Management Processor (MP) MAP MAP Address Space Media Access Control (MAC) N Network Interface Card (NIC) Network mask Node O Onboard Administrator Options Out-of-band System Management P Port Port Number POST Properties Protocol The component that provides a LAN interface to the system console and system management. Prior to iLO 2, embedded remote server management was referred to as MP functionality. All legacy MP functionality has been carried forward and combined with new features, all under the heading of "iLO 2". Therefore, "iLO 2" and "MP" mean the same thing for entry class servers. Manageability Access Point. A network-accessible interface for managing a computer system. A MAP can be initiated by a management process, a management processor, a service processor, or a service process. This is the hierarchical graph of the UFiTs contained in the MAP's AdminDomain. Each instance starting at the AdminDomain is a node in the graph. Each supported association forms a link in the graph to another instance node, and so on, until a terminating instance node is encountered. Worldwide unique, 48-bit, hardware address number that is programmed in to each local area network interface card (NIC) at the time of manufacture. In the Ethernet standard, every network connection must support a unique MAC value. An internal circuit board or card that connects a workstation or server to a networked device. A number used by software to separate a local subnet address from the rest of an Internet Protocol (IP) address. An addressable point or device on a network. A node can connect a computing system, a terminal, or various peripheral devices to the network. The Onboard Administrator (OA) is the enclosure management processor, subsystem, and firmware base used to support HP Integrity server blades and all the managed devices contained within the enclosure. The OA provides a single point from which to perform basic management tasks on server blades or switches within the enclosure. Utilizing this hard-wired information, the OA performs initial configuration steps for the enclosure, allows for run-time management and configuration of enclosure components, and informs administrators about problems within the enclosure through email, SNMP, or the Insight Display. Used in the SMASH SM CLP. Options control verb behavior. Server management capability that is enabled when the operating system network drivers or the server are not functioning properly. The location (socket) where Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) connections are made. Web servers traditionally use port 80, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) uses port 21, and Telnet uses port 23. A port enables a client program to specify a particular server program in a computer on a network. When a server program is started initially, it binds to its designated port number. Any client that wants to use that server must send a request to bind to the designated port number. A number that specifies an individual Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) application on a host machine, providing a destination for transmitted data. Power-On Self-Test. The series of steps that the host system CPU performs following power-on. Steps include testing memory, initializing peripherals, and executing option ROMs. Following POST, the host ROM passes control to the installed operating system. Properties are attributes that are relevant to a target that are passed as parameters to the command. Property keywords map to properties of CIM class. A set of rules that describes how systems or devices on a network exchange information. 221
