Metric Definitions in vRealize

Operations

Metric definitions provide an overview of how the metric value is calculated or derived. If you

understand the metric, you can better tune vRealize Operations to display results that help you to

manage your environment.

vRealize Operations collects data from objects in your environment. Each piece of data collected

is called a metric observation or value. vRealize Operations uses the VMware vCenter® adapter

to collect raw metrics. vRealize Operations uses the vRealize Operations adapter to collect self-

monitoring metrics. In addition to the metrics it collects, vRealize Operations calculates capacity

metrics, badge metrics, and metrics to monitor the health of your system.

All metric definitions are provided. The metrics reported on your system depend on the objects in

your environment. You can use metrics to help troubleshoot problems.

This chapter includes the following topics:

n Metrics for vCenter Server Components

n OS and Application Monitoring Metrics

n Service Discovery Metrics

n Calculated Metrics

n Self-Monitoring Metrics for vRealize Operations

n vRealize Automation 8.x Metrics

n Metrics for vSAN

Metrics for vCenter Server Components

vRealize Operations connects to VMware vCenter Server® instances through the vCenter adapter

to collect metrics for vCenter Server components and uses formulas to derive statistics from those

metrics. You can use metrics to troubleshoot problems in your environment.

vCenter Server components are listed in the describe.xml file for the vCenter adapter. The

following example shows sensor metrics for the host system in the describe.xml file.

CPU Usage Metrics

CPU usage metrics provide information about CPU use.

Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts

VMware, Inc. 14

Metric Name Description

CPU|Capacity usage CPU usages as a percent during the interval.

Key: cpu|capacity_usagepct_average

CPU|CPU contention(%) This metric shows the percentage of time the VMs in the ESXi hosts are

unable to run because they are contending for access to the physical CPUs.

The number shown is the average number for all VMs. This number is lower

than the highest number experienced by the VM most impacted by CPU

contention.

Use this metric to verify if the host can serve all its VMs efficiently. Low

contention means that the VM can access everything it demands to run

smoothly. It means that the infrastructure is providing good service to the

application team.

When using this metric, ensure that the number is within your expectation.

Look at both the relative number and the absolute number. Relative means

a drastic change in value, meaning that the ESXi is unable to serve the VMs.

Absolute means that the real value itself is high. Investigate why the number

is high. One factor that impacts this metric is CPU Power Management. If

CPU Power Management clocks down the CPU speed from 3 GHz to 2 GHz,

the reduction in speed is accounted for because it shows that the VM is not

running at full speed.

This metric is calculated in the following way: cpu|capacity_contention / (200

* summary|number_running_vcpus)

Key: cpu|capacity_contentionPct

CPU|Demand (%) This metric shows the amount of CPU resources a virtual machine might use

if there were no CPU contention or CPU limit. This metric represents the

average active CPU load for the past five minutes.

Keep this number below 100% if you set the power management to

maximum.

This metric is calculated in the following way: ( cpu.demandmhz /

cpu.capacity_provisioned)*100

Key: cpu|demandPct

CPU|Demand (MHz) This metric shows the amount of CPU resources a virtual machine might use

if there were no CPU contention or CPU limit.

Key: cpu|demandmhz

Key: cpu|capacity_contention

CPU|Provisioned Capacity (MHz) Capacity in MHz of the physical CPU cores.

Key: cpu|capacity_provisioned

CPU|Provisioned vCPU(s) Number of provisioned CPU cores.

Key: cpu|corecount_provisioned

Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts

VMware, Inc. 15

Metric Name Description

CPU|Reserved Capacity (MHz) Total CPU capacity reserved by virtual machines.

Key: cpu|reservedCapacity_average

CPU|Usage (MHz) CPU usages, as measured in megahertz, during the interval.

n VM - Amount of actively used virtual CPU. This is the host's view of the

CPU usage, not the guest operating system view.

n Host - Sum of the actively used CPU of all powered on virtual machines

on a host. The maximum possible value is the frequency of the two

processors multiplied by the number of processors. For example, if you

have a host with four 2 GHz CPUs running a virtual machine that is using

4000 MHz, the host is using two CPUs completely: 400 / (4 2000) =

0.50

Key: cpu|usagemhz_average

CPU|Wait Total CPU time spent in wait state. The wait total includes time spent in the

CPU Idle, CPU Swap Wait, and CPU I/O Wait states.

