4 Some typical challenges for the admin teams Typical SAP customer landscape of today: SAP Systems databases servers 3 rd party software Multi-serverSAP installations are heterogeneous SAP BASIS SAP NW AS SAP NW AS SAP NW AS ABAP Java SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP Java ABAP Java Central Services ENQ MSG I need to provision a new SAP system for the project: Which physical resources are available in my resource pool? The installation of a new SAP system takes more than two weeks as I need to wait for the deliverables of the IT infrastructure team. A SAP System Copy takes three days with all the post-processing I can t handle all those requests. Database livecache Special Services BI Accelerator SAP Appliance DB2 SAP Database Data SAP BASIS IT ADMIN IT ADMIN I need to work on all these requests for the SAP Basis team: Is there no possibility to enable a kind of self service for them? 4

11 SAP specific on-premise Cloud Use Cases Use Case Sample Scenario Comment 1. Virtualization topology & monitoring 2. Relocate SAP System between existing OSs 3. Relocate virtual system between phys. machines Monitoring of IT infrastructure via SAP LVM GUI Move existing SAP system to different OS version Move existing OS instance+sap to different servers (HW maintenance, HW exchange) 4. OS provisioning Create a new OS instance via SAP LVM GUI 5. Clone SAP System 1:1 copy of existing SAP instance for testing reasons 6. Copy SAP System 1:1 copy of existing SAP instance plus integration into existing landscape 7. Refresh SAP System 1:1 copy of existing SAP instance plus integration into existing landscape Classical SAP ACC relocate with global filesystem (NFS, GPFS) The PowerVM provides this functionality directly without using SAP LVM. Network fencing to isolate the system Includes SAP System rename and PostCopyAutomation Includes SAP System rename and PostCopyAutomation, export/ reimport customized settings 11 11

14 System Context diagram for SAP Landscape Virtualization Management Client SAP Basis Support team Client IT Infrastructure Support team SAP SolMan SAP LVM Server/ Virtualization Management (Systems Director) LoB SAP Systems SAP Systems SAP Systems SAP Systems Server Hardware/ virtualization tools (PowerVM / VMWare ) Storage SnapShot Management (e.g. FlashCopy Manager) Storage Hardware/ virtualization tools (e.g. SVC / GPFS ) Note Integration of IBM Components into SAP LVM 14

15 IBM Integration to SAP NetWeaver Landscape Virtualization Management The server team and storage team delegate access to their management tools to SAP LVM IBM Power Systems IBM System x Storage The SAP Basis administrator is empowered to manage all the virtualization and storage entities underneath the SAP system OS and storage deployment Integration of Post Copy Automation into an unattended end-to-end workflows without any manual intervention/ hand-over in between Single Source of truth (at runtime) for mapping of SAP systems, virtual, and physical resources Ability for Mass Operations 15

16 SAP LVM Monitoring Landscape-wide Overview & System Monitoring At a glance, you get a landscape-wide overview of services and resources including health checks and performance data, which provides operational benefits and adaptability. Dashboards Provide a status overview of services and resources Show running activities Graphical overviews of all layers Available landscapes, with infrastructure and system details Integrated virtualization technology Available networks with physical and virtual hosts Reports SAP Automation Use Cases Unified view at the SAP landscape Monitoring Compare recent performance data 16

17 SAP LVM Basic Operations LPAR activate, deactivate, shutdown running OS and relocate SAP Automation Use Cases Start / Stop VM (incl. SAP System) Relocate VM (incl. SAP System) with or without downtime Perform mass operations Integration of IBM Systems Director, IBM Flex System Manager and HMC enables LPAR activation, deactivation and relocation using Live Partition Mobility Live means, the system is up and running while being migrated Balance Performance Peaks / Manage SAP System Growth Perform a live migration of a system running in a virtual machine in order to adjust to different workload situations Hardware Maintenance Migrate a VM with a running SAP system to another VM on a different physical server 17

18 SAP LVM Basic Operations SAP storage volume attach, detach and relocate Integration of storage interfaces enables relocation of adaptive SAP systems between different LPARs XIV, GPFS and NFS interfaces are already supported SVC integration is planned SAN storage volumes must be attached using NPIV SAN zoning must be preconfigured SAP LVM detaches storage volumes from one OS and attaches them to another one OS Maintenance SAP Automation Use Cases Start / Stop SAP system Relocate SAP system with downtime Perform mass operations Migrate an SAP system from one OS level to another one 18

19 SAP LVM Advanced operation: Operating System Provisioning via SAP LVM Create new AIX LPAR using FSM SAP Automation Use Cases Provisioning of VM, OS, SAP clients Integration of IBM Flex System Manager enables provisioning of new AIX LPARs A NIM mksysb image or another LPAR is taken as master As result a new provisioned partition is registered within SAP LVM and may be used in other SAP LVM scenarios (e.g. as target for a SAP system copy) 19

20 Operating System Provisioning via SAP LVM Configure OS provisioning process 20

21 SAP System Copy via SAP LVM Fast deployment for System Clones / System Copies and System Refreshs of existing systems SAP Automation Use Cases SAP System Cloning, Copy, Refresh Integration of IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for the creation of SnapShots in the storage system for the Clone / Copy / Refresh process Both SAP Instance and Database instance are created during the Copy/ Clone process The newly created system is fenced (network isolation) before it is started 21
