  1. IBM FlexSystem介紹Alan LinI/T SpecialistSystem x, Systems and Technology GroupIBM Corporation

  2. Built-in Expertise • Expert integrated systems Integration by Design Simplified Experience • Deeply integrate and tune hardware and software – in a secure, built for cloud, ready-to-go, workload optimized system • Make every part of the IT lifecycle easier - with integrated management and a broad open ecosystem of optimized solutions • Capture and automate what experts do – from infrastructure patterns to application patterns We started with a clean sheet of paper… • Hardware management “built-in” – nothing to install • Make advanced virtualization more consumable (lower the skills required to operate a highly virtualized system) • Deliver platform pre-configured and optimized for virtualization (storage virtualization and network virtualization built-in) • New, dramatically simpler application deployment models • But yet, maintain full compatibility with current workloads

  3. We took a different approach… New class of Integrated System: • No-compromise hardware, with latest Power, x86, advanced storage and networking and choice of I/O. • Full-function management node, which integrates IBM management technology for servers, storage, network and virtualization management • Factory installed, fully packaged solutions drive simple setup (pull it out of the box, plug it in and boot it up) • Single product streamlines ordering, tracking, receiving, installing and running To create an integrated system, we discovered that we first had to better integrate ourselves…

  4. IBM Flex System組合內容 • 為實現虛擬化整合毫不妥協、可擴充大容量記憶體與NAND Flash並提供高速I/O安裝選擇 • 支持高速網路如10Gb/40Gb以太網路，16Gb的光纖通道 • 使用FlexSystem Manager 對多個機箱的硬體做集中管理 • 具備80Plus Platinum高白金效率能源電源供應器和卓越的的氣流冷卻設計 Storage Node Compute Node &Options PCIe 擴充單元 SSDExpansion Kit 內裝型V7000 Switch module Options IBM Flex System x240 Xeon E5-2600 ×2 MAX Mem: 768GB Flex System 企業級機箱 Ethernet交換模組 Flex System EN4091 IBM Flex System x220 Xeon E5-2400 ×2 MAX Mem: 192GB IBM Flex System x440 FlbreChannel交換模組 Flex System FC3171 8Gb Flex System FC5022 16Gb Xeon E5-4600 ×4 MAX Mem: 1.5TB Management Node 統合管理一體機 IBM Flex System Manager

  35. Flex System Manager – Network and Storage Virtualization • Network Control: • Networking attributes follow the Virtual Servers as they live migrate from node to node or chassis to chassis. • Create “Logical Networks” to define network VLANs, Access Control, Quality of Service, Bandwidth and Traffic Priority attributes. • Use FSM to associate Virtual Servers with Logical Networks. The Flex System will configure and maintain these network attributes for each virtual server. • Storage Control: • Embedded Tivoli Storage Productivity Center (TPC) • Dynamic zoning/masking as part of virtual server relocation • Dynamic storage provisioning as part of image deployment IBM Confidential

  36. Base Network Management Capabilities Provides base network management, enabling an integrated, end-to-end platform management solution. Tells what you have (Discovery, Inventory) Tells if it’s working (Status, Events) Allows Configuration, Troubleshooting Support for latest converged Fabric Ethernet technology Links to predefined Network system groups Links to Network switch configuration templates

  37. Network Management: Predefined Network Groups Provides predefined groups to allow users to quickly find discovered Network Systems (e.g. switches) All Network Systems Ethernet Switches Ethernet to Fibre Channel Bridges Fibre Channel over Ethernet Switches

  38. Network Management: Inventory Collects Inventory and properties of switches, converged network adapters: installed ports, World Wide Names, Subnet mask, etc.

  39. Network Management: Availability Monitoring Switches send SNMP traps to the NGP Manager Integrated configuration is provided for switch modules SNMP traps are received as native events with defined severity levels The state of the switch reflects the severity of the traps received

  40. Network Management: Configuration SNMP Agent, community, and trap settings External port settings VLAN Configuration Defined VLANs Port level Ingress and Egress tagging • Configure switch modules in real-time (Current Configuration) and via Templates and Configuration Plans • Protocol Configuration • Login Configuration (user credentials) • Network Protocols (IP, HTTP and Telnet settings)

  41. Network Control: System Level Network Topology System-level is high-level, showing relationships between servers and switches, user can: Determine to what switch a specific server is connected Determine what other devices are using the same switch Determine scope and impact of network outages User can follow a diagnostic path by traversing the view, selecting a new root node, and displaying additional resources or topology perspectives IBM

  42. Network Control: Port Level Network Topology Port-level shows port-to-port connections between servers and switches, user can: Determine to what port on the switch a specific server is connected Determine what ports, if any, on a particular switch are not in use Visualize any devices or ports in a degraded state

  43. Network Control: Subnet Network Topology Subnet shows a system-level view of all systems in the same subnets as the selected systems, user can: Determine to what subnets a specific system is connected Determine what other systems are in those subnets Determine what IP addresses are still in use for those subnets

  45. IBM Flex System Manager – Storage Management • Pooling and virtualization of external storage • Integrated with virtual server management, allowing virtual disks to be defined and attached • Dynamic storage provisioning as part of image deployment • Enable policy-driven placement within storage system pools • Dynamic zoning/masking as part of virtual server relocation • Integration with IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center (TPC) Hypervisor Hypervisor Virtual I/O Stack (intrinsic to hypervisor or external) Storage Pools Filesystem TPC XiV SVC Storwize v7000

  46. FSM Adds Storage Visibility to VMware Environment vCenter Storage Management with UIM above is a LUN, no indication what volume name it is, nor what /dev/sdXX device it is above is a storage system, but no idea what name it is, nor how much free space it has FSM View • FSM shows the customer supplied volume and storage array names not machine addresses • FSM maps the connectivity between virtual server and physical storage • FSM shows storage consumption by virtual server regardless of hypervisor 46

  47. Guided Storage Setup • Manage System Storage – simplified single-panel UI streamlines tasks of discover, unlock, and automatically collects inventory • Simplifies the transition to VMControl

  48. Creating Storage Volumes with FSM • Adding storage volumes normally takes someone with deep expertise • Usually requires 3 different software tools and 70+ clicks • With FSM, takes 5 clicks and does not require deep expertise • Could predefine storage volumes but then storage is wasted until needed 48

  49. Within single chassis or Across multiple chassis IBM Flex System Manager – Fabric Management Server deployment • LAN and SAN administrators don’t need to wait for the hardware to arrive • Done ahead of time • MAC and WWNs IP address assignments • SAN zoning • Storage LUN masking Server replacement • No need to reconfigure LAN/SAN resources when a Server is replaced • SAN zoning and LUN masking is un-affected • Replacement Servers in the same slots retain MAC and WWN addresses Server failover Fully Automated Failover Network and storage switch independent Launched from Flex Management Appliance
