Utilization Provider
The Utilization Provider version A.01.08.05.02 is a lightweight daemon (utild) that records
system-utilization data on a 5-minute interval. System-utilization data includes CPU, memory, disk,
and network data. This product also includes a WBEM provider for access to the utilization data.
Summary of Change
The Utilization Provider for HP-UX 11i v3 has been updated to version A.01.08.05.02 to support
HP Insight Dynamics version 6.2.
Impact
When Utilization Provider is installed, it launches the utild daemon, which consumes minimal
CPU, memory, and disk resources. Up to 30 days of utilization data are kept in data files in /var/
adm/util. The total disk space used by these files should not exceed 20MB in the default utild
installation.
The data collected by Utilization Provider is used by the HP Insight Dynamics suites for Integrity,
ProLiant, and non-HP servers. HP Insight Virtualization Manager, HP Insight Global Workload
Manager for Integrity, and HP Insight Capacity Advisor rely on the Utilization Provider to collect
data from HP-UX managed systems.
Compatibility
This version of the Utilization Provider depends on HP WBEM Services for HP-UX version A.02.07.04
or later.
Performance
The utild process wakes up every 5 minutes and discovers and records the four metrics (CPU,
memory, disk, and network). This discovery has minimal impact on system performance.
Documentation
The utild daemon is described in the utild(1M) manpage. WBEM schema (MOF files) are installed
in /opt/util/mof.
