3 Operational Issues in Large-scale Environments 2

4 Evolving Server Integration and Virtualization Against the backdrop of cost reduction, server integration through virtualization has recently made great advances The trend toward integrating all IT resources of an entire enterprise into one center is accelerating from the perspective of cost reduction. In the enterprise data center, with further cost reduction as its aim, the scaling up of the operating environment is moving along through integration into a virtualized technology-driven environment. Existing system groups Integrated infrastructure/virtualized environment Server integration System infrastructure by business unit Promotion of virtualization Promotion of infrastructure integration 3 3

5 Common Customer Issues Operational issues as a result of scaling up the operating environment System operations have become complex as a result of the scaling up The schedule time increases in proportion to the registered number As a result of integration, linked relationships increase, and the business build patterns become complex As business complexity increases, the tasks required to build businesses and to understand the status have become complex A scheduler is required that can support large-scale operating environments 4

6 Concurrent Startup and Results Management V13.8 NEW Efficient on-demand batch processing Enables concurrent execution of the same job net Execution control Supports startup of on-demand jobs, for which multiple requests tend to be received at the same time Reduces the number of job net definitions, because multiple job nets can be started with one definition Can hold results separately for each execution Branch A Branch B Started concurrently with a single definition Branch C Job net definition 5

7 Expansion of Job Types V13.8 NEW Expands the job types to enable on-demand batch processing Has additional jobs required for on-demand batch processing Pass parameters between jobs Create a more flexible flow that uses decision jobs for branching the flow Use the wait with OR condition to wait for multiple preceding jobs Sets startup conditions for jobs in the flow Job definition Pass parameters between jobs (such as file names) Set startup conditions for jobs in the flow: - Wait for file - Occurrence of message event - Arrival of specified time - Wait for specified time Manage branching and aggregation with decision jobs "Wait with OR" condition from multiple routes You can express the job flow in a job net as is. 6

8 Automation using Systemwalker Operation Manager 7

9 Achieve Stable Operations in Large-scale Environments Business operation records can be analyzed and evaluated Record management Stable operation of jobs Business operation Business scheduling Automated operation of the virtual system Batch business/online business/backups etc. can be scheduled flexibly The operational status of the business can be visually monitored 6:00 22:00 Power on Start physical server Start virtual server Start service Business operation Stop service Stop virtual server Stop physical server Power off Business error recovery Task Link backup Provides total support from automated operation of the entire system through to scheduling of jobs to achieve stable operation of the business system 8

10 Automated Operation of the Business System Through automated operation of the system, greater efficiency of the operation tasks is realized Automatic execution is used, from the powering on of the physical server to the startup of the virtual machine and the business operations Unnecessary virtual servers are stopped depending on the time of day (1) Start physical server (2) Start virtual machine (3) Start business on virtual machine (4) Stop virtual server (5) Stop physical server Systemwalker Operation Manager Virtual machines Virtual machine Virtual machine Virtual machine Virtual machine Application Application Application Application Windows Windows Linux Linux (1) - (5) are executed automatically Physical machines 9

11 Planning and Execution of Business Plan-based automated operations to prevent illegal operations and human errors Standardization of backup procedures by automating the series of operations up to "business completion check and backup" Unnecessary virtual servers are stopped depending on the time of day Automatic execution (business schedule) Stop business Stop virtual machine Automatic backup Business data Backup data * A backup product such as ARCserve is required to perform the backup. 10

12 Visualized Operations Understand the overall operational status using a visual monitoring window Efficient monitoring of the overall operational status using a visual GUI screen Automatic notification of errors via audio or , for example, which prevents problems from being overlooked The difference between the business schedule and execution status can be easily understood Monitoring of the entire system Monitoring per server A summary of the execution status of multiple servers is displayed in one window The execution status is displayed using different colors in a Gantt chart 11

13 Product Excellence A configurable scheduler that provides flexible support for unexpected changes Pre-configured schedules run automatically - and now a superior scheduler that can be fine tuned to handle all business changes is supported Changes in business are inevitable, so it is no longer enough to simply implement an entire system as planned. We have endeavored to not only improve the efficiency of business operations using simple automation, but also to provide a flexible scheduler that can absorb the effects of multiple temporary changes on operations. "I need to perform device maintenance, so a temporary change in the schedule is required, to temporarily run a job at 20:00 tomorrow only, that normally runs every Thursday at 18:00" Temporary changes can be scheduled in advance, specifying the change period from start to finish, so you won't forget to reset it "Because of a problem, I want to temporarily cancel today's business schedule, and once the urgent fix is finished, I want to run the jobs manually and in sequence" The change content is reflected in the schedule immediately, so there are no time wasting tasks required, such as sending back the plan or re-release tasks, to competently handle the unexpected changes Compared to our competitor's schedulers, only one-sixth of the annual man-hours is required to handle operation changes.

