VMware Built on FlexPod Deployment Guide

VMware Built on FlexPod Overview

Industry trends indicate a vast data center transformation toward shared infrastructures. Enterprise customers are moving away from silos of information and moving toward shared infrastructures to virtualized environments and eventually to the cloud to increase agility and reduce costs.

FlexPod™ is a predesigned, base configuration that is built on the Cisco® Unified Computing System™ (UCS), Cisco Nexus® data center switches, and NetApp® FAS storage components and includes a range of software partners. FlexPod can scale up for greater performance and capacity or it can scale out for environments that need consistent, multiple deployments. FlexPod is a baseline configuration, but also has the flexibility to be sized and optimized to accommodate many different use cases.

VMware Built on FlexPod is a platform that can address current virtualization needs and simplify their evolution to ITaaS infrastructure. It is built on the FlexPod infrastructure stack with added VMware® components including VMware vSphere™ and vCenter™ for virtualized application workloads. The FlexPod Deployment Guide is available at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Data_Center/Virtualization/flexpod_deploy.html.

NetApp partners may access additional information at: https://fieldportal.netapp.com/.

Audience

This document describes the general procedures for deploying VMware on a base FlexPod. The intended audience of this document includes, but is not limited to, sales engineers, field consultants, professional services, IT managers, partner engineering, and customers who want to deploy the VMware Built on FlexPod architecture.

Note For more deployment information, Cisco, NetApp, and VMware partners should contact their local account teams or visit: http://www.netapp.com/us/technology/flexpod/.

VMware Built on FlexPod Configuration Deployment

The first step is to setup and configure the base FlexPod (see the FlexPod Deployment Guide available at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Data_Center/Virtualization/flexpod_deploy.html).

The following section provides information on configuring VMware vSphere and vCenter on a base FlexPod. The FlexPod for VMware architecture is flexible, so the exact configuration detailed below may vary depending on specific customer implementation requirements. The practices, features, and configurations below may be used to build a customized VMware Built on FlexPod deployment.

Cabling Information

Follow the cabling instructions in the FlexPod Deployment Guide available at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Data_Center/Virtualization/flexpod_deploy.html.

VMware ESXi Deployment Procedure

This section describes the installation of ESXi 4.1 on the Cisco UCS and should result in the following:

•A functional ESXi host

•NFS and vMotion network connectivity

•Availability of NFS datastores to the ESXi host

The following outlines the process for installing VMware ESXi within a FlexPod environment.

•VMware ESXi Deployment via UCSM KVM Console.

There are multiple methods for installing ESXi within such an environment. In this case, an ISO image is mounted via the KVM console to make ESXi accessible to the blade.

•Set up the ESXi Host's Administration Password.

•Set up the ESXi Host's Management Networking.

•Set up the management VLAN.

•Set up DNS.

•Set up the NFS and VMotion VMkernel ports with Jumbo Frames MTU.

•Access the ESXi host via Web browser and download VMware vSphere Client.

•Log into VMware ESXi Host using VMware vSphere Client.

•Set up the vMotion VMkernel Port on the Virtual Switch for individual hosts.

•Change VLAN ID for default VM-Traffic Port-group called "VM-Network".

•Mount the Required datastores for individual hosts.

•Set NTP time configuration for individual hosts.

•Move the swapfile from local to NFS export location.

Note For detailed ESXi 4.1 installation instructions, see: http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/vs_pubs.html.

VMware vCenter Server Deployment Procedure

The following section describes the installation of VMware vCenter 4.1 within a FlexPod environment and results in the following:

•A running VMware vCenter virtual machine

•A running SQL virtual machine acting as the vCenter database server

•A vCenter DataCenter with associated ESXi hosts

•VMware DRS and HA functionality enabled

The deployment procedures necessary to achieve these objectives include:

•Log into VMware ESXi Host using VMware vSphere Client.

•Build a SQL Server VM using Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 image.

•Create the required databases and database users. Use the script provided in the vCenter installation directory.

Note VMware vCenter can use one of a number of vendor Databases. This deployment guide assumes Microsoft SQL Server 2008. If a database server already exists and it is compatible with vCenter you can create the required database instance for vCenter and skip this step.

•Build a vCenter virtual machine on another Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine instance. The default disk partitioning used in Windows Server 2008 aligns the disk blocks in the virtual machine disk file with the NetApp storage system disk blocks. If an earlier version of Windows Server is being used, refer to NetApp TR-3747: Best Practices for File System Alignment in Virtual Environments.

•Install SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client on the vCenter virtual machine.

•Create Data Source Name referencing the SQL instance on the vCenter machine.

•Install VMware vCenter Server referencing the SQL server data source previously established.

•Create a vCenter Datacenter.

•Create a new management cluster with DRS and HA enabled.

•Add Hosts to the management cluster.

Note For detailed vCenter 4.1 installation instructions, see: http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/vs_pubs.html.
