7. Copyright 2007 FUJITSU LIMITED 7 Server orchestration Functions Effects Automated configuration of a range of parameters *1 based on Excel or CSV format definitions. Auto output of current configuration details to a configuration definition file. Existent configuration files can be reused when adding servers even if configuration has changed. Initial Introduction Template 1. Configuration 4. Saving 3.Export 2.Import Appropriation ・ Edition RC VE management server Office Machine Center Data conveyance Client No need to be on the site at all times. No need to restore, as configuration errors no longer happen. Multi-server systems can be configured concurrently. Exporting the implemented system image to the configuration definition file means: Configuration is saved by backup making new implementation possible just by importing the configuration definition file. New system configurations become effective by appropriating configuration definition files from a draft. *1 ) The following parameters are covered. Chassis (chassis name, SNMP community name, IP address), LAN Switch Blade (LAN Switch name, IP address, SNMP community name, user name, password), Server Blade (physical server name, IP address, VLAN setting), Server recovery configuration (spare server name, VLAN shift, automated shift, SAN connectivity virtualization function setting) Appropriating ・ Edition 1.Design

Server name IP address Interface name Easy creation of system cloning image via GUI Simplified installation to new servers by automated configuration of server’s unique information based on the existent system image. Effect New server addition to existing system becomes easier – lower workloads less time. Blade #5 System is installed Note VMware environment (VM Host, VM Guest) does not apply with these functions. Server Addition Common master Slot #5 Installation only

9. Copyright 2007 FUJITSU LIMITED 9 Cloning in SAN boot environment SAN is pre-configured by SAN connectivity virtualization even to empty slots. New servers can be installed using automatic cloning. Effects Blade#1 SAN connectivity virtualization Servers can be installed automatically by cloning from 2 nd server onwards. Server addition becomes more effective, operational times reduce as, SAN configuration and server installation times from media pack are shortened. Since SAN can be pre-configured once, new servers can be added whenever required without SAN changes.

10. Copyright 2007 FUJITSU LIMITED 10 Hardware Maintenance by SAN connectivity virtualization Functions When a server fails, RC VE can reconfigure the virtual WWN automatically for the replacement blade server. The failed server can be replaced without SAN configuration. Effects Operation1Operation2 Blade#1Slot#2 SAN Connectivity Virtualization Operation1Operation2 Blade#2 New Blade Blade#2 is replaced by a new blade Server replacement now only consists of pulling out and inserting servers. New server restart is enabled just by pressing power on. Replacement

Copyright 2007 FUJITSU LIMITED 11 System disc backup(1) Blade #1 Blade #2 Blade #3 Management Server System image 1~3 generation RC VE Blade #3 Blade #2 Blade #1 Managed server Functions Physical server system disks available to Linux and Windows. As amount of used space is compressed, backup is highly effective. As only system disc is targeted, no complicated parameter setting is required. Image is unified by management server, so generation administration is also easier. Effects Shorter times for backup and restore plus easy operation via GUI. Recovery by restoring the failed server. Recovery by restoring the new server. Disk on physical server system Back up ※ In the case of logical disc, the first disc installed in a server is the target of this function. In cases where system disc consists of multiple partitions, all partitions are the target of this backup/restore function. ※ File system check is recommended before backup is conducted.

13. Copyright 2007 FUJITSU LIMITED 13 Server fault recovery Internal Disc ConfigurationSAN Configuration Characteristics Slow - as Management LAN is used to recover the server. ※ Without SAN connectivity Fast – as SAN is used to recover the server. ※ Without Internal disc Use - Application servers without data - File servers with data - On failed servers where data is saved to a system disk, only OK to recover backed up data - Only Linux, Windows (VMware not applied) No limitations Image recovery Management LAN SAN System backup for recovery is saved on management server. Recovery achieved by restoring via management LAN. When server fails, recovery achieved by connecting to system image on SAN and rebooting on spare server Recovery Management server Spare server operation server Operational server Spare server Boot typeLocal bootSAN boot

14. Copyright 2007 FUJITSU LIMITED 14 Server recovery in local boot environment Notes ・ Image restore (around 1 hour) and operation confirmation enables recovery within a few hours. ・ VMware environment (VM Host, VM Guest) image is not included. ・ Backup restore of system and data disks not included in backup/estore. ・ The size of the spare server disk should be the same as the original application server disk. Functions Create backup images in advance from embedded system volume, deploy to a spare server and boot spare server when server is down. Operation will then restarted at the moment the backup is received by spare server. The failed server#3 is replaced by spare server and server#3 repaired. Application on spare server can be moved back to repaired server#3. When spare server not available, backup images of failed server can be restored to a replaced server. Switch blade port VLAN setting is automatic. Effects Enables quick recovery even if Windows, Linux and virtual servers are in a mixed environment. Spare server can be shared by multiple managed servers. Linux Blade #1 Win Blade #2 Win Blade #3 Spare server Back up image RC VE Management Server Blade #3 Blade #2 Blade #1 Deployment Recovery

15. Copyright 2007 FUJITSU LIMITED 15 Server recovery in SAN boot environment Recovery time from failed server to spare server shortened. (to just a few minutes) Server can be replaced without reconfiguring SAN environment. Switch blade port VLAN can be set automatically. Spare server can stand by in a stopped state. Saves power consumption. Spare server can be shared between multiple managed servers. Functions Effects Combining with ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser 、 enables SAN storage configuration and visualization. Note SAN connection needs WWN zoning.
