VMware ESXi Dell Solution Guide

Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers enabled with VMware® ESXi represent the next generation of servers designed specifically for virtualization. Through its close partnership with VMware, Dell is able to offer qualified VMware-based virtualization solutions optimized for today’s active data centers. With its BIOS-like footprint, VMware ESXi Server offers a standards-based management solution designed for reduced deployment time, centralized management, and increased security. When coupled with energy efficient Dell PowerEdge servers, you can also take advantage of reduced power and cooling needs, the latest in CPU technologies, reduced server downtime, and greater reliability.

This guide will help you understand the differences between ESXi Server and ESX Server versions of VMware’s Virtual Infrastructure 3 (VI3) products as they are deployed on Dell servers, how to deploy, manage, license, and support your solution, and Dell’s deployment best practices. A deployment best practices checklist is also provided (see “Appendix A: Deployment Best Practices Check List” on page 33).

VMware ESXi Server is sold as an OEM product pre-installed on Dell servers. Because ESXi Server is pre-installed, your server can be deployed within minutes by simply connecting a keyboard, monitor, and mouse, and by enabling basic Ethernet-based connectivity for management traffic; there is no need to configure local storage, install ESX from CD, or configure the server via the service console. With server data center deployments often handled by several technicians and engineers through a formal deployment process, eliminating these steps may save time and simplify IT deployment flows.

Dell™ Latitude™ D630 Quick Reference Guide

For optimal computer performance and to help preserve BIOS settings, operate your Dell™ portable computer with the main battery installed at all times. One battery is supplied as standard equipment in the battery bay.

NOTE:
Because the battery may not be fully charged, use the AC adapter to connect your new computer to an electrical outlet the first time you use the computer. For best results, operate the computer with the AC adapter until the battery is fully charged. To view battery charge status, click Start→ Settings→ Control Panel→ Power Options→ Power Meter.

NOTE:
Battery operating time (the time the battery can hold a charge) decreases over time. Depending on how often the battery is used and the conditions under which it is used, you may need to purchase a new battery during the life of your computer.

Battery operating time varies depending on operating conditions. You can install an optional second battery in the media bay to significantly increase operating time. Operating time is significantly reduced when you perform operations including, but not limited to, the following:
• Using optical drives
• Using wireless communications devices, PC Cards, ExpressCards, media memory cards, or USB devices
• Using high-brightness display settings, 3D screen savers, or other power-intensive programs such as complex 3D graphics applications
• Running the computer in maximum performance mode (see “Configuring Power Management Settings” in your User’s Guide).

Shifting from Dell rack to HP BladeSystem a Migration Guide

Some of the best-run companies in the world are putting HP BladeSystem innovation to work for their business – more than any other vendor. In the first quarter of 2007, HP shipped four server blades for each one shipped from Dell. When it comes to blades, Dell’s traditional rack-mount customers are in a tough spot. Stick with the growing challenges of rack servers or upgrade to the limited blade portfolio available from Dell. Building your rack infrastructure was probably not very easy.

While it might be tempting to buy more of the same, when it comes time for your next server upgrade, HP makes it easy to choose – and even easier to integrate – a BladeSystem into your environment. Imagine the savings in administrative overhead when it is possible to configure your infrastructure in 15 minutes or less 3 and to reduce the time to perform upgrades and patches from 10 minutes to 20 seconds per server.

In typical rack environments, the bigger the system, the more unproductive time is spent managing your expanding environment. More wasted power is expended, leading to needless demands on your air conditioning system. Different departments require different applications, different programmes and different criteria. These demands lead to unmanaged growth or ‘server sprawl’. If you want more reliability, you have to buy twice as many parts. With this ‘racked, stacked and wired’ approach, you are left with problems such as:
•Inflexibility
•Low productivity
•High electric bills
•Over-provisioning

Deploying Oracle Application Server 10g on Dell PowerEdge Servers with Linux

Over the past ten years, one of the most significant trends in corporate IT has been the emergence of the Application Platform Suite (APS). An Application Platform Suite provides the infrastructure for corporations to develop and deploy their own applications, as well as deploying third-party applications. The main enabling technology for Application Platform Suites is Java™ 2 Enterprise Edition software. J2EE provides not only powerful software tools for Enterprise development, but also provides comprehensive standards to help ensure inter-operability of all deployed applications.

