HP Virtualization Manager with Logical Server Manager 6.2 User Guide
Updating system workloads
You can update all monitored workloads on the system:
1. In the Visualization View, select a system by clicking the compartment check box.
Virtualization Manager highlights the compartment. (You can select only one system at a
time.)
2. Select the Tools→Update System Workloads menu action.
All monitored workload definitions on the selected managed system are replaced. This action
first deletes all existing workload definitions on the selected managed systems. It then pushes
out the workload definitions on the CMS that apply to the selected managed systems to those
systems. Data that had been previously stored by the recovered workloads is not lost; rather, it
is accessible after the workload definition is pushed back to the selected managed system.
NOTE: This action only affects monitored workloads and has no effect on managed workloads.
Therefore, this operation cannot be used to restore gWLM workload definitions.
Components of the workload view
Figure 3-3 shows the major components of the Workload View.

You can change the number of workloads displayed per page by modifying the user
preference for workload pagination. For information, see “Modifying user preferences”
