Custom Groups

Custom Groups feature allows you group VMs or CPU pools into one aggregated graph. VMs or CPU pools could be from different physical servers. VMs can be member of more custom groups.

Typical usage

• Grouping nodes of a active/active cluster to see total CPU utilization per all cluster nodes in one graph.
• Grouping nodes of active/passive cluster it might be useful, as you get total CPU utilization together for all nodes of the cluster (active and passives) no matter which one is actually active.
• Grouping of application farms, environment landscapes (Production, testing, etc).

Grouping possibilities

• CPU from different Servers/ESXi
  • CPU pool utilization
  • Memory allocation
• VM/LPARs from different servers
  • CPU utilization
  • Memory allocation
  • Memory utilization
  • LAN throughput in MB/sec (all interfaces)
  • SAN throughput in MB/sec (all interfaces)
  • SAN throughput in IO per sec (all interfaces)

Examples

VIOS SAN throughput MB/sec

VIOS SAN throughput IOPS

LPAR Memory utilization

Custom Groups feature allows you group selected items from physically different devices (Storage/SAN switches) into one aggregated graph.

It creates these aggregated graphs:

• Storage Pools / Volumes / Hosts
  • IO rate
  • IO read
  • IO write
  • data rate
  • data read
  • data write
  • response time total (latency)
  • response time read
  • response time write
• SAN ports
  • data in
  • data out
  • frames in
  • frames out
  • BB credits
  • errors

Examples

Functionality is similar to historical reports, however here you can preconfigure it. Then you will get required daily-yearly graphs in 2 or 3 clicks

It is all configured from the UI
