Using the Cisco UCS Manager Adapter

This chapter includes the following sections:

Discovering the Resources Manually

From the Cisco UCS Management Pack, Release 2.0(3), you can manually discover the objects and select the resource kinds or the resources to be discovered and for which metrics must be collected.

Note

The following limitations occurs while collecting the metrics manually:

Metrics for port channels, such as the UCS FI Eth port channel, UCS FI FC port channel, and UCS FI FCoE port channel are collected when UCS FIs are selected for collection
Metrics for UCS service profiles are collected when UCS servers are selected for collection
Inventory is established when the immediate parent of an object is selected for collection

Before you begin

Select the Auto Discover New Resource value as False. For instructions on how to configure an adapter instance of the UCS Manager adapter, see Creating and Editing Cisco UCS Manager Adapter Instances.

Procedure

Step 1

Access the Operations Manager web UI.

Step 2

For the release version vROps 8.6 and later, navigate to Environment > Inventory.

Note

For the release version vROps 8.18 and later, navigate to Operations > Configuration > Inventory Management > Manual Discovery.
For the release version vROps 8.5 and earlier, navigate to Administration > Inventory.

Step 3

From Inventory, expand Adapter Instances > UCS Manager Adapter.

Step 4

From the list, select the adapter instance for which resources must be discovered.

Step 5

Click the Discover Objects icon.

Discover Objects page appears.

Step 6

Review and complete the following:


Name	Descriptions
Collector	Lists the available collector or the collector groups.
Adapter Type	Lists the available adapter types.
Adapter Instance	Lists the available adapter instances.
Discovery Info	Select UCSM Resource Discovery.
Only New Objects	Whether to discover new objects or discover and list all the objects.

Step 7

Click Ok.

Data Collection

During each collection cycle the adapter retrieves metric values, events and relationships from the UCS domain.

The UCS Manager adapter collects the following statistics from the UCS domains.

UCS Manager Alerts in Operations Manager

The Operations Manager generates events based on the type of fault generated by the Cisco UCS Manager. The adapter generates system degradation events for each fault in Cisco UCS Manager. These events are used as symptoms to generate alerts in Operations Manager which can be viewed on the alerts widget on the UCSM Overview dashboard. The adapter supports all UCS Manager faults except the threshold faults, faults with info severity, FSM, or configuration type.

To view the details of an alert, double click an alert from the alerts list on the UCSM Overview dashboard. The alerts can also be viewed from the Alerts tab. You can view the details, such as the reason to generate alert, its impact on the UCS objects, and recommended actions to handle the alert.

Note

Although the faults cleared from the UCS Manager move to the inactive state, but they are stored and displayed in the vRealize alert widget. However, you can customize the view to exclude inactive faults from the display.

With the alerts generated for UCS Manager faults, the following alert is also generated:

Server Power State Change alerts

Server Power State Change Alerts

A server power state change alert is generated when the power state of the UCS server changes from healthy to unhealthy state. For example, when the power state is changed from On to Off state, then an alert is generated. The UCS server is considered as healthy when the power state of the server is either On, Off, or OK. Any other power state is considered as unhealthy state.

Displaying Relationship Between Physical and Virtual Infrastructure

Operations Manager displays the relationship between the UCS server and the ESXi hosts managed by the vCenter.

If you create an adapter instance for the UCS domain containing the blade or rack servers running the ESXi hosts, it automatically correlates the service profiles associated with the blades to the ESXi hosts. Also, it establishes a parent-child relationship between the service profile and the ESXi hosts.

This provides a view of the complete virtual and physical infrastructure in the relationship widget. Also, enables you to analyze the impact of the UCS component health on the virtual infrastructure running on it.

Using the Cisco UCS Manager Adapter

Cisco UCS Management Pack Dashboards

Once you deploy the Cisco UCS Management Pack adapter, the following dashboards are displayed in the vRealize Operations Manager. From these dashboards, you can monitor all the resources discovered by the adapter.

UCSM Overview
UCS Health Tree
UCS Fabric Interconnect Traffic Statistics
UCS Power and Temperature Summary
UCS Server Motherboard Statistics

Note

For the release version vROps 8.6 and later, to view the dashboards, navigate to Visualize > Dashboards.
