HP UX vPars and Integrity VM v6 manual Network devices

6The utilization meter (bar graph) displays network I/O throughput data, if available. The data is a 5-minute average that is calculated and updated on 5-minute boundaries. If the data cannot be displayed, the meter is dimmed (as in the meter in the next box below) and a label indicates the probable cause. For a description of meter labels, see “Utilization meter status/error information” (page 117).

Using VM Manager with Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX, you can click a meter to view a snapshot of Capacity Advisor historical data for network I/O; this feature is not provided when using VM Manager from HP SMH.

For more information about using VM Manager to collect and view utilization data, see Chapter 7 (page 105).
