2.1.4. Overview of Monitoring Server Operation
ESF Server is used to manage the storage system (ETERNUS DX200 S4). It handles all aspects of storage operation, including configuration
changes, AST settings, and Auto QoS policy settings.
MA Probe collects performance data on the storage systems and servers. It can collect performance data from a variety of sources, including
ETERNUS Probe, VMware Probe, Linux Probe, and Windows Probe.
MA Server stores the performance data collected by MA Probe. It provides long-term archiving of the performance data, enabling analysis of
performance over a period of years.
vCenter Server is used to configure and manage the virtual environments running on the ESXi servers. If a failure occurs on an ESXi server, its
virtual servers are switched over to another ESXi server and automatically restarted.
