This section explains the information that infrastructure administrators, service providers and service users can look up.
Tracking the resource status for infrastructure administrators
Infrastructure administrators can use the RC Console to check the status of resources.
Refer to "A.4 RC Console" for details on the RC Console.
Tracking the resource status for service providers
Service providers can use the cloud infrastructure administrator dashboard function to monitor information such as the availability status of resource pools and resource information about virtual platforms (VMs). This function allows users to specify thresholds for the monitored data, so that alerts are notified automatically when the thresholds are exceeded.
For details, refer to "Appendix A To Customize the Cloud Operation Management Dashboard" of the "Systemwalker Service Catalog Manager V14g Cloud Operaion Management Dashboard User’s Guide" that comes with this product.
Metering the resources for service providers
As a way of metering ICT resources, service providers can use the Operation Portal to check how long resources have been used for and how much has been consumed. Service providers can also quantify the amount of service that service users have used. Reports can be generated by tallying how many servers have been used, and how much CPU, disk and memory resources have been consumed.
To display the Operation Portal, perform the following operations:
Start a Web browser.
Specify the URL of the Operation Portal.
The URL format is shown below.
URL: http://<Host name or IP address of the Admin Server>:<80(Port number of the Web server)>/op_portal
The top page of the Operation Portal will be displayed.
