Glossary

agent

information or do processing tasks.

aggregate data
views

Screens in Application Discovery that display a collection of data about various objects, often
including system, application, and event data for all known instances of each in one table, but
with emphasis on one aspect of the data.

application

A logically related set of processes active on a host system (a running application ) and/or a
logically related set of files on a host system disk (an installed application).

Application Discovery

recognizes applications based on standard package installation,

templates

that are shipped with the product, and templates that are defined by users.

Application
Discovery

Application Discovery. The HP Matrix Operating Environment application that inventories running
and installed applications in a network and provides application and process map data used for
creating

workloads

in

HP Matrix OE visualization

.

See also application discovery.

application
discovery

The process of finding applications and gathering performance and location data about them
for display and use.
See also Application Discovery.

Capacity Advisor

Capacity Advisor. The HP Matrix Operating Environment application that performs analysis and
planning of

workloads

on a

system

or across a set of systems.

central
management
server

See CMS.

CMS

Central management server. A system in the management domain that executes the Systems
Insight Manager software. All central operations within Systems Insight Manager are initiated
from this system.

discovery

In system management applications, the process of finding and identifying network objects. In
HP Systems Insight Manager, discovery finds and identifies all the HP systems within a specified
network. In Application Discovery , discovery finds and identifies all running and installed
applications within a specified network.

discovery ratio

As used by Application Discovery , this is a comparison of matched to

unmatched processes

running on a host. The ratio is the percentage of processes that can be matched to applications.

Global Workload
Manager

See gWLM.

gWLM

Global Workload Manager. The HP Matrix Operating Environment application that allows you
to centrally define resource-sharing

policies

that you can use across multiple HP servers. These

policies increase system utilization and facilitate controlled sharing of system resources. gWLM's
monitoring abilities provide both real-time and historical monitoring of the resource allocation.

host

for one or more

virtual

machines

.

HP Matrix OE
visualization

HP Matrix OE visualization. Provides hierarchical visualization of

servers

and

workloads

, with

seamless access to the management tools of the HP Matrix Operating Environment technologies.

Integrity VM

Integrity Virtual Machines. A soft partitioning virtualization product that allows you to install and
run multiple systems (

virtual machines

) on the same physical host system (Integrity server or

nPartition). The Integrity server or nPartition acts as a

VM Host

for the

virtual machines

(also

referred to as guests). The virtual machines share a single set of physical hardware resources,
