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 |
| resources, yet each virtual machine is a complete environment in itself and runs its own instance |
| of an operating system (referred to as a guest OS). |
| See also virtual machine, VM Host. |
logical server | A feature provided by HP Insight Virtualization Manager software, a logical server is a set of |
| configuration and metadata that you create, activate, and assign to operate within a physical |
| or virtual machine. An active logical server can be moved from one location to another, and its |
| characteristics can be modified. This feature allows you to populate an enclosure, load balance |
| servers, and evacuate servers in case of disaster; it allows you to provision resources only when |
| needed and increase utilization of limited compute resources. |
managed | A workload that is managed by HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity |
workload | (gWLM). |
monitored | A workload that can be monitored by HP Insight Virtualization Manager software but has no policy |
workload | associated with it. Monitored workloads are not managed by HP Insight Global Workload |
| Manager software for Integrity (gWLM). |
node | See system. |
nPartition | A partition in a |
| Each nPartition operates independently of other nPartitions and either runs a single instance |
| of an operating system or is further divided into virtual partitions. |
| nPartitions can be used as compartments managed by HP Insight Global Workload Manager |
| software for Integrity (gWLM) as long as several requirements are met. Refer to the gWLM |
| online help for a description of nPartition requirements. |
| See also virtual partition. |
package | A package groups application services (individual |
parked workload | A workload that is not currently associated with a system. A workload becomes parked if its |
| system is set to “none” when it is created or later modified. A parked workload that was |
| previously associated with a system may have historical data associated with it from Capacity |
| Advisor or HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM). As with any |
| workload, the historical data will be lost if the workload is deleted. |
| When migrating a workload from one system to another, it may be useful to park the workload |
| (removing the association with the original system) until the new system becomes available. |
| This preserves the historical data for the workload across the migration. |
partition | 1. A subset of server hardware that includes core, memory, and I/O resources on which an |
| operating system (OS) can be run. This type of partitioning allows a single server to run |
| an OS independently in each partition with isolation from other partitions. |
| 2. A resource partition, made up of either a |
| within a single OS. This type of partitioning controls resource allocations within an OS. |
| See also nPartition, virtual partition. |
percent resident | A measure of the fractional amount of physical memory in use by a particular application for |
memory | a period of time. |
policy | A collection of rules and settings that control workload resources managed by HP Insight Global |
| Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM). For example, a policy can indicate the |
| minimum and maximum amount of CPU resources allowed for a workload, and a target to be |
| achieved. |
| A single policy can be associated with multiple workloads. |
process map | A script residing in /etc/opt/vse/scripts that enables you to create output process IDs |
| (PIDs). |
processor set | See PSET. |
pruned | When a file is reduced to a set number of lines based on criteria determined by the system |
| (application) or the software user. |
