Extracting Resource Allocation Data for Chargeback in a HP Virtual Server Environment for HP Integrity Servers

The hpvmstatus command runs on a specific Integrity VM Host server and shows the summary

properties of the virtual machines on that server. In the following example, the –r flag specifically

shows the vCPUs and entitlement values:

HPVM HOST # hpvmstatus -r

[Virtual Machine Resource Entitlement]

[Virtual CPU entitlement]

The following script converts the virtual machine entitlement and vCPU values to an aggregate amount

of guaranteed physical core processing:

HPVM HOST # cat wkldguarhpvm.sh

hpvmstatus -r | \

awk '{ if (NR >5) printf "%s %2.2f\n",$1,$3*($4/100)}'

HPVM HOST #

This script produces the following output:

HPVM HOST # ./wkldguarhpvm.sh

vmlin1 0.80

vmhpux1 1.60

vmhpux2 1.60

vmwin1 0.80

HPVM HOST #

To run this command from the CMS command line on remote Integrity VM systems that are not

managed by gWLM, you can use the HP SIM custom tool and mxexec commands.
