Generic term for server modules and storage modules. See server module and storage module.
Server module. See server module.
For servers, refers to the server enclosure. For server modules, refers to the modular system enclosure.
Chassis monitoring module (server modules only). The CMM is the service processor in the modular system that contains server modules. Oracle ILOM runs on the CMM, providing lights out management of the components in the modular system chassis. See modular system and Oracle ILOM.
Interchangeable terms for storage module. See storage module.
Fabric expansion module (server modules only). FEMs enable server modules to use the 10GbE connections provided by certain NEMs. See NEM.
The part of the server or server module with the CPU and other hardware that runs the Oracle Solaris OS and other applications. The term host is used to distinguish the primary computer from the SP. See SP.
Describes a component that can be replaced with power applied, but the component must be prepared for removal.
Describes a component that can be replaced with power applied, and no preparation is required.
Keyboard, video, mouse. Refers to using a switch to enable sharing of one keyboard, one display, and one mouse with more than one computer.
The rackmountable chassis that holds server modules, storage modules, NEMs, and PCI EMs (server modules only). The modular system provides Oracle ILOM through its CMM.
Network express module (server modules only). NEMs provide Ethernet and SAS connectivity to storage modules.
Network management port. An Ethernet port on the server SP, the server module SP, and the CMM.
OpenBoot PROM. Sometimes OBP is used in file names and messages to indicate a relationship to OpenBoot.
Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager. Oracle ILOM firmware is preinstalled on a variety of Oracle systems. Oracle ILOM enables you to remotely manage your Oracle servers regardless of the state of the host system.
Oracle ILOM that runs on the CMM (server modules only). See Oracle ILOM.
PCIe ExpressModule (server modules only). Modular components that are based on the PCI Express industry-standard form factor and offer I/O features such as Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel.
RAID expansion module (server modules only). Sometimes referred to as an HBA See HBA. Supports the creation of RAID volumes on drives.
Modular component that provides the main compute resources (CPU and memory) in a modular system. Server modules also might have on-board storage and connectors that hold FEMs.
Service processor. In the server or server module, the SP is a card with its own OS. The SP processes Oracle ILOM commands providing lights out management control of the host. See host.
