Understanding the VASA Provider dashboard : Monitoring VVol datastores by using the VASA Provider for ONTAP dashboard


Monitoring VVol datastores by using the VASA Provider for ONTAP dashboard
You can monitor the performance and view the top five virtual volume (VVol) datastores in your vCenter Server based on the parameters that you select by using the VASA Provider for ONTAP dashboard of the virtual appliance for Virtual Storage Console (VSC), VASA Provider, and Storage Replication Adapter (SRA).
The VVol Datastores portlet provides the following information for the vCenter Server that you select:
VASA Provider supports the linked-mode of vCenter Server. You can list the top five VVol datastores according to space utilized, IOPS, or latency in one of the following orders:
Note: To view the VASA Provider dashboard:
You must enable OnCommand API Services 2.1 or later from the NetApp Support Site.
The IOPS data that is provided by ONTAP is rounded off and displayed on the VASA Provider dashboard. There might be a difference between the actual IOPS value that is provided by ONTAP and the IOPS value that is displayed on the VASA Provider dashboard.
You can click a VVol datastore name to navigate to the details view that is provided by the vCenter Server instance.
If you are registering OnCommand API Services for the first time, then you can view all of the performance metrics data on the VASA Provider dashboard only after 15 to 30 minutes.
You must click the icon to update the dashboard view with the latest available data.
If you have added, modified, or deleted a storage system from your vCenter Server instance, then you might not notice any change in the data on the VASA Provider dashboard for some time. This is because OnCommand API Services takes time to obtain updated metrics from ONTAP.
Read IOPS, Write IOPS, and Total IOPS are separate metrics that are provided by OnCommand API Services. If there is a difference between the Total IOPS value and the cumulative IOPS value (Read IOPS value + Write IOPS value) provided by OnCommand API Services, then the same difference is observed in the IOPS values on the VASA Provider dashboard.
