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

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.
vCenter Operations Manager Distribution• Distributed as a Single vApp (OVA)
• OVA comprised of Two VMs– UI VM
• vSphere Web Client• vCenter Operations Administration Portal
– Analytics VM• Collects and Stores Data• Capacity and Performance Analytics
• Three Deployment Models:

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

Integrated Interface
DefiningDynamic ThresholdsIntelligent Operations Groups Custom Policies
Dynamic vs. Static Thresholds
22
Learned Dynamic Threshold
CPU Spike within Dynamic Threshold not a concern
CPU Spike outside Dynamic Threshold indicates abnormal behavior
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!
23
Groups & Policies
DEFAULT POLICY• Overcommit = Yes• High Availability = Yes• Idle VMs = 90%• Alerts = Yes
PROD TEST DEV
24
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

Summary of alerts, but how do I troubleshoot?
How do I fix?

Future:• Define your own symptoms
and alerts• Include recommendations• Built in “actions”
Custom Alert!

Alert triggers when:
• DRS is not enabled
- And-
• Host in cluster has high CPU load

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
