HP Insight Control
Storage Module for
vCenter for FC only
HP Insight Control Storage Module for vCenter
HP Insight Control Storage Module for vCenter allows customers who are using vCenter to better
monitor and manage the storage associated with VMware virtual machines. HP StorageWorks
can be added to vCenter, allowing vCenter administrators to list LUN/volume connections,
determine the storage attributes associated with virtual machines, and monitor the status and
health of the arrays.
Features and Benefits:
Monitor the status and health of HP StorageWorks arrays: Administrators managing their
virtual machine environment can get additional information about the health and status of
their HP arrays. This information helps in diagnosing problems, and communicating with
storage administrators on the various storage requirements for the virtualized environment.
1.
Manage LUN / volume connections from VMs and ESX servers to the arrays: As
administrators manage virtual machines, it is often very important that they know exactly
what storage is connected to each, and the location and attributes of that storage within the
SAN. This allows for much more intelligent decisions about VM movement and placement,
and also an increased understanding of what kind of storage is being used.
2.
Understand which storage features are available: Often when allocating storage for a virtual
machine administrators need to match the characteristics of the VM with the attributes of
the storage. A great example is that a "critical" VM would need highly available storage,
whereas a "temp" VM could use non-protected storage. This feature will tell the
administrators what "type" of storage is available to simplify their communication with the
storage administrator (or to easily make the change themselves in smaller businesses).
