VSE Management Software

HP Virtualization Manager.  Visualization software that allows you to see the systems in your VSE at various levels of detail. Virtualization Manager gives you the ability to inventory the VSE, and provides a central point from which to configure your server resources for optimum utilization.

HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM).  A multi-system, multi-OS workload manager that serves as an intelligent policy engine in the VSE. It simplifies the deployment of automated workload management policies across multiple HP-UX 11i servers and provides centralized monitoring and reporting and improved server utilization to help you meet your service-level objectives.

HP Capacity Advisor.  Capacity analysis and planning software that allows you to optimize the workloads across your VSE for the highest utilization of server resources. Capacity Advisor provides scenario analysis to help optimize your current server resources and plan for future workload expansion and server consolidation.

HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager (VM Manager). The graphical user interface that you can use from your browser to manage HP Integrity VM resources. VM Manager allows you to create, configure, and manage virtual machines. You can view all of a VM Host's virtual machines and their assigned resources, and you can view all resources assigned to a specific virtual machine or virtual switch. At either the VM Host or virtual machine level, VM Manager provides graphical views of virtual-to-physical network and storage devices.

HP Application Discovery. Software that finds running and installed applications within your network. With Application Discovery, you can browse application data by server location, by type, and by state. Data found by Application Discovery can be seen and used in Virtualization Manager to add applications to workloads.

There are several pages available in iCAP Manager, including a home page to provide an overview of the Instant Capacity resources available, a Global Instant Capacity (GiCAP) group manager page to provide more insight into the group managers, and detail pages for GiCAP groups and iCAP complexes and hosts.

WBEM providers and other VSE agents.  Software that is installed on managed systems. One of these agents is the Utilization Provider that provides the real-time utilization metrics displayed by Virtualization Manager and collected by Capacity Advisor.
