Amtrak -: 08/2010 - 05/2012
21 month(s) Server / Storage Consolidation & Migration Architect
Project Description: Amtrak hired IBM to consolidate the old servers in their datacenters to
new virtualization environment, there are approx 740 servers with 530TB of data running on
operating system Windows, Linux and AIX servers.
Nature of project is server virtualization, consolidation and migration. It involves replacing
old/legacy computing systems with new one and merging small computing units with one
large computing system like-for-like (means same vendor and version). This would in turn
reduce the administrative, operating, licensing and operational costs for the customer while
providing a more robust and scalable computing environments. It allows multiple virtual

6. servers, with heterogeneous operating systems to run in isolation, side-by-side on the same
physical machine.
Project Contribution:
As a Migration Specialist at Onsite ( USA) and was involved in all the phases of project life
cycle. Study phase, Planning Phase , Designing phase and Implementation phase. I was
involved in Study and Analyzing customer infrastructure for Server Consolidation , Propose
the appropriate tools and techniques best suits for the customer environment from migration
prospective, Understand applications residing on the servers, Study the Application
dependencies, Preparing documentation( Wintel and Unix Migration Process , Cutover
documents etc.) ,Used tools and techniques ( Scope, Sizing , TSD), Planning Migration
Strategies with Onsite Architects Planning and Migrating Servers to the Virtualized
environment.
Other than above work I prepared documentation to meet the objective of the project.
Following are the documents which I used in analyzing of Servers are: reports from TADDM
data collection, creation of Sizing documents, TSD Creation, Score Card. For designing the
documents I prepared Amtrak initiation phase for different Waves, Unix Global Zone
Grouping, Deep Dive document, MF dependency document .For Planning of Wintel and
Unix Migration Strategies with Onsite Architects I prepared documents like, C&M migration
planning, Unix Migration process, Cutover document for Wintel and Unix, Wave wise
Cutover checklist in compilation with Amtrak visual take down. Prepared technical
documents, Delivered work request to customer on time.
• Access the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to create the LPAR’s on the AIX
machines.

copy
• Help the customer teams to finish the testing on new servers and provide them the after
migration support.

AVIS -: 10/2009 - 07/2010
10 month(s) Wintel and UNIX Migration Lead
Project Description: The ultimate goal of this project is to migrate the Windows, Linux and
Solaris servers and the Database data of the applications running on them from the
customer’s location to the IBM data center.
I was working as Wintel and UNIX Migration Engineer and provided technical support to the
project by building the target servers using Platespin Migrate, VMware Converter, FLAR
from the NAS device.
Project Contribution: As Wintel and UNIX Migration lead, I came up with the process,
which goes like:
• Migrate the windows and Linux OS using Platespin Migrate and VMware Converter
• After installing OS from FLAR on Solaris servers,
• Created disk groups using VERITAS volume manager.
• Created volumes on the SAN device attached to the target servers.
• Created VERITAS file system on the target server and
• Mounted the VERITAS file system to accommodate the database data to the respective
locations using rsync tool.
RSYNC tool helps in syncing the database data from the NAS device. This is the
implementation area of the system life cycle. Once we make the target server ready with OS
and databases up and running on them we handover the server to other team (ITD) for further
quality testing and to ensure the target server is good to give back to client.
By adhering the above process we are able to migrate the Solaris servers and data to the IBM
datacenter which fulfills the client’s requirement. This process requires specialist skills of
Solaris administration, Solaris Migration tools and technology like FLAR, VERITAS volume
Manager, RSYNC tool for data syncing which I have from my previous projects and
experience.
