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.

LTU

License to use.

managed system

A server or other system that can be managed by HP SIM from a CMS. A managed system can

 

be managed by more than one CMS.

managed

A workload that is managed by HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity

workload

(gWLM).

management

A CMS and its managed systems.

domain

 

monitored

A workload that can be monitored by HP Insight Virtualization Manager software but has no

workload

policy associated with it. Monitored workloads are not managed by HP Insight Global Workload

 

Manager software for Integrity (gWLM).

MSA

HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array. MSA is a direct attach, external shared storage solution

 

that helps customers easily transition from direct attached to centralized storage. It allows

 

departmental and small- to medium- business customers to grow capacity as demands increase.

nPartition

A partition in a cell-based server that consists of one or more cellsand one or more I/O components.

 

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.

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 HP Insight

 

Capacity Advisor software 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 Fair-Share Scheduler (FSS) group or a processor set,

 

that runs within a single OS. This type of partitioning controls resource allocations within

 

an OS.

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.

provision

A function that makes a component operational. Provisioning might include installing,

 

upgrading, loading, and configuring a software or hardware component. Provisioning a server

 

includes loading the appropriate software (operating system and applications), customizing

 

and configuring the system, and starting the server and its newly-loaded software. This makes

 

the system ready for operation.

PSET

Processor set. A collection of processors grouped together for exclusive access by applications

 

assigned to that processor set. Each application runs only on processors in its assigned processor

 

set.

resource partition

A subset of the resources available to an operating system instance, isolated for use by specific

 

processes. A resource partition has its own process scheduler. CPU resources in the partition

 

may be allocated using Fair-Share Scheduler groups or processor sets. Policies for controlling the
