1 ViPR SRM Practical Problem Solving Rich Colarusso 1

2 Storage Resource Management Suite Renamed EMC ViPR SRM Highlights EMC s commitment to monitoring & reporting for software defined storage SRM ViPR simplifies the transition to a software defined environment 3

3 This Session Will Cover ViPR SRM expanded and improved capabilities Four use cases that better control storage costs and assure SLA compliance Comprehensive, automated reporting for a variety of users and stakeholders 4

4 BILLIONS OF USERS MILLIONS OF APPS Mobile Cloud Big Data Social Mobile Devices HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF USERS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF APPS LAN/Internet PC Client/Server MILLIONS OF USERS THOUSANDS OF APPS Source: IDC, 2013 Mainframe, Mini Computer Terminals 5

5 Customers Want 1 LOWER OPEX 2 3 CHOICE A PATH TO THE 3 rd PLATFORM Unconstrained data growth, Manual operations, Siloed infrastructure What hardware to use, What management system to use No rip and replace, Path to the third platform 6

6 EMC ViPR Software-defined Storage EMC ViPR Platform ViPR Services ViPR Controller Provisioning Self-Service Reporting Automation EMC Non-EMC Commodity Array Support Via OpenStack 7

7 Transform Your Storage Department So What is ViPR SRM? 8

8 Physical Virtual EMC ViPR SRM Visualize. Analyze. Optimize. Performance Application to infrastructure mapping Performance trending & reporting Performance troubleshooting Capacity Usage & trends Chargeback Reporting Compliance SLA reporting Configuration management Data protection compliance 9

9 Transform Your Storage Department Application to Infrastructure Mapping Utilization Optimization Data- Protection Compliance Application Charge-Back SLA Achievement Reporting Performance Trending & Reporting Storage configuration Management Storage & Application Capacity Trends 10

10 Transform Your Storage Department Application to Infrastructure Mapping 11

11 Multiple Spreadsheets Multiple Element Mangers End-To-End Path 12

12 Demo Application To Infrastructure Mapping 13

13 Application to Infrastructure Mapping Understand Host-to-Storage Relationships See relationship dependencies Hosts/Hypervisors/VMs Datastores Switches Fabric Arrays Drill down to analyze trends Performance Availability 14

14 Application To Infrastructure Mapping Asset Information Create customized business unit dashboard VMware vsphere SAN Switch Host File System VMAX Storage Chargeback by SLA 15

15 Transform Your Storage Department Performance Trending & Reporting 16

16 Do you have a triage every time there is a problem How about those element managers Still rummaging through spreadsheets 17

17 Demo Performance Trending And Reporting 18

18 Performance Trending And Reporting Host Performance Troubleshooting Analyze host performance From host to LUN PowerPath metrics enhance troubleshooting Health Configuration Alerts Analyze host LUN metrics 19

19 Performance Trending And Reporting Analyze Performance From Host, Switch, And Array Perspective Hypervisor Switch Array Host/VM 22

20 Transform Your Storage Department Utilization Optimization 23

21 Where can I find some free space? Finding LUNs: looking for a needle How about a clear view 24

22 Demo Utilization & Optimization 25

23 Utilization Optimization Move applications to lower-cost storage without violating SLAs Identify under utilized capacity Reclaim abandoned storage Before, it took me over a half of a day to create a report that lists storage allocated to each server. Now I can see this with just a few mouse clicks. It s made my life easier by providing better visibility into my SAN environment. Senior Systems Admin 26

24 Utilization Optimization Move to Lower-Cost Storage Without Violating SLAs Move from Gold to Silver Analyze performance trends 27

25 Transform Your Storage Department Storage & Application Capacity Trends 28

26 Is this your version of planning? Do you get this treatment Are you neat but still don t have a clue 29

27 Demo Storage & Application Capacity Trends 30

28 Traditional EMC VIPR SRM Virtual Storage And Application Capacity Trends Reports capacity use across heterogeneous environments The Software- Defined Data Center Analyzes capacity by service level or FAST policy Identifies the true cost of storage for any application 31

29 Storage And Application Capacity Trends Integrated Capacity Dashboards And Reports Automate capacity reporting Analyze capacity usage and trends Plan and justify new purchases 32

33 Storage and Application Capacity Trends Manage Thin Pool Capacity Track thin pool consumption to prevent outages Drive higher subscription rates and therefore higher efficiency Anticipate when pools will run out of space 36

34 Storage Configuration Management Configuration Compliance Define best practices & Ensure compliance with policies EMC Support Matrix 37

35 Application To Infrastructure Mapping Application to infrastructure mapping Before : hunt-n-peck across multiple portals and spreadsheets piecing together the picture After: a couple clicks and you see the view from host to array and back again Problem solved: see end-to-end configuration picture in one tool rather than many, huge time saving to answer quick configuration questions for consumers 38

36 Performance Trending And Reporting Performance trending and reporting Before: navigate across multiple tools to pull the needed KPIs or wait for the server guys to pull reports and then compare to array reports After: see end-to-end map of the IO path and with a few clicks can navigate and easily see KPIs for each contributing object Problem solved: Significant time savings not having to use multiple tools and CLIs to pinpoint where the performance issues is 39

37 Utilization Optimization Utilization optimization Before: Run multiple commands against each server and VMware, update spreadsheets as compared to running commands on the arrays After: a couple clicks you see the host consumption/chargeback views that clearly indicate where issues are, utilize service levels to indicate how much of each type of storage being used Problem solved: easy single reports to indicate and reclaim or point where more storage needs to be provisioned 40

38 Storage And Application Capacity Trends SLA achievement reporting Before: in order to send a good report to yourself or your boss/cio it would take multiple days to pull all relevant data together in spreadsheet and then validate and send After: Easily customize reports to reflect the needed data and then schedule them for the frequency that is needed for reporting Problem solved: Cut the time to report on the storage environment and consumption to zero from multiple days without the suite with high data accuracy and repeatability 41

39 Performance Trending And Reporting Performance trending and reporting Before: navigate across multiple tools to pull the needed KPIs or wait for the server guys to pull reports and then compare to array reports After: see end-to-end map of the IO path and with a few clicks can navigate and easily see KPIs for each contributing object Problem solved: Significant time savings not having to use multiple tools and CLIs to pinpoint where the performance issues is 42
