Virtualization Workload Monitoring In Guest Perspective Host Perspective Virtual Machine Host Virtual Machine Ops Mgr Agent Virtualized Workload Operations Manager Agent Virtual Machine Manager Agent It’s a workload Virtual Machine is a computer! Host Perspective: * Virtualization is a new server workload, but with similar monitoring needs as existing workloads. * Virtual Machine is a component of the virtualization stack.

Server Virtualization Management Pack Server Virtualization Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007 provides the following: Discovery and monitoring of all Virtual Server and Virtual Machine Manager Components Alerts on job and component status change Reports for managing and maintaining a virtualized environment Virtualization environment diagram view

Reference Slides The following slides are here purely for your reference after the event...

What is Virtualization? Virtualization is the isolation of one computing resource from the others: Traditional software stack Component isolation with Virtualization Virtual Applications Any application on any computer on-demand Applications installed to Specific hardware and OS Virtual Presentation Presentation layer separate from process Interface bound to process Operating System assigned to specific hardware Virtual Machine OS can be assigned to any desktop or server Storage assigned to specific locations Virtual Storage Storage and backup over the network Network assigned to specific locations Virtual Network Localizing dispersed resources Virtualization results in more efficient resource utilization, and enables greater flexibility and simplified change management
