Collecting data for a workload with a HP Serviceguard package
You can associate a monitored workload with a Serviceguard package. This association allows
Matrix OE visualization to show workloads moving from one system to another within minutes of
a Serviceguard migration. It also allows Capacity Advisor to show an uninterrupted history of
utilization data for a workload across migrations.
Associating monitored workloads and Serviceguard packages requires that Serviceguard and the
corresponding version of the Utilization Provider have been installed on all member systems of the
Serviceguard cluster. For specific version information, see the HP Insight Management Support
Matrix .
