Introduction

Monitoring virtual environments

Why?

• Ensure availability, capacity and response

time

• Avoid performance bottlenecks

• Quickly respond to faults

How?

• End to end monitoring

• Proactive problem identification

• Across multiple hypervisor platforms

Performance Graphs

Key metrics to watch

• Host Memory Utilization Baseline

• Guest Memory Utilization

• Host Memory Utilization

• CPU Ready Utilization

• CPU Entitlement Utilization Baseline

• Host CPU Utilization – Hypervisor

• Host – Inward/ Outward data (MB)

• CPU Utilization across Hosts, Resource

Pools, Guests

• Disk Throughput, disk latency

• VMFS Utilization



18

Trends and Performance

Reporting

Visibility to Resource pool

usage and cluster inventory

• Resource Pool utilization to monitor

‘department/team’ level usage

• Cluster level utilization, inventory

− Use ‘SM Virtualization VMware

Cluster Inventory’ and drill-down

into systems

− Use drill-down and get into “Node

inventory”

• Top-10 and Bottom-10 performers

HP OM, vMA appliance

OM server, OM agents deployment

• Fit a vMA per blade-server enclosure

(1:500 monitored ‘instances’)

• Pre-build* vMA with operations11.x agent (‘defer-config’)

* vMA does not support cloning. However, procedure is available to get past this.

Deploy

http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/01/cloning-vma-still-not-supported.html



23

OM Setup

Best practice blueprint

• Software Matrix

− OA 11.0x,11.10 on vMA 4.1/5.01

− VISPI 2.01

− OM 9+

• Size vMA according to needs – min. 2gb RAM

• Run vMA in a separate set of servers/blades with HA/FT

• Do regular backups of vMA

• Enable root login to vMA (for running ‘fsck’)

• Operational monitoring of vMA health

− Agent/Collector status

• VI-PerfAgentProcessMonitor

• VI-VMwareVifpTargetCheck

− Disk space, Memory usage

• SI-DiskCapacityMonitor

• SI-MemoryBottleneckDiagnosis

− Logs to monitor

• /var/opt/perf/status.*

Operations Orchestration

Action for SiteScope

automation

Virtual Workload monitoring (1)

Automate SiteScope

Create templates for your canned

monitoring services

• E.g. OS, Database, web-app

Manage lifecycle (Deploy/Delete)

• SOAP Web service, or

• HP Operations Orchestration action



26

Virtual Workload monitoring (2)

Automate HP OM & SPI

Prep VM Templ.1Prod. OM ServerCreate package

• Install SPIs (HP, 3rd

party, custom) on Dev

OM Server

• Select subset of

policies

• Customize, test,

extend

• Export signed polices

and instrumentation

from Dev-OM Server:

• opctmpldwn/

opcinstrumdwn

• Directory structure with

signed polices will we

created

• Optionally, create

profile when special

agent settings

• Export policies from

Dev and import into

production OM Server

(for instructions, etc)

• Export the trusted

certificate from Dev-

OM and add (import) it

to the trusted root

certificates on the

Production OM Server

• Setup/configure auto

granting

• Install HP agent with -

def_configure

• Copy exported policies

& instrumentation on

agent

• Copy instrumentation

into right/final directory

• Create custom script

for VM Templates

startup

• Define/set your out

“nearest/available” OM

Server

• Connect agent to OM

Server: oasetup –

configure

• Agent installed

certificates.

• Import polices with

ovpolicy -install

Select policies VM start-up

Scenario: Embedded monitoring

• Install HP-OM agent & SPIs in VM Templates

• Use a test/development HP-OM Server
