redirected video.

he CE graphical display

that is displayed in a window on the IOPs

redirection.

Identifies when a system uses a

device that is not physically located in that system.

For example, access to the Ethernet and SCSI

devices is redirected from the CE to the IOP using

Endurance software

redirector.

CE-based software driver that

requests a specific service from a provider.

redundancy.

Provides duplicate hardware

components so that if one component fails, the

remaining component continues to provide

service. Redundant components offer higher levels

of system availability than can be provided by a

single component.

SCSI settings.

A SCSI device location defined

by the adapter number, bus number, SCSI ID, and

LUN (logical unit number).

shutdown.

A system process that refers to

shutting down either one of (or a combination of)

the IOPs

’

and CE

’

s copies of the Windows NT

operating system.

synchronize.

A process that results in both CEs

being tightly coupled, performing identical

compute processing. When a CE is powered up

and another CE is active, the synchronization

process is started for the CE that just completed

power up.

transient.

A temporary condition describing a

server fault that can be detected, isolated, and

repaired without physically replacing any

hardware components.

tuple.

A conceptual term that describes half of

the redundant devices in a server. There are two

tuples in the server. Each tuple contains a CE, an

IOP, and a network connection.

uninterruptable power supply.

See

UPS

UPS.

Uninterruptable Power Supply. A battery-

based device that provides a limited supply of

electrical power in the event of a power failure.

Video Provider.

Video Provider on the IOP.

Receives the I/O of the CE and makes it available

for display on the IOP.

Video Redirector.

Video Redirector on the CE.

Loads the video software on the CE and supports

video I/O on the CE, redirected for display on the

IOP.

virtual network.

LAN-style connectivity

between the CE and each IOP. This connectivity is

independent of any public (redirected) or private

(IOP) network adapters.

vulnerable.

The state of a server when one or

more components has failed but the system is still

operational and available to end users. The system

is vulnerable to complete failure if certain

additional components fail.
