VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations™, part of the VCF suite, provides a unified management experience for IT services on the VMware vCenter™ server.
The Everpure FlashArray Management Pack for VCF Operations helps VMware administrators gain better insight into the health of the Everpure arrays in a VMware context so that they are able to assess the health of the environment and identify problems and risks. The management pack provides a comprehensive view of the Everpure arrays, including their storage object data, capacity and performance statistics, and alerts in the VCF monitoring environment.
The management pack is available through the quick reference guide and does not require any special licenses.
Installing the management pack involves installing the Everpure FlashArray solution and then configuring a Everpure adapter instance for each FlashArray or Pure1 instance to be monitored.
Once configured, the Everpure FlashArray adapter begins to query Purity or Pure1 to collect FlashArray object data and alert information.
After the data has been pulled into VCF Operations, the information can be used to analyze capacity and performance statistics, determine the health of the array objects, determine any risks, forecast growth, generate custom workloads, and analyze alerts.
