HP Insight Dynamics - VSE is advanced lifecycle management software for HP
Integrity servers which allows you to instantly adjust to dynamic business
demands - with the new addition of infrastructure orchestration, not only can
you easily plan, configure, and automate your physical and virtual resources in
the same way, but now you can also provision and modify a complex
infrastructure in minutes.
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 and
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.
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.
The workload management capability for HP Integrity servers is provided by
the HP Global Workload Manager component of HP Insight Dynamics - VSE. HP
Global Workload Manager (gWLM), is an intelligent policy engine that
automatically allocates resources among multiple workloads to increase
server utilization while meeting service levels for high-priority applications.
Designed to work across multiple HP-UX 11i, OpenVMS and Linux
environments, the workload management features are ideal for large,
centralized IT environments that host applications for many departments.
HP Insight Dynamics infrastructure orchestration capabilities let you provision
infrastructure in minutes to automatically activate physical and virtual
servers, storage, and networking from pools of shared resources. Whether
you need a single virtual machine or infrastructure for a complex three-tier
application, Insight Dynamics infrastructure orchestration finds available
resources, streamlines the approval process, and automatically provisions
and configures what's needed across infrastructure silos. Delivering
infrastructure to the business becomes faster, more efficient, and more
reliable.
HP Performance Manager, Agents, and Monitor combine to provide a powerful
and flexible distributed management solution. This solution is a single
interface for centrally monitoring, analyzing, and forecasting resource
utilization for distributed multi-vendor environments, enabling you to offer
the best possible level of service in a cost-effective manner.
to control the amount of resources that processes use during peak system
load. HP PRM can manage allocation of the following resources:
