc image with a table of contents
MP
A management processor provides "OS running" and "OS down" access, control, and monitoring
of a system. The management processor, in a cellular system, manages system attributes that
span hardware partitions. The management processor is frequently abbreviated as "MP". The
MP is also referred to as "GSP" (Guardian service processor) or the "service processor".
