VMware vSphere* 4.1 Installation Guide for ESX/ESXi* 4.1

Related Intel® ESAA Solutions

There are several solutions available to provide disaster recovery or iSCSI/NAS storage. The following recipes

may provide an alternative storage solution for a vSphere 4.1 host depending on storage needs. If deploying

a large number of VMs, the disk I/O capability or IOPS provided by local drives may be exceeded. External

storage is a viable option when deploying disk-intensive applications or when the number of virtual

machines deployed need more disk I/O. This can also be loaded onto the SAS/SAN to provide higher-end

storage functions such as backup and high availability.

 DataCore SANmelody* (High Availability) on Microsoft Windows Server* 2008 :

This storage virtualization SAN solution for iSCSI combines Intel® Modular Server Compute Module

MFS5000SI with DataCore* SANmelody* software (in a two disk server configuration for auto failover,

high availability configuration) and is the perfect companion to server and desktop virtualization.

SANmelody* software virtualizes, manages, and thin provisions storage, and provides disaster recovery,

while optimizing storage utilization, manageability, and performance. This solution provides enterprise-

class performance and functionality at an SMB-affordable price.

 Open-E* Data Storage Server* : This recipe uses Open-E* Data Storage Server* to create a storage

system for applications that is fast, flexible and reliable. Open-E DSS is already pre-installed on a USB

flash module (disk on module) and with the unique Web interface, no special knowledge is required even

for the configuration of the most eccentric storage strategy.

 Hytrust Appliance* Installation and Configuration: This recipe explains how to install and configure

the Hytrust Appliance*. HyTrust Appliance delivers enterprise-class controls for access, accountability,

and visibility for VMware virtualization infrastructure.

Recipe Overview

This Intel® ESAA recipe covers the installation steps required to setup a basic virtualization infrastructure

environment. An outline of the recipe is shown in Figure 3. The steps are outlined below. The primary focus

of this recipe is to guide the user in storage setup and networking to support installation of both vSphere

ESX* 4.1 hosts and vCenter*. The first part configures RAID and virtual disks to support the install of both

the vSphere ESX 4.1 and vCenter. Setup of the vSphere client software, connecting to the vCenter Server,

and managing the datacenter is also covered. The recipe also covers:

 Setting up an external data store and networking requirements to provide shared external storage to

support VMotion*

 Setting up a cluster, adding hosts and enabling enhanced VMotion compatibility or Intel® VT

FlexMigration.

Once complete, a basic virtualization infrastructure that can be expanded by adding more hosts or enabling

higher-end features is created. Refer to vSphere* documentation for more detailed information, including
