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

Listing Workloads

The units of work defined and managed by VSE are workloads. Getting a complete list of all the

workloads in the VSE environment is the first step in reporting usage information.

In addition, the workloads of interest must be identified in the list of all workloads. This is because not

all VSE workloads listed are necessarily directly related to users. This is for two main reasons: some

workloads are intermediate in a hierarchy, and some are Other workloads that are part of the VSE

implementation and therefore are automatically created.

GUI: VSE Manager Workload tab

The Workload tab in VSE Virtualization Manager, shown in the following figure, displays a table

with all the workloads in the environment of all types.

In this output, the Other workloads all end with .OTHER in their name and can be ignored. This

output can be used with the Contained In column to learn more about the hierarchies of the

workloads, but an easier approach is to display the hierarchy on the System page, as shown in the

following figure:
