IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Our Client’s Business Issue Managing a heterogeneous mix of virtualization technologies and virtual servers must be efficient and integrated into the IT processes Virtual Environments play an increasing role in IT Virtual Server Technologies managed through a common UI reduce skills and training Virtual Servers are subject to the same IT processes and compliance requirements as physical servers Virtual Server Management can be simplified using common visualization UIs and logical device operations

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 TPM Virtualization Support Legend: VM = Virtual Machine LPAR - Logical Partition CF = Configuration File VPAR = Virtual Partition VS = Virtual Server Logical Operations

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 TPM 7.1 Objectives and Summary of Changes  Improve the UI: Virtualization UI moved to Maximo framework Improved virtual servers UI presentation and management Simplified the creation of virtual servers Improved VM discovery  Improve integration with TPMforOSD for both virtualization technology deployment to hosting platform and operating system deployment to virtual servers  Expand the automation package library to include other technologies: Solaris zones, AIX WPARs, support VMotion  Create virtualization specific reports, allocation of virtual servers to host platform etc.

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Initial Discovery Initial Discovery is the very first action to perform when setting up the TPM environment. In our case we want to discover Solaris server that will be used as host platforms

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Initial Discovery Navigate to the Discovery Configurations application and choose Initial Discovery

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Initial Discovery

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Initial Discovery

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Initial Discovery In the Initial Discovery Configuration specify the IP, or range of IP addresses that you would like to discovery

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Initial Discovery After specifying the IP, enter the credentials so the servers to be discovered

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Initial Discovery With all the information entered we can now save and then click submit to run the discovery

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Initial Discovery In the Provisioning Task Tracking application we can monitor the progress and status of our discovery

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Initial Discovery

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Initial Discovery After the discovery has successfully finished we can see that a new computer has been discovered, in this case r33sunxeon01.tod.torolab.ibm.com

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Host Platform Discovery Going back to the Discovery Configurations, we will run Solaris - HostPlatform and Zones Discovery on the r33sunxeon01.tod.torolab.ibm.com to discover all the existing virtual servers and their properties

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Host Platform Discovery

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Host Platform Discovery

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Host Platform Discovery After running the Solaris - HostPlatform and Zones Discovery we can go to Virtualization Management application to see that r33sunxeon01.tod.torolab.ibm.com is now defined as a host platform and all the virtual servers and their properties

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Virtual Server Templates Virtual Server Template is a mechanism of specifying resource requirements and other properties when creating a new virtual server Before creating a Solaris zone, we should create a new virtual server template, or clone and modify one of the out of the box templates.

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Virtual Server Templates We will use solzone4_TEMPLATE to create a new Solaris zone.

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Create Virtual Server In the Virtualization Management application we select our host platform, in our case r33sunxeon01.tod.torolab.ibm.com and then choose to add a new virtual server

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Create Virtual Server In the Add Virtual Server dialog, we specify the Solaris zone name and Virtual Server Template to use during creation. Optionally we can specify Software Stack to be installed right after the virtual server creation

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Create Virtual Server

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Manage Virtual Servers From the Virtualization Management Application you can select one or may virtual server and then perform actions such as, Power On, Power Off, Install Software etc.

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Manage Virtual Servers From the Virtualization Management Application you can also change the resource allocation for a specific server.

IBM Software Group | Tivoli software © 2008 IBM Corporation Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1 Solaris Zones: Manage Virtual Servers In the Resource Allocation dialog, just enter the desired CPU size and click OK. NB: Save Only button is visible only to TPM users who have that privilege.
