Manager database
(database) The database that stores vital information about HP Insight Control, including users, systems, and
toolboxes.
identification An aspect of the discovery process that identifies the management protocol and type of system.
in use Address currently allocated by a server profile managed by VCEM.
Internet Protocol
(IP) Specifies the format of datagrams (packets) and the addressing scheme on a network. Most
networks combine IP with Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual
connection between a destination and a source.
Major status Aggregate status information collected from the system that indicates one or more of the monitored
subsystems are not operating properly which is impacting the system. Action should be taken
immediately.
Minor status Aggregate status information collected from the system that indicates one or more of the monitored

soon as possible to prevent further failure.
Onboard
Administrator The Onboard Administrator is the central point for controlling an entire c-Class rack. It offers
configuration, power, and administrative control over the rack, and its associated blades (Compute
Servers), blade management processors (iLOs), network switches (depending on the models of
switches used) and storage components (such as SAN or SATA). The Onboard Administrator is
a single management processor, with shared resources to an optional backup twin processor for
failover.
profiles Virtual Connect server profile is a logical grouping of attributes related to server connectivity that
can be assigned to a server blade.
racks A set of components cabled together to communicate between themselves. A rack is a container
for an enclosure.
reclaim external Returns the external address to VCEM allocation.
server blade Typically a very dense server system containing microprocessors, memory, and network connections
that can be easily inserted into a rack-mountable enclosure to share power supplies, fans, switches,
and other components with other server blades. Server blades tend to be more cost-efficient,