Key: cpu|wait

CPU|Workload (%) Percent of workload

Key: cpu|workload

Memory Metrics

Memory metrics provide information about memory use and allocation.

Metric Name

Description

mem|Contention (%) This metric shows the percentage of time VMs are waiting to access

swapped memory.

Use this metric to monitor ESXi memory swapping. A high value indicates

that the ESXi is running low on memory, and a large amount of memory is

being swapped.

Key: mem|host_contentionPct

mem|Machine Demand (KB) Host memory demand in kilobytes.

Key: mem|host_demand

mem|Provisioned Memory Provisioned host memory in kilobytes.

Key: mem|host_provisioned

mem|Reserved Capacity (KB) Total amount of memory reservation used by powered-on virtual machines

and vSphere services on the host.

Key: mem|reservedCapacity_average

mem|Usable Memory (KB) Usable host memory in kilobytes.

Key: mem|host_usable

mem|Host Usage (KB) Host memory use in kilobytes.

Key: mem|host_usage

Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts

VMware, Inc. 16

Metric Name Description

mem|Usage/Usable (%) Memory usage as percentage of total configured or available memory.

Key: mem|host_usagePct

mem|Workload (%) Percent of workload.

Key: mem|workload

Network Metrics

Network metrics provide information about network performance.

Metric Name Description

net|Packets Dropped (%) This metric shows the percentage of received and transmitted packets

dropped in the collection interval.

Use this metric to monitor the reliability and performance of the ESXi

network. A high value indicates that the network is not reliable and

performance decreases.

Key: net|droppedPct

net|Usage Rate (KB per second) Sum of the data transmitted and received for all of the NIC instances of the

host or virtual machine.

Key: net|usage_average

net|Workload (%) Percent of workload.

Key: net|workload

Disk Metrics

Disk metrics provide information about disk use.

Metric Name

Description

disk|Total IOPS Average number of commands issued per second during the collection

cycle.

Key: disk|commandsAveraged_average

disk|Usage Rate (KB per second) Average of the sum of the data read and written for all of the disk instances

of the host or virtual machine.

Key: disk|usage_average

disk|Workload (%) Percent of workload.

Key: disk|workload

Summary Metrics

Summary metrics provide information about overall performance.

Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts

VMware, Inc. 17

Metric Name Description

summary|Number of Running Hosts Number of running hosts.

Key: summary|number_running_hosts

summary|Number of Running VMs This metric shows the number of running VMs at a given point in time. The

data is sampled every five minutes.

A large number of running VMs might be a reason for CPU or memory

spikes because more resources are used in the host. The number of

running VMs gives you a good indicator of how many requests the ESXi

host must juggle. Powered off VMs are not included because they do not

impact ESXi performance. A change in the number of running VMs can

contribute to performance problems. A high number of running VMs in a

host also means a higher concentration risk, because all the VMs fail if the

ESXi crashes.

Use this metric to look for a correlation between spikes in the running VMs

and spikes in other metrics such as CPU contention, or memory contention.

Key: summary|number_running_vms

summary|Number of Clusters Total number of clusters.

Key: summary|total_number_clusters

summary|Total Number of Datastores Total number of datastores.

Metric Name

Description

CPU|Capacity Usage (%) Percent CPU capacity used.

Key: cpu|capacity_usagepct_average

CPU|Usage (%) Average CPU usage as a percentage.

Key: cpu|usage_average

Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts

VMware, Inc. 55

Metric Name Description

CPU|CPU Contention (%) This metric indicates the percentage of time the virtual

machines in the ESXi hosts are unable to run because they

are contending for access to the physical CPU(s). This is

the average number of all VMs. Naturally, the number

will be lower than the highest number experienced by

the worst hit VM (a VM that suffers the highest CPU

contention).

