HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 166)

is not supported with Insight Dynamics 6.0. This means that when you want to take advantage
of automatic power calibration, you need to be aware of the following:
•
Automatic power calibration is supported for Integrity Linux systems when the Utilization
Provider is configured on the Linux managed node. However, to obtain the UP, you will
need to install it as part of the Integrity Linux distribution or from a separate web download.
Also, because the Utilization Provider does not support Integrity SUSE 11, these Integrity
Linux systems must be manually calibrated.
No power metrics appear for simulated VMware DRS cluster This situation occurs when VM
hosts that have not yet been calibrated for power are added to a VMware DRS cluster in a scenario.
Suggested action:
1.
Open the scenario change record (What-If Action
→Undo/Edit/View Applied What-If
Actions ) and delete from the cluster all VM hosts that were not previously calibrated. (See
“Undo/edit/review applied what-if actions in a scenario” (page 88) .)
2. From the scenario editor Systems tab, select the VM hosts that you want to calibrate, and
then select Edit
→Calibrate Power (All Selected Systems). Calibrate the systems. (See
“Calibrating multiple systems at once” (page 105) .)
3. Add the calibrated VM hosts to the cluster by selecting What-If Action
→Convert/Add to
VMware DRS Cluster . (See “Assigning VM hosts to a VMware DRS cluster in a scenario”
(page 93) . )
Workload and system relationships may not match when comparing
Capacity Advisor and Virtualization Manager information
A configuration change is not immediately visible in all Insight Dynamics products This information
is updated every 5 minutes, but there still can be a period of time when the information that you
can see in the Insight Dynamics Visualization tab may differ from that presented in Capacity
Advisor. Suggested action: Click to the Workload tab in the Virtualization Manager and then
click the "Refresh Data" link on the far right corner of the screen above the table that lists
workloads discovered by HP SIM.
HP SIM identification of a VM host and its virtual machines inconsistent
If you open the Capacity
Advisor "Edit Scenario" screen and see this message:
Error generating screen.
Attempting to create second instance of
(Scenario_systemLayout_nameHeader_system_name_popupContent*)
this means that the HP SIM identification of a VM host is inconsistent with the identification of
the virtual machines associated with it. Suggested action: Re-identify the VM host and its virtual
machines to correct this issue. See the HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 online help to learn how
to identify or discover systems from the top menu bar or from the command line. You need to
be a privileged administrator user or root to do this action.
You may then want to click the "Refresh Data" link on the Virtualization Manager Workload tab
to ensure the information is also up-to-date for Capacity Advisor. If this problem persists, you
may need to run vseassist on the VM host to determine why HP SIM is not correctly identifying
the VM host and its constituents.
Data for node appears to differ from one profile viewer to another
Though a profile viewer
looks the same and behaves similarly from whichever location it is accessed, the data displayed
for a node may indeed differ – it may be actual historic data or an aggregation of data, depending
on the location from which the viewer is accessed or the type of system being viewed. For a
discussion of data handling in a profile viewer, see
“Using the Profile Viewer” (page 65) .
Miscellaneous user interface issues
Menu fly-out forces scrolling in Microsoft Internet Explorer browser This occurs with some IE
browser security settings. When you mouse over the menu picks, the menu looks compressed,
showing one entry and a scrolling mechanism for the other menu choices. HP SIM checks for
this setting on entry and shows this message to help you correct the situation:
