Glossary

That utilization value in the selected time interval which 10% of the utilization values fall above, and 90% fall below or are equal to.

When referring to a logical server, activate means to make a logical server definition available to be deployed into the computing environment. An active logical server is one that is currently operating within the computing environment. An inactive logical server is one that has been defined but is not currently operating within the computing environment.

The process of changing an inactive cell into an active cell. A cell is activated when it is integrated into an nPartition. A cell can also be activated through cell online activation.

The process of changing an inactive I/O chassis into an active I/O chassis. A chassis is activated when the cell to which it is attached is activated.

The process of finding applications and gathering performance and location data about them for display and use.

Cells and I/O chassis that are not assigned to an nPartition; or cores, memory, and I/O resources that are not assigned to a virtual partition. These resources are available to be used in new partitions or can be added to existing partitions.

The sum of all the utilization values divided by the number of data points for the selected time interval.

Accelerated Virtual Input/Output. An I/O protocol that improves virtual I/O performance for network and storage devices used within the Integrity VM environment.

A device that is accessible to the Integrity VM Host and maps to a storage device on a virtual machine.

A compute cabinet that can be used as the only compute cabinet in a complex, or as half of a dual compute cabinet complex. A base cabinet is always physically the left cabinet in the pair (when viewed from the front) and is always the cabinet that contains the Service Processor.

A cell in a partitionable system. In future versions of partition management software, base cells may be distinguished from other cell types. A base cell does not participate in interleaved memory if the cell is online activated and an online re-interleave is not done, or if the cell's failure usage flag is set to Base, No Interleave when the partition is booted after a hardware failure.

A timeless demand profile used to generate demand profiles in forecasting.

Boot-is-blocked. The state of a cell that is powered on but not allowed to boot. BIB exists as soon as power is enabled to a cell, although the system firmware completes its power-on self-test sequence before waiting for BIB to be cleared by the Service Processor. BIB is cleared when the Service Processor is told to boot an nPartition. BIB is also cleared when the system firmware determines that there is no active Service Processor in a complex.

HP BladeSystem is an infrastructure in a box that can support a combination of virtual machines, storage blades, and server blades. It comprises server blade compute nodes, integrated connectivity to data and storage networks, and shared power subsystems.

A circuit board that contains processors and memory, all controlled by a cell controller (CC). A cell is the basic building block of an nPartition in a complex.

Cell online activation. The process of changing an inactive cell to an active cell in a booted partition without requiring a reboot. If such a cell is attached to a powered-on I/O chassis, then the chassis is also activated as part of the cell OLA. Some operating systems do not support online activation of cells.

Enable or disable power to a cell. A cell cannot become active until power has been enabled. It must be inactive before power can be disabled. A cell location must be populated in order to enable power. Physical removal of a cell must not occur until power has been disabled.

Powering a cell on or off will also power on or off an I/O chassis that is attached to the cell.

A server in which all cores and memory are contained in cells, each of which can be assigned for exclusive use by an nPartition. Each nPartition runs its own instance of an operating system.

Command line interface. An operating system shell for direct entry of commands by the user.

In HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM), the limiting of a policy's resource request.

Types of clipping include:

Cell local memory. Cell memory that is not interleaved. A page of cell local memory comes from a single cell. Cell local memory provides better performance than interleaved memory for processes running on the cores in the cell that contains the memory.

A set of two or more systems configured together to host workloads, such that users are unaware that more than one system is hosting the workload.

Central management server. A system in the management domain that executes the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) software. All central operations within HP SIM are initiated from this system.

The mechanism used with HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) versions B.06.x and later for adjusting available usage rights for system components (RTU codewords), for applying an amount of temporary capacity to a system (TiCAP codewords), and for applying Sharing Rights to a GiCAP system to enable the creation of one or more groups (GiCAP codewords). Codewords are purchased from HP and retrieved from the Utility Pricing Solutions Portal.

An nPartition, virtual partition, virtual machine, or resource partition whose resources are allocated by HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM).

