HP-UX. 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 Integrity Virtual Server
Manager with Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX, you can create, view, and modify
gWLM policies for VMs or vPars.
◦ HP Capacity Advisor is capacity analysis and planning software that allows you to
optimize the workloads across Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX for the highest
utilization of server resources. From Integrity Virtual Server Manager, you can cause
Capacity Advisor to collect and display historical data for a VSP or selected VMs or
vPars. Certain Integrity Virtual Server Manager views include utilization meters (bar
graphs) that display current utilization data for a resource; you can click the meter to
view a screen that provides more detailed historical data. (These meters are visible when
using Integrity Virtual Server Manager with HP SMH, but you cannot click them to obtain
a Capacity Advisor report.) For more information about using Integrity Virtual Server
Manager to collect and view utilization data, see Chapter 7 (page 119). For more
information about accessing Capacity Advisor through Integrity Virtual Server Manager,
see “Using the Tools menu” (page 75) and “Using the View menu” (page 80).
Other Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX components include:
◦ Application Discovery
◦ HP Instant Capacity Manager
◦ Partition Manager
◦ WBEM providers (which include the VM Provider and the Utilization Provider, as described
in “System and software requirements” (page 13) and other agents.
For more information about Matrix OE concepts and terminology, including a complete list
of the components of Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX, see the HP Matrix Operating
Environment 7.2 Getting Started Guide.
