2. April 2008 2HP TOI Template — RPM Product Overview Features, functions, and benefits –Real-Time Process Monitor - RPM –Discovers busy activity by Cpu, Node, or Cluster –Finds busy processes in Cpu, Node, or Cluster in seconds –Command line configurable, can run from TACL prompt –Fast startup, samples, displays, < 1 second, low-overhead –By Cpu displays busiest processes in a particular Cpu –By Node displays busiest processes in a particular Node –“Add Node” command allows viewing many nodes at once –Results sorted, filtered, color-encoded in real-time. –Addresses wide variety of interfaces and configurations.

3. April 2008 3HP TOI Template — RPM Product Overview Features, Functions, Benefits Simple to install, setup, and config via RPM wizard Understands both NSK and OSS processes Multiple Interfaces – TTY – dumb terminal allows output to files/smart-clients – VT100 – supports super-size 200x300, ANSI color-coding – T6530 – supports legacy users – Fat clients* – Thin clients* * Fat/Thin capabilities have been prototyped, but are not part of core product at present. Such functions could be a potential future feature, but are unreleased awaiting better understanding whether they would really be useful. Beta feedback was that fat/thin clients were not needed.

8. April 2008 8HP TOI Template — RPM Architecture Architecture RPM CIs communicate across nodes peer-to- peer Each RPM discovers busy Cpus & Processes in its node and communicates peer-to-peer with other RPM CIs on other ADD \ Benefits –Infinitely scalable –No matter how many nodes –Load evenly distributed \A RPM \B RPM \C RPM RPMCNF ADD \A ADD \B ADD \C

9. April 2008 9HP TOI Template — SSG RPM Architecture - Components Architecture RPM CIs communicate peer-to-peer via SSG Each CI discovers busy Cpus/Processes in it’s node and communicates peer-to-peer via SSG with peer RPM CIs on other nodes. ADD is node list Benefit is that load is evenly distributed and version independent no matter how many nodes Infinitely scalable. \A RPM \B RPM \C RPM SSG

10. April 2008 10HP TOI Template — RPM Architecture - Components Component functions –RPM architecture is peer-to-peer CI –Simple easy to understand architecture –Only one object component, that’s RPM CI

11. April 2008 11HP TOI Template — RPM Architecture and Components External dependencies –RPM requires any version of SSG –SSG is standard on all SUTs –SSG is always installed on $System.System

12. April 2008 12HP TOI Template — RPM Architecture and Components Files and tables –RPM is a Real-time Process Monitor with data in memory –No disk files/tables used except for RPM* startup config file RpmCnf – TTY executed when RPM object runs RpmVTCnf – VT100 executed when RPMVT object runs Rpm65Cnf - T6530 executed when RPM65 object runs –Config files maintained manually or by RPM wizard –Config files just contain startup commands (see next slide)