Multiple compartments are grouped to form a shared resource domain (SRD). The compartments all share the resources of the SRD. A compartment can be in only one SRD. Each compartment holds a workload. gWLM manages each workload's resource allocation by adjusting the resource allocation of its compartment.

The amount of a resource being consumed by all of the cores in a compartment. For example, if the processes in a compartment consume a total of two cores, the compartment consumption of cores is two.

The maximum amount of a resource that a compartment can have. This value is the maximum resource allocation allowed by the underlying compartment. However, HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) might reduce this number at times because an SRD has a large number of compartments and each compartment must receive a minimum portion of the resources.

The minimum amount of a resource that a compartment can have. This value is the minimum resource allocation required by the underlying compartment.

The compartment consumption of a given resource as a percentage of the compartment's size. For example, if a compartment's consumption is two cores and its size is four cores, the compartment utilization of cores is 50%.

A complex includes one or more cabinets that are cabled together and all of the hardware resources that they contain. A complex has a single Service Processor.

The data structure managed by the Service Processor that represents the configuration of a complex. The complex profile consists of the Stable Complex Configuration Data for the entire complex, and Partition Configuration Data for each nPartition in the complex.

Any cabinet containing cells. An I/O expansion cabinet is not a compute cabinet.

A policy for managing a workload's compartment. This type of policy indicates a policy that HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) should use when a certain condition occurs.

A processor that has been configured as the boot console handler and is now available for activation by the HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) software.

Resource allocation restrictions imposed by either the customer (for example, workload placement restrictions), or the HP Virtual Server Environment (for example, a cell cannot be subdivided across an nPartition).

Indicator of workload sensitivity to changes in CPU allocation. Larger values produce larger changes in the allocation, causing faster convergence on the policy's target; smaller values produce slower convergence on the target. The default rate is 1.0.

The actual data-processing engine within a processor. A single processor might have multiple cores, and a core might support multiple execution threads.

Each nPartition has one cell that system firmware selects at boot time to be the core cell. This cell must be attached to an I/O chassis that contains core I/O. The core cell has the following unique characteristics:

I/O hardware that provides the base set of I/O functions required by every nPartition. Core I/O includes the partition console interface and 10/100 BaseT network interface.

Information in each nPartition's Partition Configuration Data that guides system firmware in choosing the nPartition's core cell. Cells that are identified as core cell choices are tried first (in the order specified) before system firmware applies its default core-cell selection algorithm.

The virtual partition that is running the vPars command currently being executed.

A policy for managing the resources available to a workload. This type of policy allows you to provide your own metric. HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) then manages an associated workload, adjusting the resource allocation as needed based on the value of the metric. You update values for the metric using the gwlmsend command on the operating system instance where the workload is running.

The process of changing an active cell into an inactive cell. A cell becomes inactive when a shutdown for reconfiguration operation is performed on its nPartition. A cell can also be deactivated by setting its use-on-next-boot value to No and then performing a reboot for reconfiguration operation on the nPartition.

The process of changing an active I/O chassis into an inactive I/O chassis. An I/O chassis is deactivated when the cell to which it is attached is deactivated.

A processor that has not yet been configured at the boot console handler. HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) and HP Pay per use software cannot activate a processor that is deconfigured.

A set of resource-demand readings made at regular intervals for some period of time. The demand profile of a workload, system, or complex is used when doing capacity planning. Demand profiles can be based on historical data or computed as part of a forecast.

Dual In-line Memory Module. A standard memory-chip format.

As used by HP Application Discovery, this is a comparison of matched to unmatched processes running on a host. The ratio is the percentage of processes that can be matched to discovered applications.

A vPars feature that allows you to add unbound cores to a virtual partition, or remove them from a virtual partition, while the virtual partition is running.

A set of DIMMs installed as a single failure group. If any DIMM in the echelon fails or is deconfigured, the entire echelon is deconfigured. Some HP server models use an echelon size of 4 DIMMs; others use an echelon size of 2 DIMMs.

