Performing Basic System
Administration Tasks 8
vCenter Operations Manager administrators monitor system operations and perform basic system
maintenance tasks, such as starting and stopping vCenter Operations Manager services. If a problem occurs
that requires VMware assistance, an administrator can create a support bundle and send it to VMware technical
support for analysis.
System administrators are also responsible for monitoring and responding to administrative alerts. See
