HP Insight Control Virtual Machine Management 6.0
• Network—Network throughput for 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
• Storage—Storage throughput for the virtual machine. The utilization bar indicates the virtual machine
storage throughout as a percentage of the total storage throughput on the virtual machine host
Threshold settings
A threshold specific to a virtual machine hosts that can be evaluated.
• State—The current state of this threshold. The state can be:
Unknown, indicating that the number of utilization samples available is less than the threshold
interval.
•
• Normal, indicating that software utilization samples are available and the measured value is less
than or equal to the threshold value.
• Exceeded, indicating that sufficient utilization samples are available and the measured value is
greater than the threshold value.
• Threshold interval—The number of minutes of utilization data that must be available before the threshold
is evaluated
• 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
• Threshold value—The maximum utilization value that provides a normal status
Displaying virtual machine guest performance
1. From the HP All Systems page, select a virtual machine guest.
2. Click the VM Peformance tab.
3. Select the appropriate time frame at the top of the screen for which to display information.
NOTE: The VM Performance tab is not available for Xen on RHEL and SLES.
Virtual machine performance
The following performance information is provided for VMware ESX Server, Citrix XenServer, and Microsoft
Hyper-V server hosts, except where noted:
• Virtual processor utilization (vCPU)—The CPU percentage consumed by the virtual machine relative to
the resource allocation. The Host Processor Utilization on 1 CPU value is reported.
• 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 this virtual machine, relative to the total
virtual machine host processors .
• Memory utilization—The physical host memory used by this virtual machine. The utilization bar indicates
the virtual machine memory utilization as a percentage of the physical memory configured on the virtual
machine host.
• Network throughput—The network traffic transmitted and received by this virtual machine. The utilization
bar indicates the virtual machine network throughput as a percentage of the total network throughput
on the virtual machine host.
• Network transmit throughput—The network traffic transmitted by this 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.
• Network receive throughput—The network traffic received by this 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.
