management
domain

A

and its

managed systems

.

max 15-min

Maximum 15-minute sustained: data given in the Utilization Metric Summary screen of the

HP

Insight Capacity Advisor software Profile Viewer

, the highest value in the selected time interval

that was sustained for at least 15 minutes.

metric

A specific measurement that defines a performance characteristic.

metric view
selection

In

HP Insight Capacity Advisor software

, a combination of the statistical model (such as peak or

average) used to calculate the metric and whether it is to be presented as a percentage or an
absolute value.

missing data

Data that was not collected by

HP Insight Capacity Advisor software

, perhaps because a monitored

system was down during data collection. Such data is not used in analysis, though the collection
gap may be shown in the

Profile Viewer

.

See also invalid data, valid data.

monitored
workload

A

workload

that can be monitored by

HP Insight Virtualization Manager software

on HP-UX and

OpenVMS managed nodes, but which has no

policy

associated with it. Monitored workloads

are not managed by

HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM)

.

multithreading

The ability of an application and operating system to allow parallel computing by dividing
processing between multiple

processors

or

cores

.

node

See system.

nPartition

A

partition

in a cell-based server that consists of one or more cells , and one or more I/O chassis.

Each nPartition operates independently of other nPartitions and either runs a single instance
of an operating system or is further divided into

virtual partitions

.

See also virtual partition.

OS

Operating system.

package

A package groups application services (individual HP-UX processes) together.
See also Serviceguard package.

parked workload

A

workload

that is not currently associated with a

system

. A workload becomes parked if its

system is set to “none” when it is created or later modified. A parked workload that was
previously associated with a system may have historical data associated with it from

HP Insight

Capacity Advisor software

or

HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM)

.

As with any workload, the historical data will be lost if the workload is deleted.

When migrating a workload from one system to another, it may be useful to park the workload
(removing the association with the original system) until the new system becomes available.
This preserves the historical data for the workload across the migration.

partition

1.

A subset of

server

hardware that includes

core

, memory, and I/O resources on which an

operating system (OS) can be run. This type of partitioning allows a single server to run
an OS independently in each partition with isolation from other partitions.

See also nPartition, virtual partition.

peak

The highest utilization value in the selected time interval.

policy

A collection of rules and settings that control

workload

resources managed by

HP Insight Global

Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM)

. For example, a policy can indicate the minimum

and maximum amount of CPU resources allowed for a workload, and a target to be achieved.

A single policy can be associated with multiple workloads.

PRM

Process Resource Manager. An HP product used to dynamically divide resource utilization
among different applications and users PRM controls the amount of resources that processes
use during peak system load.

Process Resource
Manager

See PRM.

processor

The hardware component that plugs into a processor socket. Processors can contain more than
one

core

.

See also core.