Information about system events made available from the source of the event to other parts of a server complex. An event log indicates what event has occurred, when and where it happened, and its severity (the alert level). Event logs do not rely on normal I/O operation.

The term “chassis log” was used in place of “event log” on earlier server models.

A specially configured compute cabinet that can be connected to a base cabinet to create a dual-compute-cabinet complex. The expansion cabinet is always the right-hand cabinet in the pair (when viewed from the front) and contains a hub to connect it to the Service Processor in the base cabinet.

The operation that takes place when a primary service (network, storage, or CPU) fails, and the application continues operation on a secondary unit.

A per-cell flag in the Partition Configuration Data that specifies how the cell will be reactivated and whether it will participate in memory interleave after a hardware failure.

An HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) policy for managing a workload's compartment. This type of policy allocates a workload's compartment a fixed (constant) amount of CPU resources.

Fixed policies do not have a settable priority. gWLM satisfies compartment minimums first; next, it satisfies both fixed policies and policy minimums; finally, it satisfies other policy types.

A cell in a partition that does not participate in interleaved memory (all of the cell's memory is used as cell local memory). A floating cell cannot be a partition's core cell.

It is generally easier to perform cell online activation of a floating cell than of a base cell, because no online re-interleave operation is needed. However, if a floating cell is attached to an I/O chassis, then the ability to do online activation is limited by the ability to do online activation on the chassis and cards in the chassis.

A prediction of system utilizations and workload demand profiles for some future time.

A time interval specifying the set of historical data to use for generating a forecast.

A combination of a forecast data range and a set of annual projected growth rates that are used to estimate future utilization.

Graphical User Interface. A visually-oriented user interface in which components and actions can be selected by clicking on objects and menus instead of typing command lines.

HP Global Workload Manager. The HP VSE Management Software application that allows you to centrally define resource-sharing policies that you can use across multiple HP servers. These policies increase system utilization and facilitate controlled sharing of system resources. gWLM's monitoring abilities provide both real-time and historical monitoring of the resource allocation.

High availability. The ability of a server or partition to continue operating despite the failure of one or more components. High availability requires redundant resources, such as CPU resources and memory, in specific combinations.

The high-availability status of a device group is usually indicated by the following notation.

A hard reset, like the reset (RS) command available at the Service Processor prompt, immediately stops the operating system and all applications, without forcing a crash dump.

In general, the amount of a computing resource that is available on a system after all requirements for applications on the system are accounted for.

In HP Capacity Advisor, requirements for applications include the utilization limits set for each application.

The name of a system or partition that is running an OS instance.

The operating system that is running on the host machine.

A hardware component that can be added to or removed from a cabinet, with software intervention, while the cabinet remains operational. Examples are PCI I/O cards, cells, and I/O chassis.

These components are hot-pluggable only to the extent that operating system and hardware support is present. For example, with the initial HP-UX 11i release, a cell is hot-pluggable because it can be physically installed into a "hot" cabinet and powered on, but that version of the OS does not support cell online activation.

A hardware component that can be added to or removed from a cabinet, without software intervention, while the cabinet remains operational. Examples are bulk power supplies, cabinet blowers, and I/O fans. These items are hot-swappable if their removal does not create an N-1 HA situation. For example, if a cabinet's power status is N+1, then any one of the bulk power supplies can be removed without affecting the operation of the cabinet.

HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM). The platform and framework on which the HP VSE Management Software products are deployed.

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology. The ability of certain processors to create a second virtual core that allows additional efficiencies of processing. This is not a true multi-core processor, but it adds performance benefits. True multi-core processors typically deliver much greater performance than equivalent hyper-threading technology.

The physical location in a cabinet where an I/O support structure is located.

A PCI or PCI-X card cage and associated backplane that contains a system bus adapter and one or more local bus adapters. An I/O chassis may or may not be physically removable.

The fans that are used to cool an I/O chassis. Found in both I/O expansion cabinets and compute cabinets. I/O fans are distinct from cabinet blowers.

