HP Insight Virtual Machines Manager 4.1.1 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