While object-oriented data models are at the heart of J2EE implementations, it is possible to map an object-oriented model to a traditional relational model. This is more than an academic exercise, since the bulk of corporate data is currently stored in relational databases. This is not likely to change soon, since relational databases provide the performance, security, and high availability characteristics that corporations demand for storing persistent data. Fortunately, the combination of J2EE-enabled Application Platform Suites and persistent relational database stores has proven to be remarkably flexible and robust, and is now considered the standard platform for application development and deployment.

Therefore, it should be no surprise that one of the leading APS is offered by the leading database vendor, Oracle ® Corporation. Oracle Application Server (OracleAS) 10g Enterprise Edition offers the advantage of tight integration with Oracle Database 10g. Moreover, Oracle Application Server 10g Enterprise Edition provides a comprehensive solution for developing, integrating, and deploying a corporation’s applications, portals, and Web sites. The robust architecture of Oracle Application Server Enterprise Edition is designed to provide outstanding J2EE performance and to support a broad spectrum of applications. Major categories of Oracle Application Server applications include Business Intelligence, portal applications, wireless applications, identity management, and business integration tools. Not only does Oracle Application Server provide a platform for developing new categories of applications, it also offers a consolidated framework for deploying legacy Oracle applications, such as Forms and Reports. In addition, Oracle Application Server middleware forms the core of Oracle’s Fusion strategy for integrating diverse Enterprise applications.

The Insider’s Guide to Windows Vista

Windows Vista is here at last. One of the largest software projects ever undertaken, Vista is indisputably a milestone—despite Microsoft’s having abandoned many of its most ambitious goals for the OS—and not just for Microsoft but for the entire PC industry. Of course, Vista is not without its skeptics. PC makers say it will require more processing power, graphics capabilities, and memory than is typical of today’s mainstream machines. Software vendors complain that Vista’s vaunted security features are, in fact, locking them out. Users may wonder if it offers enough that’s truly new to be worth the bother—particularly given that a number of Vista features and bundled applications are also available for Windows XP.

We’ve performed extensive, hands-on analysis of Vista and sorted out the claims to help you decide whether, or more realistically when, to make the move—and to show you what you can expect when you do.—next: The Vista Promise >

The Vista Promise
Microsoft calls Vista “a breakthrough computing experience.” That’s marketing hyperbole, for sure, but it’s not entirely unfounded. The new OS is far more than Windows XP with a pretty new face. Many aspects of Vista are substantive improvements: stronger security, better built-in apps, networking enhancements, parental controls, and DirectX 10 graphics support, to name just a few. As a whole, Vista feels more evolutionary than revolutionary. That’s not all bad; one of Microsoft’s strengths has been its commitment to backward compatibility, which continues with Vista. Vista’s real competitor, though, is Windows XP. For many users, XP is good enough. And for all the advances in Vista, it’s hard to avoid seeing the things that aren’t as good as they could have been..

Intel vPro™ and Intel Centrino Pro Processor Technology Quick Start Guide

Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) provides various configuration options for customers to use when deploying Intel® vPro™ and Intel® Centrino® Pro processor technology-enabled systems into their environment. This document will provide a step-by-step approach of what needs to be done to successfully deploy Intel AMT systems. It will not provide step-by-step instructions for each specific process as those are typically well documented in other Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or Independent Software Vendor (ISV) articles. This document will focus on how to integrate Intel AMT devices into the LANDesk* Management products.

Intel AMT provides significant flexibility in order to meet the needs of various customer environments. This flexibility leads to a number of decisions that have to be made as a customer plans and implements their deployment of Intel AMT-enabled systems. Some of the decisions can be made quickly depending on customer infrastructure and requirements. This document will highlight some of the clear-cut questions and provide links of where to go if further detail is required.

The order of some of the steps outlined in this document can happen in parallel. For example, you could verify that the router will allow traffic through port 9971 (infrastructure setup) at the same time you are configuring the Intel AMT drivers on the client. For simplicity, we will proceed with the following approach:

SLAD 2 Developers and Administrators Guide

The Security Local Auditing Daemon, or short SLAD, is the local component for network security scans done by the BOSS project. In principle the SLAD is a daemon that can run any given program as a demon, capturing that program’s output on the standard output and standard error streams. This output is stored in memory until requested by the user. For ease of extensibility and maintenance, the daemon reads the information about plugins (programs to be run on the local machine for auditing purposes) on startup from XML-based configuration files.

