Performance Management Pack
Seeing that the PF (performance) column for this server is showing a warning state, the system
administrator clicks the icon to view PMP. PMP shows real-time performance graphs of a number of
measures and generates reports that summarize performance over time. PMP integrates with HP SIM
to give a complete picture of server operation. In this case, the system administrator notes that the
CPU utilization problem is not just a spike, but an ongoing issue (Figure 5). To continue gathering
information to troubleshoot this problem, the administrator looks at Server Automation to verify if the
system configuration has not changed.
