Monitoring Health and Resource Usage
The Global Administrator regularly monitors the system for application resource consumption and
average throughput. Each vADC has an accompanying dashboard that aggregates the status of the
configured vADC. The dashboard is only accessible through the BBI. The Global Administrator uses
the dashboard to verify the health, resource usage, and activity of the vADC. For more information
on the dashboard, see the
Allocating and Removing Processing Power (Capacity Units) and Throughput Resources
As a result of monitoring health and resource usage, the Global Administrator may want to readjust
the amount of processing power and throughput resources allocated per application. These
resources are allocated by assigning capacity units to the vADC.
A capacity unit represents the amount of processing power and throughput that is assigned to a
vADC.
Table 35 lists the total number of capacity units that can be assigned to a vADC, and the maximum
throughput per capacity unit.
Platform Maximum number of CUs that can be
assigned to a vADC
5224 24
Capacity units can be assigned to vADCs regardless of throughput requirements and only for the
purpose of increasing processing power. For example, an application that is assigned a policy that
requires a large amount of processing power does not necessarily require more throughput. For such
an application, you can increase the available processing power without having to adjust the
allocated throughput.
You can assign multiple capacity units to a vADC from the available capacity units in the pool of
global capacity units.
After initially assigning a capacity unit, you can add or remove throughput in 100 Mb increments up
until the amount of available throughput, based on the total amount of your installed throughput
license.
To adjust the number of capacity units, you must first shut down (disable) the vADC. After making
the adjustment, for the change to take effect, you then power on (enable) the vADC.
For more details, see the
System Command Reference. For an example procedure, see
Assigning Initial User Access
The Global Administrator assigns initial access to vADCs, including the vADC Administrator, using the
/cfg/vadc/users/uid
System Command Reference.
Configuring and Maintaining Management Ports
The Global Administrator is responsible for the initial vADC settings, including user access methods.
Additionally, the Global Administrator can control the access method in which a vADC is accessed,
such as limiting access through SSH and/or HTTPS. These settings can be changed by the vADC
Administrator if the Global Administrator allows for this.
For more details on configuring and maintaining management ports in the vADC environment, see
the section on the
/cfg/sys/mmgmt
Command Reference.