The SLAD executable, /opt/slad/bin/sladd, contains both the daemon and a command-line based frontend to it. When invoked with wrong or without any parameters, it displays the following helptext:
Usage: sladd [OPTION…]
-p, –pluginpath=/opt/slad/plugins

Cisco IOS XR Security Guide

This introduction contains the following:
• Definition of security and the role of security in the larger context of high network availability
• A preview of the modules in the Cisco IOS XR Security Guide
This guide describes many aspects of the system security that Cisco IOS XR software provides on the Cisco CRS-1 routers and Cisco 12000 Series Router.

Internet attacks occur every day, and these attacks can include core routers as targets—usually with some form of denial of service (DoS) attack. Fortunately, the Cisco CRS-1 router and Cisco 12000 Series Router come with a highly robust, built-in security structure. These routers can withstand attacks and remain in service until the necessary responses have been completed. This guide describes the software architecture and the hardware support for addressing these attacks. It also provides guidance on how you can further protect your investment in these products. Our security goal for the Cisco CRS-1 router and the Cisco 12000 Series Router is to neutralize attacks and recover quickly from any degradation of service. The point is to keep the router always operating, regardless of even a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. We developed the systems that run Cisco IOS XRsoftware so that an attack on one process, service, or plane does not compromise any other process, service, or plane. For example, a process that is shut down automatically restarts, and when needed, a patch can be applied without restarting the router. Essentially, these mechanisms are:
• Modularity of services
• Separation and isolation of management, control, and data (or forwarding) planes
• Multiple layers of increasingly stringent defense
• Convenient upgradability

Personal488 User’s Guide

The family of Personal488 PC/IEEE 488 controller interfaces includes the six (6) interfaces which are discussed in this manual. All of them are IEEE 488.2 compatible and are supported by 32-bit Driver488 software for Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000 and NT. These interfaces are discussed in the following Personal488 packages.

The installation process consists of running an installation setup program, and for non plug-and-play products running the Add New Hardware program found in the Windows Control Panel. The installation setup program will automatically determine the version of Windows (e.g. Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, or XP) and copy all the necessary drivers and support files to the appropriate destinations. Note that on Windows systems with AutoPlay enabled, the setup program will automatically start upon insertion of the CD.

Install the software before installing the hardware. Since the installation setup program installs driver and INF files, plug-and-play boards will be automatically configured upon first startup, thus eliminating the need to insert the CD and browse for support files. For non plug-and-play devices all that is required to complete the installation is to run “Add New Hardware.” This will notify Windows that a new device exists.

High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing for AIX Concepts and Facilities Guide

The IBM tool for building UNIX-based mission-critical computing platforms is the HACMP software. The HACMP software ensures that critical resources, such as applications, are available for processing. HACMP has two major components: high availability (HA) and cluster multi-processing (CMP).

The primary reason to create HACMP clusters is to provide a highly available environment for mission-critical applications. For example, an HACMP cluster could run a database server program which services client applications. The clients send queries to the server program which responds to their requests by accessing a database, stored on a shared external disk. In an HACMP cluster, to ensure the availability of these applications, the applications are put under HACMP control. HACMP takes measures to ensure that the applications remain available to client processes even if a component in a cluster fails. To ensure availability, in case of a component failure, HACMP moves the application (along with resources that ensure access to the application) to another node in the cluster.

A Guide to ERRM

Enterprise Rapid Recovery Methodology (ERRM) provides a complete heterogeneous recovery solution for your Open Systems and Intel IT infrastructure. Developed by Indigo Stone and offered through IBM Business Continuity and Recovery Services (BCRS), ERRM is a completely reliable, repeatable and certain recovery solution. . ERRM combines the customer’s backups and the BCRS recovery site’s infrastructure to provide a total recovery solution. ERRM’s software tools greatly reduce recovery times, the dependence on technical expertise and management time required to perform a system recovery. The ERRM methodology utilizes a common approach that can be used across the customer’s heterogeneous server environment.

Methodology:
ERRM monitors a system’s configuration to help ensure all required resources are available at the recovery site. If these resources are not available, the recovery provider is advised so that additional requirements can be addressed.
• How does it do this? Profiling - is an intelligent agent that resides on the customer’s system and captures only the vital configuration information necessary for recovery. The profiling process captures data such as hardware configuration, operating system levels, system tuning, network connections, system boot files, and information pertaining to data storage.
• The Profile captures this data on a scheduled basis and then sends it back to a secure server at the customer’s desired BCRS recovery location. Having stored this information, it is then compared against any previously collected information to ensure the recovery site has all the resources required to recover the profiled system. This reporting functionality can also be utilized in-house for as an aid with asset management and change control.

SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server on IBM Hardware

The SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server (SLES) distribution is designed to provide a secure and reliable operating system for a variety of purposes. Because security requirements obviously depend on the applications and environment, it is not possible to simply certify that the system is ”secure”, a more precise definition is needed. The Common Criteria (CC) provides a widely recognized methodology for security certifications. A CC evaluation is fundamentally a two-step process, consisting of defining the ”security target” which describes the features that are to be evaluated, and then testing and verifying that the system actually implements these features with a sufficient level of assurance.

This document is a security guide that explains how to set up the evaluated configuration, and provides information to administrators and ordinary users to ensure secure operation of the system. It is intended to be self-contained in addressing the most important issues at a high level, and refers to other existing documentation where more details are needed. The document primarily addresses administrators, but the section ”Security guidelines for users” is intended for ordinary users of the system as well as administrators. Knowledge of the Common Criteria is not required for readers of this document.

Manage SAS Metadata Server Availability with IBM Technology

SAS Metadata Server, one of the key technology applications in SAS®9, manages and protects information that is shared across the SAS®9 framework, and can be used with various third-party monitoring tools. The ability to surface metadata from one or more repositories and serve it to applications via SAS Open Metadata Architecture allows companies to gather and store data in multiple formats and locations without losing the ability to derive consistent business intelligence from the data. The benefits of metadata are numerous, and the ability of the SAS Metadata Server to provide a centralized and easily managed system for consistent data repositories means that customers know where their data is located, what it’s made up of, and how it’s been modified. The SAS Metadata Server enables companies to, quickly and efficiently, get the right answers for all their strategic business intelligence needs.

This paper offers guidelines that enable you to build a resilient environment to support and manage the SAS Metadata Server by using IBM technology.

Fault Tolerance of the SAS Metadata Server
The SAS Metadata Server is a vital element of the SAS®9 architecture that benefits from being deployed in a resilient environment. Data protection such as that provided by Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks (RAID) file systems, and system monitoring such as that provided by the IBM Virtualization Suite support a fault-tolerant strategy.

The SAS Metadata Server uses “in-memory” architecture to process queries and updates, which means that all queried and updated metadata is held in memory by the server. To avoid paging, the server should have sufficient RAM to hold all active metadata entries.

System Authentication for AIX and Linux using the IBM Directory Server

System- and User- Authentication is common task in every IT-environment. Various requirements such as security, scalability, availability, multi-platform support and shortcomings of other solutions like NIS lead to the fact that LDAP is becoming more and more popular for that task. Althoug LDAP can be used for much more, we’ll focus on how LDAP can be used for system authentication in an AIX (Version 5.2 and above) and Linux environment using the IBM Directory Server 4.1 in this paper.

For a better illustration of the required design and implementation steps we’ll use a real world scenario derived from a customer project. We’ll first describe the server- and user scenario and the customer administration- and security reqierements in Chapter 2. Based on these requirements we’ll explain the design decisions (e.g. schema, namespace) for the directoy in Chapter 3. In Chapter 4 and 5 we document the implementation steps for the LDAP-Server on AIX and the Client implementation steps for AIX and Linux respectively.

We do not cover general LDAP basics here. Good material for understanding LDAP can be found in [1] and [2]. General product documentation for the IBM Directory Server can be found in [5] and [6], whereas an excelent LDAP lecture can be enjoyed online in [9].

Availability and Scalability considerations will be added to a future version of this paper (a highly available and scaleable LDAP-Server-Infrastructure can be achieved with the replication features of the IBM Directory Server in combination with server load balaning using for example the IBM Network Dispatcher) as well as other topics (see Chapter 6).

Server Consolidation Security - Firewall and VPN Solutions for IBM eServers

Today’s on-demand enterprise can gain significant benefits by consolidating servers into their mainframe and midrange systems. Whether an organization uses IBM® eServer® iSeries model 800s or the IBM eServer zSeries® z990, consolidation of servers is now possible, yielding substantial return on investment. Whether it’s mainframes or midrange, organizations can reduce administration, infrastructure, and systems costs significantly by running many virtual servers inside a single eServer zSeries or iSeries machine, instead of using tens or hundreds of x86-architecture based PC servers.

