HP Virtualization Manager and HP Capacity Advisor: an introduction

system where the workload is running, whether the workload is being managed by gWLM, work-
load utilization metrics, and several other informational pieces of data. An important difference
between the Workload and System views is that the Workload view only shows systems that are
directly running workloads. In other words, the Workload view is filtered to remove nodes that
aren’t directly running applications. Consider an nPartition that contains two virtual partitions.
The two virtual partitions are shown on the Workload tab, but the nPartition is not. This view
is tailored for monitoring the workloads in an environment without attempting to depict the re-
lationships between the systems and workloads.
In addition to monitoring workloads, the Workload view also allows actions to be performed.
By selecting a workload, the Virtualization Manager action menu can be used to perform tasks
such as changing the gWLM workload policy associated with the workload or changing the de-
finition of the workload to include additional processes.