Use this metric to verify if the host is able to serve all of its

VMs well.

When using this metric, ensure the number is within your

expectation. The metric is affected by several factors so

you need to watch both relative numbers and absolute

numbers. Relative means a drastic change in value. This

indicates that the ESXi is unable to service its VMs.

Absolute means that the real value is high and should

be checked. One factor that impacts the CPU contention

metric is CPU Power Management. If CPU Power

Management clocks down the CPU speed from 3 GHz to

2 GHz that reduction in speed is taken into consideration.

This is because the VM is not running at full speed.

Key: cpu|capacity_contentionPct

CPU|Demand (%) This metric shows the percentage of CPU resources all the

VMs would use if there was no CPU contention or any

CPU limits set.

It represents the average active CPU load for the past five

minutes.

Keep the number of this metric below 100% if you set

Power Management to Maximum.

Metric Name Description

Mem|Unreserved (KB) Amount of unreserved memory in kilobytes.

Key: mem|unreserved_average

Mem|Balloon (KB) This metric shows the total amount of memory currently

used by the VM memory control. This memory was

reclaimed from the respective VMs at some point in the

past, and was not returned.

Use this metric to monitor how much VM memory has

been reclaimed by ESXi through memory ballooning.

The presence of ballooning indicates the ESXi has been

under memory pressure. The ESXi activates ballooning

when consumed memory reaches a certain threshold.

Look for increasing size of ballooning. This indicates that

there has been a shortage of memory more than once.

Look for size fluctuations which indicate the ballooned out

page was actually required by the VM. This translates into

a memory performance problem for the VM requesting

the page, since the page must first be brought back from

the disk.

Summary Metrics for Host Systems

Summary metrics provide information about overall host system performance.

Metric Name Description

Summary|Number of Running VMs This metric shows the number of VMs running on the

host during the last metric collection time.

Large spikes of running VMs might be a reason for

CPU or memory spikes as more resources are used in

the host.

Number of Running VMs gives you a good indicator

of how many requests the ESXi host must juggle.

This excludes powered off VMs as they do not impact

ESXi performance. A change in this number in your

environment can contribute to performance problems.

A high number of running VMs in a host also means a

higher concentration risk, as all the VMs will become

unavailable (or be relocated by HA) if the ESXi crashes.

Look for any correlation between spikes in the number

of running VMs and spikes in other metrics such as

CPU Contention/Memory Contention.

Key: summary|number_running_vms

Summary|Maximum Number of VMs Maximum number of virtual machines

Key: summary|max_number_vms

Summary|Number of vMotions This metric shows the number of vMotions that

occurred in the host in the last X minutes.

The number of vMotions is a good indicator of stability.

In a healthy environment, this number should be stable

and relatively low.

Look for correlation between vMotions and spikes in

other metrics such as CPU/Memory contention.

The vMotion should not create any spikes, however,

the VMs moved into the host might create spikes

in memory usage, contention and CPU demand and

contention.

Metric Name

Description

CPU|Allocation|Usable Capacity after HA and Buffer

(vCPUs)

This metric shows the total capacity taking into consideration

the over-commit ratio and after subtracting the CPU resources

needed for HA and reserved buffer.

Key: cpu|alloc|usableCapacity

CPU|Capacity Usage This metric shows the percentage of the capacity used.

Key: cpu|capacity_usagepct_average

Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts

VMware, Inc. 80

Metric Name Description

CPU|CPU Contention (%) This metric is an indicator of the overall contention for CPU

resources that occurs across the workloads in the cluster. When

contention occurs, it means that some of the virtual machines are

not immediately getting the CPU resources they are requesting.

Use this metric to identify when a lack of CPU resources might be

causing performance issues in the cluster.

This metric is the sum of the CPU contention across all hosts in

the cluster averaged over two times the number of physical CPUs

in the cluster to account for hyper-threading. CPU contention

takes into account:

n CPU Ready

n CPU Co-stop

n Power management

n Hyper threading

This metric is more accurate than CPU Ready since it takes into

account CPU Co-stop and Hyper threading.

