Note that the default workload host.OTHER “holds” the resources reserved for the host (mentioned in
the discussion of the gWLM policy maximum, previously). Note that because Integrity VM software
does not assign an entitlement for the VSE/gWLM workload host.OTHER, there is no mapping from
Integrity VM entitlement to gWLM policy for this workload.
Overview: Configuring and Managing Virtual Machines as
VSE Workloads
This section provides a brief overview of how you can configure and manage your Integrity VM
virtual machines as VSE workloads. It describes how to:
• Bring your virtual machines under the control of gWLM (see “Configuring VM Host Virtual
Machines as VSE Workloads and Applying gWLM Policies” on page 8)
• Bring an additional, subsequently configured virtual machine under the control of gWLM (see
“Adding a Virtual Machine to the VM Host’s SRD” on page 9)
• Use gWLM to monitor the behavior of the various virtual machines under its control, in real time as
well as historically (see “Viewing the Behavior of the Virtual Machine Workloads Under gWLM
Control“ on page 9)
Configuring VM Host Virtual Machines as VSE Workloads and Applying
gWLM Policies
To configure your virtual machines as VSE workloads to be managed by gWLM and assign gWLM
policies to these workloads, access the CMS from a web browser and use the Manage Systems and
Workloads wizard available through the VSE Management menu bar. The wizard takes you through
four steps to set up your virtual machine workloads under the control of gWLM:
1. Specify a host name for each of your Integrity VM virtual machines—this establishes your virtual
machines as VSE/gWLM workloads.
