Products

• VMware Smart Assurance

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:


Smarts IP does not show performance information for all virtual or logical interfaces

Not all virtual or logical interfaces appear in Smarts IP APM console

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Resolution

The virtual or logical interfaces are layered over the physical interface. The current utilization of the physical interfaces is the sum of the current utilization of all the overlaid virtual or logical interfaces. Smarts IP does not implement  the performance instrumentation for every virtual/logical interface. However if you are running SMARTS IP manager version 9.2.2 or above there is an option to get utilization fo VLAN interrfaces.
