HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 20)

Callout Icons Graphical icons that display in the right-hand corner of compartments or
subcompartments. Information callout icons show the system or workload attributes.
Meter callout icons show expanded information about the utilization meters that
appear to the left of the icon. The utilization meters display the recent utilization
metrics for CPU, memory, disk, and LAN.
Cluster Two or more systems configured together to host workloads, in a way that users are
unaware that more than one system is hosting the workload. A Serviceguard cluster
is a specific type of cluster managed by Serviceguard software.
CMS Central Management Server. The system in a management domain that executes the
HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) software. All central operations within HP SIM
are initiated from this system.
Compartment A graphical representation of systems and workloads by the Virtualization Manager
software. From the Visualization tab, a hierarchical view presents systems (such as
an nPartition, virtual partition, virtual machine, virtual connect domain, and so on)
and their children as a self-contained unit. Each type of system is represented by a
compartment color so that you can identfiy common elements. You can select the
entire compartment or individual members within a compartment, then use the
Virtualization Manager drop-down menu items and toolbar.
Complex One or more hardware cabinets that are cabled together and that contain cells (circuit
boards containing processors and memory), each of which can be assigned for
exclusive use by an nPartition.
Expand and
Collapse feature Icons on the Virtualization Manager toolbar and in compartments that allow you to
expand or collapse subcompartments and/or detailed information, thus tailoring your
display to meet your needs.
Focus feature A compartment icon that allows you to focus the view on a single compartment, at
any level of the compartment hierarchy.
Hover text Descriptive text that displays for a GUI element when you hover the cursor over that
element. For example, hovering over the Show Workloads button on the Virtualization
Manager toolbar describes what it does. Hovering over compartment expansion
button in a collapsed compartment tells how many subcompartments are in the
compartment hierarchy.
Insight
Orchestration HP Insight Orchestration. A utility for integrating logical server planning, design,
and provisioning into a unified system.
Insight Power
Manager (IPM) HP Insight Power Manager. An integrated power monitoring and management
application that provides centralized control of server power consumption and thermal
output at the level of the data center.
Insight Recovery HP Insight Recovery. An application for configuring primary and recovery sites and
storage recovery groups for logical servers.
Instant Capacity HP Instant Capacity Manager. The HP Utility Pricing Solutions product that allows
you to purchase and install additional processing power through the use of a two-step
purchase model.
Logical server A set of configuration information that you create, activate, and move across physical
and virtual machines. It contains the logical server definition and description,
including the server compute resources (for example, number of CPU cores and
amount of memory), and the server connections to storage fabric and networks. This
feature allows you to populate an enclosure, load balance servers, and evacuate
servers for routine maintenance or in case of disaster; it allows you to provision
resources only when needed and increase utilization of limited compute resources.
Managed system A server or other system that can be managed by HP SIM from a CMS.
Management
domain A CMS and its managed systems.
nPartition A hardware partition in a complex. Each nPartition operates independently of other
nPartitions and either runs a single instance of an operating system or is further
