Integrity VM
HP Integrity Virtual Machines. A soft partitioning virtualization product that allows you to
install and run multiple systems (
) on the same physical host system (Integrity
server or nPartition). The Integrity server or nPartition acts as a
for the
(also referred to as guests). The virtual machines share a single set of physical hardware
resources, yet each
is a complete environment in itself and runs its own instance
of an operating system (referred to as a guest OS).
See also virtual machine, VM Host.
logical server
A feature provided by
HP Insight Virtualization Manager software
, a logical server is a set of
configuration and metadata that you create, activate, and assign to operate within a physical
or
. An active logical server 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 provision resources only when
needed and increase utilization of limited compute resources.
managed
workload
A
that is managed by HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity
(gWLM).
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).
node
See system.
nPartition
A partition in a cell-based server that consists of one or more cells, and one or more I/O chassis.
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 compartments 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.
See also virtual partition.
package
A package groups application services (individual HP-UX processes) together.
parked workload
A
that is not currently associated with a
. 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
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
hardware that includes core, 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.
1.
2.
A resource partition, made up of either a Fair-Share Scheduler or a processor set, that runs
within a single OS. This type of partitioning controls resource allocations within an OS.
See also nPartition, virtual partition.
percent resident
memory
A measure of the fractional amount of physical memory in use by a particular application for
a period of time.
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.
process map
A script residing in /etc/opt/vse/scripts that enables you to create output process IDs
(PIDs).
processor set
See PSET.
pruned
When a file is reduced to a set number of lines based on criteria determined by the system
(application) or the software user.
