vsphere with Operations Management Introduction CONFIDENTIAL 3

What is vsphere with Operations Management? vsphere vc Ops VSOM Standard Enterprise Enterprise + Standard Advanced Enterprise vsphere* + vc Ops Standard Operations Dashboard Health Monitoring Capacity Planning Efficiency Optimization

How is vsphere with Operations Management Licensed? Single license key to enable both vsphere and vc Ops License at vcenter Server Per-processor No restrictions on physical cores, physical RAM, # of VMs Licensing, Pricing and Packaging Guide http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf

vcenter Operations Manager Overview

Comprehensive Operations Dashboard Operations Efficiency and Risk Immediate problems What is happening right now? What do I need to pay attention to? Forward Looking Are there areas that I should be concerned about? Am I utilizing resources in the most efficient manner? Are there compliance risks? 7

Scenarios Performance Issue Caused by Change Capacity Analysis and What If Modeling Efficiency Optimization Opportunities

Performance Issue Caused by Change Search for VM World view Things are healthy A little bit of risk Pretty efficient 9

Performance Issue Caused by Change (cont.) Health is yellow Click with recent drop Risk is also high Tree expanded

Performance Issue Caused by Change (cont.) Workload view CPU bound Recent drop in performance Corresponding rise in anomalies

Performance Issue Caused by Change (cont.) CPU bound Anomalies CPU Demand > CPU Usage

Performance Issue Caused by Change (cont.) Go to Events Recent spike in anomalies Ready Time up Throttling up Active CPU down.

Performance Issue Caused by Change (cont.) History of anomalies Event Overlay Root cause: CPU limit set on the VM

Scenarios Performance Issue Caused by Change Capacity Analysis and What If Modeling Efficiency Optimization Opportunities

Capacity Planning Select Mgmnt_Infra Cluster No immediate issues Risk is high Expand to see why 16

Capacity Planning (cont.) Time remaining is 0 Click badge for more details Capacity remaining is 0 (over provisioned by 6 VMs) 17

Capacity Planning (cont.) Virtual Machine Capacity Capacity and Time Remaining What-If Planning 18

Capacity Planning (cont.) 19

Capacity Planning (cont.) Actual Capacity Capacity after adding 2 additional hosts Scenario saved 20

Capacity Planning (cont.) 1 st Change 2nd Change Ability to compare or combine scenarios 21

Capacity Planning (cont.) Capacity after adding 2 additional hosts and 2 additional VMs Combine the scenarios 22

Scenarios Performance Issue Caused by Change Capacity Analysis and What If Modeling Efficiency Optimization Opportunities

Efficiency and Optimization Click Select Mgmnt_BCA Cluster 24

Efficiency and Optimization (cont.) Idle, Oversized, Powered Off Current configuration along with recommended configuration 25

Efficiency and Optimization (cont.) Generate Reports (CSV and PDF format) 26

Configuration and Planning Proactive Smart Alerts Flexible Operations Policies Intelligent Operations Groups Automated Workflows (vco Integration)

Proactive Smart Alerts Administrative Alerts Alert Volume Chart graphical representation of alerts over past 7 days Color coded to indicate severity Suppress/Suspend, sort, filter and search Alerts Fault Alerts Badge Score Alerts based on Dynamic Thresholds

Proactive Smart Alerts Configurable for each policy Health Risk Efficiency

Flexible Operations Policies Out of box policies for different types of workloads Associate policies with different with different groups Choose from list of preset policies Badge thresholds Capacity and time remaining Powered off / idle VMs Oversized / undersized VMs Stress thresholds Configure alerts

Intelligent Operations Groups Custom view based on specific business needs Alerts/Thresholds based on assigned policies Static and Dynamic Membership Create, Edit, Delete, Update Manage Policy

Intelligent Operations Groups Filtered views Groups automatically created for vcenter folders (cannot edit/delete)

Automated Workflow Triggers Use vc Ops Alerts to Trigger vco Workflows A capacity alert Workflow in to delete vcenter Operations powered off VMs and VM triggers a vcenter snapshots to resolve Orchestrator capacity issue workflow Prepare report and send email notification

vsphere Web Client Integration

Getting Started Deploying vsphere with Operations Management (VSOM)

Moving from vsphere to vsphere with Operations Management 4 easy steps to add Operations Management to your existing vsphere deployment 1 2 3 4 Create IP Register Add License Deploy vapp Pool with vcenter 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 vc Ops runs, the more accurate the data will be 39

vcenter Operations Manager vapp Distributed as a single vapp (OVA) OVA comprised of two VMs UI VM vsphere Web Client vc Ops Administration Portal Analytics VM Collects and stores data Capacity and performance analytics Three deployment models: Small Medium Large CONFIDENTIAL 40

Deployment Recommendations Use Eger Thick NTP Enable DRS CONFIDENTIAL 41

Download the Binaries. vsphere With Operations Management

Summary vsphere with Operations Management (VSOM)Provides: 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 Easy to setup and install CONFIDENTIAL 48
