5.1 vRealize Operations Manager and VMware NSX
VMware NSX has different use case scenarios in a VMware Cloud Provider environment. The primary focus for the VMware NSX Management Pack is for internal use of the service provider. Exposure to a tenant/customer is not expected.
The VMware NSX Management Pack provides the operations team with a variety of additional information about different problem areas:
• Configuration errors
o NTP server configuration mismatch across hypervisors and VMware NSX components
o VLAN, MTU, and teaming configuration issues across physical and virtual switches
o VM gateway and IP configuration issues
• Failures and capacity issues
o VMware NSX component failures
o System events from the VMware NSX components
o CPU, memory, and network resource utilization above thresholds
• Connectivity issues
o Failures of physical links of a hypervisor or appliance
o Failure of communication channels between the VMware NSX components
o Communication issues across a logical network
The management pack is built on top of the vRealize Operations Manager relationship model and uses analytics and dynamic thresholds to provide better data insights.