When using this metric, the number should be lower than the

performance you expect. If you expect performance at 10%, then

the number should be lower than 10%.

Since this value is averaged across all hosts in the cluster, you

might find that some hosts have a higher CPU contention while

others are lower. To ensure that vSphere spreads out the running

workloads across hosts, consider enabling a fully automated DRS

in the cluster.

Capacity Metrics for Datastores

Capacity metrics provide information about datastore capacity.

Metric Name

Description

Capacity|Available Space (GB) This metric shows the amount of free space that a

datastore has available.

Use this metric to know how much storage space is

unused on the datastore. Try to avoid having too little

free disk space in order to accommodate unexpected

storage growth on the datastore. The exact size of the

datastore is based on company policy.

Key: capacity|available_space

Key: capacity|provisioned

Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts

VMware, Inc. 120

Metric Name Description

Capacity|Total Capacity (GB) This metric shows the overall size of the datastore.

Use this metric to know the total capacity of the

datastore.

Typically the size of the datastore should not be too

small. VMFS datastore size has grown over the years

as virtualization matures and larger virtual machines

are now onboard. Ensure that the size can handle

enough virtual machines to avoid datastore sprawl. A

best practice is to use 5 TB for VMFS and more for

vSAN.

Key: capacity|consumer_provisioned

Capacity|Used Space (%) This metric shows the amount of storage that is being

used on the datastore.

Use this metric to know the percentage of storage space

being used on the datastore.

When using this metric, verify that you have at least 20%

of free storage. Less than this, and you might experience

problems when a snapshot is not deleted. If you have

more than 50% free storage space, you are not utilizing

your storage in the best possible way.

Datastore Metrics for Datastores

Datastore metrics provide information about datastore use.

Metric Name

Description

Datastore|Total Latency (ms) This metric shows the adjusted read and write latency

at the datastore level. Adjusted means that the latency

is taking into account the number of IOs. If your IO is

read-dominated, the combined value is influenced by

the reads.

This is the average of all the VMs running in the

datastore. Because it is an average, some VMs logically

experience higher latency that the value shown by this

metric. To see the worst latency experienced by any VM,

use the Maximum VM Disk Latency metric.

Use this metric to see the performance of the datastore.

It is one of two key performance indicators for a

datastore, the other being the Max Read Latency. The

combination of Maximum and Average gives better

insight into how well the datastore is coping with the

demand.

The number should be lower than the performance you

expect.

Datastore|Read IOPS This metric displays the average number of read

commands issued per second during the collection

interval.

Use this metric when the total IOPS is higher than

expected. See if the metric is read or write dominated.

This helps determine the cause of the high IOPS.

Certain workloads such as backups, anti-virus scans,

and Windows updates carry a Read/Write pattern. For

example, an anti-virus scan is heavy on read since it is

mostly reading the file system.

Key: datastore|numberReadAveraged_average

Datastore|Write IOPS This metric displays the average number of write

commands issued per second during the collection

interval.

Use this metric when the total IOPS is higher than

expected. Drill down to see if the metric is read or

write dominated. This helps determine the cause of

the high IOPS. Certain workloads such as backups, anti-

virus scans, and Windows updates carry a Read/Write

pattern. For example, an anti-virus scan is heavy on read

since it is mostly reading the file system.

About Datastore Metrics for Virtual SAN

The metric named datastore|oio|workload is not supported on Virtual SAN datastores. This

metric depends on datastore|demand_oio, which is supported for Virtual SAN datastores.

Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts

VMware, Inc. 123

The metric named datastore|demand_oio also depends on several other metrics for Virtual SAN

datastores, one of which is not supported.

n The metrics named devices|numberReadAveraged_average and devices|

numberWriteAveraged_average are supported.

n The metric named devices|totalLatency_average is not supported.

As a result, vRealize Operations Manager does not collect the metric named datastore|oio|

workload for Virtual SAN datastores.

Disk Space Metrics for Datastores

Disk space metrics provide information about disk space use.

Metric Name Description

Diskspace|Number of Virtual Disk Number of virtual disks.

