HP SIM V5.1 User Guide (356920-009, January 2007)

• Storage throughput The storage read and written by this 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).

• Storage read throughput The storage read by this virtual machine. The utilization bar indicates

the virtual machine storage read throughput as a percentage of the total storage throughput on

the virtual machine host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).

• Storage write throughput The storage written by this virtual machine. The utilization bar indicates

the virtual machine storage write throughput as a percentage of the total storage throughput on

the virtual machine host (VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server 2005).

• Resource Allocation The bars indicate the virtual machine allocation relative to the capacity available

on the virtual machine host.

• VMware ESX Server VMs This section includes the following information:

• CPU min The cpu.min value reported by VMware ESX Server.

• CPU max The cpu.max value reported by VMware ESX Server.

• CPU shares The cpu.shares value reported by VMware ESX Server.

• Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 virtual machine This section includes the following information:

• Reserved capacity The reserved system capacity value reported by Microsoft Virtual Server

2005 relative to one CPU.

• Maximum capacity The maximum system capacity value reported by the virtual server

relative to one CPU.

• Relative weight The relative weight value reported by the virtual server.

• Threshold settings A virtual machine-specific threshold can be evaluated. This section includes the

following information:

• 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 that is averaged when calculating

the measured value.

• Measured value The average utilization over the most recent Measured Interval minutes.

• State The current state of the threshold, which 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.
