What is vCenter Operations Manager collector?


Hi all

Can someone explain what that how Manager vcops collector helps reduce bandwidth constraints. Also where can I download the exe for what can be installed on remote servers windows/Linux.

Thanks in advance.

Collectors really come into play when. 1. you have a large scale environment and a unique collector on the default TIME must be divided or distributed due to the load on the solution.  2. you have firewall restrictions and cannot communicate directly from vCOps to the data source. More likely to security, you get poking a hole in the firewall vC Ops. Accordingly, it is not a popular option and not done is special circumstances.

For the bandwidth needs, it will depend on what adapter you use for data collection. Some adapter query/retrieve more data than is actually used/imported by vC Ops because of filters/blocking/configurations. Some cards also have configurations of amount of threads and the size of the pad/acceleration of data collection applications. The answer is, "it depends." As is well situations, depends on your size environment, latencies, and configuration.

  • vCenter Operations Manager doesn't show any new virtual machines added

    Hi all

    I have a 5.5U2 of vSphere environment coupled with Operations Manager 5.8.4 vCenter in this environment, I have a strange behavior as new created virtual machines are not directly shown in the tree view of the infrastructure. Sometimes they raise within the hour, sometimes, others may need several days to appear.

    If I want an immediate reflection of VMS in vCenter, I have the best "Workaround", I tried to restart the services Operations Manager vCenter virtual machine of the user interface.

    All components are registered in DNS names, I checked that all entries are correct, that is the case. And they can be solved.

    Operations Manager vCenter is secured by a member of MS internal CA of an Active Directory domain.

    After "googleing"I've seen a similar question on hosts that are not visible, but not the VMs."

    Some of you have already experienced this kind of questions?

    Thanks for your comments,

    Michael

    As reported by the VMware support, it's normal behavior with this version of vCOPS. Switch to the 6.x version to solve the problem.

  • How to remove vCenter Operations Manager to the extent of consumption?

    Hello

    I imported data from metering 3.3.2 to 3.4. Collection fails:

    'No info extension Operations Manager for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx vCenter we didn't took a vCenter Server.

    There was a vCops a long time ago, but it has been uninstalled for a long time according to the removal instructions (VMware KB2036389) including the defection of the extension.

    Manage / products a buttons only rebuild and change to vCops, but how can I remove vCops to operate the data collection?

    Note: You mentioned that you had already registered vCOPs/vROPs with vCenter. If this is the case, then you can skip step 1.

    Here are the steps that I followed which allowed me to delete a previously docommissioned vCOPs/vROPs vCLUM server.

    1. make sure that the server vCOPs/vROPs is more entered with vCenter

    2. in the portal web vCLUM, click Manage in the top right

    3. make sure that the products tab is selected

    4. click on the checkbox Show inactive

    5. click on the button delete next to the vCenter your old server vCOPs/vROPs was previously attached (you will get a prompt saying that it will not remove the vCenter if he he already asked for data)

    6. Finally, click Activate next to the vCenter.

    I hope this helps!

  • Updated VMware vCenter Operations Manager tools

    Hello everyone, I just use Citrix Xenserver to VMware vCenter with Operations Manager 5.8.4.  I've looked everywhere and cannot find an answer to this.  Is it possible to update VMware tools in the vCOPS TIME?  I just started my new environment with v8 of Veeam backup and he lets know me that VMware tools are outdated.  The only reason why I ask because, coming from Citrix Xenserver v6.2, whenever a device from the virtual computer is provided by Citrix, you're stuck with the tools provided in this unit until they update the device.

    If it's good to update the VMware tools, it's as simple as opening the console to each virtual machine in the vApp and he tell the ' Install/Upgrade Vmware Tools?  Or is there a more complicated step?

    Thank you

    Brett

    As far as I KNOW, the VMware tools upgrade is not recommended on vCops.

    This breaks the device and you can ignore the message of the VMware tools obsolete.

    Hi all

    Has had a call with VMware Support and the development of consumption measuring team. This is a bug in version 3.4, and there is a solution for this.

    The workaround is to use the user SSO ([email protected]) to connect to vCenter Server to the extent of consumption.

  • Operations Manager certificate expires message during installation

    We strive to vCenter Operations Manager and after I installed it I went to do the initial configuration and had this certificate error.

    "Certificate expired on 25/04/09 05:51. Cannot perform the requested operation ".

    I don't know what its about certificate or how to fix it. Any ideas?

    Check the certificate of the vCenter Server with the IP 10.100.10.27.

    According to what the vcenter was installed originally, it may have a certificate that only had an expiration date of 2 years.

    You should be able to use OpenSSL to check the expiration dates of the certificate.  If you need to generate new certificates, then check this KB:

  • Operations Manager 6.1 5.5 Web client on vSphere link refer to the IP address instead of the FULL domain name

    Hello

    We have a new environment vROps 6.1. Everything works like a charm, except when I get the Web Client vSphere. Hosts and Clusters - monitor - health, I try to click on the "see details in vCenter Operations Manager" and I get sent to the IP address to one of the nodes in the cluster vROps. This translates into a certificate error. We have signed all the certificates for the solution of vROps, but that doesn't help us when the link refers to one IP address. Any way to change the behavior of the link to go instead of the full domain name?

    Thanks in advance for your comments.
