Today VMware released a new vRealize Operations Management Pack that support VSAN 6.0, version 6.0.2. The latest management pack introduces a new set of dashboards that gives users a centralized location that provides global visibility into all aspects of VSAN 6.0.
The new storage management pack introduces five new dashboards into the vRealize Operations Manager UI. These new dashboards give users global visibility across their VSAN clusters. Users can monitor multiple VSAN clusters in order to troubleshoot and gain insights. This also points to device failures or connectivity issues and can send proactive notifications. The dashboards also give users the ability to monitor performance and capacity
The management pack is designed to work with VSAN but it can be used to monitor other components of a storage area network. The administrator using vRealize Operations Management Pack will be able to pick up on issues occurring on other physical devices or network connections.
The five dashboards are:
- Virtual SAN 6 Troubleshooting – this view provides an end-to-end storage topology, health, and alerts for clusters host systems, virtual machine, disk groups, solid state devices, magnetic disks and ESX physical network interfaces.
- Virtual SAN 6 Heatmap – this view provides an overview of object performance against its predefined limits. For example, this dashboard can identify whenever hosts are reaching the maximum Virtual SAN component count.
- Virtual SAN 6 Entity Usage – this view provides an overview of the most frequently used objects (top 25) on the storage network and tracks the error count for throughput, read and write latency, on host adapters, SSD and magnetic disk objects.
- Virtual SAN 6 Device Insights – this view provides insights into device level details including capacity, usage, and errors of devices used by Virtual SAN.
- Virtual SAN 6 Cluster Insights – This view provides insights into the cluster level details for disk groups and Virtual SAN datastores.
