5.2 vRealize Operations Manager and Storage Devices (Including VMware vSAN)
The vRealize Operations Management Pack for Storage Devices provides a complete view of the entire storage topology, including hosts, storage network, and storage array. vRealize Operations Manager can be used to monitor and troubleshoot capacity and performance problems on different components of a storage area network.
This solution provides the following capabilities:
• An end-to-end view of topology, statistics, and events at every affected level of the storage area network
• Isolation of problems caused by elements in the physical storage stack, such as the host bus adapter (HBA), storage switches, or array
• Capture and analysis of information on throughput and latency for the HBA and mount objects
• Capture of throughput on the switch ports.
• Capture of IOPS and queue depth at the HBA and switch ports for read and write components
• Storage device discovery and data collection
• Use of the Common Information Model (CIM) to exchange information with objects managed by the following fabric management systems:
o Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM)
o Brocade Network Advisor (BNA)
