Table 11-1. vCenter Operations Manager System Tools (Continued)
Tool Description
run-jconsole Starts the Java JConsole tool to open the Java application console. You
can use this tool to troubleshoot certain vCenter Operations Manager
performance issues.
NOTE You must install the Java SDK, which includes JConsole, to use
run-jconsole. JConsole is not shipped with
vCenter Operations Manager.
HeartbeatSender Uses a heartbeat to check communication between the
vCenter Operations Manager server and a collector. You typically use
HeartbeatSender to verify the remote collector, but you can also use it
with a local collector. It is installed in the vcenter-
ops
\collector\bin directory.
Reporting Repository Adapter Copies a defined subset of data from the
vCenter Operations Manager FSDB to another database where you can
use the data for reporting purposes.
runvcopsServerConfiguration Estimates how many resources a server can support based on the server
CPU, memory, disk space, and file I/O specifications.
Tools for EMS Smarts integration Includes the vcops_emc.jar, launch-vcops-action-windows.xml,
and Launch-vcops-UI-Ojbect.cmd tools. See the Integration Guide for
vCenter Operations Manager and EMC Smarts.
Check the FSDB and Repair Problems
You can use the FSDBCheck tool to check for and repair problems, such as data corruption caused by a power

directory that you specify.
