Container applications
HYPERMAX OS provides an open application platform for running data services.
HYPERMAX OS includes a light-weight hypervisor that enables multiple operating
environments to run as virtual machines on the storage array.
Application containers are virtual machines that provide embedded applications on the
storage array. Each container virtualizes hardware resources required by the
embedded application, including:
l
Hardware needed to run the software and embedded application (processor,
memory, PCI devices, power management)
l
VM ports, to which LUNs are provisioned
l
Access to necessary drives (boot, root, swap, persist, shared)
Embedded Management
The eManagement container application embeds management software (Solutions
Enabler, SMI-S, Unisphere for VMAX) on the storage array, enabling you to manage
the array without requiring a dedicated management host.
With eManagement, you can manage a single storage array and any SRDF attached
arrays. To manage multiple storage arrays with a single control pane, use the
traditional host-based management interfaces, Unisphere for VMAX and Solutions
Enabler. To this end, eManagement allows you to link-and-launch a host-based
instance of Unisphere for VMAX.
eManagement is typically pre-configured and enabled at the EMC factory, thereby
eliminating the need for you to install and configure the application. However, starting
with HYPERMAX OS 5977.945.890, eManagement can be added to VMAX arrays in
the field. Contact your EMC representative for more information.
Embedded applications require system memory. The following table lists the amount
of memory unavailable to other data services.
