Glossary

C

CLI

Command-line interface.

compute nodes

Nodes used in the modular system for computation not for management. See also management nodes.

D

DIMM

Dual inline memory module.

F

Fabric 4

Fabric 4 is a pass-through network that bypasses the switching network inside the modular system.

FBA

Frame backplane adapter. Connected directly to the node and mates with the FBS.

FBN

See FBS PCB.

FBS

Frame backplane segment. Attaches to the modular system frame and provides the connector to the node FBAs.

FBS PCB

FBS printed circuit board (previously FBN). See also FBS.

FMM

Frame monitoring module. Provides the backplane features for nodes, networking, and storage devices in the system. The FMM manages the frame backplane nodes and provides a management switch for the management components installed in the system.

I

ILOM

See Oracle ILOM.

IPMI

Intelligent Platform Management Interface.

K

KVM

Kernel-based Virtual Machine.

M

management nodes

The two management nodes that run the system management software and OS. These two nodes are located in slots 3 and 4 of Frame 0.

N

NET MGT

Network management port. An Ethernet port on the server SP, the server module SP, and the CMM.

O

Oracle ILOM

Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager. Preinstalled firmware that enables you to remotely manage the Oracle servers regardless of the state of the host system.

OSP

Outside Plant Wiring.

P

PCIe

Peripheral Component Interconnect Express.

PDU

Power distribution unit.

Q

QSFP

Quad small form-factor pluggable.

R

RDIMM

Registered DIMM modules have a register between the DRAM modules and the system's memory controller.

RFID

Radio Frequency Identification.

role

A management slot or a compute slot. A role is detected by the node's serial port.

S

SP

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.

SSD

System storage drives (internal USB storage).
