Six Key UIM Capabilities & Management Tenets
Multi-Tenancy
Create, edit, activate, control, and assign services to customers
Granular role-based access control and visibility
Self-Service
Integrates with end-user vCloud portals for coordinated orchestration
Provides data center IT teams a provisioning center for simplified interaction
Service-Orchestration
Manage pools of compute, network, and storage resources
Map to templates, tiers, grades or categories of services, cataloging these services, and then managing their configuration, compliance, activation, and delivery
Policy-Based
Avoid misconfigurations with out of the box best practice configuration and compliance checking (e.g., duplicate MAC Address tests and config checking for new elements such as service profiles, vNics, and vHBAs)
Infrastructure Unification
Network, storage, and compute configuration management into one system.
Managing Nexus devices (including Nexus 1000V, 5010, 5020, C7010, and C7018 models)
MDS devices (including MDS 9222i, 9124, 9134, 9216, 9216A, 9216i, 9509, and 9513 models)
Cisco UCS systems (from managing UUID, WWN, MAC address pools to building LAN and SAN connection templates to managing Ethernet adapter and fibre channel adapter profiles)
Practical Automation
1-to-many management (one UIM for multiple Vblocks)
Schedule config changes, push, then validate success
Compare configurations across Vblocks, run enterprise-level reports, track changes, and ensure best practice configuration changes

Extend the Capability of Cisco UCSM
Management of more than one UCS
Policy-based management for UCS change & configuration compliance
Deep UCS visibility, including unlimited revision history and fine-grained tracking, traceability and reproducibility
Ability to schedule changes on a UCS
UCS compliance checking
UCS change reports and reporting
Nexus and MDS switch change and configuration management

Ionix Unified Infrastructure ManagerUse Case 1: Manage across multiple Vblocks

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

Ionix Unified Infrastructure ManagerUse Case 2: Understand the COMPLETE state of the Vblock/UCS

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

Use Case 2: Understand the COMPLETE state of the Vblock/UCS - Out-of-the-box queries to view UCS details
Compute Blade Report brings up all Compute Blades and their 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 on one screen
Flexible GUI allows you to view ALL of these reports in one window

Ionix Unified Infrastructure ManagerUse Case 3: Copy/Edit/Apply Service Profiles and Scheduling Changes

Use Case 3: Copy/Edit/Apply Service Profiles and Scheduling Changes - Create a Service Profile Template
Name the Service Profile Template
Chose where to store it
Create Variables in the Template - Determine which properties need to be flexible and will be set when the Service Policy is applied.
Chose an existing Service Profile from a running UCS system
Save the Template

Use Case 3: Copy/Edit/Apply Service Profiles and Scheduling Changes- Create a Service Profile Template
Service Profile Template now available

Use Case 3: Copy/Edit/Apply Service Profiles and Scheduling Changes - Apply a Service Profile via Template
Choose the UCS system(s) to add the Service Profile to
Chose 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

Use Case 3: Copy/Edit/Apply Service Profiles and Scheduling Changes - Scheduling the Changes
All 3 push jobs are listed
The Job Push Scheduling window is opened for you to schedule pushing these Service Profiles to the UCSs
You can make changes to specific pushes for each UCS job

Use Case 3: Copy/Edit/Apply Service Profiles and Scheduling Changes - Scheduling the Changes
Approve jobs to start them running
Approve Job to start it running
Jobs status is updated (e.g. Running)
Job is verified to ensure it is completed successfully
Approve the job to start it running

Use Case 3: Copy/Edit/Apply Service Profiles and Scheduling Changes - Verify Service Profile was Created
Highlight the UCS
Service Profile added to UCS

Use Case 3: Copy/Edit/Apply Service Profiles and Scheduling Changes - Verify Service Profile was Created
Chose the UCS systems to check
Use a finder query to see ALL service profiles across the UCS systems

Ionix Unified Infrastructure ManagerUse Case 4: Change history for Vblock

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

Make the requested update to the property
Chose the property you want to update
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

Ionix Unified Infrastructure ManagerUse Case 5: Best Practice Vblcok Configuration Management (e.g. Compliance)

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
