ViPr SRM and Oracle VM
Hi,
I wounder if and then if so when Vipr SRM will be able to collect info from inside Oracle VM? So that it would be possible to trouble shot and collect Chargeback figures also for the virtual servers inside Oracle VM. In a perfekt world it would be as easy as it is with Vmware VCenter but I assume it is harder as it is an Oracle product.
Does any one know? Cause I have a lot of machines now beeing migrated into Oracle VM plattform and I then chargeback is again a hard thing to report as I am totaly blind inside the Oracle VM interface.
Many thanks in advance
Gunnar

Can you educate me on how we would do chargeback? I thought that requires some knowledge of the storage. With VMware, I believe the host device is mapped to the datastore; if we don’t support the underlying Hypervisor, how would we know type of storage service level the datastore represents? I would guess Oracle VM is the same. I don’t see how this works. Maybe I am missing something about chargeback? Or do you somehow group datastores and define SLs at that level—seems unnatural. ☹

How do we discover the virtual hosts as physical then? That sounds as an interesting solution in the mean time.

Oracle/Sun virtualization support is not on our near-term roadmap, though it is something we would eventually like to provide. In the meantime, you could discover the VMs as physical hosts. You would not be able to see the relationships between VMs and their underlying physical servers, but you could collect performance and capacity data to use for chargeback.

You can use the same Generic-RSC collector to discover the OVM virtuals. Setup of the discovery process of the OVMs is exactly the same as for physical Solaris servers. The only thing is the OVMs are classified as a HostType of Host instead of VirtualMachine.
