VMware Server MOM 2005 Management Pack

Thursday, 28 December 2006 by Michel Roth

Pete Zerger has created a MOM 2005 Management Pack for VMware Server 1.x. this Management Pack includes about 140 event rules and a number of features you'd see in a standard Management Pack.

Here's a quick rundown of features:

� No configuration design (Formula-driven group is auto-populated with VMWare Host Servers so you can import the MP and go back to work.
� VMWare Server Role in State View ("VMWare")
� State-aware service monitoring
� Several event categories, including
- Guest Events - notifies Virtualization Admins of changes in Guest VM state (starts, stops, suspends, resets)
- Hardware Issues - alerts on memory, CPU and disk faults directly affecting VM operation.
- Driver and resource allocation events - Alerts on driver mismatches and errors
- Corruption and Crash Dump event groups
� Alert and Event Views in the Operator Console for Guest Events
� Diagram View to display parent-child relationships of VMWare Host Servers and their VM Guests
� Virtualization Administrators Notification Group for alert recipients (as always, I recommend MOM 2005 Notification Workflow for the most flexible alert notification possible!)
