HSx device | A self-contained, intelligent, mass storage subsystem that
lets computers in an OpenVMS Cluster system environment share disks. The disk on which you install or upgrade
the operating system can be connected to one of these systems (for
example, an HSV or HSG). |
InfoServer | A general-purpose
disk storage server. For OpenVMS Alpha systems, the InfoServer may
be an independent hardware device or, beginning with OpenVMS Version
8.3, it may be a utility (software application) on an OpenVMS system.
On OpenVMS I64 systems, the InfoServer is only available as a software
application on an OpenVMS system. The InfoServer hardware
can serve CDs only (it does not support DVDs); thus, this hardware
device cannot serve the OpenVMS I64 operating environment (OE) DVD. The InfoServer utility can serve both DVDs and
CDs (for OpenVMS I64 and OpenVMS Alpha systems, respectively). The
systems connected to the same LAN can use the InfoServer utility to boot the OpenVMS operating system from a virtual drive
(instead of the local drive). For more information about the InfoServer
utility, see the HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 New Features and Documentation Overview. |
local drive | A drive
on your computer system, such as a CD, DVD, or disk drive (hard drive),
that is connected directly to the computer. If you have a standalone
computer, it is likely that all drives connected to the computer system
are local drives. |
operating system media | The
OpenVMS Alpha operating system CD or the OpenVMS
for Integrity servers Operating Environment DVD (OE DVD) included with an OpenVMS distribution kit, which contains the
OpenVMS operating system and the installation and other procedures
described in this manual. |
provisioning | Using
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), the process
of installing or upgrading OpenVMS on one or more Integrity servers
automatically. HP SIM initiates the process and the installation or
upgrade automatically continues in the background. |
| source drive | The drive that
holds the operating system media during an upgrade or installation.
This can be a local drive or an InfoServer virtual drive. The drive
contains the OpenVMS Alpha operating system CD or the OpenVMS for
Integrity servers Operating Environment DVD, or a copy of it. |
| system disk | The disk from
which OpenVMS is typically booted. During an installation or upgrade,
this is the target disk because it receives files from the source
drive. After installation or upgrade, the target drive is booted
and becomes the system disk. |
target drive | The
drive that holds the target system disk during the upgrade or installation.
Note: the target drive must be a hard drive, not a CD or DVD. |
virtual media (vMedia) | A virtual-disk
capability included with Integrated Lights Out (iLO) 2 Management Processor (MP) on Integrity
servers. vMedia provides virtual devices that mimic physical hardware
devices. For example, it can provide a virtual CD/DVD drive that emulates
the DVD drive on a PC and connects over the network to your Integrity
server as if it were physically connected. You can use vMedia to install
OpenVMS on Integrity servers that do not include a built-in DVD drive
or that are physically located elsewhere. vMedia can provide the network
service for HP SIM provisioning, or it can be used independently of
HP SIM. |