The conversion to server consolidation, although very beneficial to the on-demand organization, is not without concerns. Traditional mainframes and midrange systems were considered very secure. But the introduction of Linux® and Microsoft® Windows® based systems inside these machines, and TCP/IP networking connecting them all together on virtual LANs, introduces the same security concerns that physical servers and LANs have had for many years.

Stonesoft’s StoneGate firewall and VPN solution for IBM eServer zSeries and iSeries provides a unique security solution to address the network security needs of this new architecture design. StoneGate excels in security, manageability, availability and security. This whitepaper will explore the issues surrounding server consolidation on the mainframe and midrange systems, and detail how StoneGate can address the security concerns—providing for a secure, on demand workplace, a significant return on investment and the enablement of new business processes.

IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management Server Overview

Master data management (MDM) allows organizations to generate business value from their most important information. Managing master data, or key business facts about a company’s customers, products and accounts, can not only drive revenue but also help to reduce costs, increase flexibility and reduce risk. IBM Multiform Master Data Management helps organizations deliver business value by centralizing multiple data domains and providing the inherent functionality to employ multiple master data usage styles.

The three usage styles for managing master data are collaborative, operational and analytical. Companies employing the collaborative style use MDM to define, verify and augment master data to establish a single understanding of key information. Operational MDM manages the delivery and consumption of master data in day-to-day operations, while analytical MDM is used to stage master data destined for analytical systems that can supply rich insight into operational processes.

IBM® InfoSphere™ Master Data Management Server is an operational MDM solution from IBM that provides the strategic architecture companies need to solve critical enterprise MDM issues. InfoSphere Master Data Management Server helps organizations realize the full benefit of their investments in customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and business intelligence (BI) systems, as well as integration tools and data warehouses. InfoSphere Master Data Management Server maintains master data for multiple domains including customer, account and product, as well as other data types such as location and privacy preferences. Through business services, InfoSphere Master Data Management Server facilitates integration with all applications and business processes that consume master data.

X i Graphics - A Small Case Study Accelerated-X™ on AIX

Xi Graphics, Inc. (”XiG”) was approached by a US-based division of a large, well-known company active internationally as a provider of control systems that employ Wall Displays of computer generated graphics. The division uses IBM System p products, and was having some difficulties with Power5 Model 520 systems, among others, using the IBM model GXT135P graphics card. While the graphics card could support two monitors and had hardware support for image overlays, the IBM-supplied X Window System sub-system software would not support overlays or more than one monitor per GXT135P graphics card.

Within about a 90 day period, XiG had provided the company (now a customer) with not only the ability to use two monitors and image overlays with each GXT135P card, the XiG Accelerated-X brand of X server/driver sub-system software also provided many features not available with the IBM software, and to top it off, increased the speed of the graphics system by a significant amount. Figure 1 shows the results of running the industry standard X11 Perf benchmark - first using IBM’s AIX X server/driver software, then using XiG’s Accelerated-X Summit Series X server/driver software. The customer also tested the XiG software with his applications software on a number of systems, all running the AIX v5.2 or v5.3 kernels and CDE desktop, to verify correct operation.

IBM TotalStorage DS4000 Storage SAS 9 on the IBM for eServer p590

This document presents the storage findings and recommendations for SAS 9.1 with IBM TotalStorage DS4000 disk arrays (formerly known as FAStT). Recently IBM and SAS team members tested SAS 9.1 at the IBM Beaverton Test Labs. SAS ETL Test Suite 1.4 was used for the test workload generator. The test environment hardware included a SAN attached IBM TotalStorage DS4400 and the IBM p5 eServer using AIX. In addition to the DS4400, most of the storage findings and layout recommendations can be applied toward any of the members of the IBM TotalStorage DS4000 family including the DS4100, DS4300, DS4400, DS4500, and DS4800.

The objectives achieved in this test effort included CPU sizing exercises, and storage disk layout validation/performance testing. Storage testing focused on filesystem configuration, host bus adapters quantity, and disk array placement. In addition, the team tested the DS4000 Storage Management physical disk array placement software algorithm and completed the TotalStorage Proven ™ certification testing for SAS 9 with the stated IBM hardware. During testing the initial DS4000 storage I/O parameters were documented and used as a performance baseline. The team changed DS4000 disk parameters and tested those changes with the same ETL Test Suite data comparing the results against the baseline test. This document focuses on some of the relevant application performance results along with DS4000 storage configuration recommendations based on the completed performance testing.
