Glossary
agent A program with a well-defined task that runs in the background and that is used to capture
information or do processing tasks.
aggregate data
views Screens in Application Discovery that display a collection of data about various objects, often
including system, application, and event data for all known instances of each in one table, but
with emphasis on one aspect of the data.
application A logically related set of processes active on a host system (a running application ) and/or a
logically related set of files on a host system disk (an installed application).
Application Discovery recognizes applications based on standard package installation, templates
that are shipped with the product, and templates that are defined by users.
Application
Discovery HP Application Discovery. The HP VSE Management Software application that inventories
running and installed applications in a network and provides application and process map
data used for creating
workloads in HP Virtualization Manager .
See also application discovery.
application
discovery The process of finding applications and gathering performance and location data about them
for display and use.
See also Application Discovery.
Capacity Advisor HP Capacity Advisor. The HP VSE Management Software application that performs analysis
and planning of
workloads on a system or across a set of systems.
central
management
server See CMS.
CMS Central management server. A system in the management domain that executes the HP Systems
Insight Manager software. All central operations within HP Systems Insight Manager are
initiated from this system.
discovery In system management applications, the process of finding and identifying network objects. In
HP Systems Insight Manager, discovery finds and identifies all the HP systems within a specified
network. In Application Discovery, discovery finds and identifies all running and installed
applications within a specified network.
discovery ratio As used by Application Discovery, this is a comparison of matched to unmatched processes
running on a host. The ratio is the percentage of processes that can be matched to applications.
Global Workload
Manager See gWLM.
gWLM HP Global Workload Manager. The HP VSE Management Software application that allows you
to centrally define resource-sharing
policies that you can use across multiple HP servers. These
policies increase system utilization and facilitate controlled sharing of system resources. gWLM's
monitoring abilities provide both real-time and historical monitoring of the resource allocation.
host A system or partition that is running an instance of an operating system. 1.
2.
The physical machine that is the HP Integrity Virtual Machines VM Host for one or more
virtual machines .
host name The name of a system or partition that is running an OS instance.
host OS The operating system that is running on the host machine.
HP Virtualization
Manager HP Virtualization Manager. Provides hierarchical visualization of servers and workloads , with
seamless access to the management tools of the VSE technologies.
Integrity Virtual
Machines See Integrity VM.
Integrity VM HP Integrity Virtual Machines. A soft partitioning virtualization product that allows you to
install and run multiple systems (
virtual machines ) on the same physical host system (Integrity
server or nPartition). The Integrity server or nPartition acts as a VM Host for the virtual machines
(also referred to as guests). The virtual machines share a single set of physical hardware
