BE/OP AXEL presentation – 19.Jan.2011 P.Charrue on behalf of the BE-CO-IN-VM team Hyper-V Virtualization
Some background • Before CNIC, everybody was using personal desktop on the GPN to develop and test operational software, directly accessing the TN • 2006: these desktops were declared TECNET TRUSTED to allow them to access the TN • 2007: TRUSTED Terminal Servers were introduced and the personal desktops were un-TRUSTED • Late 2009, VMWarevirtualisation was deployed in BE/CO and people were migrated from the Terminal Servers to the VMWare Virtual Machines • Late 2010, IT offered Hyper-V infrastructure for free for the accelerator sector to host these Virtual Machines BE/OP/AXEL - P.Charrue
Who should ask for a VM • ONLY people who need to develop and test Operational software that need access to the TN • If you do not have this need, there are other and much simpler ways to obtain a VM or to develop software • HOW to request a VM • Users should contact VPC-support@cern.ch • And specify WIN7 or SLC5 BE/OP/AXEL - P.Charrue
What is an HYPER-V VM • VM stands for Virtual Machine. • Hyper-V is the Microsoft infrastructure used to host VM on powerful physical servers • These Hyper-V VM are named CWE-513-VMWxxx: • 2CPUs • 2Gb RAM • 40GB disk • NO access to Internet • On the GPN • TECNET TRUSTED • Locally managed • Hosted in building 513 (IT) • Run WIN7 or SLC5 • D: drive can be backed-up by IT if needed • Managed by BE/CO/IN BE/OP/AXEL - P.Charrue
What software is/can be installed • JAVA • ECLIPSE • Office • Firefox • Acrobat • Benthic • cmmbuild • Exceed • Jprofiler • Maven • XMLSpy • Visio • UltraEdit • Passerelle • SVN • Access from home is possible • Transparent if CLIENT and VM are both WIN • Need one hop via CERNTS if client is MAC/LINUX or SSH tunnel to LXPLUS • Need specific configuration if VM is LINUX. NX software is recommended • More details are available on the BE/CO WIKI • https://wikis.cern.ch/display/VM BE/OP/AXEL - P.Charrue
How to migrate from VMWare • All users that still need a VM should contact VPC-Support@cern.chto ask for a VM and migrate out of VMWare • How-to is described on the CO/VM WIKI pages https://wikis.cern.ch/display/VM • In addition, inform VPC-Support@cern.ch to remove the old VMWare VM after the migration • The VMWare infrastructure will be shutdown in April 2011 BE/OP/AXEL - P.Charrue
Calendar • Due to current shutdown activities and some issues with IT providing more servers, VPC-support cannot provide today VM for all users • The situation will be much better after mid-February 2011 BE/OP/AXEL - P.Charrue
Support • Hyper-V are managed by BE/CO/IN • Vladimir Glafirov • Lev Mozhaev • Pierre Charrue • Support mailing list is VPC-Support@cern.ch • All details are available on the BE/CO WIKI VM pages • https://wikis.cern.ch/display/VM BE/OP/AXEL - P.Charrue
