typical situations in day to day service support motivation for Change and Configuration Management some definitions datamodel of the Configuration Management Database tool design to support change and configuration management Agenda
Typical situations in day-to-day operations you are in the troubleshooting process, and don‘t know the recent changes that have been made. an IT service is unavailable, and you don‘t know all involved components and their dependencies a server system is offline, and you don‘t know the exact impact to your customers business processes there‘s an error in a software module, and you don‘t know all systems where this module is installed there‘s a hardware failure, and you have no information about the maintenance contracts some well-known situations ?
better management and accounting of IT assets better identification of relationships between IT components better alignment of IT and the business needs (achieving enterprise objectives) better control and documentation of changes impact analysis of the environment (troubleshooting and planning) Configuration Management: objectives
Transparent view over the entire IT environment (hardware devices, software, request for changes, problems, incidents, services, customers etc.) Reproduction of the lifecycle of IT assets Detailed information over deployed IT equipment Control of IT assets (e.g. consolidation, optimization) linking all other ITSM processes to the CMDB Configuration Management: tasks
configuration: collectivity of IT components (logical and physical) and their relationships among each other configuration management database (CMDB):datastore containing different configurations, designed to support configuration management tasks (see before) configuration item (CI):entity in the CMDB Important definitions
baseline configuration:secured and documented setup for a distinct and productive IT service request for change (RfC):document, that describes the whys and hows of implementing changes in the IT environment (planning / approval) change: activity, affecting items so that a deviation of the baseline configuration is caused Important definitions ...
mapping different configurations Configuration 1 Configuration Management Database (CMDB) Configuration 2
Components related to Configuration Items Data Store for Configuration Data (CMDB) + revision history User Management / Configuration Management Forward Schedule of Change Recent Changes / todays dates Reports Tasks / maintenance planning Favorites / Profiles Software Architecture: Management Portal
The input of CI data information is checked The process of defining related items and attaching items simplified One can define SQL queries instead of wiki fullsearches to get more complex reports and analysis. Some users like the degree of freedom they have with the wiki, others like to be guided (higher Acceptance) benefits by using a Portalsolution in conjunction with a wiki system
??????????????? ?? any requests … • thank you for your attention • ... a more detailed tool demo will be possible during the workshop later on ...
