| application discovery | | The
process of finding applications and gathering performance data about them
for display and use in a managed environment.
|
|---|
| applications | | A logically related
set of processes active on a system (a running application) and/or a logically
related set of files on a machine disk (an installed application).
|
|---|
| cluster | | Two or more systems
configured together to host workloads, in a way that users are unaware that
more than one system is hosting the workload.
|
|---|
| CMS | | Central Management Server. The system in a management domain
that executes the HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) software.
All central operations within HP SIM are initiated from this system.
|
|---|
| compartment | | An nPartition, virtual partition, virtual
machine, or resource partition whose resources can be managed by gWLM. Multiple
compartments are grouped to form a shared resource domain (SRD).
The compartments all share the resources of the SRD. A compartment can be
in only one SRD. Each compartment holds a workload. A gWLM policy can be applied
to a workload in order to manage its resources by adjusting the resource allocation
of its compartment.
|
|---|
| complex | | One or more hardware cabinets that are cabled together and that
contain cells (circuit boards containing processors and memory), each of which
can be assigned for exclusive use by an nPartition.
|
|---|
| demand profile | | A set of resource-demand readings made at regular
intervals for some period of time. The demand profile of a workload, system,
or complex is used for capacity planning.
|
|---|
| managed system | | A
server or other system that can be managed by HP SIM from a CMS.
|
|---|
| management domain | | A CMS and its managed systems.
|
|---|
| nPartition | | A
hardware partition in a complex. Each nPartition operates independently of
other nPartitions and either runs a single instance of an operating system
or is further divided into virtual partitions. An nPartition can be used as
a compartment managed by gWLM.
|
|---|
| policy | | A collection of rules
and settings that control workload resources. For example, a policy can indicate
the minimum and maximum amount of processor resources allowed for a workload
and a target to be achieved. A single policy can be associated with multiple
workloads.
|
|---|
| resource partition | | A subset of the resources available to an operating system instance,
isolated for use by specific processes. A resource partition has its own process
scheduler. CPU resources in the partition may be allocated using Fair-Share
Scheduler (FSS) groups or processor sets (psets).
Policies for controlling the allocation of resources to the partition may
be set using Global Workload Manager (gWLM).
|
|---|
| secure resource partition | | A resource partition that is integrated with HP-UX Security Containment.
|
|---|
| SRD | | Shared resource domain. A collection of compartments
that share system resources. The compartments can be nPartitions, virtual
partitions, virtual machines, psets, or FSS groups.
|
|---|
| template | | An HP-supplied or
user-defined set of attributes that specify the collection and matching rules
for discovering an application on a system.
|
|---|
| virtual machine | | A
software entity provided by HP Integrity Virtual Machines. This technology
allows a single server or nPartition to act as a VM Host for multiple virtual
machines, each running its own instance of an operating system (referred to
as a guest OS). Virtual machines are servers in the VSE.
|
|---|
| virtual partition | | A software partition of a server,
or of a single nPartition, provided by HP vPars. Each virtual partition can
run its own instance of an operating system. A virtual partition cannot span
an nPartition boundary.
|
|---|
| workload | | A collection of processes
in a standalone server, nPartition compartment, virtual partition compartment,
or virtual machine compartment. Global Workload Manager (gWLM)
extends this concept to include pset compartments and FSS group compartments.
Virtualization Manager enables you to monitor the resource utilization of
workloads. Capacity Advisor collects the historical resource utilization for
workloads for use in capacity planning activities. Global Workload Manager
(gWLM) enables you to monitor and manage workloads by automatically
adjusting the resource allocations of their compartments based on policies. Workloads that are managed by gWLM are called “managed
workloads”. Workloads that are monitored by Virtualization Manager
but are not managed by gWLM are called “monitored workloads”.
