Chapter 1 Overview of Operations, Maintenance, and

Monitoring

This chapter provides an overview of operation, maintenance, and monitoring of Resource Orchestrator. For additional information on the operation, maintenance, and monitoring of this product, refer to the configuration information in the

"Setup Guide CE".

Flow of Service Provision Using Applications

The flow of service provision using applications in an environment where Resource Orchestrator has been installed is as shown below.

Figure 1.1 Flow of Service Provision Using Applications

* Note: Necessary when using firewalls (Firewall), server load balancers (SLB), or L2 switches.

1. Application for use

The tenant user applies to use an L-Platform. For details, refer to "5.2 Subscribe to an L-Platform" in the "User's Guide for Tenant Users CE".

2. Approval

The tenant administrator approves the application by a tenant user to use an L-Platform. For details, refer to "9.3 Approving an Application" in the "User's Guide for Tenant Administrators CE".

3. Assessment

The infrastructure administrator assesses the content of the application to use an L-Platform from the tenant administrator or tenant user.

For details, refer to "10.2 Assessing an Application" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators CE".

4. Notification of settings for firewalls and server load balancers

When using a firewall or a server load balancer, the infrastructure administrator prepares a script for configuring the firewall or server load balancer.

Based on the information provided by the infrastructure administrator, the tenant administrator notifies the tenant user of the configuration information for the firewall or server load balancer.

- 2 -

5. Configure firewalls

When configuring an application on an L-Server that has been deployed on the public LAN, the tenant user needs to create a rule that enables access to that L-Server from the public LAN.

6. Configure applications

The tenant user performs the installation and environment settings necessary for the application to be provided as a service by the L-Server.

7. Confirm communication with applications

The tenant user checks that there are no problems with the applications installed on the L-Server, and that the L-Server can be accessed from the public LAN.

When a firewall has not been configured, configure one. If there are no problems in the communication check, proceed to the next step. If there are problems, resolve them and check communication again.

8. Configure server load balancers

When an L-Platform has a server load balancer deployed, the tenant user performs configuration of the server load balancer.

9. Check communication with server load balancers

When an L-Platform has a server load balancer deployed, test that the settings of the server load balancer are correct. It is necessary to configure the rules for the firewall so that communication using the virtual IP address configured for the server

load balancer is possible. If there are no problems in the communication check, proceed to the next step. If there are problems, resolve them and check communication again.

10. Configure firewalls

Configure address translation and firewall rules, and then test that communication with the L-Server is possible. If the test shows no problems, configuration of the L-Platform operation environment is complete. If there are problems, resolve them and check communication again.

Chapter 2 Starting and Stopping Managers and Agents

This chapter explains how to manually start or stop managers and agents. To use Resource Orchestrator, both the manager and agents must be running. The manager and agent services are configured to start automatically upon startup of their respective servers (admin server, managed

server). Normally, there should be no need to manually start or stop either the manager or agents. To start or stop a manager or an agent intentionally, refer to "2.1 Starting and Stopping the Manager" and "2.2 Starting and Stopping an Agent".

Note

When using the HBA address rename function, ensure that the manager is started before starting any managed servers. The power on procedure should be managed as follows: first, start the admin server together with any storage devices, and start the managed servers 10 minutes later. Managed servers will not boot up properly if they are started before the manager. Make sure that the manager is running before starting managed servers.

Additionally, when using the HBA address rename function, the HBA address rename setup service should be started on a dedicated server (HBA address rename server) and left running continuously. For details on starting, stopping, and confirming the state of the HBA address rename setup service, refer to "Chapter 10 Settings for the HBA address rename Setup Service" in the "Setup Guide CE".

2.1 Starting and Stopping the Manager

The Resource Orchestrator manager starts automatically on the admin server. This section explains how to manually start or stop the manager and how to check its running state.

[Windows Manager] The manager is made up of the following two groups of Windows services:

For details on the command, refer to "5.19 rcxmgrctl" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE". To start or stop a manager in a clustered configuration, use the cluster administration view (Cluster Admin). For details, refer to the PRIMECLUSTER manual.

Note

- When using ServerView Deployment Manager on an admin LAN, all services related to Resource Orchestrator will be automatically

disabled. To prevent conflicts with ServerView Deployment Manager, do not start these services in order. For details, refer to "Appendix B Co-Existence with ServerView Deployment Manager" in the "Setup Guide VE".

- Resource Orchestrator cannot be operated if any of the manager services are stopped. Ensure that all services are running when

Resource Orchestrator is running.

- If the manager is unable to communicate on the admin LAN when started up (because of LAN cable disconnections or any other

causes), PXE Services may not start automatically. If PXE Services are stopped, investigate the network interface used for the admin LAN and confirm whether it can communicate with other nodes on the admin LAN.

If the manager cannot communicate with admin LAN nodes, restore the admin LAN itself and restart the manager.

- In Basic mode, the following manager services are started.

In Basic mode, the procedure to start and stop the services and the procedure to check their statuses are same as those in standard mode.

