1 Introduction
This document provides an overview of the HP Insight Virtualization Manager software and
logical servers features. System administrators can use this document as an introduction to the
Virtualization Manager and as a guide to using the software to visualize and manage systems
and workloads, and to create and manage logical servers. For information about using HP Insight
Dynamics, see the HP Insight Dynamics 6.0 Getting Started Guide.
This document is intended to be used by system administrators, application administrators,
capacity planners, and other technical professionals involved with data center operations,
administration, and planning. An understanding of HP-UX, Windows, or Linux system
administration concepts and procedures is assumed.
The HP Insight Virtualization Manager software provides a framework for visualizing the HP
Insight Dynamics suite. All of the systems and workloads that you are authorized to view are
