DSSI-only cluster A computer system consisting of several computers attached to a Digital Storage System
Interconnect (DSSI) through which it communicates with other computers in the cluster. These
computers share a single file system.
See also DSSI, CI-only cluster.
EFI Extensible Firmware Interface. The interface between HP Integrity server operating system and
system firmware enabling you to perform such tasks as configuring the firmware and controlling
the booting environment. EFI is the Intel specification of an interface between firmware and
hardware.
See also BMC, MP, POSSE.
encryption A process implemented for data confidentiality that converts sensitive or otherwise private
data to an unintelligible form called cipher-text. Decryption reverses the process, taking the
unintelligible cipher-text and converting the data back into its original form, called plaintext.
Encryption and decryption are also known as encipher and decipher. Encryption for OpenVMS
software is based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) alogrithm and is integrated
with the operating system. This allows OpenVMS users, system managers, security managers,
or programmers to secure their files, save sets, or application data with AES Encryption.

Global Workload
Manager
See gWLM.
gWLM HP Integrity Essentials Global Workload Manager. The VSE Management Software application
that provides centralized, intelligent, policy-based resource management across multiple HP
servers. The resource-sharing policies increase system utilization and facilitate controlled sharing
of system resources. gWLM's monitoring abilities provide both real-time and historical
monitoring of resource allocation.
See also HP SIM, VSE, WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management Services for OpenVMS).
HP SIM HP Systems Insight Manager. The unified infrastructure management strategy foundation
which provides the platform and framework on which the VSE Management Software products
are deployed. HP SIM (an HP implementation of WBEM) provides simplified, centralized
management of multiple servers and platforms through a web-based, unified interface.
See also gWLM, provisioning, VSE, WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management Services for
OpenVMS).

HRS Human Recognition Service Standard. HRS provides generic authentication service suitable
for use with any form of human authentication (biometrics) for operation with CDSA.
See also CDSA.
HSx device A self-contained, intelligent, mass storage subsystem (for example, an HSJ or HSG) that lets
computers in a cluster environment share disks.
