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

Screens in Application Discovery that display a collection of data about various objects, often

views

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

Application Discovery. The HP Insight Dynamics application that inventories running and

Discovery

installed applications in a network and provides application and process map data used for

 

creating workloads in HP Insight Virtualization Manager software.

 

See also application discovery.

application

The process of finding applications and gathering performance and location data about them

discovery

for display and use.

 

See also Application Discovery.

Capacity Advisor

Capacity Advisor. The HP Insight Dynamics application that performs analysis and planning

 

of workloads on a system or across a set of systems.

central

See CMS.

management

 

server

 

CMS

Central management server. A system in the management domain that executes the HP SIM

 

software. All central operations within HP SIM 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.

gWLM

HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity. The HP Insight Dynamics

 

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

1. A system or partition that is running an instance of an operating system.

 

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 Insight

See gWLM.

Global Workload

 

Manager software

 

for Integrity

 

HP Insight

HP Insight Virtualization Manager software. Provides hierarchical visualization of servers and

Virtualization

workloads, with seamless access to the management tools of the HP Insight Dynamics suite

Manager software

technologies.
