Executive Summary
With Vblock Infrastructure Platforms, VCE delivers the industrys first completely integrated IT offering that combines best-in-class network, compute, storage, management, virtualization, and security technologies with end-to-end vendor accountability. Organizations that use HP Operations Manager (formerly HP OpenView Operations Manager) will require an understanding of how Vblock platforms interoperate with enterprise management frameworks to monitor performance, capacity, and availability. This paper provides a high-level approach to monitoring Vblock platforms with HP Operations Manager by identifying the monitoring requirements for each Vblock component and mapping out a set of recommended configurations for meeting these requirements. By leveraging a combination of industry standard SNMP protocol and third party Smart Plug-ins for HP Operations Manager, organizations can effectively integrate Vblock platforms into their existing HP Operations Manager framework, allowing them to introduce Vblock converged infrastructure to their data centers while maintaining current data center monitoring methodologies.
The Challenge
Organizations have made sizeable investments in automated monitoring and management infrastructures like HP Operations Manager. With these monitoring infrastructures in place, they require the information necessary to integrate Vblock technologies effectively and efficiently to maximize their return on investment.
The Solution
IT decision makers and data center managers can address this challenge by configuring HP Operations Manager to monitor Vblock platforms using the following: HP Network Node Manager to act as the SNMP management station SNMP v2 to monitor the network, compute, and storage components of Vblock Third-party Smart Plug-in from Veeam to monitor the virtualization components of Vblock Scope This paper contains guidelines for using HP Operations Manager to monitor Vblock platforms.

Technology Overview
Data center monitoring is vital to ensure optimal resource and service utilization. IT must provide for the availability, performance, and optimal capacity of the enterprise, from the virtualization layer to the underlying components. At its simplest, IT must be able to know the following: Systems and devices are up, functioning, and not experiencing hardware or software issues or failures Resources are being used appropriately and are operating at proper performance levels There are no mission-critical events that could impact the business This is a manageable operator task for environments with only one or two servers, a network switch, a router, and a firewall; however, multiply the components by thousands or tens of thousands and the need for automated monitoring of the enterprise becomes abundantly clear. Larger organizations commonly turn to enterprise management systems to provide complete frameworks for monitoring, managing, reporting, and analyzing the many heterogeneous devices and systems in their data centers. Data center monitoring is a critical factor in ensuring that business applications maintain maximum availability and performance and that the capacity required by those applications is available. This monitoring enables either proactive avoidance of problems or timely detection and resolution when reacting to any problems that occur. When considering monitoring Vblock platforms with HP Operations Manager, it is important to understand the following key technologies: HP enterprise management components, specifically the HP Operations Manager SNMP standard protocol for device management and monitoring Smart Plug-ins for HP Operations Manager Vblock architecture
HP Technologies
HP Operations Manager is a product for monitoring and management of data centers and is part of the HP Business Technology Optimization (BTO) product suite. It leverages customized and product-specific Smart Plugins and SNMP to provide consistent and consolidated collection of information for use in monitoring operations and events. HP Operations Manager provides a hierarchical containerization feature that lets you monitor elements both individually and as a whole. This feature is especially valuable to a converged infrastructure environment as it provides the monitoring view needed to monitor and sustain its unified resources.
Note: HP Operations Manager requires that each individual Vblock component be set up and configured to communicate with HP Operations Manager Console.
The following HP BTO components are important to Vblock monitoring: HP Operations Manager HP Network Node Manager (NNM) HP Operations Manager provides the core-alerting viewpoint for the HP BTO product suite. It allows you to view alerts on a per node, device, and container basis. HP Network Node Manager provides Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v2 compatibility for SNMP-enabled devices. It also allows alert forwarding and integration to the HP Operations Manager Console. Figure 1 shows a high-level overview of HP Operations Manager and how the monitoring information aggregates (or feeds up) from the devices, servers, and virtual machines for monitoring.
Figure 1.
Integrated into most network devices and operating systems is the ability to send and receive device specific information via SNMP, the industry standard network management protocol used to connect to devices, collect their information, and bring it back to SNMP management stations. A Management Information Base (MIB) file, which is specific to the device or system itself, contains a listing of objects to be monitored and various parameters associated with each. This paper looks at using SNMP traps sent to the SNMP management stations for monitoring. The ability to send SNMP traps is essential to communicate with the HP Network Node Manager host, which ultimately allows integration of Vblock platforms with HP Operations Manager. Smart Plug-ins (SPIs) are a method of integrating monitoring functionality for a specific device or application. HP or a third-party vendor such as Veeam can publish them. This paper recommends using Veeams nworks Smart Plug-in to provide the monitoring of the virtualization layer of the Vblock platform.
Vblock Platform
Vblock Series 700
Description Designed to address a wide spectrum of virtual machines, users, and applications. Ideally suited to achieve the scale required in both private and public cloud environments. Designed for deployments of very large numbers of virtual machines and users. Ideally suited to meet the higher performance and availability requirements of an enterprise's business critical applications.
All the layers compute, network, SAN switches, storage, and virtualization need to be effectively monitored. Organizations with existing investments in HP BTO want to receive alerts and event notifications for monitoring through their existing data center management tool HP Operations Manager. Each Vblock platform consists of slightly different components. The table below highlights the various components that are important to monitor, including what is common between Vblock platform types and what components differ by type.

