VCEM | Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager. A management tool for defining a server connection |
| profile for each server bay. This profile establishes the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses |
| for all Network Interface Controllers (NICs), the World Wide Names (WWNs) for all host bus |
| adapters (HBAs), and the SAN boot parameters. If the server blade in the server bay is replaced, |
| the configuration and connection profile stays constant. |
virtual machine | A software entity provided by HP Integrity Virtual Machines, VMware ESX, VMware ESXi, or |
| Microsoft |
| Machines) to act as a VM Host for multiple individual virtual machines, each running its own |
| instance of an operating system (referred to as a guest OS). Virtual machines are managed |
| systems under Insight Dynamics. |
virtual partition | A software partition of a server, or of a single nPartition, where each virtual partition can run |
| its own instance of an operating system. A virtual partition cannot span an nPartition boundary. |
VM Host | A server running HP Integrity Virtual Machines, VMware ESX, VMware ESXi, or Microsoft |
| |
| system. |
vPars | An HP software product that provides virtual partitions. |
vPars monitor | The program that manages the assignment of resources to virtual partitions in a |
| system. To enable virtual partitions, the vPars monitor must be booted in place of a normal |

WBEM | |
| developed by the Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. A WBEM provider offers access to |
| a resource. WBEM clients send requests to providers to get information about and access to the |
| registered resources. |
WMI | Windows Management Instrumentation. Insight Dynamics uses WMI for data collection from |
| managed systems running Microsoft Windows. WMI queries and responses are converted to |
| WBEM through the WMI Mapper. |
workload | The collection of processes in a |
| compartment, or virtual machine compartment. HP Insight Global Workload Manager software |
| for Integrity (gWLM) extends this concept to include processor set (PSET) compartments and |
| |
| workloads by automatically adjusting the resource allocations of compartments based on policies. |
