or HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers running HP-UX 11i. By aggregating
data from HP Insight Management Agents and other management tools,
the System Management Homepage provides a secure and intuitive
interface to review in-depth hardware configuration and status data,
performance metrics, system thresholds and software version control
information. The System Management Homepage can also be used to
access the HP Lights-Out Management processor on ProLiant and
Integrity servers.
HP Virtual Server
Environment for HP
Integrity
HP Virtual Server Environment (VSE) for HP Integrity servers and
blades provides an automated infrastructure that can adapt in seconds
with mission-critical reliability. HP VSE allows you to optimize server
utilization in real time by creating virtual servers that can automatically
grow and shrink based on business priorities and service-level
objectives.
HP-UX Software
Assistant (SWA)
HP-UX Software Assistant (SWA) is a command-line based tool that
consolidates and simplifies patch management and security bulletin
management on HP-UX systems. The SWA tool is new for HP-UX
releases as of January 2007, includes Security Patch Check (SPC), and
is the HP-recommended utility to use to maintain currency with HP-
published security bulletins for HP-UX software.
HP-UX Workload
Manager
HP-UX Workload Manager (HP-UX WLM) is a resource management
tool that provides automatic CPU resource allocation and application
performance management based on your service-level objectives
(SLOs) and business priorities. WLM is most effective managing
applications that are CPU-bound. It automatically adapts system or
partition CPU resources (cores) to the demands, SLOs, and priorities of
the running applications. (A core is the actual data processing engine
within a processor, where a single processor can have multiple cores,
and a core can support multiple execution threads through Hyper-
Threading, introduced with HP-UX 11i v3, as discussed below.) It
adjusts the CPU allocation of a group of processes known as a
workload, basing adjustment on the current needs and performance of
the applications in that workload.
HP-UX Global Workload
Manager
HP servers. Using these policies can increase system utilization and
facilitate controlled sharing of system resources. In addition, gWLM
provides both real-time and historical monitoring of the resource
allocation.
gWLM consists of a VSE Central Management Server, or CMS. You
configure gWLM and monitor your workloads from the system where the
CMS software is installed. Also, you use agent software on the systems
where you have workloads you want gWLM to manage.
Insight Management
Agents
Insight Management Agents should be installed on all HP servers to
present system instrumentation, health and configuration information
into HP Systems Insight Manager and the HP System Management
Homepage. The HP System Management Homepage aggregates
systems data from Insight Management Agents and other HP
management tools, providing a consolidated browser-based interface for
managing individual servers.
The HP System Management Homepage (SMH) and OS
instrumentation (WBEM providers) to support management tools such
as SMH and HP SIM are included in the HP-UX Operating
