Mastering vRealize Operations Manager

Which vRealize Operations Deployment Model Fits Your Needs

In this chapter, we will guide you through the design considerations you have to be aware of as part of architecting your solution. This will include the following topics:

  • Design considerations around vRealize Operations High Availability
  • Remote collectors and collector groups, and how they can affect the design
  • Importance of proper vRealize Operations sizing
  • Deployment examples

Design considerations

Let's take a look at some high availability and scalability considerations we must be aware of when designing for vRealize Operations architecture. We will also take a look at what role vRealize Operations remote collector nodes and collector groups can play in a design.

To HA or not to HA?

You have to have a good grasp of the geographical layout of the infrastructure, including remote offices and data centers that you want to monitor.

'You should also consider the number and type of objects for which you want to collect data, which includes the type and number of adapters installed. Determine whether you want to enable high availability.

Based on that information you can determine what type...

Deployment examples

Let's take a look at a few common deployment scenarios:

Example 1:
In this scenario, you have multiple vCenter Server instances in a single data center.

Deploy at least one node, and scale out as needed:

In this scenario, you deploy a vRealize Operations cluster in the main data center. You configure a vCenter adapter for each VMware vCenter Server instance. You monitor all vCenter Server instances from a single product user interface.

In this scenario, you deploy a vRealize Operations cluster in the main data center. You configure a vCenter adapter for each VMware vCenter Server instance in the main data center. You monitor all vCenter...

Seems too complex? Need help?

As you have seen from these first chapters, and as you will see in the next one when we discuss the prerequisite requirements and perform our first vRealize Operations deployment, planning for a proper deployment and architecting a solution that can accommodate the load and complicity of your environment may be a complex task.

The good news is that you can always engage VMware's professional services for some guidance and help to design, implement, upgrade, or migrate your vRealize Operations environment. Make sure to contact your local VMware representative for more info.

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed some vRealize Operations high availability and scalability design considerations. Then we moved on to discuss remote collectors and collector groups, and what they can be used for. At the end, we looked at a few common vRealize Operations deployment examples and use cases.

In the next chapter, we will discuss the deployment prerequisite requirements vRealize Operations has, and perform our first install.