A physical structure in cabinets where one or more I/O chassis are located. In some cabinets the I/O support structure is referred to as an I/O support tray, in other cabinets as an I/O chassis enclosure (ICE). The different names reflect the different physical characteristics of the support structures. The I/O support structure is removable in some cabinet types (for example, I/O expansion cabinet) and is not removable in others.

HP Instant Capacity. The HP Utility Pricing Solutions product that allows you to purchase and install additional processing power through the use of a two-step purchase model. Initially, you purchase system components (cores, cell boards, memory) at a fraction of the regular price because the usage rights are not included. These Instant Capacity components are inactive but installed and ready for use. When extra capacity is needed, you pay the remainder of the regular price for the usage rights to activate the components. If the regular price for the component is reduced by the time the usage rights are purchased, the remainder price is proportionally reduced, providing additional savings.

Earlier versions of iCAP were referred to as Instant Capacity on Demand, or iCOD.

Also called a component without usage rights, an HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) component is a core, cell board, or memory that is physically installed in an iCAP system but is not authorized for use. Before it can be used, a right to use (RTU) must be purchased and a codeword must be applied to the system.

Also referred to as a core without usage rights, a core that is physically installed in an HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) system but does not have usage rights and is not activated. After obtaining usage rights, iCAP cores can be turned on by the iCAP software or during installation. Cores with usage rights are activated with the icapmodify command (or the vparmodify command in a virtual partition) while HP-UX is running.

I/O chassis enclosure. A specific type of I/O bay on some models of HP Superdome server. An ICE provides mechanical and electrical support for up to two 12-slot I/O chassis.

A cell that is not available for use by software running on an nPartition. This term is usually used to describe a cell that has the following status (though any cell that is not active is by definition inactive):

A core that either has not yet been activated or that has been turned off by the HP Instant Capacity iCAP software and returned to the pool of inactive cores. These cores are available for activation. New HP-UX processes are not assigned to a deactivated core, and all processes running on the deactivated core are migrated to other cores (with the exception that interrupt handlers might not be migrated from deactivated cores).

An I/O chassis that is not available for use by the software that is running on an nPartition. An I/O chassis is inactive when it is attached to an inactive cell.

A logical server that contains metadata but is not currently bound to a specific physical server or system. Inactive logical servers that have never been activated might or might not be bound to storage.

An nPartition in which all of its cells are inactive.

HP Integrity Virtual Machines. A soft partitioning virtualization product that allows you to install and run multiple systems (virtual machines) on the same physical host system (Integrity server or nPartition). The Integrity server or nPartition acts as a VM Host for the virtual machines (also referred to as guests). The virtual machines share a single set of physical hardware resources, yet each virtual machine is a complete environment in itself and runs its own instance of an operating system (referred to as a guest OS).

Memory that can be interleaved across more than one cell. Interleaved memory presents a single logical memory address range that is mapped to different physical memory ranges across multiple cells.

In HP Capacity Advisor, data that could potentially skew reporting results and lead to inaccurate or misleading conclusions when capacity planning. Examples of events that Capacity Advisor can recognize as potential sources of invalid points include the following:

I/O Dependent Code. IODC provides a uniform, architected mechanism to obtain platform information. IODC is composed of two parts. The first part is a set of up to 16 bytes that identify and characterize hardware modules. The second part is a set of entry points that provide a standard procedural interface for performing module-type dependent operations such as boot device, keyboard, and display device initialization and Input/Output routines. IODC is documented in the PA-RISC 1.1 I/O Firmware Architecture Reference Specification. NOTE: this link will take you outside of this help system. Your browser must have access to the internet to follow this link.

I/O expansion cabinet. A cabinet that contains I/O devices (card cages) but no cells.

Intelligent Platform Management Interface. A set of standards for remote multiplatform server management. IPMI uses intelligent platform management hardware and a message-based interface.

