What to do next
Display and override the analysis seings for the Datastore objects that your new policy will monitor.
Override the Analysis Settings for the Datastore Objects
Display and override the analysis seings for the Datastore objects that your new policy will monitor.
In this step, you override the capacity remaining and time remaining seings for your new policy, and
override the capacity score symptom thresholds so that vRealize Operations Manager triggers an alert and
noties you of potential problems with the capacity of your Datastore objects.
Prerequisites
Create your policy and select the base policies to inherit and override the seings for your new policy. See
“Create Your Policy and Select a Base Policy,” on page 95.
Procedure
1 In the policy workspace, click Analysis .
2 Click the Show changes for drop-down menu, click vCenter Adapter - Datastore, and click the Show
object type lter.
The vCenter Adapter - Datastore object type appears in the Object types list, and the analysis seings
for Datastore objects appear in the right pane. The policy elements include thresholds and seings for
all of the analysis capabilities, such as Workload, Stress, Usable Capacity, and so on.
3 Click the policy element override buon for the Capacity Remaining and Time Remaining element to
turn on this policy element.
The buon changes to a check mark, and the policy element becomes active so that you can override the
seings.
4 Click and drag the seings on the Capacity Score Symptom Threshold slider to 10% for warning (red),
15% for caution (orange), and 20% for normal (green).
When these thresholds are violated for the Datastore objects in your environment,
vRealize Operations Manager triggers an alert and noties you of a potential problem with the capacity
of your Datastore objects.
5 Click the policy element override buon for the Usable Capacity element to turn on this policy element,
click the arrow to expand the policy element view, and select the Use High Availability (HA)
 check box.
When you use High Availability, you ensure that vRealize Operations Manager provides enough
resources for your Datastore objects to handle throughput and potential loss of data.
What to do next
Enable the disk space aributes for datastore objects.
Enable Disk Space Attributes for Datastore Objects
Enable the aributes for vRealize Operations Manager to monitor the disk space of your production
datastore objects.
In this step, you enable vRealize Operations Manager to monitor and collect the disk space properties
aribute from the Datastore objects in your environment.
Prerequisites
Override the analysis seings for your Datastore objects. See “Override the Analysis Seings for the
Datastore Objects,” on page 96.