For the Cisco UCS, Cisco Nexus, Cisco MDS, EMC Celerra, EMC CLARiiON, and EMC Symmetrix components, it is recommended that you leverage the industry standard SNMP protocol and set SNMP traps to send information to HP Operations Manager for monitoring. Depending on the device, you can accomplish this using either of the following methods: The respective device GUI management interface CLI command line interface For the VMware vSphere virtualization component, it is recommended you use Veeam nworks Smart Plug-in, a Smart Plug-in for HP Operations Manager readily available from Veeam Software. This plug in provides: Full feature and function monitoring for the VMware vSphere components, including the ESX server and guest virtual machines Direct integration to HP Operations Manager To facilitate monitoring Vblock platform converged infrastructure; organize each Vblock platform in the data center as a holistic unit using the HP Operations Manager container functionality. The premise behind the container is to create a hierarchy where individual Vblock components appear under a top-level Vblock platform. This allows maximum operational visibility for all Vblock components and the unit as a whole. To deploy the architecture shown in Figure 2 for monitoring Vblock platform with HP Operations Manager, you must take several high-level steps. Figure 3 highlights these steps.

It is important that you: Set SNMP traps to be sent to the SNMP Management Console (HP Network Node Manager host) for all Vblock infrastructure components for critical error conditions Set SNMP traps to be sent to the SNMP Management Console (HP Network Node Manager host) for all above or approaching threshold levels that if left unmonitored would result in a critical error Configure Veeam nworks Smart Plug-in to send alerts to HP Operations Manager directly for both error and threshold conditions for the virtualization layer Set warning and informational conditions based on your organizations specific business needs and practices. Before setting up the specific SNMP traps, it is important to consult the individual vendor component documentation and download the vendor-specific MIBs for each component to be monitored.

Key Events to Monitor The following are key events to monitor on Cisco Nexus Series Switches with default MIBs. The MIB responsible for each event notification is listed in parentheses. Link up/down status (IF-MIB) Memory statistics and LED information (CISCO-ENTITY-EXT-MIB) Power supplies, fans, and modules (CISCO-ENTITY-FRU-CONTROL-MIB) Sensor temperature and environment (CISCO-ENTITY-SENSOR-MIB) Module image management and upgrade status (CISCO-IMAGE-UPGRADE-MIB) For addition information on Cisco Nexus MIB, go to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/mib/reference/NX5000_MIBRef.html. Monitoring Cisco MDS Switches |For the Cisco MDS component of Vblock platforms, use SNMP traps to capture such critical events as zone, sensor, and redundancy. These traps are recommended for effective Vblock platform monitoring through HP Operations Manager. Enabling SNMP traps on Cisco MDS requires making certain configurations using the Command Line Interface (CLI) on the MDS switch. These changes enable forwarding Cisco MDS-specific link up and link down traps, entity, fcdomain, and zone traps to HP Operations Manager. Enabling SNMP Traps on Cisco MDS Figure 7 shows a high-level overview of the process to enable SNMP traps on Cisco MDS.
Figure 6.
Key Events to Monitor Cisco provides executables to integrate events with HP Operations Manager and ensure that HP Operations Manager can recognize Cisco MDS 9000 events. Listed below are SNMP traps included in the executables, which represent the key items to monitor for the SAN Fibre Channel Switch component: Link VSAN Zone Sensor Field Replacement Unit (FRU) Redundancy

Monitoring EMC CLARiiON EMC CLARiiON arrays support SNMP by sending SNMP traps to HP Operations Manager. Enabling SNMP Traps on EMC CLARiiON Figure 8 shows a high-level overview of the process to enable SNMP traps on EMC CLARiiON.
Figure 8.
After you enable and configure SNMP and select all the EMC CLARiiON storage-related events to monitor, the system automatically forwards the SNMP traps to the SNMP Network Management System to be rolled up into HP Operations Manager for event monitoring. Key Events to Monitor EMC CLARiiON arrays are capable of generating events in response to specific changes in the state of the storage system caused by an error or some other condition, such as a threshold limit reached that might require action by an administrator. The following are key items to monitor for an EMC CLARiiON array. These provide an effective balance of events relating to the performance of the EMC CLARiiON storage system, as well as its overall availability and capacity. Special Threshold Monitoring Condition: Virtual provisioning is a critical area to monitor with regard to thresholds for EMC CLARiiON storage environments. Pay close attention to monitoring thin pools and their used and free capacity. It is vital that thin pools contain available data device capacity to avoid a pool full condition, which occurs when thin devices bound to an oversubscribed thin pool have free capacity, but the underlying thin pool is full. The reaction of hosts to a pool full condition varies, as is documented in the Host Connectivity guides that EMC publishes for each open systems platform.

