HP SIM V5.1 User Guide (356920-009, January 2007)

• Threshold interval The number of minutes of utilization data averaged to calculate the measured
value.
• Threshold value The maximum utilization value that provides a Normal status.
• Measured interval The number of minutes of utilization data averaged to calculate the measured
value.
• Measured value The average utilization over the most recent measured interval.
• State The current state of the threshold. The state can be:
• Unknown Indicates that the number of utilization samples available is less than the threshold
interval.
• Normal Indicates that sufficient utilization samples are available, and the measured value
is less than or equal to the threshold value.
• Exceeded Indicates that sufficient utilization samples are available, and the measured
value is greater than the threshold value.

Virtual machine guest performance
After clicking a virtual machine guest in the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) console, click the VM
Performance tab to display performance information for the guest. Select the appropriate time frame at
the top of the screen for which to display information.
• Virtual machine performance
• Virtual processor utilization (vCPU) The CPU percentage consumed by the virtual machine
relative to the resource utilization. The Host Processor Utilization on 1 CPU value is reported
for VMware GSX Server and VMware Server.
• Host processor utilization on x CPUs The CPU percentage consumed by the virtual machine
relative to the number of physical processors ( x ) on which the virtual machine can execute.
• Host processor utilization on all CPUs The CPU consumed by the virtual machine, relative to the
total virtual machine host processors.
• Memory utilization The physical host used by the virtual machine. The utilization bar indicates
the virtual machine memory utilization as a percentage of the physical memory configured on the
virtual machine host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).
• Network throughput The network traffic transmitted and received by the virtual machine. The
utilization bar indicates the virtual machine network throughput as a percentage of the total network
throughput on the virtual machine host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).
• Network transmit throughput The network traffic transmitted by the virtual machine. The utilization
bar indicates the virtual machine Network Transmit Throughput as a percentage of the total network
throughput on the virtual machine host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).
• Network receive throughput The network traffic received by the virtual machine. The utilization
bar indicates the virtual machine network receive throughput as a percentage of the total network
throughput on the virtual machine host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).
