  31. The New Server Problem • Replacing an old server with a new physical server? • How long, and how many experts does it take to: • lay down an operating system? • implement security? • install application and configure? • quality assurance and validation? • Replacing old servers with virtual machines? • Does your migration tool support multiple virtualization platforms? • Can it migrate a VM back to physical if needed? • Do you have time to learn multiple tools?

  36. Questions • What is the longest aspect of rolling out new servers for you: • Closing on requirements? • Searching to see if resources already exist that can be re-provisioned? • Cabling and wiring into the infrastructure (virtual or physical)? • Is efficiently managing Physical servers as well as Virtual ones a concern?

  37. Logical server OS Image reference Configuration requirements Unique IDs Server Server Bring flexibility of virtualization to physical servers Available for Integrity Q1’09 • HP Logical Server technology • A server profile that is easily created and freely moved across physical and virtual machines • Logical servers can be: • Active physical blade servers • Active virtual machines • Offline templates Virtual Fabric OS image

  38. Logical server management Logicalservers can be provisioned via templates and freely adjusted and migrated • Bring logical servers on-line quickly for increased capacity, new projects or server recovery • Shorten maintenance window by rapidly moving server profiles • Drag and drop capabilities to move logical servers

  42. Questions? ( 1 of ) • What Operating Systems are supported with SMP-U? • The currently released version of SMP-U is 3.5. In this version the supported source system OSs are Windows variants, in the case of a VtoX the source VM hosts are VMware, Xen and MS Virtual Server. • The OS on the target server (if it exists) is not important because SMP provides a bootable image for its agent on the target. In the case of a migration to VM the supported target VM Hosts are VMware, Xen and MS Virtual Server. • For specific details, the quick spec for the v3.5 version of the product is online at http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12855_na/12855_na.html

  43. Questions? (2 of • Are integrity blades supported as logical servers?   • In the current ID-VSE 4.0 release they are not. But the plan is to support them in the next release which is planned for Q109. See you can contact your HP rep for a formal NDA roadmap if you need more details. • Note that today Integrity Blades, HP-UX and HP Integrity Virtual Machines are fully supported in the Virtualization Manager and Capacity Advisor components of the ID-VSE 4.0 product

  44. Questions? (3 of • Can Capacity Advisor work for an all Dell installed base? • Used in an on-going fashion CapacityAdvisor is not intended for use with non-HP platforms. The licensing scheme is based on HP platforms and a platform-type check is made in the SIM CMS licensing mechanism when licenses are applied. • That being said, CapacityAdvisor does have some low-level mechanisms to import historical performance data that is in ascii format independent of any platform-type labeling. These could be used to do a one time import of historical for purposes of a consolidation project of non-HP platforms to HP servers. Typically in this case, the tool would be used by HP services as part of a project on behalf of a customer. If this is of further interest I suggest you contact me or the local HP services delivery contact in your area.

  45. Questions? (4 of • Can virtualization manager be utilized w/o SIM? • Virtualization Manager is only available as a plug in to SIM. The support SIM Server OS options are HP-UX or x86 Windows. • Vman itself has no real dependencies in the Insight Control Suite other then SIM. So if you are concerned about a lot of complexity to set Vman up due to the Insight Suite’s size, it isn’t necessarily so.  But Logical Servers requires VMM and VCEM.  Also CapAd would utilizes VMM when gather information about VMware hosts.

  46. Questions? (5 of 5) • How would be an answer to customer's question - what VSE does offer which is not in Vmware's Vmotion/HA? • The short answer is ID-VSE is not a replacement for VMware and its features. • ID-VSE adds additional features to a customer’s ProLiant environment with VMware; • The ability to view and manage both physical and virtual aspects of your environment from a single interface (Virtualization Manager). From this tool integrated in SIM you get low-level server hardware characteristics and events right up through Virtual Machine visibility and control and everything in between. • An integrated full featured, directly accessible to the user capacity monitoring and planning tool – Capacity Advisor. The Capacity Advisor tool works for physical bare-iron server, vm host servers and vms. • The ability to “Virtualize” physical blades in an enclosure much in the same way as vms are virtualized on a vm host. This is done using ID-VSE logical servers. When blades are logical servers, they (their context or settings like SAN and MAC addresses) can be templated, assigned, moved, much like a Virtual Machine.
