What’s
New for Customers Migrating from HP-UX 11i v2 June 2006?

version number to include defect fixes.
Impact |
|
When Utilization Provider is installed, it launches the utild daemon, which consumes minimal CPU, memory, and disk
resources. Only 30 days of utilization data are kept in data files
in /var/adm/util. The total disk space used by these files should not
exceed 5MB in the default utild installation.
The Virtual Server Environment (VSE) Management Software,
running on an HP Systems Insight Manager Central Management Server,
requires the Utilization Provider to be running on all managed systems.
If the Utilization Provider is removed, the system cannot be managed
by the VSE Management Software.
Compatibility |
|
This version of the Utilization Provider depends on HP WBEM
Services for HP-UX version A.02.05 or later.
Performance |
|
The utild process wakes up every 5 minutes and discovers and records
the four utilization metrics (CPU, memory, disk, and network). This
discovery has minimal impact on system performance.
Documentation |
|
The utild daemon is described in the utild(1M) manpage. WBEM schema (MOF
files) are installed in
/opt/util/mof
