Business Challenge
Separate infrastructures lead to higher costs, lower ROI on assets, and increased environment complexity• Lower server and storage
utilization• Difficulty meeting service
levels– Maintaining and managing
separate environments– Provisioning inefficiencies– Inconsistent data protection
strategies

EMC Symmetrix VMAX Virtual LUN Technology
LUN migration wizard simplifies the setup for migrations– Allows users seamlessly migrate Oracle database data between LUNs
within the array– Virtual LUN migrations take place within the storage array
Configuration– 18 LUNs were allocated to the virtual machine– Nondisruptively moves storage from RAID 1 to RAID 6

Conclusions
Reduction of cost—server consolidation– Multiple Oracle database environments
consolidated into a two-node VMware cluster– Optimization of hardware means decreased
hardware power, cooling, and licensing costs Ease of application deployment
– Quickly convert from physical to virtual infrastructure using:
▪ VMware vCenter Converter▪ EMC SAN management tools
– Decouple application/database from physical infrastructure
What did the use case illustrate and how can it help you?

Conclusions High availability—reducing data center
downtime with VMware VMotion and VMware HA
– VMotion: Planned downtime—eliminate or greatly reduce at lower cost
– HA: Unplanned downtime—reduce by implementing HA across the virtualized cluster
Storage efficiencies—increased flexibility– Concise building block approach to storage
design– Outlined:
▪ Number of spindles▪ RAID types▪ Volume management options such as RDM and VMFS▪ How to implement RAID group layout and LUN sizes
