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
Chapter 9, “Resolving Administrative System Alerts,” on page 119.
