6. Problem Statement Solution
Module 2 – Cisco UCS Director Virtual Infrastructure Management Virtual Infrastructure Management– VM Provisioning Using ISO Image
Problem Statement
As of 4.1, UCSD VM provisioning is happening through clone from template or clone from VM only.
Solution
VM Provisioning using ISO Image
With this new feature end user will be able to provision guest VM
Mount ISO image as CDROM into guest VM
Install guest OS from mounted ISO image.
Till now in UCSD vm provisioning is happening through clone from template or clone from vm only. This feature will allow more flexibility in provisioning new vm and installing guest operating system.
Using this feature user can provision new vm with out any guest operating system and mount iso image as CDROM on newly provisioned vm and subsequently install guest operating system from the mounted ISO Image.
Once new VM is provisioned and iso image is mounted as CD ROM, End user can able to install the guest operating system using VNC Console.

7. Module 2 – Cisco UCS Director Virtual Infrastructure Management Virtual Infrastructure Management– VM Provisioning Using ISO Image
To achieve this feature in UCSD, below mentioned steps need to be followed.
Mark Data Stores for ISO Images inventory collection.
Guest OS to ISO Image Mapping Policy
Assign Guest OS to ISO Image mapping policy to VDC.
Changes in Standard Catalog
Service Request Changes based on above catalog.

8. ISO Data Stores Selection
Module 2 – Cisco UCS Director Virtual Infrastructure Management Virtual Infrastructure Management– VM Provisioning Using ISO Image – Step1
ISO Data Stores Selection
Admin has to mark datastores which are having ISO images for inventory collection.
ISO images from selected datastores will be collected as part of regular VMware inventory and stored internally.
This is introduced not to traverse all the datastores for ISO images as part of regular inventory.

10. Guest OS to ISO Image Mapping
Module 2 – Cisco UCS Director Virtual Infrastructure Management Virtual Infrastructure Management– VM Provisioning Using ISO Image
Guest OS to ISO Image Mapping
This will facilitate the admin to premap various guest operating system types to ISO images. In this policy all VMware supported guestos types and ISO images from selected datastores will be shown. This policy can be mapped to VDC.
Based on the mapped policy of VDC, during provisioning time all the added mappings from this policy will be shown to the end user. End user will select one of the guestos and ISO image from the existing mappings and vm will be provisioned accordingly.
If admin wants to provide flexibility to end user to choose his own guest operating system and ISO image, he can enable that option in this policy by enabling checkbox “Allow end user to select guestos and iso image”.
Use Menu

3. VMWare Linked Clone Feature

26. Module 2 – Cisco UCS Director Virtual Infrastructure Management Virtual Infrastructure Management– Linked Clone
A linked clone is a copy of a virtual machine that shares virtual disks with the parent virtual machine in an ongoing manner. This conserves disk space, and allows multiple virtual machines to use the same software installation.
A linked clone is made from a snapshot of the parent. All files available on the parent at the moment of the snapshot continue to remain available to the linked clone. Ongoing changes to the virtual disk of the parent do not affect the linked clone, and changes to the disk of the linked clone do not affect the parent.
A linked clone must have access to the parent. Without access to the parent, a linked clone is disabled.

27. How this feature is implemented in UCSD
Module 2 – Cisco UCS Director Virtual Infrastructure Management Virtual Infrastructure Management– Linked Clone
How this feature is implemented in UCSD
New check box is added in existing clone functionality to specify if user wants to perform linked clone.
When a user selects Use Linked Clone, Select Snapshot Type select box will be shown and based on the snapshot type, one more column will be displayed.
If user wants to use existing snapshot of the selected VM, user can choose snapshot type value as Existing Snapshot and select one of the existing snapshot.
If a user wants to create new snapshot and use this for creating linked clone, user can choose snapshot type as new snapshot and provide new snapshot name.
From VM’s report and select one of the VM and click on Clone VM Action.

4. Host Profiles

32. Module 2 – Cisco UCS Director Virtual Infrastructure Management Virtual Infrastructure Management– Host Profile
VMware Host Profiles is a vCenter Server tool for designing and deploying ESX/ESXi hosts. Host Profiles work by encapsulating a reference host configuration and turning it into a profile, or template, upon which other hosts or clusters of hosts can be configured.
Once the host profile has been created, it can be attached to one or more vSphere hosts.
Once attached, the host configuration can be compared against the host profile using Check Compliance and any deviations are reported.
The host profile can be then applied to the attached host ,which will copy the profile configuration on the attached host.
Using this feature user can create host profiles, attach/detach hosts to profiles and apply host profiles on attached hosts in UCSD.

33. How this feature is implemented in UCSD
Module 2 – Cisco UCS Director Virtual Infrastructure Management Virtual Infrastructure Management– Host Profile

Module 2 – Cisco UCS Director Virtual Infrastructure Management Virtual Infrastructure Management– vMotion
VMware vMotion enables the live migration of running virtual machines from one physical server to another without any downtime or service disruption for end users.
In vCenter while migrating VM three options are available:
1) Change host.(vMotion)
2) Change datastore.(Storage vMotion)
3) Change host and datastore. (vMotion and Storage vMotion combined)(VM must be powered off)

41. How this feature is implemented in UCSD

77. Annotation consists of Notes and Custom Attributes.
Module 2 – Cisco UCS Director Virtual Infrastructure Management Virtual Infrastructure Management– VM Annotation Feature
Annotations are part of VM Summary which will have the description about the VM.
This feature has been added in UCSD so that End User can customize the Annotations of a VM during VM Provisioning.
Annotation consists of Notes and Custom Attributes.
Custom Attributes are of two type.
Virtual Machine
Global
If we select the type as “Virtual Machine”, then that custom attribute is applicable to all the VM’s in the inventory whereas
If we select “Global”, it applies for all VM’s and Hosts in the inventory.
