Summary
This chapter covered the topics around monitoring the performance considerations for the vSphere environment.

There was a review of how vCenter uses Java, and how to change the configuration to obtain the best performance. The chapter covered the issue of performance data missing from vCenter on the host and how to resolve this problem by using different methods.
The next chapter will cover the troubleshooting of storage devices. Issues, such as deleting the virtual machine snapshot that has locked the files and is preventing the administrator from performing the cleanup, shall be discussed.
