Preconfiguration Requirements

Eyeglass_Connect_Vblock_Probe_for_UIM_RenderThe Eyeglass_Connect_Vblock_Probe_for_UIM_Render probe has the following preconfiguration requirements:

1. The Eyeglass_Connect_Vblock_Probe_for_UIM_Render probe deploys a WAR file to an existing Nimsoft wasp probe and requires that the Nimsoft wasp and webservices_rest probes are already installed on the Nimsoft Monitor server. The Nimsoft wasp probe is typically deployed as part of the Nimsoft UMP installation. The Nimsoft webservices_rest probe must be deployed manually to the wasp probe. If Nimsoft webservices_rest has been deployed, it will appear on the wasp probe Webapps list.

Eyeglass Connect Vblock OverviewEyeglass Connect Vblock Probes for CA Nimsoft leverage VCE Vision and VMware vCenterTM software to provide a single integration point for VCE Vblock management using the CA Nimsoft Monitor Server and the Nimsoft Unified Management Portal. CA Nimsoft with Eyeglass Connect Vblock offers visualization of all Vblock ™ components and virtual machines with real-time health status, alarm aggregation and component alarm tagging:

Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Monitor: This probe provides inventory, state and alarm collection from Vblock and vCenter.

Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Render: This webapp provides the SupernaNET Converged Dashboard Web Page for Vblock and Virtual Machine visualization.

This subject of this document is the Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Monitor probe and the Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Render webapp.

The primary capabilities of the Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Monitor probe are to:

● discover topology for a VCE Vblock as provided by VCE Vision IO● discover Virtual Machines running on the Vblock as provided by vCenter ● associate the Virtual Machines to the physical blade where they are running on

the Vblock● discover properties of the VCE Vblock components as provided by VCE Vision IO● discover basic properties of the Virtual Machines as provided by vCenter● bring into Nimsoft the alarms and component status for the Vblock

components as provided by VCE Vision IO ● bring into Nimsoft the alarms and status for the Virtual Machines running on

the Vblock as provided by vCenter

Eyeglass Connect Vblock Architecture

This section contains an overview of the probe architecture for Eyeglass Connect Vblock which is comprised of 2 components: Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Monitor and Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Render.

Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Monitor is a connector between Vblock and vCenter and Nimsoft. It collects the inventory and state information from these devices and passes it to the SupernaNET Converge Dashboard. It also collects alarm information from these devices and passes it to Nimsoft.

Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Render is a webapp that runs on the Nimsoft wasp web server. As part of the deployment of the Eyeglass Connect Vblock probes, the SupernaNET Converge Dashboard web page must be configured on the Nimsoft interface and associated to the Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Render webapp. The Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Render webapp has a dependency on the webservices-rest webapp having been installed and running on the same wasp probe where the Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Render webapp is running.

The data flow between Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Render, Nimsoft and Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Monitor and the related protocols are illustrated in the figure below.

Troubleshooting and FAQsThis section contains troubleshooting information for the Eyeglass Connect Vblock probes.

This section contains the following topics:

Vblock Inventory not Collected

Unable to Load Licenses

No Vblocks Displayed

No Vblock Alarms in Dashboard or Nimsoft Alarms windows

Converged Dashboard Display Area Too Small

Vblock Inventory Not CollectedAssumptions:

● SupernaNET.Converge.Monitor probe deployed to Nimsoft robot with Vblock/Vision connectivity

● SupernaNET.Converge.Render probe deployed to Nimsoft wasp probe● SupernaNET.Converge licenses deployed● Vblock/Vision and Vcenter provisioned on SupernaNET.Converge

Problem:

In the SupernaNET Converge Dashboard, a Vblock that was added is permanently displayed with a spinner and the associated inventory tree is not populated.

Troubleshooting and FAQs 25

Page 24: CPU, Memory and Disk Monitor - CA Technologies · Web viewDocumentation Changes Converged Dashboard Display Area Too Small Software Requirements Documentation Changes Converged Dashboard

Converged Dashboard Display Area Too Small

Troubleshooting:

1. Refresh the SupernaNET Converge Dashboard page. Dashboard may not have been updated after successful completion of inventory.

2. Determine elapsed time since Vblock was added. Vblock inventory may take 30 - 90 minutes depending on the state of the system when the Vblock was added:

● Was inventory collection task in progress when Vblock was added? The in-progress inventory task has to complete before inventory for a new vblock is added.

● How many Vblock inventories are being completed simultaneously.

3. Look in Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Monitor log file and determine whether there was an inventory failure. You will see this almost immediately after NDEUpdate task starts with an entry in main.log that looks something like this:

2013-11-04 15:39:14,898 NDEUpdateTask:collectData [211] Failed to get Inventory Data. 2013-11-04 15:39:14,898 RefreshNEData:doDataRefresh [183] Could not sync inventory for new nodes - Failed to get Shelf Data - Inventory failed

Search the Eyeglass Connect Vblock_Monitor log for an entry like

Server supports System Library false

which indicates that there is a problem with connectivity to Vision. This log most often indicates a DNS problem where it is not possible to resolve the Vision IP address to its FQDN.

Troubleshooting Steps for Vision Connectivity Issue:

1. Confirm that there is an entry in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file for the Vision IP and FQDN ON THE SERVER WHERE SUPERNANET.CONVERGE.MONITOR is running. For example, an entry such as:

10.10.10.10 fm-nimsoft.internal.company.net

26 CPU, Memory and Disk Monitor

Page 25: CPU, Memory and Disk Monitor - CA Technologies · Web viewDocumentation Changes Converged Dashboard Display Area Too Small Software Requirements Documentation Changes Converged Dashboard

Converged Dashboard Display Area Too Small

If it is not in the host file - add it. Next inventory should pick it up.

2. On the server where SupernaNET.Converge.Monitor is running execute following command

nslookup <Vision FQDN>

This should return the IP address of the Vision provisioned in SupernaNET.Converge if the host name and DNS are properly configured.

3. On the server where SupernaNET.Converge.Monitor is running open a browser and enter the URL:

https://10.10.10.10:8443/fm

where 10.10.10.10 is replaced with IP address provisioned in SupernaNET.Converge for Vision

You should be redirected from IP address to the Vision FQDN and then after entering credentials (default is admin/dangerous) see browser return like this:

<slib>

<link href="https://fm-nimsoft.internal.company.net:8443/fm/vblocks" rel="children" type="application/xml"/>
