Extracting Resource Allocation Data for Chargeback in a HP Virtual Server Environment for HP Integrity Servers
Physical Server CPU Cores and Memory
As described earlier, IT might want to allocate the costs of physical servers across its workloads
proportionally. If this is the case, then you must first determine the CPU core and memory
configuration of the physical server.
GUI: HP SIM System page
The HP SIM System page for a physical server can be used to obtain component information for
servers. For complex physical servers, to view the number of CPU cores and amount of memory,
expand the Summary of Components heading on the main System page, as shown in the following
example:
For noncomplex physical servers, you can view the information in the Data Collection Report, under
the Tools & Links tab of the System page. (The asset tag is also displayed on this page.) The
following example page shows component information for noncomplex physical servers. Under the
CPU section, there is one line per physical CPU core in the server.
