EMC IonixUnified Infrastructure Manager

Integrated management of Vblock compute, network & storage infrastructure

Key Abstraction: Elastic Compute Pool

Key Abstraction: ESX Cluster


Unify Infrastructure ManagementUnified Infrastructure Manager (UIM): Vblock element management

Unify compute, network, & storage for Vblocks

– Single point of management for Vblocks– Manages multiple Vblocks across compute,

network, & storage resources (storage Q2)

Simplify configuration management– Provisioning, configuration, & compliance

management– Configures and provisions network access,

storage connectivity and compute blade profile

• Enable infrastructure-as-a-service– Multi-tenancy– Self-service, orchestration– Policy-based compliance & configuration– Practical automation

Centralize Vblock element management– Eliminate need for multiple consoles, multiple

element managers

Maximize Vblock automation with Unified Infrastructure Manager (UIM)

Use Case 1: Manage Across Multiple Vblocks- UIM Status Dashboard

View by datacenter

or site

View by device type

View by device type


Use Case 1: Manage Across Multiple Vblocks - Device/Network Workspace


Use Case 2: Understand the COMPLETE state of the Vblock/UCS

- View Device Properties

Highlighting a specific UCS system

Brings up the Properties, Details and History tabs Chose a property

to get access to the details

Chose a property to get access to

the details



- Out-of-the-box queries to view UCS details

Chose a Compute Blade and launch other queries

(i.e. Service Profiles)




From the returned Service Profiles more queries are

available (i.e. NIC associated with this profile)




Choose a NIC and use a report to see the associated

virtual interfaces




Flexible GUI allows you to view ALL of

these reports in one window






these reports on one screen


Use Case 3: Copy/Edit/Apply Service Profiles and Scheduling

Changes- Create a Service Profile Template

Chose an existing Service Profile from a running UCS system

Name the Service Profile Template

Chose where to store it

Save the Template

Create Variables in the Template - Determine which properties need to be flexible

and will be set when the Service Policy is applied.



Changes- Create a Service Profile Template

Service Profile Template now

available



Changes- Apply a Service Profile via Template

Choose the UCS system(s) to add the

Service Profile toChose the new Service Profile we added from

the list

You will be automatically prompted to fill in the

values for the variables in the template



Changes- Scheduling the Changes

The Job Push Scheduling window is opened for you to

schedule pushing these Service Profiles to the UCSs

All 3 push jobs are listed

You can make changes to specific pushes for

each UCS job


Approve the job to start it running

Approve jobs to start them

running


Changes- Scheduling the Changes

Approve Job to start it running

Jobs status is updated (e.g.

Running)

Job is verified to ensure it is completed

successfully



Changes- Verify Service Profile was Created

Highlight the UCS

Service Profile added to UCS


Use Case 4: Change history for Vblock- Compare Device Revisions via History

Use Device Revision Compare to see specific

changes to UCSs

Service Profile added in previous step


Use Case 4: Change history for Vblock - Make UCS Changes with Config Editor

Use Config Editor to make

quick changes to the UCS



Chose the property you

want to update

Make the requested update

to the property

Schedule the change



Job Scheduler window is

automatically opened

Approve and Submit job


Use Case 4: Change history for Vblock - Verify Config Editor Changes

Once job is completed use

Revision Compare to view changes


Use Case 5: Best Practice Vblock Configuration Management - Run Compliance Checks to Verify Best Practices

Out-of-the-Box Compliance Checks

Compliance Checks that have been enabled these

devices or data center



Highlight the UCSs to check and chose Compliance Audit



Review the Results

Duplicated MACs found between two

UCS systems

Service Profiles are the “recipe” for building services on a vBlock

– Services Profiles combined into an “Offering” to the customer

Integrates with vCloud Portal catalogs to deploy multi-tenant IaaS support
