        Support for PowerVM Performance Monitoring
        ==========================================
        
        The IBM PowerVM hypervisor provides virtualization on POWER hardware.
        PowerVM customers can see benefits in their environments by making use
        of OpenStack. This project implements a Ceilometer-compatible compute
        inspector.  This inspector, along with the PowerVM Nova driver and Neutron
        agent, provides capability for PowerVM customers to natively monitor
        utilization and statistics for instances running on OpenStack-managed systems.
        
        
        Problem Description
        ===================
        
        PowerVM supports a variety of performance monitoring interfaces within
        the platform, providing virtual machine and system monitoring data.
        Ceilometer-powervm implements a Ceilometer-based compute inspector for the
        PowerVM hypervisor.
        
        Inspector Description
        =====================
        
        The Ceilometer compute agent provides an inspector framework that allows
        hypervisors to integrate support for gathering instance statistics and
        utilization details into Ceilometer. This project provides a standard
        Ceilometer virt inspector that pulls its data from the PowerVM Performance and
        Capacity Monitoring (PCM) infrastructure.
        
        This inspector retrieves instance monitoring data for cpu, network, memory, and
        disk usage. Interactions with PowerVM PCM occur using the PowerVM REST API
        stack through `pypowervm`_, an open source python project.
        
        This inspector requires that the PowerVM system be configured for management
        via `NovaLink`_.

        End User Impact
        ---------------
        
        The users of the cloud are able to see the metrics for their virtual machines.
        As PowerVM deals with 'disk buses' rather than specific disks, the hard disk
        data is reported at a 'per bus' level (i.e. each SCSI or Virtual Fibre Channel
        bus).
        
        Performance/Scalability Impacts
        -------------------------------
        
        None.
        
        Other deployer impact
        ---------------------
        
        The cloud administrator needs to install the ceilometer-powervm project on
        their PowerVM compute node.  It must be installed on the `NovaLink`_ virtual
        machine on the PowerVM system.
        
        The cloud administrator needs to configure their 'hypervisor_inspector' as
        powervm.
        
        No other configuration is required.

        Future lifecycle
        ================
        
        Ongoing maintenance of the PowerVM compute inspector will be handled by the IBM
        OpenStack team.
