Measures reported by vCldOrgVdcTest

An Organization vDC (Org vDC) is a subset or an allocation from the Provider vDC (PvDC). The resources that are provided by the PvDC are consumed by the Org vDC. Organization vDCs inherit the resource types - i.e., CPU, Memory and Storage types - from the Provider vDC. Whenever an Org vDC is created within vCloud Director, a Resource Pool is then subsequently created within vSphere under the PvDC Resource Pool (if mapped correctly should be created under the cluster or root resource pool).

This test reports the current status of each Org vDC on the vCloud Director, reveals the enabled and disabled ones, and indicates the resource allocation and resource usage of every Org vDC. This way, you can quickly identify those vDCs that contain resource-intensive VMs or vApps.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates the status of this organization vDC.   The values this measure can report and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Creation failed -1
Not ready 0
Ready 1
Unknown 2
Unrecognized status 3

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above while indicating the current status of this organization vDC. However, in the graph of this measure, the status is indicated using only the Numeric Values listed in the above table.

Enabled Indicates whether/not this organization vDC is currently enabled.   This measure reports a value Yes if the provider vDC is enabled and a value No if otherwise.

The values this measure can report and their numeric equivalents are available in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
No 0
Yes 1

Note:

This measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not this organization vDC is enabled. However, in the graph of this measure, the states will be represented using their corresponding numeric equivalents only.
No_of_vms Indicates the number of VMs that are currently using this organization vDC. Number  
No_of_vapps Indicates the number of vApps that are currently using this organization vDC. Number  
Cpu_used Indicates the amount of CPU that is currently in use in this organization vDC. Mhz A very high value for these measures indicates the excessive usage of an Org vDC by VMs and vApps. Compare the value of this measure to isolate the CPU-hungry Org vDCs.
Cpu_used_percent Indicates the percentage of CPU resources in this organization vDC that is currently in use. Percentage
Cpu_limit Indicates the maximum CPU resource that is allocated for this organization vDC. Mhz  
Cpu_allocated Indicates the amount of CPU of this organization vDC that is allocated to the VMs. Mhz  
Cpu_overhead Indicates the CPU units that are allocated to the vShield Manager for connecting to the VMs that are running within this organization vDC. Mhz  
Memory_used Indicates the amount of memory that is currently in use in this organization vDC. MB A very high value for this measure indicates the excessive usage of the memory resources in an Org vDC by VMs and vApps. Compare the value of this measure to isolate the memory-hungry Org vDCs.
Memory_limit Indicates the maximum memory resource that is allocated for this organization vDC. MB  
Memory_used_percent Indicates the percentage of memory that is currently used in this organization vDC. Percentage A very high value for this measure indicates the excessive usage of the memory resources in an Org vDC by VMs and vApps. Compare the value of this measure to isolate the memory-hungry Org vDCs.
Memory_allocated Indicates the amount of memory that is allocated to the VMs from this organization vDC. MB  
Memory_overhead Indicates the amount of memory that is allocated to the vShield Manager for connecting the VMs to this organization vDC. MB  
Storage_used Indicates the amount of storage space that is currently in use in this organization vDC. GB A very high value for this measure indicates the excessive usage of the storage space in an Org vDC by VMs and vApps. Compare the value of this measure to isolate the Org vDCs that could potentially require more space.
Storage_limit Indicates the maximum storage space that is allocated to this organization vDC. GB  
Storage_used_percent Indicates the percentage of storage that is currently used in this organization vDC. Percentage A very high value for this measure indicates the excessive usage of the storage space in an Org vDC by VMs and vApps. Compare the value of this measure to isolate the Org vDCs that could potentially require more space.
Storage_allocated Indicates the amount of storage units of this organization vDC that are allocated to the VMs. GB  
Storage_overhead Indicates the amount of storage that is allocated to the vShield Manager for connecting the VMs to this organization vDC. GB