Used in a context where an nPartition command is being executed, the local nPartition is the nPartition that is running the command.

A feature provided by HP Virtualization Manager, a logical server is a set of configuration and metadata that you create, activate, and assign to operate within a physical or virtual machine. An active logical server can be moved from one location to another, and its characteristics can be modified. This feature allows you to populate an enclosure, load balance servers, and evacuate servers in case of disaster; it allows you to provision resources only when needed and increase utilization of limited compute resources.

License to use. One of the three main components of HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM): CMS, agents, and LTU for each agent. The CMS allows you to control and monitor gWLM. The agents run on the systems where you are managing workloads. You install an LTU on each system that runs an agent in order to continue full agent functionality beyond the initial trial period.

In graphs, the Effective Max is shown. This value is the smaller of Max Size and Compartment Max (the maximum amount of a resource that a compartment can have).

The current value of a metric being used in a policy.

A specific measurement that defines a performance characteristic.

In HP Capacity Advisor, a combination of the statistical model (such as peak or average) used to calculate the metric and whether it is to be presented as a percentage or an absolute value.

The process of activating and deactivating cores across partitions for load balancing.

The minimum amount of CPU resources, measured in cores, that an HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) policy requests for its associated workloads.

In graphs, the Effective Min is shown. This value is the larger of Min Size and Compartment Min (the minimum amount of a resource that a compartment can have).

Data that was not collected by HP Capacity Advisor, perhaps because a monitored system was down during data collection. Such data is not used in analysis, though it may be shown in the Profile Viewer.

Also known as the boot processor, this is the main controlling core of the operating system. This core is designated as CPU 0. The LPMC monitor does not deactivate or replace a failing monarch processor.

A workload that can be monitored by HP Virtualization Manager but has no policy associated with it. Monitored workloads are not managed by HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM).

The ability of an application and operating system to allow parallel computing by dividing processing between multiple processors or cores.

A partition in a cell-based server that consists of one or more cells, and one or more I/O chassis. Each nPartition operates independently of other nPartitions and either runs a single instance of an operating system or is further divided into virtual partitions.

nPartitions can be used as compartments managed by HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) as long as several requirements are met. Refer to the gWLM online help for a description of nPartition requirements.

A feature available on newer cell-based servers that can be used to restrict the ability of privileged users on one nPartition from affecting other nPartitions. This feature is configured by using the PARPERM command at the Service Processor command interface. For more information, refer to the Partition Manager Configuration Privilege topic.

The WBEM services provider for nPartition information about cell-based servers.

The ability to activate a deactivated core using HP Instant Capacity (iCAP) software while HP-UX is running. No reboot is required. This is done with the icapmodify command or, in a virtual partition, with the vparmodify command. Online activation is the default behavior of iCAP.

Operating system.

An HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM) policy for managing a workload's compartment. This type of policy allows you to set the following values:

A compartment is allocated the resources it owns when they are needed. When a workload is not busy, gWLM may lend its CPU resources to other workloads that are busy, as long as the compartment minimum is maintained. When it becomes busy, a compartment will immediately re-acquire any resources that were loaned to other compartments. A compartment with a busy workload can borrow CPU resources up to its allowed maximum, if resources are available from other compartments.

You can assign a weight to an OwnBorrow policy in order to prioritize resource allocation.

Resources, measured in cores, that are allocated to a compartment when they are required. A compartment can lend its owned resources to other compartments.

Partition console interface. Provides console access for an nPartition. PACI is a part of core I/O.

A package groups application services (individual HP-UX processes) together.

A workload that is not currently associated with a system. A workload becomes parked if its system is set to “none” when it is created or later modified. A parked workload that was previously associated with a system may have historical data associated with it from HP Capacity Advisor or HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM). As with any workload, the historical data will be lost if the workload is deleted.

When migrating a workload from one system to another, it may be useful to park the workload (removing the association with the original system) until the new system becomes available. This preserves the historical data for the workload across the migration.

The HP VSE Management Software application that manages and configures nPartitions on
