• Available in all Editions
• Summary and Deep Dive view into vSphere
• Used by the VI Admin and Infrastructure Teams
• https://<UI VM IP> or https://<UI VM IP> /vcops-vsphere
vC Ops Custom UI• Available at the Enterprise Suite
• What you would know as the vC Ops Enterprise 1.x UI
• Used by Operations
• Provides a view into the ENTIRE enterprise

Vc Ops vSphere UI – Unified Dashboard
Launching Pad• Click to Drill down
Focused on problems• Click to drill into details!
• Almost everything is clickable
Main Themes• Health
• Risk
• Efficiency
New Concepts• Faults
• Weekly Stress Profile
• Reclaimable Waste
• Density
10 Confidential
vC Ops vSphere UI – Two Different Users
• Immediate problems
• What is happening right now?
• What do I need to pay attention to?
Operations Short and Long Term Capacity
• Forward Looking
• Are there areas that I should be concerned about from a capacity perspective?
• Have I deployed my VI in the most efficient manner?
11 Confidential
vC Ops Default UI – Major and Minor Badges
• High level Understanding
• Calculated from scores of Minor Badges
Major x 3
Minor x 8• Specifics
• Guidance
12 Confidential
Operations: Major Badge – Health
“How is this object doing right now?" • Identifies current problems in the system
• Issues that need to be resolved immediately to avoid problems
High Health is good (100-0) Heatmap
• Provides quick view of many objects at once
• Shows Health of all parent and child objects
• Go back in time (6 hours) and see the “weather” of the Virt Infrastructure
Health Score is calculated from its Minor Badges• Workload
• Anomalies
• Faults
13 Confidential
Operations: Health Minor Badge – Workload
Measures how hard an object is working?
High Workload is bad (0-100 or more!)• Percentage of Demand divided by
effective capacity
• As workload approaches (and exceeds) 100% Performance Problems! Starving object for resources!
Focused attention• CPU
• Memory
• Disk I/O
• Network I/O
95
Improved Network and Disk I/O calculations
Eliminates idle networks and storage from showing High Workload
Limit the erroneous 100% Workload scores
14 Confidential
Operations: Health Minor Badge – Anomalies
Measures how normal is this object behaving?• Is what the vC Ops 1.x Health score was,
but now inversed
Derived from the number of metrics that are outside of their “Normal” trended ranges• Learns dynamic ranges of “Normal” for
each metric
• Identifies metric abnormalities
Low Anomalies is good (0-100)• Zero meaning the object is performing
exactly the way vC Ops expects it to for that time of the day, that day of the week
• A high number of anomalies are usually an indication of a problem
Anomalies Chart• Current number of Abnormal
Metrics
• Problem/Noise Threshold Crossing problem threshold will
increase the Anomalies Score
Does not generate an alert in this vSphere UI
15 Confidential
Operations: Health Minor Badge – Faults
Measures the degree of faults or problems the object is experiencing • Pulled from active vCenter events
VMware specific knowledge of which vCenter Events affect Availability and Performance (examples):• Loss of redundancy in NICs or HBAs
• Memory checksum errors
• HA failover problems
Low Faults is good (0-100)• Each fault has a default score (e.g. 25,
50, 75, 100)• Highest individual Fault Score drives the
Fault object Score
Best Practices: • Do not change the Faults
Threshold
• Use Alerts View to manage Faults
Faults shown in Widget
16 Confidential
Capacity Planning: Major Badge – Risk
Are there future risks to my systems and VI?
Identifies potential problems that could eventually hurt the performance
Low Risk is good (0-100) Risk Score is calculated from its
Minor Badges• Time Remaining
• Capacity Remaining
• Stress
Risk Chart• Shows Risk score over the last 7 days
17 Confidential
Capacity Planning: Risk Minor Badge – Time Remaining
Measures time remaining before each resource type reaches its capacity• CPU
• Memory
• Disk
• Network I/O
Early warning of upcoming provisioning needs• Avoid future performance issues
High Time Remaining is good (100-0)
Graph shows resource utilization trends
18 Confidential
Capacity Planning: Risk Minor Badge – Capacity Remaining
Measures how many more VMs can be placed on the object
Percentage of Total VM “Slots” Remaining• Based on the average size of the
VM on the object (e.g. VM profile)
• Each object has its OWN VM profile size: Host, Cluster, Datacenter, Etc.
High Capacity Remaining is good (100-0)• Zero mean no room left for more
VMs
333 More VMs correlates to 77% Capacity Remaining for this object
19 Confidential
Capacity Planning: Risk Minor Badge – Stress
Stress measures long-term or chronic workload• Workload shows an instantaneous
value
• Stress looks over a longer period of time
Quickly find and resolve• Undersized objects
• Population contention
Low Stress is good (0-100) Stress score encompasses a six
(6) week period• Workloads > 70% = “Stressed”
• Threshold Configurable
Chart shows weeks break down of Stress for each day/hour averaged over the last six (6) Weeks
20 Confidential
Capacity Planning: Major Badge – Efficiency Are there optimization opportunities
in my systems? How to run a leaner datacenter Save $$$ by better utilizing
resources High Efficiency is good (100-0) Efficiency Score calculated from
Minor Badges • Reclaimable Waste
• Density
Graph Depicts VMs by Percent• Optimal – Optimally Provisioned VMs
• Waste – Over Provisioned VMs
• Stress – Under Provisioned VMs• Not used in Efficiency Calculation (see Risk)
Three Resources Considered• CPU• Memory• Disk Space
Note: VMs can appear in Stress and Waste
21 Confidential
Capacity Planning: Efficiency Minor Badge – Reclaimable Waste
Measures the over-provisioning for an object
It identifies the amount of reclaimable resources• CPU
• Memory
• Disk
Low Reclaimable Waste is good (0-100)
Reclaimable Waste = Reclaimable Capacity / Deployed Capacity• Score depicts the MAX of the CPU,
Memory and Disk calculation
• Disk calculation can also include old snapshots and templates
Graph shows breakdown of the Waste section of the Efficiency Badge pie chart • % Idle VMs (based on configured
settings)
• % Powered Off VMs
• % Oversized VMs
22 Confidential
Capacity Planning: Efficiency Minor Badge – Density
Contrasts Actual vs. Ideal Density Identify Optimal Resource
Deployment Before Contention Occurs
Greater Consolidation $$$ High Density is good (100-0) Measures consolidation ratios:
• VMs/Host Ratios
• vCPU/Physical CPU Ratios
• vMem/Physical Memory Ratios
23 Confidential
Dashboard Focus for VM and Datastore
Dashboard is focus driven VM:
• Health widget no longer has a heatmap as a VM has no children objects
Datastore:• Focused on disk metrics only
• Stress & Density are not shown
