Viewing individual managed server details

The managed server Summary view displays the resource utilization for the selected managed server. This view shows the levels of processor, memory, disk, and network usage. It also identifies the elements of your PowerVM infrastructure associated with the selected managed server, such as the HMC, VIOS, logical partitions, and others.

This view appears in the Selected Service PowerVM view when you select the Managed Server tile, and then click a managed server in the Managed Server view on the left. Use it to review the trends in usage of the Managed server's system resources, and to review any generated alarms, if they exist. For example, high peaks in the processor utilization chart could result in performance degradation and should be investigated.

Identifying top consumers of PowerVM partition resources

A PowerVM® partition encapsulates operating system and application components. It runs inside a physical server and is dedicated a share of its physical resources. PowerVM partitions are managed by the PowerVM Hypervisor software. You can monitor the performance of PowerVM partitions when you select the Partition tile on the Infrastructure Environment dashboard.

The Summary - All Partition view identifies five partitions with the highest processor, memory, and disk entitlement, the highest processor, memory, and disk utilization, and the highest network throughput. This view appears in the Selected Service PowerVM view when you select All Partition in the Partition view on the left. Use it to quickly locate a PowerVM partition system with available resources that can be put to specific use in your integrated environment.

Identifying top consumers of PowerVM virtual I/O server resources

A PowerVM® Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) enables logical partitions to share physical resources of a managed server among multiple PowerVM partitions. It can provide virtualized storage along with network adapters, allowing you to facilitate the LAN and disk resources. You can monitor the performance of VIOS instances when you select the VIOS tile on the Infrastructure Environment dashboard.

The Summary - All VIOS view identifies five servers with the highest processor and memory utilization, and the most or least available storage space, and the most or least network throughput. This view appears in the Selected Service PowerVM view when you select All VIOS in the VIOS view on the left. Use it to quickly locate a VIOS with available resources that can be put to better use in your integrated environment.
