IntroductionTerminologyFamiliarize yourself with commonly used terms.adapterA vRealize Operations Manager component that collects performance metricsfrom an external source such as VMware vCenter or a storage system. Thirdparty adapters such as the EMC Adapter are installed on the vRealize OperationsManager server to enable creation of adapter instances within vRealizeOperations Manager.adapter instanceA specific external source of performance metrics, such as a specific storagesystem. An adapter instance resource is an instance of an adapter that has a oneto-one relationship with an external source of data, such as an EMC VNX storage system.dashboardA tab on the home page of the vRealize Operations Manager graphical userinterface (GUI). vRealize Operations Manager ships with default dashboards.Dashboards are fully customizable by the end user.health ratingAn overview of the current state of any resource, from an individual operation toan entire enterprise. vRealize Operations Manager checks internal metrics for theresource and uses its proprietary analytics formulas to calculate an overall healthscore on a scale of 0 to 100.iconA pictorial element in a widget that enables a user to perform a specific function.Hover over an icon to display a tooltip that describes the function.metricA category of data collected for a resource. For example, the number of readoperations per second is one of the metrics collected for each LUN resource.resourceAny entity in the environment for which vRealize Operations Manager can collectdata. For example, LUN 27 is a resource.resource kindA general type of a resource, such as LUN or DISK. The resource kind dictates thetype of metrics that are collected.widgetAn area of the ESA GUI that displays metrics-related information. Youcancustomize widgets for your own environment.Terminology9

CHAPTER 2Installation and LicensingThis chapter contains the following topics:lllllPrerequisites.12Installing the EMC Adapter . 15Installing Navisphere CLI. 15About adapter instances. 16Uninstalling ESA.22Installation and Licensing11
Installation and LicensingPrerequisitesBefore you install ESA, verify that you have configured your environment according tothe requirements in this section.Software requirementsThe following software is required:lA supported version of VMware vRealize Operations Manager Advanced orEnterprise edition as listed in the EMC Simple Support Matrix. Obtain the OVAinstallation package for vRealize Operations Manager from VMware. Refer to thevRealize Operations Manager vApp Deployment and Configuration Guide on theVMware support page to install the software.ESA does not support Foundation and Standard editions.lSupported versions of EMC systems and minimum operating environmentrequirements as listed in the EMC Simple Support Matrix.lA supported web browser as listed in the release notes for your version of vRealizeOperations Manager.License requirementsYou must purchase the following licenses:lVMware license for vRealize Operations Manager (Advanced or Enterprise).lEMC Storage Analytics electronic or physical license.If you purchase an electronic license for ESA, you receive a letter that directs youto an electronic licensing system to activate the software to which you areentitled. Otherwise, you receive a physical license key.lEMC product licenses.A 90-day trial for all supported products is available with ESA. The 90-day trialprovides the same features as licensed products, but after 90 days of use, theadapter stops collecting data. You can add a license at any time. To installsoftware for trial, leave the license field blank.nnUnity and UnityVSA adapter instances do not require you to provide a licensein the configuration wizard. The ESA license for the Unity and UnityVSAcollector is tracked on the array. In EMC Unisphere , select Settings- Software and Licenses License Information to ensure that the ESA licenseis valid and current.Only one EMC Adapter instance is required for VPLEX Local or VPLEX Metrosystems. You can monitor both clusters in a VPLEX Metro system by adding asingle EMC Adapter instance for one of the clusters. Adding an EMC Adapterinstance for each cluster in a VPLEX Metro system introduces unnecessarystress on the system.System configurationUser accountsll12Storage—To create an EMC Adapter instance for a storage array, you musthave a user account that allows yo
