vROPS 6.6 and vSAN

What's New?

Product Enhancements

vRealize Operations Manager 6.6 focuses on enhancing product usability, accelerating time to value and improving troubleshooting capabilities.

• Simplified usability and faster time to value capabilities:
  • New HTML5 user interface provides an easier and consistent experience.
  • The Getting Started dashboard allows for quick navigation.
  • Persona based dashboards provides for answers in one place. Dashboards are separated into categories such as Operations, Capacity and Utilization, Performance Troubleshooting, Workload Balance, and Configuration and Compliance.
  • Out of the box integration with vSAN and vRealize Automation provides quick time to value.
  Watch videos related to the new dashboards that are introduced with vRealize Operations Manager 6.6 here.

• Added Native vSAN management capabilities:
• Allows for centralized management across stretched clusters.
• Ability for complete vSAN management, which includes administering performance, capacity, logs, and configuration and health.

Here are some captures:

1. Log into the admin page and ensure everything is functional.

2. Look for any updates available...

3. Once you are done, log out from the admin page and log in again. Notice the url...

4. As you will notice, the UI is now HTML5 and very different than it used to be. Notice the vSAN related captures.

Note: I guess next time I will actually have a vSAN cluster in place for testing. LOL
