Newly created insights into the customer base can be translated into new marketing initiatives. • Client embarked on a revitalization project with IT and Marketing to get all Unica software modules updated. For the modules to be fully operational, client needed an enterprise-ready IBM Cognos environment available to support its Unica campaign software. • Client has extremely rigid and time-consuming processes to design, build, deploy and maintain any new software solution. It was challenging for IT to quickly deliver an IBM Cognos environment to use with the Unica solution. • PureApplication System deploys applications in minutes as a complete solution on a single rack. This “AppStore” concept fits with client’s cloud strategy and delivers superior “Time to Value”

- 31. 3131 © 2013IBM Corporation Lessons Learned 31
- 32. 3232 © 2013IBM Corporation Lessons Learned – Common Problems & Challenges • Must be feasible in a 2-weeks IBM on-site engagement • Success Criteria not precisely defined • Customer (security) processes ‒ Connection to external resources (network, security) must be planned, requested and prepared in advance • Client employees to work on PureExperience alongside their regular job • Built-in images are based on RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) • Original PureExperience process (application assessment & migration) does not always fit to what customer wants to see
- 33. 3333 © 2013IBM Corporation Lessons Learned • The PureExperience requires planning ‒ Shipping and setup of a really large rack ‒ Many people involved from IBM/Customer • Strong background in networking is vital ‒ Basic TCP/IP networking ‒ VLANs ‒ Subnet-IDs, DNS and NTP ‒ (Double-check datacenter switch configuration) • Applying fixes/patches ‒ Latest Fix Pack is FP4 iFix 3 ‒ Installation (still) has to be done by an IBMer Ø Longer term clients should be able to perform upgrade independently ‒ FP1 – FP3 only upgrades firmware on the PSMs Ø PSM RHEV and IWD firmware ‒ Upgrade to FP4 requires additional hardware firmware update Ø V7000, Network and Fibre Channel Switches, Compute Nodes, ESXi ‒ Updated images (OVA) and pattern types Ø Typically large downloads!
- 34. 3434 © 2013IBM Corporation Lessons Learned • PureApplication System can dramatically reduce networking ports ‒ Workloads leverage VLANs within PureApplication System ‒ Reduced bandwidth and ports on external switches in the data center • IBM Construction and Composition Toolkit (ICCT) ‒ Can be quickly and easily deployed as a Virtual Application Pattern! • Integration with external monitoring using SNMP is easy ‒ Download MIB and import into clients monitoring tool ‒ Configure system identification ‒ Create trap destination • Health Check of the system is done by IBM before SGEN • Additional monitoring tools may no longer be needed • Simplicity is cool – PureApplication System can help simplify things!
- 35. 3535 © 2013IBM Corporation 1. Lessons Learned – Integration with external monitoring 1. Download MIB and import in client monitoring product 2. Configure System Identifcation 3. Create trap destination 2. 3.
- 36. 3636 © 2013IBM Corporation Lessons Learned – ICCT deployment • The IBM Image Construction and Composition Toolkit (ICCT) ‒ Can be downloaded from the IBM PureApplication System web console ‒ Can be deployed using a out-of-the-box Virtual Application pattern • Using the Virtual Application patterns is much faster and easier!
- 37. 3737 © 2013IBM Corporation Lessons Learned – Other • Bring-Up Process has improved since GA ‒ Power on PSM1 and it will power on all other blades (FP4 onwards) • FP4 Firmware Update Installation Process ‒ Currently performed by development or SWAT ‒ Updates Switches, Storwize V7000, Compute Node firmware and ESXi ‒ Requires to reboot blades so potential impact to running workloads! Ø Cloud Groups with HA enabled should not be affected • Existing IBM Workload Deployer (IWD) environment can be easily migrated to PureApplication System ‒ Prepare scenarios using IWD before the machines arrives • Certain tasks require physical access to the machine ‒ VGEN (System Verification after power-on) ‒ SGEN (Network Configuration) ‒ Anything that requires access to the Service Laptop
- 38. 3838 © 2013IBM Corporation Networking Concepts • Management Network ‒ Provides user access to the Management Console UI Ø REST and CLI use the same network interface ‒ Integration with external systems Ø LDAP, DNS, NTP, etc ‒ Access mode port because only one VLAN is supported ‒ Separated to ensure access • Customer Data Networks ‒ Used by customers to access deployed workloads (vsys and vapp) ‒ Deployed workloads use this to connect with external applications ‒ External TEMs, databases, etc • Shared DNS ‒ Same DNS or forwarding being used to common ‒ Doesn’t need to be the same DNS, but the resolved names need to match • Recommend customer management be untagged and customer data networks be tagged ‒ You will always have one VLAN for management but you could have one or more VLANs for customer data
- 39. 3939 © 2013IBM Corporation Lessons Learned – Networking • Information in the TDA is a good starting point for Networking ‒ Required in order to populate the “SGEN” UI panels • Key to successful Networking Configuration requires more though ‒ Review of customer switch port configuration essential ‒ Helps minimise impact to existing customer networks ‒ Speeds up the overall process of Network Configuration and Connectivity • Physically connect the system to the network together with the client ‒ Monitor switches on both sides in case of connectivity issues Ø Requires involvement customer network engineer ‒ Be especially careful when connecting a production network! • We provide some common Networking Examples here ‒ Untagged/Access Network Definitions ‒ Tagged/Trunk Network Definitions ‒ Tagged/Trunk Network Definitions – Untagged Native VLAN ‒ Tagged/Trunk Network Definitions – Tagged Native VLAN • More detailed information provided in the following session TES-2596 “Integrating PureApplication System into your Network” Thu 2nd May 3:45 – 4:45pm (Palazzo J)