Infrastructure Administrators (Resource Management) CE".

- 14 -

Chapter 7 Management of L-Platform

This chapter explains how to management of L-Platform.

7.1 Review for L-Platform Usage Applications

Use the [Request] tab of the ROR console to review applications to use from tenant users for operations such as usage application, configuration modification, and cancel of L-Platforms. For details on the [Request] tab, refer to "Chapter 10 Request" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administrators CE".

7.2 Administration of L-Platform

This section explains how to perform L-Platform operations.

7.2.1 Deleting Unnecessary Data

If an L-Platform or server deployed by this product was accidently deleted by virtualization software such as VMware, it is possible to delete unneeded information about the system or server remaining in this product.

What is actually done is that the unneeded L-Platform information or server information status is changed to "Finished with return" with the cfmg_deletesysdata(Unnecessary Data Deletion) command so that it is no longer displayed in the L-Platform management View.

Refer to "10.3 cfmg_deletesysdata (Unnecessary Data Deletion)" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE" for details on this command.

7.2.2 Updating the Cloning Image

In this product, the resource ID is used when managing the cloning image. If the cloning image has been updated, the resource ID will be changed, so the image information must be updated in order to return the

resource ID back to its previous setting. If the cloning image has been updated, use an operation from the "Template" window to update the image information. Refer to "8.3.8 Synchronizing Image Information" in the "User's Guide for Infrastructure Administratorsfor CE" details.

Point

To use both cloning masters (the cloning master before the update and the cloning master after the update) in the L-Platform template, updating a single cloning master will not work. Instead, these cloning masters must be collected separately.

7.2.3 Importing to L-Platform

This section explains how to import physical servers, virtual machines, and L-Servers to an L-Platform. There are the following two ways of importing physical servers, virtual machines, and L-Servers to the L-Platform Management function:

- Convert configured physical servers or virtual machines into L-Servers, then import the converted L-Servers to the L-Platform

Follow the procedure described below to convert configured physical servers or virtual machines into L-Servers and import to the LPlatform:

a. Convert the physical servers or virtual machines into L-Servers

Refer to "Use of Physical Servers or Virtual Machines as L-Servers".

b. Network Information Settings for Converted L-Servers

Refer to "7.2.3.1 Network Information Settings for Converted L-Servers".

- 15 -

c. Importing the L-Server for which network information has been set

Refer to "7.2.3.2 Importing L-Servers".

- Import L-Servers created in the ROR console into the L-Platform

Refer to "7.2.3.2 Importing L-Servers".

7.2.3.1 Network Information Settings for Converted L-Servers

Set the network information for the L-Servers converted in "Use of Physical Servers or Virtual Machines as L-Servers". Execute the rcxadm lserver attach -define command to set network information. The setting of network information via the command rcxadm lserver attach -define can only be performed on the L-Server before it is

imported into the L-Platform management function. Also, the rcxadm lserver attach -define command can only be executed if using Solaris Zone and OVM for SPARC. If adding multiple network interface cards (NICs), execute the command rcxadm lserver attach -define only the same number of times as

there are NICs being added. Refer to "3.6 rcxadm lserver" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE" for details.

7.2.3.2 Importing L-Servers

The Import L-Server command (cfmg_importlserver) can be used to import servers that have been deployed, or the VM guests that have been imported using the ROR Console, to the L-Platform Management function.

Refer to "10.4 cfmg_importlserver (Import L-Server)" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE" for details on this command.

Note

- When an L-Server for infrastructure administrator is imported to an L-Platform, the operation privileges of the L-Server are transferred

to the tenant administrator or the tenant user. When this L-Server is released from the L-Platform by the cfmg_deletelserver command, the L-Server is changed back to the one for

infrastructure administrator.

- L-Servers without network interface cards (NICs) cannot be imported.

- No initial password information will be set for an L-Server that has been imported without image information being specified. "initial

password is [.]" will be displayed on the initial password confirmation window of the system details window of the L-Platform management window.

- An L-Server that is under a tenant cannot be imported to a different tenant.

- When importing an L-Server that is not under a tenant, switch the power off for the L-Server targeted for import.

- Do not import physical L-Servers that have VM hosts installed. Refer to "Appendix D Installing VM Hosts on Physical L-Servers"

in the "Setup Guide CE" for information on installing VM hosts on a physical L-Server.

7.2.3.3 Releasing L-Servers

L-Servers that have been imported into the L-Platform management function can be released from the L-Platform by using the L-Server release command (cfmg_deletelserver). Refer to "10.2 cfmg_deletelserver (Release L-Server)" in the "Reference Guide (Command/XML) CE" for more information about the command.

7.2.4 Setting OS with Deployment on RHEL-KVM

OSs except Linux and Microsoft(R) Windows Server(R) 2008 R2

If the virtualization software is RHEL-KVM and the guest OS is neither Linux nor Windows Server(R) 2008 R2, it is necessary to manually configure the IP address, default gateway, and host name of the guest OS. Users cannot access the deployed server until this configuration
