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.
HP Process Resource Manager (HP PRM) is a resource management
tool used to control the amount of resources that processes use during
peak system load. HP PRM can manage allocation of the following
resources:
CPU: Ensures a minimum allocation of CPU; can also
simultaneously 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
Performance Management Pack detects, analyzes, and explains
hardware bottlenecks on HP Integrity servers running Windows.
NOTE: No PMP license is required to manage Integrity servers.
Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP) extends HP Systems Insight Manager
with a complete deployment solution for HP Integrity server blades
running Linux or Windows. RDP provides a central location to configure
server hardware, deploy the Windows, Linux operating environments
and install HP Integrity Support Pack drivers using images and scripted
profiles.
One method the HP 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.
Workload Manager can dedicate specific resources to specific
applications within an operating system image, avoiding resource
contention issues. Using
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 (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.
