Glossary of Integrity Server Blades Management Software Product Description
HP BladeSystem Integrated The HP BladeSystem Integrated Manager is a component in HP Systems Manager in HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) that provides streamlined management for the entire Insight Manager HP BladeSystem product family. The HP BladeSystem Integrated Manager enables users to quickly navigate their HP blade environments including blade servers, enclosure infrastructures, racks, and integrated switches, via automatically generated blade rack picture views and hierarchical trees. Users are able to conveniently configure, deploy, and manage individual or groups of blade systems. Additionally, users are able to quickly set up logical collections of blade systems for convenient management and control. HP Blades Visualization Used by System Administrators to identify, associate and group blades into collections, using tables, trees, and picture views, and it can also be used to monitor performance and launch Integrity Essentials. NOTE: For more information about Manageability solutions for Integrity Servers go to: http://h20341.www2.hp.com/integrity/w1/en/software/essentialsoverview.html. HP GlancePlus Pak HP GlancePlus Pak provides you with a single product for managing a system's availability and performance. It is an integrated product that includes HP GlancePlus. As an integrated product, the GlancePlus Pak includes the real-time diagnostic capabilities of GlancePlus and the historical data collection capabilities of the Performance Agent. The performance agent is used with other availability and performance management products, thus providing an integrated real-time and historical performance management solution. HP Ignite-UX HP Ignite-UX is a free toolset that enables a network install of HP-UX onto for HP-UX Deployments multiple PA-RISC and/or Integrity servers on a network. It can also be used to create custom install configurations, or golden images, recover systems remotely, create custom recovery media including tape, CD and DVD, and manage and monitor multiple client installation sessions. HP Capacity Advisor The capacity planning component of HP Insight Dynamics - VSE, HP Capacity Advisor offers the industry's first lightweight, integrated tool for ongoing capacity planning by simulating the placement of application workloads to help IT administrators improve server utilization. It captures real-world server utilization data to pre-test different scenarios before making changes to critical applications.

cap CPU resource usage for each group in the configuration. (Starting with HP-UX 11i v3, per-group capping is available.) Memory: Ensures a minimum allocation of private real memory; can also cap private memory usage. Allows you to allocate an exact amount of shared memory. Disk bandwidth: Ensures a minimum allocation of disk bandwidth Secure Resource Partitions One method that HP Insight Dynamics - VSE uses to improve server resource utilization is to consolidate multiple applications within a single operating system image. Secure Resource Partitions combine kernel level security and proven resource management to stack multiple applications within the same operating system. HP Process Resource Manager and HP-UX Workload Manager can dedicate specific resources to specific applications within an operating system image, avoiding resource contention issues. Using HP-UX 11i v3 Security Containment, organizations can ensure that application instances cannot access processes or files from other applications or the system. This ensures that multiple application instances run securely in a consolidated environment, providing the benefits of consolidation while preserving the security of a scale out environment. For software licensing purposes, the maximum number of CPUs in a Secure Resource Partition can be capped. Software Distributor-UX Software Distributor (SD) is the HP-UX administration tool set used to deliver and maintain HP-UX operating systems and layered software applications. SD is delivered as part of HP-UX; you do not need to download it separately.
