A customer's environment consists of two HPE Synergy frames running VMware vSphere, HPE FlexFabric 5700...

When using HPE InfoSight with VMVision to analyze end-to-end latency in a VMware vSphere environment connected to HPE storage solutions, the following components are displayed:

iSCSI network (SAN): InfoSight with VMVision provides insights into the performance of the storage area network (SAN) layer, specifically the iSCSI connections that are used for data transfer between the storage array and the compute infrastructure.

Storage: The storage component of the stack, which includes the HPE Nimble HF-series array, is monitored for performance metrics such as latency, throughput, and IOPS. InfoSight analyzes these metrics to identify potential bottlenecks and optimize storage performance.

Host: The host component refers to the VMware vSphere hosts running on the HPE Synergy frames. InfoSight provides detailed visibility into the performance of these hosts, including CPU, memory, and I/O operations, helping administrators to identify and resolve performance issues at the host level.

These components are critical for comprehensive performance management and troubleshooting, ensuring optimal operation of the entire solution stack.
