HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

CPU The CPU percentage consumed by the virtual machine relative to the total processor capacity
of the virtual machine host.
vCPU The CPU percentage consumed by the virtual machine relative to its resource allocation.
Memory Physical host memory consumed by the virtual machine (VMware ESX Server and
Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).
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 throughput as a percentage of the total storage throughput on the virtual machine
host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).
Threshold settings A virtual machine host-specific threshold can be evaluated.
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.
