Installation and Upgrade Guide

TiCAP Temporary Instant Capacity. Supported on cell-based Integrity servers, an HP product option
included with Instant Capacity (iCAP) that enables you to purchase prepaid processor activation
rights for a specified (temporary) period of time. Temporary capacity is available in licenses of
30 core-days (or 720 core-hours), which can be spread across all Instant Capacity cores as
required. The minimum activation time for any core is 30 minutes. TiCAP was formerly referred
to as TiCOD.
See also iCAP, PPU.
UETP User Environment Test Package. A software package that tests all the standard peripheral
devices on your system, various commands and operating system functions, the system's
multiple-user capability, DECnet software, and the cluster environment.

VC Virtual Connect. A set of interconnect modules and embedded software for HP BladeSystem
c-Class enclosures; it simplifies the setup and administration of server connections. Where most
server interconnect choices come with compromises such as too many cables or too much to
manage, VC reduces the number of network cables and simplifies management while adding
the unique ability to wire everything once, then add, replace or recover servers in minutes
instead of hours or days. HP Virtual Connect includes the HP 1/10Gb Virtual Connect Ethernet
Module and HP 4 Gb Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladesSystem, and
the HP Virtual Connect Manager.
Virtual Connect See VC.
virtual media See vMedia.
virtual partition A soft partition within a cell-based server that can provide software isolation among different
instances of the operating system running on a single server or nPartition. Cell-based servers
can be configured either as a single large symmetric multiprocessor or as several independent
systems. A virtual partition uses a subset of the system processor, memory, and I/O resources,
and includes operating system and application-related software. The HP-UX operating system
is the only operating system that can run in a virtual partition.
See also cell, partition, nPartition, server complex.

See VSE.
vMedia Virtual Media. A virtual-disk capability included with iLO MP 2 on Integrity servers. vMedia
provides virtual devices that mimic physical hardware devices. For example, it can provide a
virtual CD/DVD drive that connects over the network to your Integrity server as if it were
physically connected. You can use vMedia to install OpenVMS on Integrity servers that do not
include a built-in DVD drive. vMedia can provide the network service for HP SIM provisioning,
or it can be used independently of HP SIM.
See also HP SIM, provisioning.
volume
shadowing
The software that performs disk mirroring operations using a redundant array of independent
disks (RAID) 1 storage strategy. Provides high data availability for disk devices by ensuring
against data loss that results from media deterioration or controller or device failure. This
prevents storage subsystem component failures from interrupting system or application tasks.
Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS is available as both a separately licensed product on Integrity
server systems and a component of the Enterprise Operating Environment (EOE) on Integrity
servers.
VSE HP Virtual Server Environment. An integrated virtualization offering for HP-UX servers
(including Integrity servers). VSE provides a flexible computing environment that maximizes
utilization of server resources. VSE consists of a pool of dynamically sizable virtual servers,
each of which can grow and shrink based on service-level objectives and business priorities.

warranted
support
In OpenVMS Clusters, warranted support means that HP has fully qualified the specified
versions of OpenVMS coexisting in the cluster and addresses all problems identified by
customers using the cluster configuration.