14 Features of Systemwalker Operation Manager 13

15 Integrating the Required Functions Integrates the functions required for automatic operation of the system Achieves automation of the entire business system with one product Integrated product means easy installation and environment setup Product name Function Job scheduling (schedule function) Job Execution Control (job execution function) Management console, Web Console Systemwalker Operation Manager Client Task Link Print job net or operational status Server power control File transfer, file operation Automatic action (Windows only) 14

16 Easy System Installation Shortens installation time for a new system and migration towards newer versions New installation: Only one installation is required Schedules and jobs can be batch defined using a policy Adding servers: Additional servers can be batch defined using the existing server environment definitions and job definitions using a policy Version upgrade: The definition information is migrated automatically when installing upgrades The job execution environment is backed up without stopping the business Backup of the environment: Only one installation is required The full functions are batch installed After the installation, an environment is provided that can be operated immediately The definition information is converted automatically during the installation, for both version increases and upgrades The definition information is distributed as a policy, and is applied automatically Definition information Existing server Install Policy distribution Additional server The only required task is distribution, because application is automatic Even if there many servers, the task is simple and the configuration can be completed in a short time 15

17 System Extension is Simple Connectivity with the old version is guaranteed, and long term use is possible Connectivity with different versions is guaranteed, and gradual system extension is also supported Job assets from the old version are guaranteed Product support is watertight, and long term use is possible Coexistence with different versions and system configurations is possible V12 V13 Schedule server V10 The existing system can be used 'as is' LAN/WAN V13.8 V11 V10 V10 Increase in new OS servers Note: The functions that can be used are the same as those provided in the old version 16

18 Flexible Schedule Settings Flexible support for irregular operation patterns Standard patterns are configured in a calendar, and the calendar is recreated automatically every year The business day and holiday shift are configured automatically simply by specifying the operation cycle Holidays can easily be set in a calendar Business that starts on a business day can easily be set using just a calendar Alternate weeks, and cycle startup days occurring every three months, can easily be set It is also easy to configure the setting so that the startup day shifts to the next business day if the startup day is a holiday Irregular operation patterns that do not conform to standard operations are defined as startup day templates Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays are configured as holidays (future agendas are preset) The first "3rd business day" of the month, for example, is specified 17 Irregular operation patterns are defined as startup day templates

19 Support for Business Changes is also Provided in Advance Special schedules are also preset, so you won't need to worry about forgetting to reset them Job and job net operation schedules are managed according to process date The schedule changes are preset, and the processing to reset them to normal schedules is automatic Management of operation records is also performed according to process date The schedule change is implemented in advance "after a specified date", and the changes are reflected to "after a specified date" automatically For "only specified dates", when the specified date is exceeded the reset of the changes are implemented automatically Preset Job A Job B Job B Job C Job D Register Schedule information Up to and including Dec 20 Dec 21 to 31 From Jan 1 Job A Job B Job B Job C Job A Job B Job B Job C Job D Job A Job B Job B Job C Dec 21 Automatic change processing Jan 1 Automatic reset processing 18

20 Easy to Understand Monitoring Window Monitoring all businesses in real time Notifying the administrator All business is monitored in a Gantt chart in real time Checking the schedule status of the business Monitoring the execution status of the business Business errors are notified to the developer automatically by or an event Monitoring business delays and businesses that have been running for a long time Businesses that do not start at the scheduled time Businesses for which the assumed execution time has been exceeded Businesses that do not finish by the scheduled time * This function is only available in Windows. Delays in business startups, and businesses that have been running for a long time, are monitored, and when an error occurs the administrator is notified LAN/WAN Business execution status 19

21 Advanced Job Execution Performance Job delays are prevented via an advanced Job Execution Control function Accelerated Job Execution Control is achieved by controlling job priority and the number of jobs executed simultaneously Jobs are submitted to servers with a low load rate, so the overall load is standardized Using Job Execution Control corresponding to the server spec, all resources are used effectively Schedule server - Job execution - Load distribution 4 Execution server Job net A Job A Job B Job D Job C Number of jobs Job 4 Job 2 Job B Job C Job 3 Queue 1 Queue 2 Queue 3 Job net B Job 1 Job 2 Job 5 Host group A Host group B Host group C Job 3 Job 4 Job B Load: 10% Load: 30% Job C Load: 80% Load: 30% Job 2 Load: 30% Job 3 Load: 10% Load: 30% Finished Running Waiting 20
