Create an application workload in Virtualization Manager

The following procedure illustrates the case where an application manager wants to create an
application-based workload using processes discovered by Application Discovery , but that are
not currently recognized as an application by either Application Discovery or Virtualization
Manager.

Prerequisites:

•

You must have “VSE All Tools” authorization to modify template attributes. (See “User
authorizations” in Insight Dynamics help for a discussion of tool box permissions for
Application Discovery and Virtualization Manager.)

•

The processes that you want to include in the workload must be running on the system
where you are creating the workload.

NOTE:

You can create monitored workloads on HP-UX. Only whole-OS workloads are supported

on systems running Linux.

1.

Start by creating a workload in Virtualization Manager.

To get to Virtualization Manager, select Tools

→Virtualization Manager... on the top menu

bar.

The Virtualization Manager Visualization tab opens.

2.

Click Create

→Workload Definition... on the Visualization tab.

The Create Monitored Workload Definition screen opens.

3.

Choose a system, and type a workload name and description.

4.

Specify the Workload Definition Criteria to be 'by application' in the drop down.

5.

Optional: Select “Show All Running Applications” to see all currently discovered applications
on the selected system.

6.

Click the Create/Edit Application Template... link.

The AD Templates tab opens in the Application Discovery user interface.

7.

Click Create new AD template.

A new application template opens for editing.

8.

Fill in the

Application Identity

, the

System Scope

, the

Separation Rules

, and the

Aggregation

Rules

.

9.

Click Submit.

10. Click OK in the dialog box to confirm the template submission.

The new template displays.

11. Optional: Click the Admin/Config

→AD Agents tab to see what the process interval is for

the target system of this application template.

Assuming that the process interval is 5 minutes, that is the length of time to wait until
Application Discovery finds the new template to match to running processes on the target
system.
