For a description of the types of workloads, see “Understanding workload types” (page 35).

The system on which the workload is defined. To examine the system properties, click the

system name (or IP address). This will display the SIM System Page for that system. This

field remains empty for parked workloads because the system property is set to “none”.

For managed workloads, this field displays the name of the gWLM policy associated with

the workload. To examine or modify the policy definition, click the policy name. This displays

the gWLM Create or Edit Policies screen for that policy. For servers and monitored workloads,

this field is displayed as “---”.

The real-time utilization metrics from each server and workload. This figure only shows the

CPU Utilization metric. In the actual screen, the other metrics appear to the right for memory

utilization, network I/O, and disk. You can view the historical data for any metric by clicking

its meter, which displays the Capacity Advisor Profile Viewer screen. If no data has been

collected yet, you can begin collecting data from that screen. For more information on the

Capacity Advisor, see the HP Insight Capacity Advisor 6.0 Software: User Guide.

An error indicator appears if there is a problem communicating with the managed system.

The utilization meters might show one of several error indicators instead of valid data. When

you hover the cursor over the error indicator, a message appears further explaining the

error.