Key: diskspace|numvmdisk

Key: diskspace|provisioned

Diskspace|Shared Used (GB) Shared used space in gigabytes.

Key: diskspace|shared

Diskspace|Snapshot Space (GB) This metric shows the amount of space taken by

snapshots on a given database.

Use this metric to know how much storage space is being

used by virtual machine snapshots on the datastore.

Check that the snapshot is using 0 GB or minimal space.

Anything over 1 GB should trigger a warning. The actual

value depends on how IO intensive the virtual machines in

the datastore are. Run a DT on them to detect anomaly.

Clear the snapshot within 24 hours, preferably when you

have finished backing up, or patching.

Summary Metrics for Datastores

Summary metrics provide information about overall performance.

Metric Name Description

Summary|Number of Hosts This metric shows the number of hosts that the datastore

is connected to.

Use this metric to know how many clusters the datastore

is attached to.

The number should not be too high, as a datastore should

not be mounted by every host. The datastore and cluster

should be paired to keep operations simple.

Key: summary|total_number_hosts

Summary|Total Number of VMs This metric shows the number of virtual machines which

save their VMDK files on the datastore. If a VM has four

VMDKs stored in four datastores, the VM is counted on

each datastore.

Use this metric to know how many VMs have at least one

VMDK on a specific datastore.

The number of VMs should be within your Concentration

Risk policy.

You should also expect the datastore to be well used.

If only a few VMs are using the datastore, this is not

considered a good use.

Capacity Analytics Generated Metrics

The capacity engine computes and publishes metrics that can be found in the Capacity Analytics

Generated group. These metrics help you to plan your resource use based on consumer demand.

Capacity Analytics Generated Metrics Group

Capacity analytics uses the capacity engine to analyze historical utilization and generate projected

utilization. The engine takes the Demand and Usable Capacity (Total Capacity - HA - buffer)

metrics as input and calculates the output metrics that belong to the capacity analytics generated

metrics group.

The capacity analytics generated metrics group contains containers and each container contains

three output metrics, which are Capacity Remaining, Recommended Size, and Recommended

Total Capacity. It also contains the Capacity Remaining Percentage and Time Remaining metrics,

which show the most constrained values of the containers.

For the capacity metrics group, full metric names include the name of the resource container. For

example, if recommended size metrics are computed for CPU or memory, the actual metric names

appear as cpu|demand|recommendedSize or mem|demand|recommendedSize.

Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts

VMware, Inc. 199

Table 1-53. Capacity Metrics Group

Metric Name Description

Time Remaining (Day(s)) The number of days remaining till the projected utilization crosses the threshold

for the usable capacity.

Key: timeRemaining

Capacity Remaining Capacity remaining is the maximum point between the usable capacity now and

the projected utilization for 3 days into the future. If the projected utilization is

above 100% of the usable capacity, Capacity Remaining is 0.

Key: capacityRemaining

Capacity Remaining Percentage (%) The percentage of Capacity Remaining of the most constrained resource with

respect to the usable capacity.

Key: capacityRemainingPercentage

Recommended Size The maximum projected utilization for the projection period from the current time

to 30 days after the warning threshold value for time remaining. The warning

threshold is the period during which the time remaining is green. Recommended

Size excludes HA settings.

Badge Metrics

Badge metrics provide information for badges in the user interface. They report the health, risk,

and efficiency of objects in your environment.

vRealize Operations 6.x analyzes badge metric data at five-minute averages, instead of hourly.

As a result, you might find that efficiency and risk badge calculations are more sensitive than in

previous versions. Badge metrics continue to be published nightly.

VMware, Inc. 208

Table 1-54. Badge Metrics

Metric Name Description

Badge|Compliance Overall score for compliance, on a scale of 100.

Badge|Efficiency Overall score for efficiency. The final score is between 1-100. Where

Green - 100, Yellow - 75, Orange - 50, Red - 25, Unknown: -1.

The score is derived from the criticality of alerts in the Efficiency

category.

