HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager 4.1.1 Software: Release Notes

You use Virtualization Manager to access VM Manager for viewing and modifying VM
Host or virtual machine components.
◦ HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM) is a multiple-system,
multiple-OS workload manager that serves as an intelligent policy engine in Insight
Dynamics - VSE for Integrity. It simplifies the deployment of automated workload
management policies across multiple servers, and provides centralized monitoring and
reporting and improved server utilization to assist in meeting your service level objectives.
Using VM Manager with Insight Dynamics, you can create, view, and modify gWLM
policies for virtual machines.
◦ HP Insight Capacity Advisor software is capacity analysis and planning software that
allows you to optimize the workloads across your Insight Dynamics environment for the
highest utilization of server resources. From VM Manager, you can cause Capacity Advisor
to collect and display data for a VM Host or selected virtual machine. Certain VM Manager
views include utilization meters that display current utilization data for a resource; you
can click the meter to view a more detailed historical data report. (These meters are visible
when using VM Manager with HP SMH, but you cannot click them to obtain a Capacity
Advisor report.)
Other Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity components include:
◦ Application Discovery
◦ HP Instant Capacity Manager
◦ Partition Manager
◦ WBEM providers (which include the VM provider and the Utilization provider) and other
agents
