    • See refers you from a non-preferred term to the preferred term or from an abbreviation to the spelled- out form. • See also refers you to a related or contrasting term. For other terms and definitions, see the IBM Terminology website (opens in new window): http://www.ibm.com/software/globalization/terminology building block A pair of servers with shared disk enclosures attached.
  • Page 104 A data structure containing key information about a file system. This information includes the disks assigned to the file system (stripe group), the current state of the file system, and pointers to key files such as quota files and log files. 84  IBM Storage Scale System Utility Node: Hardware Planning and Installation Guide...
  • Page 105 Hardware Management Console (HMC) Standard interface for configuring and operating partitioned (LPAR) and SMP systems. See Hardware Management Console (HMC). IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager (ISKLM) For GPFS encryption, the ISKLM is used as an RKM server to store MEKs. independent fileset A fileset that has its own inode space.
  • Page 106 From a system management perspective, it is the central coordinator of the cluster. It also serves as a client node in an ESS building block. master encryption key (MEK) A key that is used to encrypt other keys. See also encryption key. 86  IBM Storage Scale System Utility Node: Hardware Planning and Installation Guide...
  • Page 107 maximum transmission unit (MTU) The largest packet or frame, specified in octets (eight-bit bytes), that can be sent in a packet- or frame-based network, such as the Internet. The TCP uses the MTU to determine the maximum size of each packet in any transmission. See master encryption key (MEK).
  • Page 108 A network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged Ethernet local-area network. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. 88  IBM Storage Scale System Utility Node: Hardware Planning and Installation Guide...
  • Page 109 See secure shell (SSH). See Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) A computer architecture that provides fast performance by making multiple processors available to complete individual processes simultaneously. See Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) A core protocol of the Internet Protocol Suite that provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of a stream of octets between applications running on hosts communicating over an IP network.
