Terminology/Acronyms
Terms and acronyms found in this document include:
Access Client - HTML-based client intended for use by normal access
users who need to access a node managed by CC-SG. The Access
Client does not allow the use of administration functions.
Admin Client - Java-based client for CC-SG useable by both normal
access users and administrators. It is the only client that permits
administration.
Associations - relationships between categories, elements of a category,
and ports or devices or both. For example, if you want to associate the
“Location” category with a device, create associations before adding
devices and ports in CC-SG.
Category - a variable that contains a set of values or elements. An
example of a Category is Location, which may have elements such as
“New York City,” “Philadelphia,” or “Data Center 1.” When you add
devices and ports to CC-SG, you will associate this information with
them. It is easier if you set up associations correctly first, before adding
devic
es and ports to them. Another example of a Category is “OS Type,”
which may have elements such as “Windows” or “Unix” or “Linux.”
CIM (Computer Interface Module) - hardware used to connect a target
server and a Raritan device. Each target requires a CIM, except for the
Dominion KX101, which is attached directly to one target and therefore
does not require a CIM. Target servers should be powered on and
connected to CIMs, and CIMs should be connected to the Raritan device
BEFORE adding the device and configuring ports in CC-SG. Otherwise,
a blank CIM name will overwrite the CC-SG port name. Servers must be
rebooted after connecting to a CIM.
Device Group - defined group of devices that are accessible to a user.
Device groups are used when creating a policy to control access to the
devices in the group.
Devices - Raritan products such as Dominion KX, Dominion KX II,
Dominion SX, Dominion KSX, IP-Reach, Paragon II System Controller,
and Paragon II UMT832 with USTIP that are managed by CC-SG. These
devices control the target servers and systems, or "nodes" that are
connected to them. Check the CC-SG Compatibility Matrix on the Raritan
Support web site for a list of supported devices.
Elements -
values of a category. For example, the “New York City”
element belongs
to the “Location” category, and the “Windows” element
belongs to the “OS Type” category.
