VMware – Blue Medora partner to expand vCOps • In 2013 VMware and Blue Medora signed
an agreement to transfer the legacy VMware ‘Adapter’ for NetApp to Blue Medora
• VMware will End-‐of-‐Support (EOS) the
legacy Adapter for NetApp in March 2015 • Product has been renamed the Blue
Medora VMware vCOps Management Pack for NetApp Storage
• As part of the partnership agreement, Blue Medora will provide exisMng VMware vCOps customers that were running the legacy Adapter for NetApp in producMon, as of May 2014, transiMon producMon licenses for the Blue Medora version along with free unlimited support & maintenance through March 2015
• By April 1st, 2015 customer must choose to either purchase full licenses from Blue Medora OR cease using the Blue Medora vCOps MP for NetApp Storage
• Blue Medora is providing substanMal incenMves for customers to upgrade prior to 2015

How the MP for NetApp Storage extends VMware vCOps
§ Introduces 9 NetApp-‐focused vCOps Resource Kinds • NetApp System, NetApp Volume, NetApp Aggregate, NetApp LUN,
NetApp Cluster, NetApp Disk, NetApp Qtree, NetApp vFiler, and NetApp Storage Virtual Machine
§ Extends vCOps by adding nearly 800 NetApp storage metrics including
numerous syntheMc metrics not available within NetApp DFM/OnCommand § Provides comprehensive rela=onship mapping func=onality
• Between NetApp Storage resource kinds themselves • Between NetApp Storage and VMware infrastructure components
• With NetApp LUN to VMware Datastore mapping, all the other VMware relaMonships to the ESX Host, Datastores, Cluster, etc are provided
§ Adds 10 NetApp Out-‐of-‐the-‐Box Dashboards designed for to help visualize
predicMve analyMcs, troubleshooMng, diagnosMcs, and analysis

Why the vCOps MP for NetApp is a game changer
VISIBILITY INTO VMWARE RUNNING ON NETAPP ISN’T OPTIONAL We’ve fused VMware’s market leading cloud monitoring plaAorm, vCenter OperaCons Manager, with NetApp Storage to unlock unprecedented views into VMware on NetApp health, availability, performance, and capacity.
One tool Unprecedented end-‐to-‐end management visibility into both VMware workloads as well as non-‐virtualized workloads running on NetApp via VMware vCOps.
Every team Monitor VMware on NetApp health, performance, availability, & capacity as well as predicMve analyMcs and anomaly detecMon.
Every technology You’re already leveraging vCOps, let’s make it even befer. vCOps is highly extensible and we’re here to show that off.

vCOps MP for NetApp Storage Technical Details
§ Remote agentless data collecMon
§ Collects data using NetApp Manageability SDK
§ UMlizes hfp/hfps to connect to NetApp DFM/OnCommand
§ Performance metric collecMon must enabled within NetApp DFM/OnCommand
§ CredenMal with read-‐only access to DFM required
25 25
vCOps MP for NetApp Storage Pre-‐requisites
§ VMware vCOps Advanced & Enterprise EdiMons • v5.8+
§ NetApp DFM / OnCommand • 5.1.x • 5.2.x
26 26
How it works
§ The NetApp adapter is an embedded adapter that leverages NetApp Manageability SDK calls to collect NetApp-‐based metrics from the OnCommand Unified Manager Core interface.
§ Requires a NetApp Adapter Instance resource in vCenter OperaMons Manager. The Adapter Instance acts as a data collecMon trigger and the NetApp resources represent various NetApp enMMes and their components.
§ Uses afribute packages that you assign on a global or NetApp resource-‐specific level to determine which metrics to about your NetApp devices.