Badge|Health Overall score for health. The final score is between 1-100. Where

Green - 100, Yellow - 75, Orange - 50, Red - 25, Unknown: -1. The

Log Insight Generated Metrics

The metrics in the Log Insight Generated group provide information that you can use to observe

or troubleshoot vRealize Operations Manager for failures and to monitor performance.

When vRealize Operations Manager is integrated with Log Insight and metric calculation is

enabled, Log Insight calculates the number of logs corresponding to different queries and sends

them as metrics to vRealize Operations Manager. These metrics are calculated for vCenter objects,

host objects, and virtual machine objects. The metrics can be mapped to a vRealize Operations

Manager object based on the Log Insight field

vmw_vrops_id

, which is constructed based on

hostname or source fields.

Capacity Model for vSAN Objects

The capacity model introduced in vRealize Operations Manager 6.7 now extends the support

for vSAN objects like, vSAN cluster, Fault domains, and Cache/Capacity disks. The Capacity tab

provides Time Remaining data for the selected vSAN cluster, Fault domain, Cache/Capacity Disk

objects. The information is presented in a graphical format.

Definitions for Metrics, Properties, and Alerts

VMware, Inc. 258

Where You Find the Capacity Tab

In the menu, click Environment, then select a group, custom data center, application, or inventory

object. The Object details page appears. Click the Capacity tab.

The vRealize Operations defines the capacity model for the following vSAN resource containers:

n vSAN Cluster

n Disk Space

n vSAN Fault Domain

n CPU

n Memory

n Disk Space

n vSAN Cache/Capacity Disk

n Disk Space

Understanding the Capacity Tab

For the selected vSAN resource, the capacity tab lists the capacity used and Time Remaining until

the associated CPU, memory, and disk space resources, respectively, run out.

n If you select the vSAN cluster, the capacity tab lists the capacity used and time remaining until

the associated disk space runs out.

n If you select the vSAN Fault Domain, the capacity tab lists the capacity used and time

remaining until the associated CPU, memory, and disk space resources run out.

n If you select the vSAN Cache/Capacity Disk Space, the capacity tab lists capacity used and

time remaining until the associated disk space runs out.

The available graph depicts - for your choice of CPU, memory, or disk space - the amount of

resource used, plotted against time. A line on the graph shows 100 percent usable capacity and a

trend line projects how swiftly resource use is approaching 100 percent. The time line shows when

the selected resource is to reach capacity.

Property Definitions in vRealize

Operations

Properties are attributes of objects in the vRealize Operations environment. You use properties in

symptom definitions. You can also use properties in dashboards, views, and reports.

vRealize Operations uses adapters to collect properties for target objects in your environment.

Property definitions for all objects connected through the vCenter adapter are provided. The

properties collected depend on the objects in your environment.

You can add symptoms based on properties to an alert definition so that you are notified if a

change occurs to properties on your monitored objects. For example, disk space is a hardware

property of a virtual machine. You can use disk space to define a symptom that warns you when

the value falls below a certain numeric value. See the

vRealize Operations Manager User Guide

vRealize Operations generates Object Type Classification and Subclassification properties for

every object. You can use object type classification properties to identify whether an object is

an adapter instance, custom group, application, tier, or a general object with property values

ADAPTER_INSTANCE

GROUP

BUSINESS_SERVICE

TIER

, or

GENERAL

, respectively.

Properties for vCenter Server Components

The VMware vSphere solution is installed with vRealize Operations and includes the vCenter

adapter. vRealize Operations uses the vCenter adapter to collect properties for objects in the

vCenter Server system.

vCenter Server components are listed in the describe.xml file for the vCenter adapter. The

following example shows the runtime property memoryCap or Memory Capacity for the virtual

machine in the

describe.xml.

<ResourceAttribute key="memoryCap" nameKey="1780" dashboardOrder="200" dataType="float"

defaultMonitored="true" isDiscrete="false" isRate="false" maxVal=""

minVal="" isProperty="true" unit="kb"/>

</ResourceGroup>

The ResourceAttribute element includes the name of the property that appears in the UI and is

documented as a Property Key.

isProperty = "true" indicates that ResourceAttribute is a

property.

