For example, For Enable Filtering of Non-vCenter Related Objects, click Tre or False. Note Setting the vale to false disables filtering. Yo mst manally remove any resorces that are created de to the lack of filtering from vcenter Operations Manager. Disabling filtering can reslt in vcenter Operations Manager exceeding the maximm nmber of objects it can spport. 9. Create a new credential, or select an existing credential. If yo are creating a new credential, follow these steps. a. Click Add. b. For Credential Kind, select EMC ViPR Credential. c. Type the instance name. For example, ViPRCre. d. Type the EMC ViPR ser name. For example, [email protected]. e. Type the EMC ViPR password. For example, sysadminpassword. f. Click OK. 16 EMC ViPR Analytics Pack for VMware vcenter Operations Management Site Installation and Configration Gide

17 Configration 10.Click OK. After yo finish Once the analytics pack is created, it can take several mintes for the initial data collection to complete. If there is data collected from ViPR, navigate to Environment > Environment Overview to find new resorces. Reconfigring the analytics pack properties Use this procedre to reconfigre the analytic pack properties. Before yo begin Yo mst have administrator access to the vcenter Operations Manager administration console. Procedre 1. Open the vcenter Operations Manager cstom console as an administrator. 2. Click Environment > Configration > Adapter Instances. 3. Choose an adapter from the Adapter Instances list. 4. Click the following icon to edit an adapter instance. 5. Edit the analytic pack instance properties. Table 1 Reconfigrable analytic pack properties Property name Description - - Adapter Instance Name Analytic pack instance name Host Name Enable Filtering ViPR hostname Trn filtering on or off. Filtering is sed to limit the import of resorces from ViPR to the vcenter being monitored by vcenter Operations Manager. Note Setting the vale to false disables filtering. Any resorces that are created de to the lack of filtering mst be removed from vcenter Operations Manager manally. Disabling filtering can reslt in vcenter Operations Manager exceeding the maximm nmber of objects it can spport. Credential ViPR credentials assigned to the analytic pack instance. Changing this property will assign a different set of credentials to the analytic pack instance. 6. (Optional) Click Test to check the connection between the analytic pack instance and ViPR. 7.

20 Dashboards ViPR Capacity dashboard Using the ViPR Capacity dashboard Use the ViPR Capacity dashboard to monitor virtal storage pool capacity and datastore disk sage. The ViPR Capacity dashboard has the following components: Virtal Storage Pool Workload displays the provisioned capacity sed by the datastores Virtal Storage Pool Capacity Remaining displays the free capacity for storage pools Resorce selector sed to search for a specific resorce Stats boards displays varios stats and relationship information for ViPR resorces Clsters in Workload displays the top clsters in disk capacity workload Datastores in Workload displays the top datastores in disk capacity workload Use the ViPR Capacity dashboard to monitor capacity-related data. Below are some common examples for sing the ViPR Capacity dashboard. In this example, a datastore is examined de to a high workload, and mltiple steps are taken to alleviate some of the workload. To do this, a datastore is checked for reclaimable resorces, and then the datastore's storage pools are checked for additional capacity. 1. Examine the top-10 chart in the Datastores in Workload component of the Capacity dashboard to determine which datastore has the highest workload. 2. Type the name of the datastore into the Resorce selector. The datastore is selected and the related resorces from ViPR and vsphere are highlighted on the Stats board. 3. On the Stats board, click Reclaimable Waste view. A green reclaimable waste stats indicates there are little or no reclaimable resorces for this datastore. 4. On the Stats board, click Capacity Remaining view. A green capacity remaining stats indicates the associated virtal storage pool and the related storage pools have capacity remaining and the datastore cold possibly be expanded. In this example, a virtal storage pool is checked for a high workload and reclaimable resorces. 1. Examine the Virtal Storage Pool Workload component of the Capacity dashboard to determine which virtal storage pool has a high workload. 2. Type the name of the virtal storage pool into the Resorce selector. The virtal storage pool is selected and the related resorces from ViPR and vsphere are highlighted on the Stats board. 3. On the Stats board, click Reclaimable Waste view. A yellow reclaimable waste stats indicates more than 75% of the resorces are reclaimable. To reclaim resorces, se vcenter to delete nsed virtal machines or snapshots. 20 EMC ViPR Analytics Pack for VMware vcenter Operations Management Site Installation and Configration Gide

21 Dashboards ViPR Performance dashboard Using the ViPR Performance dashboard ViPR At-A-Glance dashboard Use the ViPR Performance dashboard to monitor storage network and datastore latency performance data. The ViPR Performance dashboard has the following components: Storage Network Workload displays the collected IO tilization for all storage ports in a network Storage Port Workload - displays the IO workload for storage ports Resorce selector sed to search for a specific resorce Stats boards displays varios stats and relationship information for ViPR resorces Datastores with highest IO workload displays the top datastores with the highest IO workload Datastores with highest read latency displays the top datastores with the highest read latency Datastores with highest write latency displays the top datastores with the highest write latency Use the ViPR Performance dashboard to monitor performance-related data. Below is a common example for sing the ViPR Performance dashboard. In this example, a datastore is examined de to a high latency, and mltiple steps are taken to find the case of the high latency. To do this, the traffic workload of the storage port and the volmes are checked to determine the case of the high latency. 1. Examine the top-5 chart in the Datastores with highest IO workload and the Datastores with highest read latency components of the Performance dashboard to determine if any datastore has high latency problems. 2. Type the name of the datastore into the Resorce selector. The datastore is selected and the related resorces from ViPR and vsphere are highlighted on the Stats board. The Stats board allows yo to examine the traffic workload of the storage port and the volmes for this datastore. 3. On the Stats board, doble-click a volme or storage port to open the Resorce Details view which displays additional performance data yo can se for trobleshooting a bsy storage port or volme. Use the ViPR At-A-Glance dashboard to monitor performance and capacity data from a single dashboard. The ViPR At-A-Glance dashboard has the following components: Capacity Stats Monitoring combines the Virtal Storage Pool Workload, Virtal Storage Pool Capacity Remaining, and Clsters in Workload components to create a single dashboard for monitoring capacity stats. Performance Stats Monitoring combines the Storage Network Workload, Storage Port Workload, and Datastores with highest latency components to create a single dashboard for monitoring performance stats.

Note The thresholds for each stats board are configrable. Table 2 Dashboard view stats board vales and thresholds Stats Board Vale Vale description Defalt thresholds EMC ViPR Capacity View Workload vales Reclaimable waste vales Capacity remaining vales The color indicates the level of sed capacity compared to the provisioned capacity. For example, a red capacity workload stats indicates the sed capacity level is high. The color indicates the level of reclaimable waste. For example, a red reclaimable waste stats indicates there is a high nmber of reclaimable resorces for the datastore. The color indicates the level of capacity remaining. For example, a green capacity remaining stats indicates the associated virtal storage pool and the related storage pools have capacity remaining and the datastore cold possibly be expanded. Green nder 75% Yellow 75% to 90% Orange 90% to 95% Red above 95% Green nder 75% Yellow 75% to 90% Orange 90% to 95% Red above 95% Green above 25% Yellow 10% to 25% Orange 5% to 10% Red nder 5% EMC ViPR Performance View Workload vales The color indicates the level of IO tilization. For example, a red performance workload stats indicates the IO tilization level is high.
