Editor's Notes

  1. BuildConfigure application stacks & ensure they workIdentify how software components relate to each otherTag application stacks based on policies, compliance, other constraintsOptimizeMinimize footprint for VM density & provisioning speedMinimize surface target for vulnerabilitiesIncorporate feedback from actual experienceDeployOrchestrate deployment to virtual, physical, cloud serversProvision applications, networks, storage at scaleApply appropriate patches & updatesManageDiscover services in current environmentMake policy-based changes per established processesIncorporate patches and updatesTrack all activity over timeComplyCollect deep forensic data in contextMake sure environment conforms to standards (regulatory compliance, best practices, operational standards, etc.)Remediate problems found
  2. Ionix Unified Infrastructure Manager (UIM)Single point of management for VblocksManages multiple Vblocks across compute, network, & storage resourcesProvides simplified, unified management for Vblock(s)ProvisioningConfiguration ManagementCompliance ManagementConfigures and provisions network access, storage connectivity and compute blade profilesEliminates need for multiple server, network & storage configuration toolsNo need for additional 3rd party tools to manage UCS compute
  3. UIM is not an element manager…it sits above them Interfaces with the element managers of the various domains XML API for Cisco UCS Manager CLI/SNMP for the Nexus and MDS Symmetrix Agent on the Service Processor (SMI-S) (Future) Remote agent for Navisphere (SMI-S) (Future) Acts as a top level management point Orchestration and visibility across the Vblock stackNote to Presenter: This slide is used to show ALL of the components you would need to manage a Vblock and how UIM fits into this overall solution
  4. Manage multiple UCS systems with the connected network (Nexus and MDS)
  5. This shows the most recently accessed networks (Vblocks) and the most recent change activity. Links to other UIM features are found here as well.
  6. Shows the UCS, Nexus and MDS being managed by UIM.
  7. Viewing device properties
  8. Using the out-of-the-box queries to view the UCS details Chose Queries Chose a Report to run
  9. Launch further queries from results of the first Highlight a specific object from the list Chose a new report from the new list of reports that are available for this objectNote to Presenter: A Service Profile is the configuration for the logical server in the UCS (think Compute component). The service profile can be assigned to any blade to create a real server.
  10. Queries are specific to the object in context Highlight a specific object from the list Chose a new report from the new list of reports that are available for this object
  11. More queries are available at each object level Highlight a specific object from the list Chose a new report from the new list of reports that are available for this object
  12. The windows are flexible and configurable. Its easy to pull all of the resulting UCS report information into one view.
  13. In this example we want the BootPolicyName to be a variable so it can be set when the service policy template is scheduled to be pushed to a UCS system. You will be automatically prompted at that time to fill in the BootPolicyName (as we will see in the coming slides)
  14. The service profile template we just created is now available in the list.
  15. You can now apply this service profile template to other UCS systems. Apply Template Chose the Example Gold Service profile template You will be prompted for any variables in the template. In this case we set up a variable for the BootPolicyName. Hit OK to schedule the changes
  16. The scheduling window provides numerous options for scheduling out this change.Note to Presenter: The scheduling capabilities are the same as in NCM and ARE A DIFFERENTIATOR for us over other element manager systems like UCSM.This particular job is made up of 3 PUSHES to separate UCS systems.At this stage you can make minor changes to each PUSH as necessary. So you can customize the service profiles that will be built for each UCS.
  17. The job window allows you to monitor the job throughout its lifecycle.Pending – Awaiting you to approve the jobRunningCompleted with results
  18. Now we can use the Device Properties window to verify that the Service Profile has been added to the UCS and we can review the attributes/settings.
  19. You can also use finder queries to get the details of this PUSH. Lets use the Service Profile query. Chose the IP addresses of the devices we want to check The results show that the Service Profiles exist on all of the systems we added it to
  20. Change history for UCS
  21. The history tab shows the different revisions of a device that have been captured by UIMChose two revisions and click on the Compare Device Revision buttonYou are given a side by side view of the two revisions configurationsThe Service Profile we added in the previous step is highlighted to show the change
  22. We can make (and track) simple changes to a UCS system using the UIM Config EditorChose a UCSChose a Configuration (e.g. Gold Service - Service Profile)Chose Config Editor
  23. Here we can review the configuration properties and details of this UCS system.Use the tree menu on the left to find the configuration we want to change (Gold Service – Service Profile)Find the property you want to change. In this case we want to change the WWN Address of the vHBA-2 interface (from 8D to 8E0Schedule the change to launch into the Job Scheduler
  24. You can once again review the changes by choosing two revisions and clicking on the Compare Device Revision button.
  25. You can chose to activate TESTS and STANDARDS for different network containers.A TEST goes in a STANDARDA STANDARD goes in a POLICY (You can run these STANDARDS as ad-hoc compliance checks)A POLICY is enforced on a network container
  26. Compliance Severity is showing us that a Compliance Policy that has been enforced for this network has been failed the compliance standards.You can also run ad hoc compliance standard checks from the drop down menu.
  27. Standard Compliance Check results come back as COMPLIANT or NON-COMPLIANT. In our example we have a non-compliant DuplicateMac Test result. Click on it to see the details.Virtual NIC 2 on these two Service Profiles on these two UCS systems have the same MAC addresses. It also happens to be the same problem on Virtual NIC 1 (not highlighted).

  29. UIM comes complete with a Service Catalog (future). This is an animated slides that shows how the Gold Offering above is made up of different service profile components (network, storage, etc) and can be used to quickly activate a new service.
