Monitor the required resources as a tenant

As a tenant, in VMware Cloud Director Availability, you can see the required compute resources per source site, per organization VDC, or per replication for failing over the protected workloads in the destination site. With this information, you can estimate your organization VDC capacity and it helps you with provisioning planning.

VMware Cloud Director Availability presents the destination site required resources as the sum of the CPU, memory, and disk capacity provisioned on a failover for all incoming replications.

Prerequisites

• Verify that VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.4 or later is deployed in the cloud site for selecting the Source sites filter.
• Verify that you can access VMware Cloud Director Availability as a tenant. For more information, see Accessing the VMware Cloud Director Availability Tenant Portal.

Procedure

• To see the aggregated required resources for failing over to this destination site, at the bottom of the Dashboard page, under Required resources select one or more Source sites or select All.

  Required resources

  For all incoming replications from the selected source sites, the Required resources aggregates the CPU, the Memory, and the Disk capacity required resources from all the organization VDCs in your organization for failing over all source workloads to this destination site.

  Note: For outgoing replications, to see their required resources, for example, outgoing from site A to site B, log in to site B and from the Source sites filter, select site A. This selection shows the required resources for failing over all the incoming replications to site B from site A.

• To see the resources required by an organization VDC, in the left pane, click Required Resources.

  Organization VDC resources

  The table shows the required resources for each organization VDC in the your organization. In the top-right corner of the page, you can see the combined required resources from all the organization VDCs in your organization.

• To see the resources required by a replicated workload, in the left pane, click Incoming Replications or Outgoing Replications. Then, to see the resources required by the replications, under Show details click Resources.

  Replication resources

  The replications view table shows columns for CPU, for Memory, and for Disk capacity resources required for failing over of each replication.
