5 PROVISIONING ON VCE VBLOCK SYSTEMS FOR ESX AND BARE METAL CLUSTERS Create policies to match business requirements Automate provisioning of storage and bare metal or ESX clusters Manage the host cluster lifecycle VMAX VNX and XtremIO based Vblock Systems 5

6 WHY INFRASTRUCTURE PROVISIONING? TO ADDRESS INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY DELAYS IT Consumer has to wait for days/weeks Hand-off Hand-off Hand-off For VCE Vblock Systems Virtualize storage and compute resources with ViPR Controller Virtual Pools Add host cluster provisioning with existing storage provisioning in ViPR Controller Leverage UCS automation by using UCS Service Profile Templates to provision blades Provide both full automation through ViPR Controller service catalog and granular control at the API level for custom orchestration 6

7 MANAGE INFRASTRUCTURE LIFECYCLE Define cluster properties Decommission cluster and associated storage Provision a bare metal or ESX cluster and storage Add/remove hosts and storage from cluster Update new/existing clusters in vcenter datacenter 7

8 AUTOMATED STORAGE MANAGEMENT AND PROVISIONING AUTOMATED INFRASTRUCTURE PROVISIONING Automated, policy-based storage provisioning, including data protection Storage management Self-service storage catalog Automated Infrastructure Provisioning ViPR Controller Storage Provisioning ViPR Controller Infrastructure Provisioning System 100 System 200 System 340 System 540 System 720 VCE Vision Intelligent Operations software Specialized Systems 8

9 UNDERSTANDING VIPR CONCEPTS IN-CONTEXT TO VBLOCK SYSTEMS Vblock System Compute System Compute Element Fabric Managers Storage System Virtual Compute Pool Virtual Storage Pool (varray + Tenants + Virtual Pools) Cluster Image Server Compute Image ViPR Controller UCS Blade MDS Switches Storage Array Blade Pool Storage Pool Isolation Zones Service OS Agent OS Installation Image 9

10 DEPLOYING ON VBLOCK SYSTEMS SAMPLE MODEL OS Install Network Management Network Image Server Management Network ViPR Nodes Three (or 5) node cluster Communication needed across management network to Vblock System and Image Server Image Server needs private, OS Install VLAN for PXE boot ViPR Cluster 10

11 CREATE FUNCTIONAL PERSONAS FOR HOST CLUSTER PROVISIONING Administrator UCS Prerequisites Set up UCS and as per VCE Vblock System Logical build guide Create identity pools in UCS Manager Create service profile templates - must be non-updating and must not use UCS blade pools Create private OS install network ViPR Controller Tasks One-time set-up Discover physical components Define Compute Virtual Pools Register compute images (ISOs) Define access controls for tenant/ consumers Tenant/ Consumers Request access to self-service portal View catalog and available resources Automation via Catalog Provision boot LUNS, hosts, clusters and storage Install ESX Elastic Operations: adding hosts and storage to existing clusters vcenter: create, update clusters 11

12 DISCOVER PHYSICAL COMPONENTS UCS - blades and service profile templates VMware vcenters - hosts, clusters, datastores Arrays - storage pools and ports Switches - VSANs and their ports 12

21 HIGHER LEVEL ORCHESTRATION WITH VMWARE THROUGH PLUG-IN FOR VMWARE VREALIZE ORCHESTRATOR Overview Extend vra to ViPR Controller managed storage Cloud Consumer vrealize Automation Service Blueprints High level pre-packaged workflows for common ViPR Controller provisioning activities Building-block workflows for granular storage operations through ViPR Controller Benefits Simplify storage provisioning within IT-as-a- Service initiatives Provides single control point for cloud administrators to create storage-as-a service Request Approval Provision Manage Retire Archive ViPR plug-in for vrealize Orchestrator ViPR Controller Manage the storage lifecycle for business applications 21

22 VIPR CONTROLLER STORAGE WORKFLOWS FOR VRO AVAILABLE OUT OF BOX EMC ViPR Controller > vsphere > Datastore Workflow Used For Create volume snapshot for VMFS Datastore Creates a snapshot of a block volume Delete Datastore and block volume Expand Datastore Share VMFS datastore with cluster Deletes underlying block volume, if no hosts or snapshots If hosts, there is option to delete association If snapshot there is an option to delete associations Expands the underlying block volume and then the datastore Shares VMFS datastore and underlying block volume with cluster hosts Share VMFS Datastore with Multiple clusters Shares a VMFS datastore with more than one cluster EMC ViPR Controller > vsphere > Hosts/Cluster Workflow Used For Delete Raw Disk (RDM) and underlying block volume Deletes raw disk, removes storage from host, then deletes the storage Provision NFS Datastore for Cluster Provision RDM with underlying block volume Provision VMFS Datastore for Cluster Create ViPR file systems, and datastore, and associate them with cluster Creates block volume, associates with hosts and creates RDM for VM Creates block volume, datastore and associate with cluster 22

23 VIPR MANAGEMENT PACK FOR VREALIZE OPERATIONS vrealize Operations Operations Console Performance Availability Capacity Configuration Compliance ViPR Management Pack for vrealize Operations ViPR Controller Overview Import storage topology, metrics and event data from ViPR Controller Pre-configured custom dashboards to view consolidated ViPR Controller storage abstractions and their associated VMs Benefits vrealize Operations correlates the virtual infrastructure with storage metrics from ViPR Controller for end-to-end analytics Within the ViPR Management Pack dashboard, you can visualize anomalies, workload, capacity remaining and reclaimable waste for ViPR Controller managed storage 23
