VMware Performance and Capacity Management, Second Edition - Second Edition

Overview of this book

Performance management and capacity management are the two top-most issues faced by enterprise IT when doing virtualization. Until the first edition of the book, there was no in-depth coverage on the topic to tackle the issues systematically. The second edition expands the first edition, with added information and reorganizing the book into three logical parts. The first part provides the technical foundation of SDDC Management. It explains the difference between a software-defined data center and a classic physical data center, and how it impacts both architecture and operations. From this strategic view, it zooms into the most common challenges—performance management and capacity management. It introduces a new concept called Performance SLA and also a new way of doing capacity management. The next part provides the actual solution that you can implement in your environment. It puts the theories together and provides real-life examples created together with customers. It provides the reasons behind each dashboard, so that you get the understanding on why it is required and what problem it solves. The last part acts as a reference section. It provides a complete reference to vSphere and vRealize Operations counters, explaining their dependencies and providing practical guidance on the values you should expect in a healthy environment.

OEM allows Oracle DBAs to monitor their Oracle Database instance, Oracle RAC, ASM, and any other Oracle workload. Our management pack will bring that data from OEM into vRealize Operations. Whether the administrator is looking to move from OEM to vROps or just wants the same data their DBAs are looking at, the management pack for Oracle Enterprise Manager works great for seeing these workloads.

Because an Oracle DBA can have many different types of workloads running in OEM, our configuration allows the vROps admin to choose specifically what they want to see. If a brand new plugin is added to an OEM system, we can bring that data straight into vROps as well. This allows us to collect data from any Oracle workload that a DBA may monitor:
