HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 155)

Table C-1 Units and Terminology (continued)
The amount of memory used in gigabytes (2^30 bytes).
Each sample represents an actual reading at the time the sample was taken. These
measurements are obtained and calculated in the following manner:
Table C-4 Data collection for memory utilization by platform
Collected From Calculation Platform
pstat() Memory used by the users HP-UX
/proc/stat Memory used by the users Linux
Memory used by the users + memory
used by the system + cache memory Microsoft Windows
HP Virtual Machine
Management Pack (VMM) Imported as is Proliant VM Host
and VMs
sys$getrmi system service
(RMI$_USERPAGES) and
Sys$getsyi
(syi$_PhysicalPages)
Total memory used by user and system
processes. OpenVMS
memory utilization
The ability of an application and operating system to split processing between processors or
cores, thereby enabling parallel computing. multithreading
Measured in Mb/s (10^6 bits, megabits per second).
Each sample represents an average reading over the past 5 minutes. These measurements are
obtained and calculated in the following manner:
Table C-5 Data collection for network I/O bandwidth utilization by platform
Collected from Calculation Platform
MIB system Total bytes transferred during the interval HP-UX
proc/net/dev Total bytes transferred during the interval Linux
PDH counters Total bytes transferred out during the
interval Microsoft Windows
HP Virtual Machine
Management Pack
(VMM) Imported as is Proliant VM Host and
VMs
sys$qio system
service (GETSTATS)
Total bytes transferred during the interval. OpenVMS
Counters are sampled at the start and end of each interval.

The system-name.OTHER workload is used to account for all processes on a system that do not
match any user-defined workloads. For more information, see “Workloads”in Virtualization
Manager Help. On some Capacity Advisor displays, data is not available for this .OTHER
workload. OTHER workload
Component that plugs into a processor socket. A processor can contain more than one core. processor
The packaging of one or more processors in a unit that connects to a single socket on the
system bus. processor module
The system board socket to which a processor is attached. processor socket
A compensating factor that Capacity Advisor uses to adjust needed resources when analyzing
a move from one platform to another. scaling multiplier
