blue medora oracle enterprise manager (em12c) plug-in for vmware vsphere
DESCRIPTION
Overview presentation for the Blue Medora Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Plug-in for VMware vSphere. The plugin provides Oracle EM12c-based monitoring, management, and provisioning capabilities or vSphere based Datacenters, Clusters, ESX Hosts, and Virtual Machines. Version 8, Released in December 2013 introduced a new EM12c 'VMware Management' target that extends EM12c's native DBaaS and MWaaS capabilities to VMware based infrastructuresTRANSCRIPT
Oracle EM12c Plugins for VMware Overview
The leader in extending Oracle Enterprise Manager
EM12c Plugins for VMware – Solu7on details ! Extends Oracle EM12c capabili7es
to VMware ! Monitoring and Aler7ng
! Power management of virtual machines
! BI Publisher-‐based repor7ng ! Virtual machine provisioning
! Enables EM12c-‐based MWaaS on VMware
! Enables EM12c-‐based DBaaS on VMware
Plugin for VMware adds contextual views to Oracle workloads and the health, performance, and availability of the VMware layers those Oracle workloads depends on
Oracle EM12c-‐based visibility into VMware
• Provisions VMware virtual machines from EM12c
• Extends EM12c-‐based Database-‐as-‐a-‐Service (DBaaS) to VMware
• Extend EM12c-‐based Middleware-‐as-‐a-‐Service (MWaaS) to VMware
• Execute power opera7ons for VMware virtual machines
Oracle EM12c-‐based management of VMware
From directly within the Oracle Database Instance page, be no7fied when VMware performance, health, and availability related incidents are affec7ng your Oracle workload
Removes the VMware “fog” around Oracle
Plugin for VMware adds contextual views within the EM12c Topology navigator that explains the rela7onships between Oracle targets and the underlying VMware targets that the Oracle targets depend on
Remove the mystery of the VMware layers

OEM Plugin for VMware Overview
Oracle on VMware challenges ! No out-‐of-‐the-‐box EM12c integra8on with VMware
! Lack of awareness of cri7cal VMware alarms/alerts in real-‐7me
! Tradi7onal OS performance counters are inaccurate in a VMware VM
! Oracle admins forced to become VMware vCenter Console experts
! Inability to provision VMware VMs from with EM12c
! Inability to exploit Oracle MwaaS and DBaaS on VMware
! You can’t manage what you can’t see -‐ VMware memory & CPU reserva7ons, virtualized storage, and hypervisor conten7on all affect Oracle workload performance
Why does VMware integra7on ma]er? ! Eliminates finger poin7ng
between Oracle, VMware team, and Storage teams
! Enables faster 7me to resolu7on ! Stop wai7ng for the VMware
team to tell you if there is problem or not
! Provides contextual Oracle on VMware health, performance, and availability views
! Significant cost reduc7ons when integra7ng the Oracle on VMware provisioning processes
EM12c based VMware visibility with the Blue Medora EM Plugin for VMware
VMware vCenter Console is inadequate ! Designed for VMware
administrators, not Oracle admins
! Requires deep VMware knowledge to be useful
! No na7ve integra7on with Oracle EM
! Zero awareness of Oracle workloads
! Metric overload – there are 1000s of raw performance metrics
VMware vCenter Console
EM12c Plugin for VMware highlights VMware ESX Server “Drill Down” View in EM12c ! Oracle Validated
Integra7on
! Support for VMware vSphere 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, 5.5
! Support for EM12c R3
! Remote agentless monitoring of VMware from a single OMA
! 300+ VMware metrics and 60+ thresholds
! VMware provisioning and power management
Complete EM integra7on for VMware single pane of glass visibility
Enables all Oracle EM func8onality:
! Performance monitoring ! Availability monitoring ! Thresholds ! Incidents ! BI Publisher based repor7ng ! Jobs & Management ! Configura7on monitoring ! VMware provisioning ! Database-‐as-‐a-‐Service ! Middleware-‐as-‐a-‐Service
For all VMware components…
! Datacenters ! Cluster ! ESX and ESXi hosts ! Datastores ! Resource Groups ! Events ! Alarms
At a glance, know which VMware layer has a problem
Oracle on VMware Provisioning and DBaaS / MWaaS
Enables fully-‐automated provisioning of any # of VMware-‐based Oracle DB or WebLogic servers using EM12c
Oracle MWaaS / DBaaS on VMware value-‐add
Adds new ‘VMware Management’ target to
Oracle EM12c
Create Oracle WebLogic on VMware provisioning profiles and link VMware VM templates to them
Determine how many WebLogic on VMware servers to deploy, which
Oracle Cloud zone and pools they should go, and kick-‐off
the deployment
Clone VMware VMs or deploy from templates
outside of the Oracle MwaaS process
Power on, power off, suspend, etc VMware VMs from within EM12c
New in v8 – Oracle DBaaS / MwaaS on VMware

How the plugin automates Oracle on VMware deployments
Enables up to 95% reduc7on in deployment 7mes Without the plugin, VMware VMs must be provisioned
‘out-‐of-‐band’ by the VMware opera7ons team
With the plugin, VMware VM provisioning is fully automated
within the WebLogic or Oracle DB provisioning workflow
What’s new in the Oracle EM12c Plugin for
VMware v9?
New in VMware Plugin for EM v12.0.1.8 (v9) ! Released May 2014
! New in this release: ! “Related Incidents” enabled for VMware targets that are affec7ng Oracle workload performance
! Oracle on VMware topology views enabled through new EM12c-‐based “associa7ons” the map the rela7on of VMware targets to Oracle targets running on VMware
! Ability to define and modify thresholds has been enabled at the individual VMware target (virtual machine, ESX, datastore, cluster, etc) level
