1 CA Virtual Assurance/ Systems Performance for IM r12 DACHSUG 2011

2 Happy Birthday Spectrum! On this day, exactly 20 years ago (4/15/1991) Spectrum was officially considered meant - 2 CA Virtual Assurance & CA Virtual Assurance for IM Overview Copyright 2010 CA

3 3 CA Virtual Assurance & CA Virtual Assurance for IM Overview Copyright 2010 CA

4 Why Combine Network & Systems Management? Discover, monitor and manage physical, virtual and cluster server environments from one manager Correlate all your events from your complete IT-infrastructure Aggregate event and performance data across the enterprise while allowing drill down into specific details Improve product usability and time-to-value Much less rules-writing cuts operational costs Significant improvement in service-delivery

5 The Challenge of Management Domains Current situation within most companies Network Management Domain Systems Management Domain

6 The Challenge of Management Domains 1 DOWN DEVICE ALERT 3 DOWN DEVICE ALERTS CA Spectrum IM / CA ehealth PM 4 Service Desk tickets-> 1 Network Management Domain Systems Management Domain

7 Integrated Network & Systems Management Reference Architecture CA Spectrum IM & CA ehealth PM Fault, Performance and Availability Information Integrated Systems Management Platforms CA ehealth SystemEDGE CA NSM Agents RFC 2790 Agents Operating Systems SNMP Hardware Vendor Agents Leverage your existing investment Expand RCA across network and systems environments Consolidate events and alarms into a single console

8 Integrated Systems Management Hardware and OS Vendor Agents Supported platforms HP Systems Insight Manager Dell OpenManage Sun Management Center IBM Director Agent Net-SNMP Fuijitu ServerView Hardware monitoring capabilities not available through SNMP Eliminates administration of another management console Supports discovery, reporting and performance management

9 CA Systems Management Multi-vendor and Integrated Approach Multi-vendor approach leverages customers existing investments (SystemEDGE) for: Systems Monitoring Process Monitoring Log File Monitoring Response Time Testing Voice Quality Monitoring Database Performance Monitoring Virtual Performance Management

10 Inductive modelling

11 Service Manager Solution and Benefits Automatic prioritization based on business impact IT focuses on issues based on business and customer impact Allows higher quality service delivery

12 SystemEDGE core features Conditional action execution, agent side monitoring Extensible MIB (scripting) Automatic deployment to Windows systems Support for almost all common OS and platforms MS Windows, Linux, zlinux, HP-UX, Solaris, AIX, DU (Tru64) SNMPv1, SNMPv2, SNMPv3, IPv4, IPv6 enabled 12 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers.

15 VirtualCenter management powerful views VMware Center topology is shown with customized views depending on context. Here we are at the top level container above all VirtualCenters 15 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers. Copyright 2010 CA. All rights reserved.

16 VirtualCenter management At the Virtual Center level. It can also be seen how state is propagated up the tree Highly graphical views make it easy to see the overall state of the Virtualized environment 16 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers. Copyright 2010 CA. All rights reserved.

17 Virtual Center management customizable Thresholds can easily be customized from within the UI, even within the Summary views 17 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers. Copyright 2010 CA. All rights reserved.

18 VirtualCenter management perform actions Actions on the Virtual environment can be performed from within the UI. For example, Power On, Power Off, Suspend, etc. In this example Migration, or vmotion is selected 18 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers. Copyright 2010 CA. All rights reserved.

19 remote deployment scalable & controlled deployments Scalability is provided using a back-end tiered architecture using Distribution Servers. There may be several Distribution Servers to help load balance deployments to hundreds of machines A job may be started immediately or scheduled. The third option is to stagger the deployment. With this option the deployments are spread across the period thereby balancing network load over time 19 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers. Copyright 2010 CA. All rights reserved.

21 policy based configuration templates All the different types of monitor supported by SystemEdge are supported and configurable Monitoring templates may be created to create monitoring defaults for specific areas of functionality for the servers being monitored. Multiple templates then may be imported into a policy 21 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers. Copyright 2010 CA. All rights reserved.

22 Policy Based Configuration Select the Process Tab Click + to create a new process Monitor Update Monitor and Click save Object instance = notepad Threshold Configuration = Warning Alarm 22 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers. Copyright 2010 CA. All rights reserved.

23 Example Monitor Log File In this example we are monitoring the file c:\test.log and checking for the As you can see from this screen the Match count increments whenever the string is matched in the file 23 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers. Copyright 2010 CA. All rights reserved.

28 systems monitoring remote monitoring seamless integration Remote Configuration has several options to add systems and define the configuration to be applied In this simple environment, a single machine has been added to be remotely monitored When viewing the Summary of the remotely monitored machine, the look and feel is the same as one with a deployed SystemEDGE agent 28 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers.

29 Architecture Deployment components Uses proven Systems Performance Domain & Distribution Server Deployment functionality provided via plug-ins 29 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers. Copyright 2010 CA. All rights reserved.

30 Sizing Considerations Number of software packages to deliver Frequency of software package delivery Network latency between manager and targets Network bandwidth management Under ideal conditions, it should be possible to install of the order of SystemEDGE packages per hour from a single distribution server. Recommendations Ensure that targets typically meet the requirements for deploying software remotely. A single distribution server should be able to handle 500 target machines comfortably. Install additional distribution Servers local to the target location. Deploy using distribution servers that are local to targets if possible. Schedule deployments to start during periods of low network traffic if possible Note: The initial deployment to a target will install a small installation agent (IDPrimer). Once this is installed, subsequent deployments to the same target should take less time. 30 CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers. Copyright 2010 CA. All rights reserved.
