Adding an SSL Certificate to the vROps Truststore (Hyper- V)

We recommend adding an SSL certificate for your Microsoft Hyper-V host server to the vROps truststore to help provide an added level of security.

Note Different levels of security can be configured in the Management Pack. The least secure configuration is to set the SSL Config Advanced Setting to No SSL . The next level of security is to set SSL Config to No Verify , and the Management Pack will accept all SSL certificates. For the highest level of security, you can set SSL Config to Verify, and the Management Pack will have to verify the SSL certificate on your vROps system. See: Creating an Adapter Instance (Hyper-V).

VMware, Inc. 6 Management Pack for Microsoft Hyper-V

To add the SSL certificate to your vROps truststore:

1 Obtain the SSL certificate for your Microsoft Hyper-V host server from your Internet browser. Export the certificate as an X.509 Certificate (PEM).

2 Copy the certificate to your vROps machine.

3 Use ‘ssh’ to log in to the vROps machine as the root user, then run the following command:

Linux:

$VCOPS_BASE/jre/bin/keytool -import -alias -file /tmp/ -keystore “$VCOPS_DATA_VCOPS/user/conf/ssl/tcserver.truststore” -storepass -trustcacerts

Windows:

%VCOPS_BASE%\jre\bin\keytool -import -alias C:\path\to\certfile -keystore “%VCOPS_DATA_VCOPS%\user\conf\ssl\tcserver.truststore” -storepass -trustcacerts

Note The is generated by vROps and is located in/storage/vcops/ user/conf/ssl/storePass.properties. Copy the password from thessltruststorePassword= field and paste it in the placeholder.

Parameter Descriptions:

n -alias is a unique name for each key that you add (per host)

n certfile is the location where the cert file was saved

4 Run the reboot command to re-start the vROps machine for the changes to take effect.

Once you have finished Chapter 3 Installing the Management Pack (Hyper-V) and Chapter 4 Configuring the Management Pack (Hyper-V), check the Collection State and Collection Status for the adapter instance on the Solutions page. If they show as Not Collecting or No Data Receiving, respectively, the following troubleshooting topics can help you diagnose and correct common problems with your adapter instance.

Common Error Messages

Errors that are fatal will cause test connection to fail or will cause collection to exit without returning resources.

Adapter and Collector Log Files

You can review adapter errors in the adapter and collector log files, which can be viewed in the vROps UI or in an external log viewer. n Adapter log files are located in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/log/adapters/ SCVMMAdapter/ folder. n Collector log files are located in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/log/ folder.

To set the base log level for the collector in vROps:

1 Navigate to Administration>Logs.

2 Expand the MASTER folder, then select the COLLECTOR folder.

3 Click the Edit Properties icon.

4 In the Root logger level drop-down menu, select the desired option:

a The default logging level is warning.

b To troubleshoot issues, set the logging level to info.

c To view detailed messages, including micro steps, queries, and returned results, set the logging level to debug.

Caution If you set the logging level to debug, log files can become large very quickly. Set the logging level to debug only for short periods of time.

For more information about viewing log files and modifying levels, refer to the vROps online help.

VMware, Inc. 17 Using the Management Pack (Hyper-V) 6

The Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager includes the following out-of-the-box features, harnessing the power of the vRealize Operations user interface: n Resource Kinds and Relationships (Hyper-V) n Inventory Tree (Traversal Spec) (Hyper-V) n Dashboards (Hyper-V) n Capacity Definitions (Hyper-V) n Alerts (Hyper-V) n Metrics (Hyper-V)

This chapter includes the following topics: n Resource Kinds and Relationships (Hyper-V) n Inventory Tree (Traversal Spec) (Hyper-V) n Dashboards (Hyper-V) n Capacity Definitions (Hyper-V) n Alerts (Hyper-V) n Metrics (Hyper-V)

Resource Kinds and Relationships (Hyper-V)

The Management Pack for System Center Virtual Machine Manager creates resource kinds and relationships (associations) for critical resources in your Hyper-V environment.

Resource Kinds

Performance, health, and availability data are collected for the following Hyper-V resource kinds:

1 Host Group

2 Cluster

VMware, Inc. 18 Management Pack for Microsoft Hyper-V

3 Host

4 Virtual Machine

5 Virtual Hard Disk

6 Cluster Shared Volume

Relationships

Relationships among discovered resources are also created by the Management Pack, which are depicted in the diagram below.

Note The dotted line between Host and Host Group indicates a possible relationship as not all Hosts are directly part of a Host Group; the relationship between Host and Host Group only occurs in cases where the Host is not part of a Cluster but is still assigned to the Host Group.

Inventory Tree (Traversal Spec) (Hyper-V)

The Inventory Tree (Traversal Spec) feature in vROps allows you to easily navigate your Hyper-V environment. The hierarchical structure implicitly shows relationships among resources and enables quick drill-downs to root-cause issues.

VMware, Inc. 19 Management Pack for Microsoft Hyper-V

To access your Hyper-V Inventory Tree, select Environment from the top navigation bar, then select Microsoft Hyper-V from the left panel. Click on a resource from the Inventory Tree to populate details about the resource on the right.
