Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Plan the strategies to monitor and troubleshoot the performance of the enterprise’s virtual computing environment |
1.1 Develop a plan to monitor the virtual environment to ensure its availability and optimal performance, according to the enterprise requirements 1.2 Identify the virtual environment’s critical activity level, and assign resources as needed 1.3 Review the system’s logs and alerts, in order to facilitate virtual environment tuning |
2. Manage virtual environment performance to ensure full resource optimisation |
2.1 Monitor and diagnose the memory central processing unit (CPU) and distributed power management performance 2.2 Review the storage and cluster performance, in order to maximise operational efficiency 2.3 Monitor tasks, events and alarms, and network activity, and make relevant adjustments to ensure optimal operation |
3. Analyse and troubleshoot the virtual environments |
3.1 Review virtual machine capacity, application, storage, input and output (I/O) performance, to identify and resolve any performance issues 3.2 Test, analyse and troubleshoot, identified virtual network problems 3.3 Analyse and troubleshoot, high availability to ensure that the virtual machines are running at optimal performance levels 3.4 Consult with the virtualisation software vendors to provide solutions, where required |
4. Diagnose virtual environment faults and provide solutions |
4.1 Use virtualisation client and server management software tools, to help diagnose any virtual environment problems 4.2 Install and configure external virtualisation management tools, to help diagnose any virtual environment problems 4.3 Use system logs and alerts to collect and analyse errors 4.4 Evaluate problems using log files and alerts |
