The Everpure integration with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations enables the latter to leverage health, capacity, and performance data from multiple Everpure FlashArrays and their relevant vSphere resources.
The primary features of the management pack include dashboards, alerts, and metrics that help to monitor the performance, capacity, and health of the Pure resources.
The management pack collects the data and provides end-to-end centralized monitoring. This allows you to view and analyze performance and capacity statistics, monitor the health of the objects, determine risks, and generate reports. This helps you to quickly analyze the state of the environment and helps to quickly identify and resolve issues.
The management pack leverages the data from multiple Everpure Arrays under the same adapter with the collection interval of 5 minutes.
In every collection cycle, the management pack collects the data, analyzes it, and then displays the statistics on the VCF Operations GUI. These statistics display the behavior of the discovered resources.
The management pack uses:
- The VCF Operations GUI: The management pack displays the statistics on this interface. The GUI is the main console for the administrator to monitor the storage systems.
-
Resource kind: The resource kinds are the objects of Everpure FlashArray.
- For example: FlashArrays, pods, volumes, volume groups, hosts and host groups, and so on.
- Alerts, Symptoms, and Recommendations: Alerts indicate the state and severity of health, risk, and efficiency of resource kind. They contain recommendations to overcome problem areas that require immediate attention.
-
Everpure FlashArray: Is the storage device based on Flash drives.
You can optimize the monitoring and management of Everpure resources from within the VCF Operations environment by specifying the metrics that you want to view.
The management pack supports the following resource kind:
- Everpure World
