We have servers that run a proprietary software. At least once a week, one of these applications goes haywire and takes up 99% of the CPU on the VM. Dev aren't going to fix it anytime soon. I tried to tell it to reboot the server via WMI/SNMP but it doesn't work. I'm assuming because of the CPU being locked up. This will…
This is the fourth post of my series on hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) architectural design and decision-making. For my money, the differences between these diverse systems is a function of the storage involved in the design. On the compute side, these environments use x86 and a hypervisor to create a cluster of hosts…
Hi All, Need some assistance. We have been requested to check the parameters that can monitored in Solarwinds for vSAN? This could mean both network part, storage and at virtualization level. I have mentioned the expectations below. Monitor System performance Monitor CPU, Memory utilization Monitor vSAN Cluster Monitor the…
Virtualization Manager (VMAN) 8.3 is now available, on the Customer Portal! The release notes are a great place to get an overview of the release at a glance including deprecation notices and bug fixes. New Features in VMAN 8.3 * Troubleshooting VMware vSAN software-defined storage is now easier than ever before, with…
VMware 5.5 Update 1 introduced General Availability for VSAN, shared ESX storage. If you are adopting VSAN and would like to see specific information about your VSAN inside of Virtualization Manager, please vote for this so I can speak to you about requirements. Feel free to put requirements in this thread as well.
Currently, NPM provides detail for VSAN (Cisco proprietary) but cant provide details of Brocade zoning which is similar. As described inNPM - Feature Request for Brocade Zones Support , please add support for other zoning methods as used by Brocade and other vendors.
Recently, a customer who’s already got a vSAN implementation in place, but only for testing purposes, asked me about the potential hazards regarding virtualizing some of their databases onto vSAN. To be fair, the initial conversation began with simply using VMware as a basis for some of their mission critical databases.…
My widget does not list memory overallocated does not list any vms. Using the the rule of vm.memory:[2048 TO *] AND vm.powerstate:poweredOn AND vm.consumedPercentMemload.week:[0 TO .3] What do I edit to list vms.? Note we are test driving the vsan and are new users. Thanks. Roger
All, Does anyone know if I directly connect my SAN storage into Cisco's UCS Fabric Interconnect (6200) can the resulting VSAN be monitored in Solarwinds exactly as it would if it was hanging of MDS or Brocade? Sorry I have not correlated the UnDP for VSAN to see if the Fabric Interconnects respond to them - they are…
