Hypervisors

Hypervisors are the hosts contained in Host Aggregates, and represent hosts as present in the virtualized environment on which OpenStack is built. This is a common entity between OpenStack ETL and TrueSight Capacity Optimization ETL. Hypervisors can be of type VMWare Cluster, VMWare Host or KVM Host.

The Hypervisors tab under Cloud OpenStack displays information for all the Hypervisors available on a host in the selected zones. You can access the Hypervisors tab in one of the following ways:

Select Views > All Views > Cloud > OpenStack > Hypervisors.
In the OpenStack > Cloud details page, click the Hypervisors link under the Configuration Data table.
In the Host Aggregates details page, click the Hypervisors link.

This tab contains the Hypervisors table that displays the following information for each Hypervisor in the available zone in the selected cloud:

Hypervisors table: Description of columns

Column	Description	Statistical Type	Metrics
Name	Name of the Hypervisor and link to the Hypervisor details page. For more information, see Infrastructure view.	Last Value	NAME
Host Aggregate(s)	Name of the Host Aggregates that are associated to the Hypervisor.	Last Value	Relationship HA_CONTAINS_HY is used to get the NAME of the host aggregate
System Type	Displays the system type of Hypervisor.	Last Value
CPU Capacity [GHz]	Total CPU capacity of the Hypervisor, measured in Gigahertz.	Last Value	TOTAL_CPU_MHZ
CPU Used [GHz]	Total CPU used by the Hypervisor, measured in Gigahertz.	95th Percentile	CPU_UTILMHZ
CPU Utilization [%]	Percentage of total CPU utilized by the Hypervisor.	95th Percentile	CPU_UTIL
CPU Trend [%]	The daily growth rate of CPU utilization of the Hypervisor.	Trend	Trend based on CPU_UTIL
Memory Capacity [GB]	Total physical memory capacity of the Hypervisor, measured in Gigabytes.	Last Value	TOTAL_REAL_MEM
Memory Used [GB]	Total physical memory used by the Hypervisor, measured in Gigabytes.	95th Percentile	MEM_CONSUMED
Memory Utilization [%]	Percentage of total physical memory utilized by the Hypervisor.	95th Percentile	MEM_UTIL
Memory Trend [%]	Daily growth rate of memory utilization of the Hypervisor.	Trend	Trend based on MEM_UTIL
Ephemeral Storage Size [GB]	Total capacity of ephemeral storage, measure in Gigabytes	Last Value	TOTAL_EPHEMERAL_DISK_SIZE
Ephemeral Provisioned Storage [GB]	Total ephemeral storage provisioned to the VMs in openstack measured in Gigabytes	95th Percentile	TOTAL_EPHEMERAL_DISK_PROVISIONED
Datastore Capacity [GB]	Total capacity of the datastore, measured in Gigabytes.	Last Value	TOTAL_DSTORE_SIZE
Datastore Used [GB]	Total used space in the datastore, measured in Gigabytes.	95th Percentile	TOTAL_DSTORE_USED
Datastore Utilization [%]	Percentage of total datastore capacity used by the Hypervisor.	95th Percentile	TOTAL_DSTORE_UTIL
Datastore Trend [%]	Daily growth rate of datastore utilization of the Hypervisor.	Trend	Trend based on DSTORE_UTIL
CPU Overcommit Ratio	Ratio of memory allocated to the VMs to the total physical memory available in the hypervisor.	Computed based on last values	SUM (VM.TOTAL_REAL_MEM), TOTAL_REAL_MEM
Memory Overcommit Ratio	Ratio of memory allocated to the VMs to the total physical memory available in the hypervisor.	Computed based on last values	SUM (VM.TOTAL_REAL_MEM), TOTAL_REAL_MEM
Ephemeral Storage Overcommit Ratio	Ratio of ephemeral storage provisioned to the total capacity of ephemeral storage	Computed metric	TOTAL_EPHEMERAL_DISK_SIZE, TOTAL_EPHEMERAL_DISK_PROVISIONED
Powered On VMs	Number of Virtual Machines that are powered on.	95th Percentile	GM_ON_NUM
Spare VMs	Estimated number of additional virtual machines that can be placed in the hypervisor, calculated based on the remaining CPU, Memory and Storage capacity. For more information, see Spare VM calculation in Recalculating the spare VM basis.	Computed by AFS using total capacity and 95th Utilizations of CPU, memory, and storage	IND_SPARE_VM
Spare VM basis	Specifies the basis for calculating the number of additional VMs that can be placed in the Hypervisor: TYPICAL or CUSTOM. For more information, see Spare VM calculation in !in Recalculating the spare VM basis.	NA	TYPICAL or CUSTOM
Days To Saturation	The projected amount of time before one of the resources (CPU, MEMORY, STORAGE) in the hypervisor runs out of available capacity. Number of days to saturation for the least available resource is reported here.	Computed by AFS using total capacity and 95th Utilizations of CPU, memory, and storage	IND_DAYS_TO_SATURATION
Bottleneck Resource	Name of the resource that has either saturated or will saturate in the next 30 days. Bottleneck resource can be CPU, MEMORY or STORAGE. The field is blank if none of the resources has saturated, or will saturate.	Computed by AFS using total capacity and 95th utilization of CPU, Memory and Storage	IND_BNECK_RESOURCE
