LSF master host
The overall LSF coordinator for the system. The master load information manager (LIM) and
master batch daemon (
mbatchd
) run on the LSF master host. Each system has one master host
to do all job scheduling and dispatch. If the master host goes down, another LSF server in the
system becomes the master host.
LVS
Linux Virtual Server. Provides a centralized login capability for system users. LVS handles
incoming login requests and directs them to a node with a login role.
M
Management Processor
See MP
master host
See LSF master host
module
A package that provides for the dynamic modification of a user’s environment by means of
modulefiles.
See also modulefile
modulefile
Contains information that alters or sets shell environment variables, such as
PATH
and
MANPATH
. Modulefiles enable various functions to start and operate properly.
MP
Management Processor. Controls the system console, reset, and power management functions
on HP Integrity rx2600 servers.
MPI
Message Passing Interface. A library specification for message passing, proposed as a standard
by a broadly based committee of vendors, implementors, and users.
MySQL
A relational database system developed by MySQL AB that is used in XC systems to store
and track system configuration information.
N
NAT
Network Address Translation. A mechanism that provides a mapping (or transformation) of
addresses from one network to another. This allows external access of a machine on one LAN
that has the same IP address as a machine on another LAN, by mapping the LAN address of the
two machines to different external IP addresses.
Network Address Translation
See NAT
Network Information Services
See NIS
NIS
Network Information Services. A mechanism that allows centralization of common data that
is pertinent across multiple machines in a network. The data is collected in a domain, within
which it is accessible and relevant. The most common use of NIS is to maintain user account
information across a set of networked hosts.
