Glossary
agent | A program with a |
| 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 | HP Application Discovery. The HP VSE Management Software application that inventories |
Discovery | 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 | The process of finding applications and gathering performance and location data about them |
discovery | 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. |

server |
|
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 | See gWLM. |

|
gWLM | HP Global Workload Manager. The HP VSE Management Software application that allows you |
| to centrally define |
| policies increase system utilization and facilitate controlled sharing of system resources. gWLM's |
| monitoring abilities provide both |
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 |
| |
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 | HP Virtualization Manager. Provides hierarchical visualization of servers and workloads, with |
Manager | seamless access to the management tools of the VSE technologies. |
Integrity Virtual | See Integrity VM. |
Machines |
|
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 |
