  4. Solution Overview

  5. Solution Purpose • This objective of this solution is to demonstrate EMC’s integration with Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1, which allows support for Windows Server 2012 for management of a Microsoft private cloud environments. • Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1 • VMware ESXiand Windows Server Hyper-V 2012 • Multi-hypervisor environment • EMC Symmetrix VMAX 10K, EMC VNX5700 • Multi-array environment • EMC Storage Integrator (ESI) for Windows Suite • Mixed application workloads

  6. Solution Overview • System Center 2012 SP1 • Provides centralized management • Windows Server 2012 support • ESI Management Packs for SCOM • Monitor health & performance • EMC SMI-S provider • Allows SCVMM 2012 SP1 to easily manage and provision EMC storage • ESI PowerShell • Allows automated provisioning and allocation of EMC storage with SCO 2012 SP1 • SCVMM 2012 SP1 • provides simplified and centralized management of both ESXi and Hyper-V VNX • Automaticin-tier rebalance • FAST VP policies for workload co-location

  10. Results

  11. VNX in-tier rebalance - Physical Disk Utilization (%) …in-tier rebalance following storage pool expansion

  12. VNX Physical Disk Utilization (%) Disk Configurations • Baseline configuration: 18 * SAS (R5 *, 8+1) + 8 * NL-SAS (R6, 6+2) • with additional SAS drives (18 * drives added): 36 * SAS (R5, 8+1) + 8 * NL-SAS (R6, 6+2) • with Flash drives 36 * SAS (R5, 8+1) + 8 * NL-SAS (R6, 6+2) + 5 * Flash (R5, 4+1) …disk utilization across all configurations

  13. SQL Server results VNX storage pool expansion and enabling FAST VP Results • Over x 4 increase in IOPs between base and final configuration • Latency reduced from 23ms Read / 13ms Write to 2ms Read / 2ms Write …SQL Server workload hosted on VNX

  14. SharePoint & Exchange results SharePoint – Medium Farm • Browse Modify, Search and Download test times • were completed in less than 3 seconds • Passed tests/sec were constant, averaging 29.83 • which equates to 17,900 users @ 10% concurrency Exchange – 5,000 Users, 2 * Copies • Information Store Avg. Latency was 1.9ms (<10ms) • I/O Database Reads Avg. Latency was 7.35ms (<20ms) • I/O Database Writes Avg. Latency was 3.5ms (<20ms) • I/O Log Writes Avg. Latency was 5.5ms (10ms) …SharePoint workload on VNX, Exchange on VMAX 10K

  15. VNX Physical Disk Utilization (%) Disk Utilizations across three tier storage pool • Flash (77%), SAS (25%) …hosting OS, SQL Data & SharePoint LUNs (minus contents DBs) • NL-SAS (38%) - hosting only SharePoint content database LUN pinned to lowest tier …healthy view of storage poolin Unisphere

  16. VNX LUN tier allocation …following FAST VP relocation window

  17. EMC Integration

  18. SCOM – Monitor and Report …in this solution • EMC Storage system monitor • ESI management packs for SCOM • Reporting • Storage • Host utilization • Chargeback • Application monitor • Exchange • SQL • SharePoint • OS health monitor • CPU • Memory • Disk volume …single console view

  19. SCOM- Health Monitor for EMC Storage • Import and configure ESI Management Packs for SCOM • Health monitor via ESI Service and RESTFul API • Storage system topology • Array health • Space utilization • Alerts Overall topology view of storage system in SCOM …SCOM storage topology view

  20. ESI Management Packs for SCOM Monitored Components • ESI Service • Logical Components • Storage Pools • Snapshot Volume • Storage Group • Physical Components • CPU Module • Disk Drive • Enclosure • Network Switch • Memory Module Storage Group Overall Health …monitoring components with SCOM

  21. SCVMM – Cloud Management …in this solution • Storage Management and provisioning via EMC SMI-S provider • EMC VNX5700 • EMC VMAX 10K • Host Management • Hyper-V • ESXi (via VMware vCenter) • VM Provisioning …manage both Hyper-V and ESXi

  22. SCVMM – EMC Storage Management Manage EMC storage system via EMC SMI-S provider • Discover VNX and VMAX • Configure storage pools • Create LUNs Managing both VNX5700 and VMAX 10K …storage management

  23. SCO – Orchestrator RunBook Designer Workflow management • Create VM via SCVMM IP (Integration Pack) • Create LUN with ESIPS • Add Disk to VM… …Runbook – a series of activities …no activities of LUN creation in SCVMM IP …RunBook Designer

  24. SCO – ESIPowerShell toolkit Automatically created based on user input, which: • Provisions storage • Allocates storage to VM Example activity Run .Net script …ESIPowerShellcmdlets

  25. System Management Hyper-V cluster ESXi cluster SCVMM 2012 SCO 2012 SMI-S SCOM 2012 ESI Service ESI Service VNX5700 VMAX 10K ESI Agent Agent(VM) …how it all works

  26. Summary

  27. Summary This solution highlights the close integration of ESI for Windows Suite with Microsoft System Center 2012 SP1, which allows administrators to control application and EMC storage infrastructure throughout the data center. This includes multi-hypervisor and multi-array environments. • ESI Management Packsfor SCOM monitor EMC storage systems. • EMC SMI-S Provider allows storage management with SCVMM • ESI PowerShell allows automated provisioning of EMC storage • SCO provides workflow management • SCVMM managesboth ESXi and Hyper-V • VNX automatic in-tier rebalance, following storage-pool tier expansion • FAST VP policies allow co-location of multiple workloads
