Hi,
we are migrating from an old data center based of rack servers to a new one based on cisco UCS
my current environment is based on isolated ESXI servers, each server contains a specific environment with an internal router and a dedicated physical switch
most of the traffic is flowing inside the ESXI server
i would like to get a estimate of how much network i/O is flowing in the whole data center virtual and physical (physical means the traffic going on to the physical nics to the switch)
im running vRealize operations 6.1 , i've used the metric under Network I/O / Physical called Usage Rate (Kbps)
on the datacenter object for the physical bandwidth
and another metric under Network I/O / Virtual Usage Rate (Kbps) for virtual traffic
in addition i've used a built in view called Datacenter Networking Usage (Kbps) Trend view
are these sufficient to calculate my network flow in my entire virtual data center?
