CONTENTS • Introduction • Hardware configuration • Issues • Blade server Management • Architecture of Blade server Management • Management Components • Pool Management • Conclusion
INTRODUCTION • Blade servers are a revolutionary new concept for enterprise applications. • It accommodates a large number of servers and switches in one chassis at high density. • To operate a large number of servers in highly reliable and cost effective way. • Reduces operating expense while increasing services density. • Dell, Hewlett Packard, IBM, RLX, and Sun offer blade server solutions.
EXPLANATION • The hardware of blade server contains the following elements, that are given down • Chassis (exterior): • Server blade • Switch blade • Management blade • Middle plane
Advantages • Space utilization • Power consumption • Failover capability • Flexibility • Deployment • Scalability
Dis-advantages • Expensive configuration • Economies of scale • Vendor-lock • Heating and Cooling
BLADE SERVER MANAGEMENT • Configuration management • Pool management • Common interface • Automation • Lifecycle management • Visualization
Management components • Management framework • Integrated manager • Integrated management console • Configuration definition file. • Configuration database
MANAGEMENT COMPONENTS • Server View • System cast Wizard Professional • System walker Software Delivery • System walker Centric Manager
POOL MANAGEMENT • Bare-metal pools • Service-specific pools • Function-specific pools • In service The steps in pool management are • Put in • Put out • Setup
CONCLUSION • Blade servers can greatly improve the reliability of business systems. • Provisioning realizes swift action and efficient resource utilization when faults and load increases occur. • In order to realize provisioning, resource management for configuration management, pool management, and automation is indispensable. • System walker Resource Coordinator offers provisioning solutions on blade servers. • In the future, provisioning solutions will have extended support ranges and these new solutions will form the basis of autonomic provisioning.
