Diagnostics and Monitoring
Because VPC-VSM runs within a VM, no hardware diagnostics or monitoring are provided. Retrieval of hardware
sensor data (temperature, voltage, memory errors) are accomplished via the IOS-XR monitoring systems.
sensor data (temperature, voltage, memory errors) are accomplished via the IOS-XR monitoring systems.
VPC-VSM monitors and exports vCPU, vRAM, and vNIC usage through existing mechanisms including CLI show
commands, bulkstats and MIB traps. However, an operator may find that monitoring physical CPU, RAM, and NIC
values in the hypervisor is more useful.

values in the hypervisor is more useful.
Because vNICs have a variable maximum throughput, counters and bulkstats that export utilization as a percentage of
throughput may have little value. Absolute values (bps) should be obtained from VPC-VSM where possible; physical
infrastructure utilization should be obtained from the hypervisor or IOS-XR via the ASR 9000 route processor (RP).
