What’s New in Lab Manager 4?
Q&A
Where Does IT Need To Get To?
Just like…
IT
as a
Service Inexpensive, pay as you go,
pay for what you use
Ubiquitously available
Reliable
Choice of providers
Market Drivers for Internal Clouds for Dev/Test
Increasing application complexity

More complicated deployment platforms
Configuration issues leading cause of project delays
IT is behind the curve

Overwhelmed by time-consuming, repetitive tasks
Can’t keep up with the end user demands
There’s a new alternative

Use credit cards to buy resources online
How can IT provide better service and remain in control?

Host-Spanning Private Networks
Lab Manager & Stage Manager: Unification
Q&A
vSphere 4 Support
vSphere 4 Support:
Pillar of Lab Manager 4
Standard, Advanced, Enterprise,
and Enterprise Plus
Enterprise Plus required
for some features
Lab Manager 4 supports ESX 3.5

Standard & Enterprise Editions
vCenter 4.0 required ESXi Support
As Well!
vSphere 4 Support: More Detail
vNetwork Distributed Switch (DVS)

Host-Spanning Private Networks (more later) require DVS
Cisco Nexus 1000v missing key capabilities—not supported
Expanded VM Capabilities
Hot-Add CPU/Memory; 8-way vCPU, 256GB VM memory
SAS, IDE, Disks, pvSCSI driver, etc.
IPMI-based DPM
Lab Manager 4 will “wake up” systems in order to do deployment
Take advantage of ebb-and-flow of cloud environments
vSphere 4 Support: Even More Detail
Lab Manager interoperates with…

Host Profiles VI Update Service (ESX 4 only)
Storage Provisioning / Volume Grow
Datastore and Network iSCSI Support Improvements
Management Enhancements
Storage Stack Performance
Volume Resignaturing and Scalability
64-bit Service Console Distributed Power
64-bit vmkernel Management
Virtual Hardware Upgrade DRS Usability Enhancements
Native SATA …and more!
vSphere Support: vCenter 4 & Upgrade
Lab Manager 4 Requires vCenter 4

Many key bugfixes & capabilities
Upgrade Experience
Administrator Stops Lab Manager (or Stage Manager) Server
(VMs continue to run)
Administrator Upgrades Virtual Center to vCenter Server 4.0
Administrator Upgrades Lab Manager Server to Lab Manager 4
Administrator Starts Lab Manager 4 Server
Host Upgrades done at admin convenience

Deploy original
Deploy the cloned configuration Deploy cloned configuration
configuration
“fenced” Power on Virtual Machines
Power on Virtual Machines
Power on Virtual Machines Encounter MAC and IP
Use MAC and IP network
Connect to newly created virtual net network conflict
resources
X NAT/route the configuration
to external net
Problem
Deploying VMs directly on the network does not provide isolation and will also result
in MAC and IP address conflicts with their clones deployed on the same network
Solution
In fenced mode LM creates an additional host-only private LAN segment and subnet—
a “fence” which prevents MAC and IP conflicts
Deploying in fenced mode optionally creates a virtual NAT/router that connects the
private network to an external network to gain external connectivity
Lab Manager 3: Single-host Fencing
Limited configuration size

Resource capacity of a single ESX host limits the size
of a configuration that may be fenced
Single-host fenced deployment may not be possible
All datastores may not be accessible from all hosts
CPU affinity due to memory state in a heterogeneous ESX
cluster may prevent configurations from being fenced
Cannot leverage VC services that require vMotion
Can’t VMotion a group of VMs together
Minimizes effective use of DRS for better resource utilization
HA (and other services) weakened
HA, maintenance mode, DPM: no way to disperse or restart
fenced VMs
Host Spanning Private Networks
Configuration 2 Deploy cloned configuration Configuration 1
cross-host fenced
A B C A B C
VMs connect to cross-host
fenced network and may be
deployed on any host that the Deploy original
fence spans. NAT/route the configuration unfenced

Fence Overlay F1 Use MAC and IP network
resources
Virtual X
Router
Host-Spanning Private Networks (HSPN)

A HSPN spans hosts and is represented as a portgroup on a DVS
Both “fenced physical” and “virtual networks” may be deployed on HSPN
Individual HSPNs isolated from each other and from the LAN segment itself
Connectivity to external network via the virtual router remains unchanged
Enabled with a “Service VM” on each host participating in HSPN

Questions?
Product Unification: What Are Workspaces?
Resource Abstraction
Workspaces can be backed by
segregated resource pools
Move a configuration from “Dev”
workspace to “Test” workspace →
Change resources powering it
User Containers
Users in Orgs can be further sorted
into Workspaces
For Example: “Lab Manager” Org
can be broken down further into “Dev”
and “QA” workspaces
Virtual Machine Containers
More on this in a bit…
Note: The “Admin” role can be assigned at Workspace

or Organization level
Product Unification: Multiple Workspaces
The Power of Multiple

Workspaces
IT Organization
Workspaces are also containers Training
of virtual machines
Default Sharing Behavior
Production
Private: Lab Manager-like
Shared: Stage Manager-like
Far more Flexible than Stage
Manager’s Service/Stage
linear model
One Production Workspace can Siebel-Dev Exchange-Dev
be in the same Org as many different
related “Dev” workspaces
With different users in each!
