12 IBM Virtual Integrated Blade Environment BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager (BOFM) Customer pain points around I/O Management Deployment times are too long LAN and SAN administrators have to wait for the hardware to arrive in order to determine the MAC and WWNs then configure their networks and storage Also some are doing hands on deployment at the physical server. Management for a server failure is complex & impacts business Downtime is unacceptable for many after hours failures is particularly tough on IT staff Have to reconfigure LAN/SAN resources when a blade is replaced SAN zoning and LUN masking is affected Need a better way to deploy in Distributed environment Clients do not have the budget to either maintain and send IT staff to each remote location every time they need to either add or replace a Blade server

IBM Virtual Integrated Blade Environment Virtualisation Sizing Introduction The IBM BladeCenter Virtualisation Sizing Guide provides general recommendations for server consolidation ratios applicable

21 IBM Virtual Integrated Blade Environment Virtualisation Sizing Introduction The IBM BladeCenter Virtualisation Sizing Guide provides general recommendations for server consolidation ratios applicable to IBM BladeCenter servers. The recommendations are based on server utilization statistics from thousands of deployed physical servers that were targeted for physical-to-virtual (P2V) consolidation. The guide provides the number of recommended virtual machines to consolidate on host servers with different configurations based on choice of processor and total system memory capacity. V.I.B.E. Virtualisation Sizing Legacy 2-P Workload to 1vCPU Conservative Consolidation Legacy 2-P Workload to 1vCPU Aggressive Consolidation IBM HS22 IBM HS22V IBM HX5 2S Intel Xeon L GHz 6C 24GB 7 / MEM 12 / MEM 2S Intel Xeon L GHz 6C 48GB 15 / MEM 24 / MEM 2S Intel Xeon L GHz 6C 96GB 30 / MEM 49 / MEM 2S Intel Xeon L GHz 6C 36GB 12 / MEM 18 / MEM 2S Intel Xeon L GHz 6C 72GB 24 / MEM 35 / MEM 2S Intel Xeon L GHz 6C 144GB 47 / MEM 70 / MEM 2S Intel Xeon L GHz 8C 32GB 10 / MEM 16 / MEM 2S Intel Xeon L GHz 8C 64GB 20 / MEM 33 / MEM 2S Intel Xeon L GHz 8C 128GB 40 / MEM 66 / MEM Each cell in the above table indicates the number of virtual machines and the constraint based on the required CPU and Memory Headroom. For example, 15 / MEM means that this configuration can support 15 virtual machines (VMs) before more memory is required.
