1. European Organization for Nuclear Research SLM: Virtualization Status Omer Khalid 20 th Oct 2010

2. European Organization for Nuclear Research Outline Group requirements CERN Virtualization infrastructure Image templates Resources required Conclusion

3. European Organization for Nuclear Research Group Requirements Results gathered from all sections for their needs Total VM requirements: 80 -100 75% of them for frequent and short-durations: max. 2 weeks Mostly by PLC and SCD sections 25% for production use and always running Primarily in SIC and MTA sections Per section preferences: SIC: CVI + local set up with VMWare worksation/ESXi/Xen PLC: CVI + local set up with VMWare workstation SCD: CVI + local set up virtual box (could be VMWare) MTA: CVI could meet all requirements

4. European Organization for Nuclear Research Cern Virtualization Infrastructure Had a meeting with Jan Van Eldik: CVI manager 100 VM’s requirements can’t be fulfilled at present resource level CVI is going to be updated in few weeks; too many errors on the access portal; limited linux availability. BE-CO is also moving to CVI but has dedicated hardware CVI offers: A set of 5 windows image templates for our group Preparation of these templates already started with the sections Selected users from the working group to evaluate Up to 20-25 VM’s Ideally dedicated hardware should be put in place

5. European Organization for Nuclear Research Image templates on CVI MTA section: standard Win XP image PLC/SCD: 4 images 1.PVSS 3.6SP2 + Unity 4.0 + Step7 5.5 2.PVSS 3.8SP1 + Unity 5.0 + Step7 5.5 3.PVSS3 3.8SP1 + Visual Studio 2003 4.PLC Simulations with Schneider S/W SIC section: 1 image with Java development toolkit

6. European Organization for Nuclear Research Resources Needed Group wide setup: Requested one server with 24-cores; Fredrick Bernard looking into it Mainly used for Linux VM’s and for PLC/SCD sections Group already paid for it One license of vSphere ESXi for 12-cores per CPU Section wide setup: 5 workstations + 2 ESXi server licences ~= 4k CHF Used/shared by all sections; I will interface for licenses with guidelines. Quote received: pending approval Additional licenses of Workstation Could be acquired incrementally at a cost of: 180 Chf per license

7. European Organization for Nuclear Research Conclusion CVI agreed to host images For smaller deployments; they will monitor our use May need dedicated hardware (funding will be required) Images are being prepared To evaluate how many of our use cases it could satisfy Group setup 1 server with ESXi for Linux Local setup Software licenses required; quote available. All this should be rolled out first to working group and later to the group members Open Discussion - Questions
