. An
can be moved from one location to another and its
characteristics can be modified. This feature allows you to populate an enclosure, load balance
servers, and evacuate servers in case of disaster; it allows you to
resources only when
needed and increase utilization of limited compute resources.

managed system
A server or other
that can be managed by HP SIM from a
. A managed system can
be managed by more than one CMS.
managed
workload
A
that is managed by HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity
(gWLM).
management
domain
A
and its
monitored
workload
A
that can be monitored by HP Insight Virtualization Manager software but has no
associated with it. Monitored workloads are not managed by HP Insight Global Workload
Manager software for Integrity (gWLM).
MSA
HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array. MSA is a direct attach, external shared storage solution
that helps customers easily transition from direct attached to centralized storage. It allows
departmental and small- to medium- business customers to grow capacity as demands increase.
nPartition
A
in a
that consists of one or more
and one or more I/O components.
Each nPartition operates independently of other nPartitions and either runs a single instance
of an operating system or is further divided into
.
nPartitions can be used as
managed by HP Insight Global Workload Manager
software for Integrity (gWLM) as long as several requirements are met. Refer to the gWLM
online help for a description of nPartition requirements.
parked workload
A
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
A subset of server hardware that includes
, 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.

2.
A
, made up of either a
Fair-Share Scheduler (FSS) group
or a
that runs within a single OS. This type of partitioning controls resource allocations within
an OS.
policy
A collection of rules and settings that control
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.
provision
A function that makes a component operational. Provisioning might include installing,
upgrading, loading, and configuring a software or hardware component. Provisioning a server
includes loading the appropriate software (operating system and applications), customizing
and configuring the system, and starting the server and its newly-loaded software. This makes
the system ready for operation.
PSET
Processor set. A collection of processors grouped together for exclusive access by applications
assigned to that processor set. Each application runs only on processors in its assigned processor
set.
resource partition
A subset of the resources available to an operating system instance, isolated for use by specific
processes. A resource partition has its own process scheduler. CPU resources in the partition
may be allocated using
or
. Policies for controlling the
