divided into virtual partitions. An nPartition can be used as a compartment managed
by gWLM.
Pagination In the Workload View, when the number of workloads displayed exceeds the per-page
limit, pagination allows you to navigate to the next page to continue viewing
workloads.
Perspective The Perspective drop-down menu on the Virtualization Manager allows you to select
different ways of visualizing your enterprise. The default view is the Physical and
Virtual view, which shows all physical and virtual servers and the greatest number
of nodes. You can select alternate views for logical servers, server blades, Virtual
Machines, ServiceGuard clusters, or show systems and events
Policy A collection of rules and settings that control workload resources. For example, a
policy can indicate the minimum and maximum amount of processor resources
allowed for a workload and a target to be achieved. A single policy can be associated
with multiple workloads.
Shared Resource
Domain (SRD) Shared resource domain. A collection of compartments that share system resources.
The compartments can be nPartitions, virtual partitions, virtual machines, psets, or
FSS groups. SRDs are managed from the SRD tab in the Virtualization Manager.
Technology Icons Graphical icons displayed in Virtualization View compartment or subcompartment,
allowing you to launch applications, view profiles, or go to management screens for
a given technology. Icons represent the following technologies: Application Discovery,
HP Instant Capacity groups (GiCAP), gWLM Shared Resource Domains (SRD), HP
BladeSystem Integrated Manager, HP Insight Orchestration. HP Insight Power Manage
(IPM), Insight Recovery, HP Instant Capacity (iCAP), HP Onboard Administrator
(OA), HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) 2, HP iLO Remote Console, HP SIM System
page, Logical Servers, Partition Manager, Process Resource manager (PRM),
Serviceguard (SG) Manager, Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM), Virtual
Machine, Virtual Machine host, Virtual Machine Manager –VM Guest Remote Console,
Virtual Partition (vPar), and Workload.
User Preferences Application-specific user preferences that you can modify to tailor Virtualization
Manager to meet your needs. For example, you can set the display to always show
the maximum number of compartments with full details. Also, you can define the
default collection to display certain systems by default on the Visualization tab each
time you access the Virtualization Manager.
Utilization
metrics Virtualization Manager displays real-time utilization metrics from the managed
systems. In a compartment, meters depict utilization metrics for CPU, memory, disk,
and LAN obtained from the Virual Machine Management (VMM) for ESX and
Microsoft virtual machines hosts and guests, or from the Utilization Provider for all
other types, You can see additional information by clicking on the Meter callout to
the right of the meters.
Virtual Connect
(VC) HP Virtual Connect; a set of interconnect modules and embedded software for HP
BladeSystem c-Class enclosures that simplifies the setup and administration of server
connections, thereby enabling administrators to add, replace, and recover server
resources dynamically.
Virtual Connect
domain A logical grouping of servers, visible by expanding a VC domain compartment from
the Virtualization Manager's Visualization View, Blades perspective. Currently, only
HP BladeSystem c-Class servers appear in a VC domain. VC domains can be collected
in a group, and similiarly expanded from the Virtualization Manager.
Virtual Connect
domain group A logical collection of VC domains with the same network and storage configuration.
A VC domain group can be expanded from the Virtualization Manager's Visualization
View, Blades perspective.
Virtual machine A software entity provided by HP Integrity Virtual Machines, VMware ESX, or
Microsoft Virtual Server. This technology allows a single server or (with Integrity
Virtual machines) nPartition to act as a VM Host for multiple individual virtual
machines, each running its own instance of an operating system (referred to as a guest
OS). Virtual machines are managed systems in Insight Dynamics.
