virtual partition
console
The user-mode application that provides console emulation for virtual partitions. Each instance
of the virtual partition console is one console session for its associated virtual partition.
virtual switch See vswitch.
VLAN Virtual LAN. Defines logical connectivity instead of the physical connectivity defined by a LAN.
A VLAN provides a way to partition a LAN logically such that the broadcast domain for a VLAN
is limited to the nodes and switches that are members of the VLAN.
VM See virtual partition.
VM Provider The WBEM services provider for Integrity VM host and guest configuration data. The VM Provider
allows Integrity Virtual Server Manager to have visibility to VSP and guest resources. For Virtual
Server Manager VSP views, the provider gives information about the VSP and its guests. For
Virtual Server Manager virtual partition views, the provider gives information about a particular
virtual partition and the identity of its host.
VSP A server running software such as HP Integrity Virtual Partitions, VMware ESX, VMware ESXi, or
Microsoft Hyper-V, that provides multiple virtual partitions, each running its own instance of an
operating system.
vswitch Virtual switch. Refers to both a dynamically loadable kernel module (DLKM) and a user-mode
component implementing a virtual network switch. The virtualized network interface cards (NICs)
for guest machines are attached to the virtual switches. By associating the vswitch with a physical
working LAN on the VSP, you provide the guest with the capability of communicating outside the
localnet.
WBEM Web-Based Enterprise Management. A set of web-based information services standards developed
by the Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. A WBEM provider offers access to a resource.
WBEM clients send requests to providers to get information about, and access to, the registered
resources.
