Virtual partition A software partition of a server, or of a single nPartition, provided by HP vPars. Each
virtual partition can run its own instance of an operating system. A virtual partition
cannot span an nPartition boundary.
Visualization
View
The view presented by clicking the Virtualization Manager's Visualization tab. By
default, the view “perspective” is set for physical and logical systems. Alternately,
you can change the view to show logical servers, server blades, virtual machines,
Serviceguard, or systems and events.
Workload A basic unit of manageability in Virtualization Manager. A workload is a set of
processes whose real-time resource utilization can be monitored by Virtualization
Manager and collected by Capacity Advisor. Workloads assigned to a Shared Resource
Domain (SRD) can be managed according to a policy by Global Workload Manager
(gWLM). Workloads are graphically displayed from the Virtualization Manager's
Visualization View and Workload view. Workload types include: managed workloads
that are managed by Global Workload Manager (gWLM) and monitored workloads
that are not managed by gWLM and do not have a policy associated with them but
can be monitored by Virtualization Manager. Whole-OS workloads include a set of
all processes running on a system (server, nPartition, virtual partition, or virtual
machine). Whole-OS workloads are not displayed as workloads in the Visualization
View but are represented by the compartment box for the system. Serviceguard
workloads are monitored workloads associated with a Serviceguard cluster and a
particular package within the cluster.
Workloads are supported only on HP-UX nodes.
Workload view The view presented by clicking the Virtualization Manager's Workload tab.
