VMworld 2014: vSphere with Operation Management
0 likes1,302 views
VMware vSphere with Operations Management provides monitoring of vSphere environments through vCenter Operations Manager. It offers real-time visibility into performance and health, dynamic thresholds using self-learning analytics, and integrated alerts. It also enables capacity management through "what if" planning and efficiency optimization. The tool is licensed as an add-on and provides dashboards, reports, and integration with the vSphere web client.

- 8. How is vSphere with Operations Management Licensed? • Single License Key to Enable Both vSphere and vCenter Operations – Licensed from within vCenter Server – Per-processor – No Restrictions on Physical Cores, Physical RAM or # of VMs • Licensing, Pricing and Packaging Guide – vmware.com/go/vsom-licensing 8

Moving from vSphere to vSphere with Operations Management 9 4 East Steps to Add Operations Management to Your Existing vSphere Deployment 1 Add License 2 Configure Network Settings 3 Deploy vApp 4 Register with vCenter Server(s) Once deployed allow time for the analytics to learn the environment. – Immediate = Health and Performance – 1 Week = Waste and Density – 1 Month = Capacity The longer vCenter Operations Manager runs, the more accurate the data will be.

- 14. Why Add “Operations Management”? vSphere (vCenter + ESXi) • Limited visibility & notification • Per Host / Per VM vSphere with Operations Management (vSOM) • Holistic visibility • Dynamic thresholds w/ smart alerts • History & trends • Capacity planning • Utilization & efficiency 14

- 16. Health, Risk & Efficiency • Real-time visibility • Self learning analytics / dynamic thresholds • Integrated smart alerts Health • How much time/capacity do I have left? • “What If” capacity planning Risk • Identify over provisioned resources • VM to Host consolidation ratios Efficiency HEALTHHEALTH RISKRISK EFFICIENCYEFFICIENCY 16

- 19. Defining Dynamic Thresholds Intelligent Operations Groups Custom Policies
- 20. Dynamic vs. Static Thresholds 20 Learned Dynamic Threshold CPU Spike within Dynamic Threshold not a concern CPU Spike outside Dynamic Threshold indicates abnormal behavior
- 21. Not All Objects Are Equal • Policies define: • Badge Threshold Settings • Usable vs. Physical Capacity • Overcommit Settings • Over/Undersized Calculations • When to send alerts • Different workloads require different policies – Production, test, dev, batch, etc. • After install, default policy used for all objects • Important: Group objects by workload and associate an appropriate policy! 21
- 22. Groups & Policies DEFAULT POLICY • Overcommit = Yes • High Availability = Yes • Idle VMs = 90% • Alerts = Yes PROD TEST DEV 22
- 23. Groups & Policies TEST-GRP DEV-GRPPROD-GRP PROD-POLICY • Overcommit = No • HA = Yes • Idle = 90% • Alerts = Yes TEST-POLICY • Overcommit = Yes • HA = No • Idle = 50% • Alerts = No DEV-POLICY • Overcommit = Yes • HA = No • Idle = 95% • Alerts = No • Customize operational view of infra to specific business needs (App, LOB) • Intelligent alerts and thresholds based on group management policies 23
- 25. 25 Summary of alerts, but how do I troubleshoot? How do I fix?
- 26. 26 Future: • Define your own symptoms and alerts • Include recommendations • Built in “actions”

- 39. Summary • Health Monitoring and Performance Analytics – Real-time visibility into your vSphere Infrastructure – Self learning analytics and dynamic thresholds that learn and adapt to your environment – Integrated smart alerts help to identify building problems and proactively address issues before they affect end users • Operations Dashboards with root cause analysis – Easy to use dashboards – Monitoring data abstracted into health, risk and efficiency • Capacity Management and Optimization – Identify overprovisioned and under provisioned resources – “What If” capacity planning • Integrated with the vSphere Web Client VMware vSphere with Operations Management 39
