1. PurposeThe Blue Medora VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) Management Pack for VCE Vblock User Guide describes the primary features of the Management Pack, including dashboards, alerts, and metrics that allow users to optimize the monitoring of Vblock converged infrastructure system resources from within vRealize Operations.

2. Introduction to the Management PackThe Management Pack discovers and monitors Vblock system hardware components through the VCE Vision Intelligent Operations management software. It collects component metric data, including health, operability, and resource availability. Custom dashboards in VMware vRealize Operations Manager show health scores, operability statuses, and resource availability.

This section includes the following topics:• How the Management Pack Collects Data• Data the Management Pack Collects

2.1 How the Management Pack Collects Data2.1.1 Adapter processesThe Adapter uses the following processes to collect metric data from Vblock system components:

DescribeThis process determines the types of resources to import and the set of metrics to collect from each type of resource. This process runs automatically during adapter deployment.

Auto-discoveryThis process identifies Vblock system resources. The Adapter queries the Vblock system and retrieves a list of the monitored components, or resources. After the query is complete, new resources are created in vRealize Operations Manager and metric data is collected. This is the default method for collecting Vblock system resource information.

Manual discoveryThe Adapter can monitor components that are manually discovered and added by users. Use the Resource Discovery option in vRealize Operations Manager to manually add Vblock system resources. Manual discovery can be useful if you wish to only monitor a subset of Vblock system components.

Collection intervalThe Adapter uses System Library to discover and query resources. Adapter resource data collection occurs every five minutes by default. System Library’s collection interval is fifteen minutes. Because System Library’s collection interval is less frequent than the Adapter’s, not every Adapter data collection cycle will have updated metric values. You can set the Adapter collection interval equal to or less frequent than the System Library collection interval. See “5.3 Changing the Adapter collection interval (optional)” in the accompanying Installation & Configuration Guide for instructions to change the Adapter collection interval.

3. DashboardsDashboards are the primary user interface that allow users to monitor Vblock system resources from within vRealize Operations.

The following dashboards are added to vRealize Operations Manager when the Adapter is installed:

• Vision Overview: Environmental overview of Vblock System. • Vision Compute Overview: Overview of Vblock Compute Environment. • Vision Network Overview: Overview of Vblock Network Environment. • Vision Storage Overview: Overview of Vblock Storage System. • Vision Metrics: A consolidated view of Vblock System objects metrics. • Vision HeatMaps: Displays Vblock System health scores using the HeatMap widget. • Vision Inventory: A full inventory of Vblock System objects with associated relationships in a tree format using the Health Tree widget. • Vision Alerts: Displays all the operational alerts from Vblock System objects. • Vision Alert Topology: Displays the topology (relationship) of an affected object from a selected alert.

3.1 Widget OverviewVision System component dashboards use widgets to show the health of compute, storage, and network components. Dashboard widgets can be connected to multiple Vblock Systems. The Vblock Resources widget shows all Vblock Systems. Vblock Systems selected in the Vision Resources widget are shown in the Health Tree. Components selected in the Health Tree are shown in the Alerts, Metric Selector, and Metric Sparklines widgets.

3.1.1 Resources WidgetThe Resources Widget lists all Vblock Systems discovered by all Adapter instances. It is configured to show all components in a Vblock System, such as compute, network, and storage. The widget shows the current health score for all discovered Vblock System component groups. Resource health scores are determined by comparing current metric values to reference values. vRealize Operations Manager determines a metric’s reference value by combining values observed over time with predefined hard thresholds.

4.2 AlertsThe Adapter creates alerts corresponding to events received from System Library and the VCE Vision™ Compliance Checker. The Adapter can only receive System Library and Compliance Checker events and create alerts for resources that are monitored by vRealize Operations Manager.

System Library events originate at the individual resource level. Individual resources are, for example, compute servers or power supply units. System Library events can be unrelated to adapter metrics. Event messages can range from simple informational details about the resource to a possible critical issue.

Compliance Checker events relay compliance report results, which include information about Vblock System resources. Compliance Checker events only generate alerts if you subscribe to System Library events when you add an Adapter instance.

Event severity and frequency are used to determine whether or not to send a health alert. Alerts have five severity levels: • Critical • Major • Warning • Degraded • Minor • Operable

Table 2: Alert Severity Levels, Possible Causes, and Required Actions

ALERT LEVEL POSSIBLE CAUSE ACTION REQUIRED

CRITICAL A serious or fatal issue detected with a component of the Vblock System. A component could be inoperable or a part may have failed. Any single component in this state causes the state of the entire Vblock System to become critical.

Immediate attention is required.

MAJOR There is a major issue with at least one of the major components of the Vblock System. The Vblock System might be at serious risk if another failure is detected on a component of the Vblock System. Assuming nothing is critical, any component in this state results in the Vblock System being declared in a major state.

Attention is seriously advised.

DEGRADED At least one of the Vblock System components is currently detected as degraded.

Some troubleshooting isrecommended.

MINOR A non-normal issue of some sort has been detected in one of the components of the Vblock System. When any component is in any other state than operable, it will cause at least the minor state to occur. This state can occur only if critical, major, or degraded states are not detected.

Attention is expected soon.

OPERABLE The Vblock System is working as it should. There are no detected issues with any of the compute, storage, or network components. All components must be operable for the Vblock System to have this state.

None

NOTE: Alerts have types in addition to severity levels. Refer to the vRealize Operations Manager online help for a list of alert types.

4.3 Health scoresHealth scores are calculated by vRealize Operations Manager. The type of information that each component reports through its interface determines health scores. Each component in a Vblock system reports an operationStatus.

System Library creates a calculatedStatus based on the operationStatus and a set of VCE-defined best practices. The calculatedStatus provides an assessment of the impact the operationStatus has on the overall system health.

The following table provides descriptions of how compute, network, storage, and management components are monitored to determine health scores.

Table 3: Component Health Scores

MAJOR COMPONENT SUBCOMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

Compute Cisco C-Series serversCisco B-Series serversFabric Interconnects

The overall status of each compute server is based on the server’s response to adapter queries. A compute server’s health is determined by measuring the availability of the responding agent on the server.

Network Catalyst switchesNexus switchesNexus 1000vMDS switches

Ethernet ports, stack ports, fan trays, and power supplies are monitored to determine network health.

Storage VNX (unified and block-only)VNXeVMAX (including the optionalVNX VG2 Gateway and VNXVG8 Gateway)VPLEX

The status of the array as a whole is reported. For example, some arrays provide an overall health status indicator that the adapter collects regularly and uses as the array’s overall status.
