Data Collection is Necessary for IP re-addressing • We’ve learned from previous data collection efforts and have a process to pre-populate all data requests with previously collected information. This will minimize the level of effort required to complete the data collection • The data will be stored so that it may be leveraged by future initiatives to reduce the time it takes to plan and deploy projects. (For example, IP re-addressing data will be shared with the enterprise architecture group) • Data collection efforts will focus on application dependencies: • Hard coded network references and addresses • Internal/external servers • Client/server relationships • Data will be used to: • Plan and develop IP re-addressing schedule • Create dependency maps between systems • Promote a common understanding between VITA and agencies regarding application dependencies when planning upgrades and changes to the environment • Assist in moving servers to the new MPLS network
IP Data will be Collected through Data Collection Tools and a Tailored Survey Questionnaire • Data collection tools - will create an application dependency map of our server environment • Lumeta's IPsonar® - will trace the path of data to provide a comprehensive network topology from an application connectivity perspective • EMC Smarts Application Discovery Manager - will provide an end-to-end map of the relationships and dependencies of applications, servers, and devices • Tailored survey questionnaire – We need to utilize agency resources to validate the collected data. The questionnaire will be modified to eliminate questions where the tool has already provided the data
The Data Collection Tools will not Collect any Proprietary and Sensitive Data • Lumeta's IPsonar® • No sensitive data is collected other than network infrastructure information • The information collected by the tool is stored in the appliance which is a hardened Linux platform with access control that requires a configurable user ID and password for access • The interface is web based and data in motion is encrypted using https • EMC Smarts Application Discovery Manager • Collects information about hosts, services, dependencies, usage, demand, tables, and URLs • Does not capture usernames, passwords, transaction details, or other sensitive data
IP re-addressing Agency Timeline (approximate) 1 2 3 5 6 4 Hold plan validation meeting (technical staff) Change IP addresses on servers Test applications to ensure they are working properly Hold data validation meeting (technical staff) Collect IP re-addressing data using data collection tools Hold kickoff meeting 2-8 Hours Per Application* 2 Hours 6-9 Weeks* 2 Hours 1 Hour 1-2 Hours* 7 Total Time: 3 Months* IP addresses successfully changed! *Depends on the number of agency servers and size of agency
IP re-addressing Request for Agency Time (approximate) • Data Validation Meeting (Total time required: 2 hours) • Present data discovered to date (tool output) • Ask questions from tailored survey questionnaire • Answer agency questions and exchange POC information • Plan Validation Meeting (Total time required: 1 hour) • Validate IP re-addressing plan • Review resource groupings created from dependency maps • Align IP re-addressing schedule with agency resources/constraints • Application Testing (Total time required: 2-8 hours per application) • Document comprehensive test cases of application functions • Run test cases and provide test results
Service Interruptions will be Minimized • Tools – No interruptions to service • No downtime required for configuration • It takes approximately 4 hours to configure both tools • IP re-addressing process – Minimal interruptions • Interruptions to service will occur at an Application level • Changes will be planned with agency approval and where possible, occur during maintenance windows
Planned Schedule for IP re-addressing(DJJ Pilot ~90 days) Deployment 2008 Timeline July August September Deploy Tools Analyze Data Execute Data Call Develop Re-IP strategy by Application Re-IP Servers per strategy = tentative date ranges
Transformation Project Objective IP re-addressing is a key component of server transformation efforts. A data collection effort is needed to fully understand the current server and application environments before changing IP addresses on state agencies’ servers IP re-addressing Transformation Process GO LIVE POST-GO LIVE PRE-GO LIVE Agency • Validate survey questionnaire • Review/distribute IP re-addressing deployment communications • Approve maintenance/outage windows IT Partnership team • Hold Kickoff meeting • Deploy data collection tools: Lumeta's IPsonar & EMC Smarts Application Discovery Manager • Hold validation meeting for data collected • Hold validation of re-addressing plan meeting • Schedule maintenance/outage windows Agency • Conduct testing of systems and applications IT Partnership team • Change IP addresses on agency servers • Coordinate/conduct testing of systems and applications Agency • Contact the VITA Help Desk for any technical issues at (866) 637-8482 • Send e-mail with functional/other questions about IP re-addressing to questions@vita.virginia.gov IT Partnership team • Answer questions sent to questions@vita.virginia.gov
