15. Management Hardware Management

16. OpenManage components: –IT Administrator – web-based mgmt console –Server Administrator – agents installed in the COS –Remote Access Controller – remote installation of ESX –Integrations to many ESMs Features include: –Hardware fault monitoring – SNMP, email, console alerts –Inventory and asset monitoring ESX Server 2.5.x supports version 4.5 OpenManage provides information about hardware that is assigned to or shared with the service console

18. HP SIM provides information about hardware that is assigned to or shared with the service console: –View system board configuration –View file system usage –Check hardware status –View CPU utilization –Perform automatic recovery of system Virtual Machine Management (VMM) Pack adds: –Monitor/manage VMware ESX and GSX (Windows only) and MSVS –Deploy and Manage VMs –Live Move using VirtualCenter –VMM agent is installed in the COS (also collects SNMP traps) Server Migration Pack (SMP) adds: –P2V, V2V, and V2P

20. Integrate physical and virtual systems management by extending IBM Director: –Correlate relationships between physical and virtual objects SDK-based integration, can use VirtualCenter Agent installs in the COS Virtual Machine, Virtual Farm & Physical Host Monitor & manage GSX and ESX –Status/management of physical hosts and virtual machines Present visual cues and log events as they occur on the physical host or virtual machine Enable Start/Shutdown/Suspend/Resume/Restart of Virtual Machines Provide (with VMware) the ability to manually or automatically move running virtual machines between 2 physical hosts in the same Virtual Farm Drive VMotion and power control through hardware health events Ease-of-administration and self-healing of ESX Server environments –“Single pane of glass management” of virtual / physical machines Integration point for VMware VirtualCenter and IBM Director

Tivoli Monitoring for Virtual Servers 6.1 –Discovery of resources –Monitoring – resource models for availability and performance Preconfigured and customizable models Built-in problem determination –Event management – forward to Tivoli Enterprise Console –Operations management – Start, Stop, Discover, Manage Logs –Data gathering and reporting – host and guests –Supports ESX 2.1.2, 2.5.x TMVS uses Perl API and SNMP

30. nworks –The nworks VMware® Events Management Pack extends the reach of Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 into the world of ESX Server™ without adding any software to your ESX Servers. The nworks VMware Events MP is a completely distributed ESX Server and VirtualCenter event monitoring solution for MOM 2005. The nworks VMware Events MP provides event, availability, and performance data to lower VMware ESX Server virtual infrastructure costs while increasing server availability. Virtugo Connect for Microsoft Operations Manager –"...extends Microsoft TM Operations Manager (MOM) management into the Linux, UNIX, NT4 and VMware platforms by providing system discovery, performance, alerting and monitoring“ –Supports ESX (Beta is expected late January 2006 ) Opalis Robot CAP for VMware –More of an automation manager than an event handler –"... allows GSX Server administrators to automatically stop, start, create, and remove virtual servers as part of their automated maintenance procedures." Requires Opalis CAP for MOM for full integration –Supports ESX, GSX

33. Management ChargeBack

34. The Provment Solution Provment System is the only IT chargeback system that correctly handles the dynamic aspects of virtualized environments.

35. Provment System – VMware Technical Overview Installed Capacity (RU) is calculated by a modified Provment Agent. The agent by-passes VMware HW virtualization thus giving a RU number reflecting the total capacity of the machine. VMware ESX server 8 CPU:s 16 GB RAM Totally installed capacity (RU): 1200 Totally used capacity (RU): 400 Used RU:s is split between the Virtual servers according to their CPU usage.