Using SNMP traps on the VMAX requires the EMC Solutions Enabler, which has an event daemon (storevntd) that monitors EMC Symmetrix operations by detecting and reporting EMC Symmetrix events. The event daemon: Continually collects Symmetrix event information in near real time Filters the events by severity and type Maps events into SNMP traps Sends events to a specified host running an SNMP trap client For integration and monitoring of these events, the SNMP trap client is the host running HP Network Node Manager and SNMP Management Services. Enabling SNMP Traps on EMC Symmetrix Figure 9 shows a high-level overview of the process to enable SNMP traps on EMC Symmetrix.

These events provide an effective balance of events relating to the performance of the EMC Symmetrix storage system, as well as its overall availability and capacity. Special Threshold Monitoring Condition: Virtual provisioning is a critical area to monitor with regard to thresholds for V-MAX storage environments. Pay close attention to monitoring thin pools and their used and free capacity. It is vital that thin pools contain available data device capacity to avoid a pool full condition, which occurs when thin devices bound to an oversubscribed thin pool have free capacity but the underlying thin pool is full.

Monitoring VMware vSphere There are three options available for monitoring VMware vSphere using HP Operations Manager: Veeam nworks Smart Plug-in for VMware v5, which also includes ESXi hardware health data HP Operations Virtualization SPI v1.0 (a Smart Plug-in available through HP) HP Operations integration to HP Insight Control, which provides a hardware-only view of the environment This paper focuses on the Veeam nworks Smart Plug-in (SPI) for VMware as the recommended option, as it provides a high level of functionality and integration for monitoring the individual vSphere elements. Veeam nworks Smart Plug-in for VMware allows HP Operations Manager to monitor the vSphere component elements of Vblock platforms effectively. The nworks SPI provides distributed monitoring and management of the VMware infrastructure (vSphere and VI3) fully integrated into HP Operations Manager. It publishes VMware performance, events, configuration, state, and topology directly into HP Operations Manager, giving you a common view across your physical and virtual infrastructures. Veeam SPI: Allows monitoring of both the ESX server and its virtual machines and direct reporting to the Operations Manager console Allows monitoring in unison of the hypervisor layer and the virtual machine layer Provides agent-less monitoring Reduces TCO by eliminating the need for an agent-based virtual machine monitoring approach Key Events to Monitor The following table highlights some key events to monitor for the VMware vSphere virtualization layer. These provide an effective balance of events relating to the performance of the ESX host and virtual machines, availability, and capacity indicators for the virtualization layer.

Important Considerations Important considerations when building a container include: HP Network Node Manager Discovery process HP Operations Manager node editor Veeam nworks Smart Plug-in
HP Network Node Manager Discovery HP Network Node Manager plays a critical part in SNMP- enabled devices communicating with Vblock platforms. HP Operations Manager will not allow SNMP devices and servers to communicate directly with the HP Operations Manager console. HP Operations Manager automatically builds a separate HP Network Node Manager tree with all the elements that HP Network Node Manager discovers. You can then integrate elements or sub-trees of the HP Network Node Manager Discovery tree into HP Operations Manager, depending on layout preference. It is important to verify the HP Network Node Manager discovery and to move items from HP Network Node Manager into the required Vblock containers. For example, HP Network Node Manager will not group and correlate all switches and routers associated with a particular Vblock platform; instead, this must be a manual verify and move process. As HP Network Node Manager Discovery builds a topographical view of the network, discovery time varies depending on the network segment size. It is important to make sure your network is self-contained and that all involved parties are aware of the process as the HP Network Node Manager discovery polling process can be quite extensive. HP Operations Manager Node Editor The HP Operations Manager node editor is the primary tool for organizing nodes and devices within containers. Once the HP Network Node Manager tree has been integrated into HP Operations Manager, all further container layout creation is done using the HP Operations Manager node editor, which lets you build a tree-oriented hierarchy based on an application or grouping condition (that is, Vblock platform, production servers, development databases, and so forth). For more details on using the node editor, refer to the HP Operations Manager documentation. Veeam Smart Plug-in HP Operations Manager builds a separate container for the Veeam Smart-Plug-in elements (virtual machines). The Veeam Smart Plug-in allows for direct integration into the HP Operations Manager console. Once the integration is complete, construct a Veeam SPI container using the HP Operations Manager node editor tool. Elements from this Veeam SPI container can be combined with HP Network Node Manager Discovery container elements to form a container. The container described in Figure 10 is a superset of elements from the HP Network Node Manager Discovery container and the Veeam Smart Plug-in container.
