20. ESXi Migration

21. VMware ESXi: 3rd Generation Hypervisor Architecture this is a key slide to describe how and why we have evolved our architecture to arrive at ESXi. architecture evolutionVirtualization is a quickly evolving market and as such we have to evolve our products to drive the next phase of computing.Let�s take a trip down memory lane�I�m not sure how many of you had GSX, our first hypervisor architecture, but in the GSX architecture, hypervisor installed on the OS as an application and we relied heavily on the OS for resource management. Of course performance and reliability are jeopardized in that type of architecture. To move customers from virtualizing test / dev apps and really start considering virtualization for their production applications, we knew we needed to re-architect the hypervisor to get rid of its OS handicap. So in 2003, we introduced ESX, which runs bare metal and we evolved it to have the right level of reliability and performance to virtualize production applications such as Exchange, databases, etc. If we had not made the investment in the enabling architecture, virtualization adoption would have been much slower.We are again at a cross roads with virtualization, where we are moving from 10% virtual to a 100% virtual, a world where virtualization is second nature and the datacenter is converted into an elastic cloud. This world requires a light weight hypervisor that is incredibly simple and easy to deploy and manage, and we need to start the next phase of innovation that simplifies deployment and ongoing management of the hypervisor even further. �This is precisely why we started investing in ESXi many years ago. �ESXi is very similar to ESX � in fact they have the same underlying code base (which is about 100 MB) � but ESX architecture also includes a 2 GB service console, which is a stripped down Linux OS (RHEL) that is used for serviceability and partner integration. This bulky OS component comes with a lot of junk than we don�t need�It is difficult to manage, secure, and limits our nimbleness. �In fact, its functionality can be replaced with more appropriate tools that deliver all the benefits without the limitations. What we have done with ESXi is take away this bulky OS, and enhanced the platform with only the serviceability capabilities that we need and have implemented them in a way that is optimal for a distributed Cloud OS. Scripting is now done with remote tools � namely the vCLI and PowerCLI. Partner integration is now API-based instead of agent-based. This allows us to have a small and stateless architecture that is very easy to deploy and manage. So let me go over some of the benefits of the ESXi architecture. ------ Additional background info for interested presenters: Difference between ESX and ESXI: VMware ESX and VMware ESXi are both bare-metal hypervisors that install directly on the server hardware. Both provide industry-leading performance and scalability; the difference resides in the architecture and the operational management of VMware ESXi. Although neither hypervisor relies on an OS for resource management, VMware ESX relies on a Linux operating system, called the service console, to perform�two management functions: executing scripts and installing third party agents for hardware monitoring, backup or systems management. The service console has been removed from ESXi, drastically reducing the hypervisor footprint and completing the ongoing trend of migrating management functionality from the local command line interface to remote management tools. The smaller code base of ESXi represents a smaller �attack surface� and less code to patch, improving reliability and security. The functionally of the service console is replaced by remote command line interfaces and adherence to system management standards. this is a key slide to describe how and why we have evolved our architecture to arrive at ESXi.

22. Converging to ESXi with the Next vSphere Release With the GA of vSphere 4.1 in July 2010 VMware officially announced that starting with the next vSphere our hypervisor architecture will converge to ESXi From the release note: VMware vSphere 4.1 and its subsequent update and patch releases are the last releases to include both ESX and ESXi hypervisor architectures. Future major releases of VMware vSphere will include only the VMware ESXi architecture. VMware recommends that customers start transitioning to the ESXi architecture when deploying VMware vSphere 4.1. VMware will continue to provide technical support for VMware ESX according to the VMware vSphere support policy on the�VMware Enterprise Infrastructure Support�page. To learn more about the ESXi architecture and how to migrate from ESX to ESXi, go to the�VMware ESXi and ESX InfoCenter. Starting from the next release however vSphere will on be avilable with the ESXi hypervisor architecture. This slide shows the release note that we published when we launched vSphere 4.1 last July. ESX will continued to be supported according to our standard policy, however we won�t develop it further and it won�t allow customers to take advantage of the new features that will be part of vSphere future releases. For this reason, as you can see from the note we recommend that any new deployment of vSphere even in the current version are done using ESXi architecture and that customers migrate to ESXi with their upgrade vSphere 4.1Starting from the next release however vSphere will on be avilable with the ESXi hypervisor architecture. This slide shows the release note that we published when we launched vSphere 4.1 last July. ESX will continued to be supported according to our standard policy, however we won�t develop it further and it won�t allow customers to take advantage of the new features that will be part of vSphere future releases. For this reason, as you can see from the note we recommend that any new deployment of vSphere even in the current version are done using ESXi architecture and that customers migrate to ESXi with their upgrade vSphere 4.1

23. How Does A User Plan an ESX to ESXi migration? Visit the ESX and ESXi Info Center Start testing ESXi If you�ve not already deployed, there�s no better time than the present Ensure 3rd party solutions used by your customers are ESXi Ready Monitoring, backup, management, etc. Most already are. Bid farewell to agents! Familiarize with ESXi remote management options Transition any scripts or automation that depended on the COS Powerful off-host scripting and automation using vCLI, PowerCLI, � Plan an ESXi migration as part of vSphere upgrade Testing of ESXi architecture can be incorporated into overall vSphere testing
