Application Discovery 7.2 User Guide

server Physical server:
Hardware that can run one or more operating systems, including a partitionable complex.
Also, hardware that can run an instance of the vPars monitor. Server hardware includes one
1.
or more cabinets containing all the available processing cores, memory, I/O, and power
and cooling components. HP Integrity servers include two types of server hardware:
standalone servers and cell-based servers.
2. Virtual server:
A software-based virtual environment that can run an operating system. A virtual server
includes a subset of the server hardware resources, including cores, memory, and I/O.
Virtual servers may be virtual partitions under vPars or virtual machines under Integrity VM
.
3. Systems Insight Manager uses the term “server” for any standalone server, nPartition, or
virtual server that is running an instance of an operating system or an instance of the vPars
monitor.
See also system.
Serviceguard
workload
A monitored workload associated with a Serviceguard cluster and a particular Serviceguard
package within the cluster. The workload (and the utilization data reported) follows the package
it is associated with as it moves between the nodes of the cluster.
SSL Secure Sockets Layer. Protocol for validating identity and for creating an encrypted connection
between a server and a Web browser.
system A server, nPartition, virtual partition, or virtual machine that is running an instance of an
operating system.
1.
2. Entities on the network that communicate through TCP/IP or IPX. To manage a system, some
type of management protocol (for example, SNMP, DMI, or WBEM) must be present on the
system. Examples of systems include servers, workstations, desktops, portables, routers,
switches, hubs, and gateways.
See also server.
template An HP-supplied or user-defined set of rules, properties, or metadata that describe an object in a
computing network.
• In Application Discovery, templates specify the data collection and matching rules to be
used to define and discover an application.
• When referring to a logical server, a template is the collection of information that defines
the logical server and its attributes. A template logical server has no actual resources
associated with it.
unmatched process A process that Application Discovery can discover that does not match existing templates or
packages that Application Discovery is using for discovery and monitoring. Unmatched processes
might include custom and third-party applications.
virtual machine A software entity provided by HP Integrity Virtual Machines, VMware ESX, or Microsoft Virtual
Server. This technology allows a single server or (with Integrity Virtual machines) nPartition 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 in HP Matrix
Operating Environment.
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.
See also nPartition, virtual machine.
visibility Application Discovery makes it possible for you to control the amount of data appearing on user
interface screens by letting you determine what applications, packages, or hosts will be visible
in the user interface or not. Currently, visibility settings are global in nature, which means they
apply to all screens in Application Discovery and are not specific to a particular user or job role.
VM Host A server running software such as HP Integrity Virtual Machines, VMware ESX, or Microsoft
Virtual Server, that provides multiple virtual machines, each running its own instance of an
operating system.
