The VSE Management Software encompasses a number of complementary components that enhance the functionality and flexibility of your Virtual Server Environment, including:

  • HP Integrity Essentials Virtualization Manager.  Visualization software that allows you to see the systems in your VSE at various levels of detail. Virtualization Manager gives you the ability to inventory the VSE, and provides a central point from which to configure your server resources for optimum utilization. For each managed system, Virtualization Manager displays the system type and provides links to view and configure the system using the appropriate application.

  • HP Application Discovery. Application Discovery works from within HP Systems Insight Manager to give you the ability to inventory running and installed applications across your system network and to centrally monitor application activity. Within VSE Management Software, Application Discovery integrates with Virtualization Manager to give you the power to group running processes into applications that can be added to a workload for more comprehensive resource management.

  • HP Integrity Essentials Global Workload Manager (gWLM).  A multi-system, multi-OS workload manager that serves as an intelligent policy engine in the VSE. It simplifies the deployment of automated workload management policies across multiple HP-UX 11i servers, and provides centralized monitoring and reporting and improved server utilization to assist in meeting your service-level objectives.

  • HP Integrity Essentials Capacity Advisor.  Capacity analysis and planning software that allows you to optimize the workloads across your VSE for the highest utilization of server resources. Capacity Advisor provides scenario analysis to help optimize your current server resources and plan for future workload expansion.

  • HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager.  The graphical user interface for HP Integrity Virtual Machines. With VM Manager, you can visualize resources assigned to virtual machines. By providing a graphical view of virtual-to-physical network and storage, VM Manager lets you view all virtual machines in a VM Host, including resource utilization information.

  • WBEM providers and other VSE agents.  Software that is installed on managed systems. One of these agents is the Utilization Provider that provides the real-time utilization metrics displayed by Virtualization Manager.

The VSE Management Software is integrated with HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), the central point of administration for complete resource-lifecycle management for multi-OS environments, and with Partition Manager for administration and configuration of nPartitions and complexes.

HP Serviceguard version 1.16 or later is supported by Virtualization Manager. Monitored workloads can be associated with a Serviceguard cluster and package. If HP Serviceguard Manager is installed on the CMS, systems that are contained in Serviceguard clusters can be viewed through Serviceguard Manager with a click from Virtualization Manager.
