MSA
HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array. MSA is a direct attach, external shared storage solution
that helps customers easily transition from direct attached to centralized storage. It allows
departmental and small- to medium- business customers to grow capacity as demands increase.
nPartition
A
partition
Each nPartition operates independently of other nPartitions and either runs a single instance
of an operating system or is further divided into
nPartitions can be used as
software for Integrity (gWLM) as long as several requirements are met. Refer to the gWLM
online help for a description of nPartition requirements.
parked workload
A
workload
system is set to "none" when it is created or later modified. A parked workload that was
previously associated with a system may have historical data associated with it from HP Insight
Capacity Advisor software or HP Insight Global Workload Manager software for Integrity
(gWLM). As with any workload, the historical data will be lost if the workload is deleted.
When migrating a workload from one system to another, it may be useful to park the workload
(removing the association with the original system) until the new system becomes available.
This preserves the historical data for the workload across the migration.

policy
A collection of rules and settings that control
Workload Manager software for Integrity (gWLM). For example, a policy can indicate the
minimum and maximum amount of CPU resources allowed for a workload, and a target to be
achieved.
A single policy can be associated with multiple workloads.
provision
A function that makes a component operational. Provisioning might include installing,
upgrading, loading, and configuring a software or hardware component. Provisioning a server
includes loading the appropriate software (operating system and applications), customizing
and configuring the system, and starting the server and its newly-loaded software. This makes
the system ready for operation.
PSET
Processor set. A collection of processors grouped together for exclusive access by applications
assigned to that processor set. Each application runs only on processors in its assigned processor
set.
resource partition
A subset of the resources available to an operating system instance, isolated for use by specific
processes. A resource partition has its own process scheduler. CPU resources in the partition
