10 OpenStack Cloud Management Software OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers & cloud computing technologists working to produce an ubiquitous Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) open source cloud computing platform for public & private clouds. Platinum Sponsors Design Tenets scalability and elasticity are our main goals share nothing, distribute everything (asynchronous and horizontally scalable) any feature that limits our main goals must be optional accept eventual consistency and use it where appropriate Gold Sponsors User stories - Summit videos -

13 13 Technical Overview

14 Configuration Initial View

15 Base Capabilities Verify Setup 15

16 Base Capabilities Deploy LPAR 16

17 Multi-disk Image Support Deploy Multi-disk Image Note you can select different storage templates for different volumes

18 Multi-disk Image Support New Disk at Deploy Adding new volume

19 Multi-disk Image Support New Disk at Deploy - continued

20 Base Capabilities Capture LPAR Activation engine must be installed in LPAR 20

21 Base Capabilities Resize LPAR 21

22 Base Capabilities Migrate LPAR 22

23 Remote Restart Support is for newer Simplified Remote Restart POWER8 and later hosts Can remote restart a single VM or all VMs on a failed host Initial configuration in compute templates

24 Remote Restart - continued Creating new compute template with remote restart enabled LPARs deployed with this template will have remote restart enabled (if other requirements are met) 24

25 Remote Restart - continued Host B has failed. Select host and click Remotely Restart VMs 25

26 Remote Restart - continued Select a specific VM or all. Then select on which (operating) host to restart the VM(s). Then monitor progress: 26

27 Advanced Capabilities Placement Policies 27

28 Advanced Capabilities Compute Templates Compute templates allow using custom CPU/memory/disk settings at deploy time with the same saved image 28

29 Advanced Capabilities Compute Templates 29

30 Advanced Capabilities Storage Templates Storage templates selecting a specific storage subsystem, storage pool and volume type at deploy time, or setting a default for a storage subsystem 30

31 Advanced Capabilities Storage Templates Client are able to set the low-level parameters for thin-provisioned volumes Advanced Capabilities only available for NPIV backed/connected storage (i.e. not SSPs) 31

32 Advanced Capabilities Storage Connectivity Groups Storage connectivity groups allow for: Using different VIO Servers on the same physical system with different storage subsystems and fabrics Grouping of physical systems for LPAR deployment within the storage connectivity group 32

33 Advanced Capabilities Storage Connectivity Groups Storage connectivity groups even allow for using different Fibre Channel ports and/or fabrics within the same VIO Server 33

34 Advanced Capabilities Storage Connectivity Groups 34

35 Advanced Capabilities Storage Connectivity Groups 35

36 Host Groups Benefits: Logical grouping of hosts, smaller clouds within a larger cloud Create tiers of systems with different storage and SLAs Use different placement policies for different tiers or groups of systems Control deployment, mobility and remote restart of LPARs

37 Host Groups - continued Select placement policy for new host group Note new placement policies in PowerVC Add hosts from existing managed hosts

38 Collocation Rules Benefits: Anti-affinity rule for HA Affinity for I/O performance (app server DB on same host) Note: Collocation rules are executed within a host group Collocation rules affect migration (LPM) and remote restart

39 Collocation Rules - continued VMs can be added to a collocation rule as it is created or later They must be already deployed (or managed) VMs

40 Shared Volumes Storage subsystem must support shared attachment of volumes to hosts

41 Shared Volumes - continued View of shared volume

42 PowerVC Post Deploy Scripting PowerVC or later required Configuration script option works only for cloud_init, for AIX and Linux. Allows for simpler calling of scripts and setting Hostname based on DNS lookup Server metadata key-value pairs are useable by cloud_init 42
