Complexity Level
Current or New Deployment
Condition Additional Notes
Yellow Your deployment includes a
management pack that is listed as
Yellow according to the compatibility
guide on the VMware Solutions
Exchange Web site.
The compatibility guide indicates
whether the supported management
pack for vRealize Operations Manager
is a compatible 5.x one or a new one
designed for this release. In some
cases, both might work but produce
dierent results. Regardless, users
might need help in adjusting their
conguration so that associated data,
dashboards, alerts, and so on appear as
expected.
Yellow You are deploying
vRealize Operations Manager remote
collector nodes.
Remote collector nodes gather data but
leave the storage and processing of the
data to the analytics cluster.
Yellow You are deploying a multiple-node
vRealize Operations Manager cluster.
Multiple nodes are typically used for
scaling out the monitoring capability
of vRealize Operations Manager.
Yellow Your new
vRealize Operations Manager
instance will include a Linux or
Windows based deployment.
Linux and Windows deployments are
not as common as vApp deployments
and often need special consideration.
Yellow Your vRealize Operations Manager
instance will use high availability
(HA).
High availability and its node failover
capability is a unique multiple-node
feature that you might want additional
help in understanding.
Yellow You want help in understanding the
new or changed features in
vRealize Operations Manager and
how to use them in your
environment.
vRealize Operations Manager is
dierent than vCenter Operations
Manager in areas such as policies,
alerts, compliance, custom reporting,
or badges. In addition,
vRealize Operations Manager uses one
consolidated interface.
Red You run multiple instances of
vRealize Operations Manager, where
at least one includes virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI).
Multiple instances are typically used to
address scaling, operator use paerns,
or because separate VDI (V4V
monitoring) and non-VDI instances are
needed.
Red Your deployment includes a
management pack that is listed as
Red according to the compatibility
guide on the VMware Solutions
Exchange Web site.
The compatibility guide indicates
whether the supported management
pack for vRealize Operations Manager
is a compatible 5.x one or a new one
designed for this release. In some
cases, both might work but produce
dierent results. Regardless, users
might need help in adjusting their
conguration so that associated data,
dashboards, alerts, and so on appear as
expected.
Red You are deploying multiple
vRealize Operations Manager
clusters.
Multiple clusters are typically used to
isolate business operations or
functions.
