7 Use Case: Make Smarter SAN Management Decisions A Management Scenario: The Storage Admin says: I need to take a device offline. It ll effect LUN on Array The ESX Admin hears blah, blah, blah, Array and wonders: Which VM s use that device? What apps run on those VM s? Which VC instance has this info? A Monitoring Scenario: The ESX Admin says My DataStores are almost full The Storage Admin says What happened to the other 50TB I gave you? Virtual Machines VMware ESX Server Physical server 7

8 Use Case: Make Smarter SAN Management Decisions With vcenter you can View relationships from HBA to LUN View current datastore capacity 8

9 Use Case: Make Smarter SAN Management Decisions With vcenter you can View relationships from HBA to LUN View current datastore capacity With Ionix you can Leverage ControlCenter to: Provision storage from the array to the host Enforce EMC s SAN Configuration Best Practices Correlate relationships end-to-end from host file system to array disk LUN will impact VM s A, B, C Leverage StorageScope to: Trend historical usage and future needs across VC instances and P to V Reclaim unused or under utilized storage resources Chargeback based on VM Cross-silo correlation Cross-silo correlation 9

10 Use Case: Enable Agility While Maintaining Configuration Discipline Your VMware environment is rapidly growing as business demands more applications and capacity VMware is allowing you to repurpose existing hardware however, this bypasses your existing security auditing process Virtual Machines VMware ESX Server Physical server How will you do Security Hardening and Compliance Auditing? How will you ensure that your environment is configured in a way that optimally supports ESX? How will you make sure the virtual systems meet Corporate reporting requirements? 10

11 Use Case: Enable Agility While Maintaining Configuration Discipline With vcenter you can Identify server configuration compliance violations Automatically remediate compliance problems Enforce ESX Server configuration best practices With Ionix you can Identify network and storage configuration policy violations Eliminate network configuration drift Ensure that your network and storage configurations will support your virtualization plans Validating Symmetrix port flag settings for VMware 11

12 Use Case: Managing Outages and Impacts You manage a very dynamic data center. VMs are being moved everyday and its sometimes difficult to keep track of what is running where. Suddenly the phones start ringing; users can no longer get access to certain services. Manufacturing is unable to get to their order entry screens Sales is locked out of their ordering system Delivery Services can not get to their inventory information What is causing these outages? Where do you start? What is impacted? How can you get the services back on-line? Virtual Machines VMware ESX Server Physical server 12

13 Use Case: Managing Outages and Impacts In vcenter you can Monitor the raw event of the VMs and the ESX servers Troubleshoot the detailed configuration of virtualization layer Now you can leverage Ionix for IT Ops to: Discover automatically the physical and virtual environments Understand the detailed relationships between the entities Services to apps Apps to VMs VMs to ESX ESX to the infrastructure Infrastructure end-to-end Monitor and provide root cause and impact analysis across the physical and virtual infrastructure 13
