CONFIDENTIAL 9



bution

SDDC Manager generates events to inform customers of current system conditions

Examples

Health Server NIC health events

Disk status health events

Switch port health events

Upgrade Bundle download status events

Upgrade operation status events

VMware depot connectivity

Configuration VI / VDI Workload Domain creation and

progress events

VCF configuration backup status events

Security User log in (success or failure)

User log out

SDDC Manager: Events




bution

• SDDC Manager provides an event log view

• Events automatically forwarded to VCF deployed vRealize Log Insight

• SDDC Manager also shows a “Audit Event” view

50 4 9

SDDC Manager: Event Log




bution

12

SDDC Manager: Event Catalog




bution

• Alert is a stateful record of a

problem – Multiple events can be generated

for a specific problem on a specific

resource

– Only a single alert for a specific

problem on a specific resource,

while that problem is outstanding

• Problem Conditions – Health e.g. Server down, ESXi not

responding

– Environmental e.g. VMware software

depot connectivity

– Inventory validation e.g. missing disk

• Alert Catalog

SDDC Manager: Alerts




bution

14

• Clearing Alert• Manually cleared

by administrator

• After clearing of an alert• if same problem is detected

again, another alert raised

SDDC Manager: Alert Management




bution

• SDDC Manager provides health

status for physical infrastructure− Server nodes− Switch nodes

• Node health rolls up component

health − E.g. Server health factors health of

NICs, disks, controllers etc.

• Health status levels aligned with

severity levels for events/alerts

SDDC Manager: Health




bution

▪ SDDC Manager uses alerts to

determine health status

▪ Health status icon allows drill down

into corresponding alerts

SDDC Manager: Health




bution

• SDDC manager domain details

• Shut down the management switch port for a host

• Cause a host issue that is detected by SDDC Manager

• Multiple events are created but only one alert for that issue

17

Demo – SDDC Manager Events, Alerts, Health




bution

SDDC Manager: Intelligent Provisioning

18

• SDDC Manager provisioning workflows use hosts in healthy status

• Management Domain– Automatically created during VCF Bringup

– Bringup workflow automatically selects only healthy hosts

• Workload Domain– Created on-demand by user

– VI and VDI creation workflow automatically selects only healthy hosts

• Workload Domain Expansion workflow also automatically selects only healthy hosts– Applies to all Workload Domain types: Management, VI, VDI




bution

SDDC Manager: Power on System Validation

• Upfront verification during VCF Bringup

• Left shifts remediation before system is

deployed into production use

• Verifies hardware and software against

known good inventory

• Verifies system is in working order and

there have not been any DOAs




bution

SDDC Manager: Power on System Validation

• SDDC Manager alerts generated for

violations / discrepancies

• Reports can be downloaded




bution

SDDC Manager: Ongoing System Validation

• System Validation continued post system bringup: Day N– Full inventory validation daily

– Limited validations multiple times daily

• Validation checks– Physical infrastructure inventory

– Infrastructure health

– Network connectivity

– Software integrity

vRealize Log Insight

23

• Centralized log aggregation and analysis

• Interactive and high-performance searching

• Customized dashboard

• Federated deployment architecture




bution

vRealize Log Insight Automated Deployment

• SDDC Manager automates VRLI deployment– VCF bundle includes VRLI

– VCF bringup deploys VRLI

– 3 medium node VRLI cluster

– Deployed in Management Workload Domain

– vSphere HA enabled

• SDDC Manager automates– VRLI VIP configuration

– Configuration of VRLI native load balancing

• Log Insight UI accessible vRealize Log Insight Cluster

Master Worker 1 Worker 2




bution

SDDC Manager Integration into VRLI

• SDDC Manager events & alerts sent to VRLI

• SDDC Manager logs sent to VRLI

• VCF Content Pack in Log Insight

• SDDC Manager UI launchpoint for VRLI UI

25#PBO2695BU CONFIDENTIAL



bution

Demo - SDDC Manager Integration into VRLI

• Configure notifications for SDDC Manager events/alerts through vRLI

Access vRLI UI through SDDC Manager events view

VCF content pack view in vRLI

In VRLI create a filter for SDDC manager events based on their severity

Create a vRLI alert and configure email notifications for that filter

bution

Automated SDDC Log Collection

• Management Domain log collection configured by default – During VCF Bringup

• Management Domain events & logs collected– ESXi, VSAN

– NSX Manager, NSX Controllers

– VC, PSC

– SDDC Manager events & logs

SDDC Manager automates log transmission from SDDC resources




bution

Automated SDDC Log Collection

• Customer choice for Workload Domain log collection – Selected in SDDC Manager UI

• VI Workload Domain event & log collection– ESXi, VSAN

– NSX Manager, NSX Controllers

– VC

• VDI Workload Domain log collection– Includes logs as in VI Workload Domain

– Horizon View Infrastructure Servers – Connection, Composer & AppVolumes

– NSX Edges: DHCP, Load balancer, DHCP Relay

– Horizon View required SQL, AD and Windows OS

SDDC Manager automates log transmission from SDDC resources




bution

vRLI Content Packs

• SDDC Manager deployed Content Packs– vSphere, VSAN, NSX

– VCF

– Horizon View

– AD, SQL and Windows

SDDC Manager automates Content Pack deployment




bution

Demo – Automated SDDC Log Collection

• Configuration of all components from VCF management domain and a VDI domain in vRLI

• Content pack configuration in vRLI




bution

Workload Domain Capacity Expansion

• Workload Domain Capacity expansion configures additional hosts into the domain• Management Workload Domain

• VI Workload Domain

• VDI Workload Domain

• SDDC manager automates log collection from the additional hosts, for all these

Workload Domain types– ESXi

– VSAN




bution

Demo – Workload Domain Capacity Expansion

• Expand VCF management domain with a new host

• After the expansion, the new host is configured to send logs to vRLI
