SPM is automatically installed as part of Insight Dynamics and is accessed through the logical server management (LSM) feature of Virtualization Manager. SPM must be connected to EVAs using Command View (CV), storage arrays that are managed by HP Insight Orchestration (HPIO) using Insight Operations Orchestration or SMI-S, and to unmanaged storage arrays.

For more information about SPM, see the HP Storage Provisioning Manager User Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs.

Application Discovery

Application Discovery helps you identify and learn about the applications and processes running in your data center or computing network.

With Application Discovery, you can do the following:

•Discover the location and number of recognized, running and installed applications in your network or data center

•Monitor the activity and resource usage of running processes and applications

•Define and adapt application templates to your environment for better discovery of your third-party and custom applications, and to make them available for adding to monitored workloads

•Select the event types for which you want to receive notifications and set their level of importance

For more information about Application Discovery, see the Application Discovery 6.2 User Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs.

HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity

To access Global Workload Manager (gWLM) from Virtualization Manager, select the Shared Resource Domain tab or select one of the items under Tools→Global Workload Manager from the Insight Dynamics menu bar. Global Workload Manager improves both workload performance and resource utilization in a shared computing environment. For servers partitioned with nPartitions, virtual partitions, virtual machines, psets, or FSS groups, gWLM can do the following:

•Monitor each application.

•Determine the CPU resources needed by each application.

•Automatically migrate CPU resources between partitions to where they are needed most. This migration improves application performance by making more resources available to the application at times of peak demand. In addition, migrating idle resources to the applications that are busy increases processor utilization.

For more information about gWLM, see the HP Insight Global Workload Manager 6.2 User Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs.

HP Instant Capacity Manager

The Instant Capacity (iCAP) Manager is a web-based interface that can be used to monitor your Instant Capacity environment. There are several pages available in iCAP Manager, including a home page to provide an overview of the Instant Capacity resources available, a Global Instant Capacity (GiCAP) group manager page to provide more insight into the group managers, and detail pages for GiCAP groups and iCAP complexes and hosts.

You can get to iCAP Manager in either of the following ways:

•From the Virtualization Manager Visualization tab, click the iCAP technology link associated with any managed system that has iCAP components, TiCAP capacity, or is a member of a GiCAP group.

•Select Tools→Instant Capacity Manager from the Insight Dynamics menu bar.

For more information about iCAP Manager, see the iCAP Manager help.
