memory), and the server connections to storage fabric and networks. This feature allows
you to populate an enclosure, load balance servers, and evacuate servers for routine
maintenance or in case of disaster; it allows you to provision resources only when
needed and increase utilization of limited compute resources.
Managed system A server or other system that can be managed by Systems Insight Manager 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.
Pagination In the Workload View, when the number of workloads displayed exceeds the per-page
limit, pagination allows you to navigate to the next page to continue viewing workloads.
Perspective The Perspective drop-down menu on the Virtualization Manager allows you to select
different ways of visualizing your enterprise. The default view is the Physical and Virtual
view, which shows all physical and virtual servers and the greatest number of nodes.
You can select alternate views for logical servers, server blades, Virtual Machines,
Serviceguard clusters, or show systems and events
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.
Shared Resource
Domain (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. SRDs are managed from the SRD tab in the Virtualization Manager.
Technology Icons Graphical icons displayed in Virtualization View compartment or subcompartment,
allowing you to launch applications, view profiles, or go to management screens for
a given technology. Icons represent the following technologies: Application Discovery,
HP Instant Capacity groups (GiCAP), gWLM Shared Resource Domains (SRD), HP
BladeSystem Integrated Manager, HP Insight Orchestration. HP Insight Power Manage
(IPM), Insight Recovery, HP Instant Capacity (iCAP), HP Onboard Administrator (OA),
HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) 2, HP iLO Remote Console, Systems Insight Manager
System page, Logical Servers, Partition Manager, Process Resource manager (PRM),
Serviceguard (SG) Manager, Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM), Virtual
Machine, Virtual Machine host, Virtual Machine Manager –VM Guest Remote Console,
Virtual Partition (vPar), and Workload.
User Preferences Application-specific user preferences that you can modify to tailor Virtualization Manager
to meet your needs. For example, you can set the display to always show the maximum
number of compartments with full details. Also, you can define the default collection
to display certain systems by default on the Visualization tab each time you access the
Virtualization Manager.
Utilization metrics Virtualization Manager displays real-time utilization metrics from the managed systems.
In a compartment, meters depict utilization metrics for CPU, memory, disk, and LAN
obtained from the Virtual Machine Management (VMM) for ESX and Microsoft virtual
machines hosts and guests, or from the Utilization Provider for all other types, You can
see additional information by clicking on the Meter callout to the right of the meters.
Virtual Connect
(VC) HP Virtual Connect; a set of interconnect modules and embedded software for HP
BladeSystem c-Class enclosures that simplifies the setup and administration of server
connections, thereby enabling administrators to add, replace, and recover server
resources dynamically.
Virtual Connect
domain A logical grouping of servers, visible by expanding a VC domain compartment from
the Virtualization Manager's Visualization View, Blades perspective. Currently, only
HP BladeSystem c-Class servers appear in a VC domain. VC domains can be collected
in a group, and similarly expanded from the Virtualization Manager.
