Using the workload view
The Workload View, accessed from the Workload tab, allows you to view all workloads in Insight
Dynamics. This section describes the purpose of the Workload View, workload types, how to
view and modify workloads, and the main components of the Workload View.
NOTE: Workloads are supported only on HP-UX nodes.
Purpose of the workload view
The Workload View allows you to view all of the workloads in Insight Dynamics, using a compact
table format. The Workload View shows the real-time utilization metrics of all workloads, allowing
you to quickly spot overloaded and under used resources. From this view, you can modify
workload properties by selecting the workload name, or you can select workloads for further
actions.
NOTE: Some workloads have a system hostname as the workload name. When selecting items
in the Workload View, be aware that you are selecting workloads and not systems.
For information about the different types of workloads that appear in Virtualization Manager,
see “Understanding workload types” (page 31). For a description of the components in the
Workload View, see “Components of the workload view” (page 33).
