  1. The Next Generation of SAN Solutions from VERITAS Introducing the V3 SAN Initiative Robin Purohit Director of Product Management,SAN

  2. Supply Chain Management Direct Consumer Centralized Data Centers Business Units Business Alliances Outsourced Data Services eBusiness is Fundamentally Changing the Data Center

  3. The Promise of SANAddressing Needs of the New Data Center • Managing costs through physical centralization • Sharing of expensive peripherals • Capacity management across pools of storage • Optimize highly trained staff with central administration • Increased application availability service levels • Non-disruptive on-line configuration changes • Automate storage management tasks • Failover using multiple paths between application and data • Data centers that fuel revenue growth • Adapt to rapid and unpredictable change • Re-purposing of application servers

  4. Complexity and Risk of System Integration Uncertainty about quality Resource intensive Too many choices VERITAS Solution SAN Integration LABto create stable reference designs that support VERITAS applications Limitations of Legacy SCSI Architecture Bus-attached model Inconsistency New SAN complexity VERITAS Solution V3 SAN technology to enable new capabilities & simplify management Two Primary Barriers to Mainstream SAN Adoption

  7. The Need for SAN Virtualization Technology

  8. Client SAN Storage Management will be capable of these services…. Quality of Application Service Capacity Allocation Failure Recovery Server Application Data Protection Server Platform Performance Management Asset Optimization Quality of Storage Service Logical Storage The Goal of “SAN Virtualization” Dramatically Simplify Storage Management • without manual management of physical devices • with minimal disruption to application • in a heterogeneous environment

  9. Server Application Quality of Storage Service SAN Fabric Off-site Storage Tape Libraries JBOD RAID Enterprise RAID SAN PossibilitiesSAN-Attached Storage with a Range of Attributes Reliability Protection Performance Cost Distance Access Control Off-host Services

  10. Server Application Quality of Storage Service SAN Switch SAN Switch SAN Switch SAN Switch SAN PossibilitiesNew SAN Fabric Network Capabilities Shared Peripherals Near Infinite # of Devices “Zoning” Network Services Peer to Peer Storage Campus Distances

  11. SAN Switch SAN Switch SAN Switch SAN Switch Barriers to the Promise of SANLegacy, Complexity,Inconsistency Legacy host-centric, bus-attached SCSI model limits ability to reap benefits from new SAN Capabilities NT Solaris HP/UX No OS awareness of new SAN capabilities 3 levels of heterogeneity Multiple mgmt apps + topology complexity Multiple mgmt apps + Limited communicationwith intelligent storage

  12. Server Application SAN Switch SAN Switch SAN Switch SAN Switch SAN Virtualization Today with VxVM Non-disruptive on-line storage management Remote Mirror & SW RAID Disk group ownership Dynamic grow/shrink of logical volumes DMP provides path failover & load balancing VxVM Performance optimization NT (Beta) Solaris HP/UX Works for both JBOD and RAID Off-site Storage

  13. V3 SAN Access Layer

  14. V3 SAN Access Layer is a new host-based technology that provides a virtual interfaceinto the new, more complex SAN environment Applications Filesystem SRM Agents Backup VCS VxVM SAN Access Layer SCSI I/O Drivers The VERITAS V3 SAN Access LayerCreates SAN-Aware Storage Management • “Client API” for host applications are common across NT/UNIX • “SAN API” for communication with SAN Fabric,Devices, Services • Complements more limited legacy SCSI I/O services First Key Feature : “SAN Discovery Services” SAN APIs based on de-facto and formal standards… vendor specific extensions added as needed

  15. SAN Discovery Services SAN Discovery Services captures, correlates, and maintains capabilities & attributes of a SAN configuration and presents a common service API • Properties that are discovered and used…. • Device and host names • Topology/distance & SAN configuration state changes • Zoning Configuration & Control • Off-host Agents and Services (ie 3rd Party Copy) • Storage Attributes (cost, RAID level, performance)

  16. Host & Device naming collected from local OS VxVM VCS NetBackup Mgmt V3 SAN Access Layer SAN Switch SAN Switch SAN Switch SAN Switch Fabric zoning collected using in-band fabric services & proprietary zoning APIs Device WWN & LUN mapping information collected using “in-band” SCSI Using the Discovery Services to to Build a Zoning Service Server Application SAN Access Layer correlates information to build “zone map” and provide a single zone API NT Solaris HP/UX

  17. Using the V3 SAN Access Layer to Enable SAN Capabilities • V3 SAN Management Tools • Single centralized application for zone administration • VERITAS Cluster Server • Automatically re-configures zone to provision a new path to failed application’s storage • VERITAS VxVM • Finds free disks to allocate to a growing application based on cost/performance needs • VERITAS NetBackup • Finds the best 3rd Party Copy agent for a backup operation

  24. V3 SAN Management Tools

  25. SAN Management StrategyEnabling New Global Storage Applications • Goal : Reduce Complexity of SAN Administration • Manage logical SAN storage resources(use device views as the exception) • Deploy functional applications for zone management and capacity allocation • Make policy management pervasive to reduce reactive and manual management • Modular Agent/Application architecture • Scales from point application management to large SANs using optional central repositories • Built on standards (JIRO,CIM,WMI,DMTF, SNIA) & installed base of frameworks (Tivoli,CA,HP,BMC)

  26. V3 SAN Management ToolsComponents bundled into VERITAS and OEM products • Administration built on V3 SAN Access Layer • SAN Visualization with multiple views • Zone management from a single application • VERITAS Application Management • “SRM” agents and JAVA applications for VxVM, VxFS, NetBackup • Reporting, monitoring,policy automation • Common Services bundled as needed • Event notification : e-mail,pager,SNMP • Policy administration and enforcement • Platform adapters : Systems Mgmt or OEM
