Hi, we run a mixed environment consisting of about 11 VMware ESX4i servers and 2 Hyper-V R2 servers. The farm is in the process of growing. We have been using the Hyperic monitoring solution to successfully manage our ESX environment. I would like to know what the plans are for agentless Hyper-V management/performance capturing of virtual machines in the same way as the VI3 plugin in does for VMware ESX. I would like to see a single solution to our monitoring as the current lack of Hyper-V plugin means we have to run with multiple monitoring solutions (such as SCOM for the Hyper-V hosts).
Any ideas?
I just want to confirm that what we are looking for is not full management of Hyper-V servers, we are looking for CPU, Memory, + disk usage at a Hyper-V server and guest level in the same way the vi3 interface provides for ESX. Many clients like ourselves will always be in the situation due to various interdepartmental political issues where there is unfortunately a need to run both ESX and Hyper-V rather than ESX overall. To have a high level view of the entire infrastructure is very important. Any ideas on whether it is feasible to create a Hyperic plug-in similar to vi3 except for Hyper-V?
