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.
By default, workloads are sorted alphabetically by the Name column header. The arrow
next to the header name shows the alphabetic sort order; by default, A to Z. When you click
on the Name column header, the alphabetic sort order reverses. You can also change the
sort order criteria by clicking on other column headers. For example: clicking on the Type
header sorts by workload type and highlights that column:
NOTE: When sorting on the Utilization columns, sorting is done based on current percentage
of maximum. If two meters have the same percentage, for example, 0%, then those two
meters are sorted based on absolute utilization.

The workload type is displayed as one of the values defined in Table 2-3.
Table 2-3 Workload type values
DefinitionValue
A workload associated with a package on a Serviceguard cluster.Cluster
A managed workload based on a Fair Share Scheduler (FSS) group.Fair Share Scheduler
The whole-OS workload on an HP virtual machine.Integrity VM
A workload monitoring a user, process, application, or a process map on a
system.
Monitor
The whole-OS workload on an nPartition.nPartition
The whole-OS workload on a Microsoft Virtual Server virtual machine.MS Virtual Server VM
A parked workload (not associated with a specific system). Parked workloads
are useful while migrating a workload from one system to another, in order
to preserve Capacity Advisor historical data.
Parked
A managed workload based on a processor set.Processor Set
The whole-OS workload on a standalone server. This could be a virtual
machine host.
Server
A workload that is part of a Shared Resource Domain (SRD).SRD Member
The whole-OS workload on a generic virtual machine.Virtual Machine
The whole-OS workload on a virtual partition.Virtual Partition
The whole-OS workload on a VMware ESX virtual machine.VMware ESX VM
