vRops 6 Operational Deep Dive Agenda: Part 1: Sizing HA Backup Upgrade vRops Self Monitoring Load balancing Part 2: Views Symptom Definitions Alerts Policy Workload Placement EP Ops Agent Intergration points Michael Ryom Cloud Architect @ Proact Systems A/S This is my first day at Proact I have been working with VMware products since 2006. Twitter: @MichaelRyom Blog: MichaelRyom.dk Sizing • Use confgured metric or the Excel sizing guide • Audit report • KB2093783 • vRops 6.1 doubles the nodes and scale • Low storage latency • Low network latency • Consider vRops a real time DB – It needs readily access to resources Sizing <vmw:ExtraConfig vmw:key="numa.vcpu.preferHT” ovf:required="false" vmw:value="TRUE"/> • Enable HT ? • Right size ? Context switching (Cache) or memory (local) High Availability • N+1 • 1st node lost = No data loss • 2nd node lost = Data loss • When HA is enabled sizing guide numbers should be halved Backup Snapshot (Quiescing) Backup during ”Dynamic Thresholds” Upgrading vRops 1. Take snapshot (Take Cluster offline, Shutdown Nodes, Snapshot) 2. Upgrade OS 3. Upgrade vRops Upgrading 6.0 to 6.1 - Database changes -> xDB-> Cassandra vRops Self monitoring Load balancing of adaptors Reason for having unbalanced vRops Cluster • More nodes have been deployed • Adaptors have not been distributed • Adaptors, Disk and GemFire in memory DB Views – All versions • Use “object level” metrics • Use “transformation” on metrics • Reports and dashboards are created from views. • If you have vRops standard, views can be exported manually as csv or you can use the API, which is freely available for all version. Symptom Definitions • Demo time Alerts • • • Don't just enable all alerts Enabled those needed Create the alerts you need Policy • • • Setup your policy as needed Use more policies if needed No one size fits all Workload Placement • DEMO TIME HOL-SDC-1602-HOL EP Ops Agent • In guest monitoring • Agent based • Monitors OS metrics • Does remote monitoring Intergration • Log Insight • Management packs • API • SNMP Questions ?