Virtual Machine Properties

vRealize Operations collects configuration, runtime, CPU, memory, network I/O, and properties

about summary use for virtual machine objects. Properties are collected with the first cycle of data

collection. Once collected, the next property collection occurs only when there is data change. In

case of no data change, no property is collected.

vSphere High Availability (HA) failover

resources are insufficient

To resolve this problem, use similar

CPU and memory reservations for

all virtual machines in the cluster.

If this solution is not possible,

consider using a different vSphere

HA admission control policy, such

as reserving a percentage of cluster

resource for failover. Alternatively,

you can use advanced options to

specify a cap for the slot size.

For more information, see the

vSphere Availability Guide. Hosts that

have vSphere HA agent errors are

not good candidates for providing

failover capacity in the cluster and

their resources are not considered

for vSphere HA admission control

purposes. If many hosts have a

vSphere HA agent error, vCenter

Server generates this event leading

to the fault. To resolve vSphere HA

agent errors, check the event logs

for the hosts to determine the cause

of the errors. After you resolve any

configuration problems, reconfigure

vSphere HA on the affected hosts or

Virtual machine has CPU contention

due to multi-vCPU scheduling issues

Virtual Machine experiences a high

co-stop. The co-stop is the amount of

time taken when the virtual machine is

ready to run but is experiencing delay

because of the co-vCPU scheduling

contention. High co-stop occurs when

too many vCPUs are configured

for the virtual machine, and not

enough physical CPUs are available to

manage the co-vCPU scheduling.

Alert Definition Symptom Recommendations

A storage device for a datastore has

been detected to be off.

Storage device has been turned off

administratively (fault symptom).

Ask the administrator about the

device state. The fault will be resolved

and the alert canceled if the device

is turned on. If SCSI devices are

detached or permanently removed,

you must manually cancel the alert.

Datastore has lost connectivity to a

storage device.

Host(s) lost connectivity to storage

device(s) (fault symptom).

The storage device path,

for example, vmhba35:C1:T0:L7,

contains several potential failure

points: Path Element | Failure Point

---------------------------------------

vmhba35 | HBA (Host Bus Adapter)

C1 | Channel T0 | Target (storage

processor port) L7 | LUN (Logical Unit

Number or Disk Unit).

To determine the cause of the failure

or to eliminate possible problems:

Identify the available storage paths

to the reported storage device

by running esxcfg-mpath - l.

For more information, see http://

kb.vmware.com/kb/1003973. Check

that a rescan does not restore visibility

to the targets. For information on

rescanning the storage device by

using the command-line interface

and the vSphere Client, see

http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003988.

Determine whether the connectivity

issue is with the iSCSI storage or the

fiber storage.

Troubleshoot the connectivity to the

iSCSI storage by using the software

initiator:

1 Check whether a ping to the

storage array fails from ESX.

For more information, see http://

kb.vmware.com/kb/1003486

2 Check whether a vmkping

to each network portal

of the storage array fails.

For more information, seehttp://

kb.vmware.com/kb/10037828.

3 Check that the initiator is

registered on the array. For more

information, contact your storage

vendor.

4 Check that the following physical

hardware is functioning correctly:

Ethernet switch, Ethernet cables

between the switch and the

ESX host, and Ethernet cables

between the switch and the

storage array.

To troubleshoot the connectivity to

the fiber-attached storage, check

the fiber switch. The fiber switch

zoning configuration permits the ESX

host to see the storage array. If

you require assistance, contact your

switch vendor. The fiber switch

propagates RSCN messages to the

ESX hosts. For more information

about configuring the fiber switch, see

http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002301.

Finally, check the following physical

hardware: the storage processors on

the array, the fiber switch and the

Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)

units in the switch, the fiber cables

between the fiber switch and the

array, and the array itself.

You must rescan after making

changes to make sure that the targets

are detected. If storage connectivity

is restored for all of the affected host

and storage device combinations, the

fault is cleared and the alert canceled.

If storage connectivity for the devices

indicated is caused by a permanent

loss or change, you must cancel the

fault alert as a workaround. The alert

will then be canceled automatically.
