System |
 |
In this document, we use the term system to
mean one HP-UX system, a single “box”. A system so
defined always has its own CPU (for example, we do not refer to
XTerminals as systems) but may or may not have its own root file
system.
See “Types of System” for
more information.
Workgroup |
|
A workgroup is a group of systems that
depend on a common server, or servers, or on each other, for important
services such as NFS-mounted file systems, and whose users, in most
cases, are working on joint projects, or are in the same team or
department.
A workgroup could also consist of a single, multiuser system
to which users log in from terminals or terminal-emulators, though
such systems are not the primary focus of this document.
In this first version of the document, workgroup means
a grouping of predominantly HP-UX systems, but you’ll find
some information on integrating Windows NT systems into such a workgroup.
See “Types of Workgroup” for
more information.
