command line
interface
See CLI.
complex
A complex includes one or more cabinets that are cabled together and all of the hardware
resources that they contain. A complex has a single
.
See also server, system.
constraints
Resource allocation restrictions imposed by either the customer (for example,
placement
restrictions), or the Matrix Operating Environment.
See also policy.
core
The actual data-processing engine within a processor. A single processor might have multiple
cores, and a core might support multiple execution threads.
See also processor.
demand profile
A set of resource-demand readings made at regular intervals for some period of time. The demand
profile of a
,
, or
is used when doing capacity planning. Demand profiles
can be based on historical data or computed as part of a forecast.
deploy
1.
In Systems Insight Manager, to implement one or more components such as software, drivers,
or licenses, rendering them under control of Systems Insight Manager.
discovery
1.
In system management applications, the process of finding and identifying network objects.
In Systems Insight Manager, discovery finds and identifies all the HP systems within a specified
network.
failover
The operation that takes place when a primary service (network, storage, or CPU) fails, and the
application continues operation on a secondary unit.
forecast
A prediction of
utilization and
for some future time.
forecast data
range
A time interval specifying the set of historical data to use for generating a forecast.
forecast model
A combination of a
and a set of
that are used
to estimate future utilization.
Global Workload
Manager
See gWLM.
guest
See virtual machine.
guest OS
The operating system that is running on a
GUI
Graphical User Interface. A visually-oriented user interface in which components and actions can
be selected by clicking on objects and menus instead of typing command lines.
See also CLI.
gWLM
Global Workload Manager. The HP Matrix Operating Environment application that allows you
to centrally define resource-sharing
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.
HA
High availability. The ability of a server or partition to continue operating despite the failure of
one or more components. High availability requires redundant resources, such as CPU resources
and memory, in specific combinations.
The high-availability status of a device group is usually indicated by the following notation.
The device group can experience a device failure and still function normally.
N+
The device group has just enough good devices to function normally. Subsequent failure of
a device in the group can cause the cabinet to shut down.
N
The device group does not have enough good components to function normally. If a cabinet
is running and goes into an N- cooling state, then the cabinet is automatically shut down.
N-
If a cabinet has an N- power state, then devices in the group cannot be powered on. This
means that if the cabinet is running, it continues running, but no additional devices can be
powered on. If the cabinet is off and comes up in the N- power state, then none of its
devices can be powered on.
