Starting Point with Application running 2. Install SF (No downtime required) 3. Provision Storage 4. Configure Storage Foundation with the desired final state layout Tech Days 2010 Online Migration from OS Stack to Storage Foundation Configure Migration Layer Application 1. Stop Application 2. Configure Migration Layer 3. Restart Application • The migration layer is invisible to any applications Migration Layer VxFS -VxVM OS Native Stack DMP MultiPathing The application is only offline during a short time to configuration the Migration Layer Tech Days 2010 Online Migration from OS Stack to Storage Foundation Migration Phase Application 1. During the migration both the source and target file systems are kept up to date • Ensures an easy and successful back-out path Migration Layer VxFS -VxVM OS Native Stack DMP MultiPathing 2. A background migration process copies the data from the source file system Applications are kept online throughout the copy operation Tech Days 2010 Online Migration from OS Stack to Storage Foundation Migration Completed Application 1. Stop Application 2. Unconfigure the Migration Layer 3. Restart Application 4. Clean up old infrastructure and reclaim storage Migration Layer VxFS -VxVM OS Native Stack DMP MultiPathing The Application is only offline for a short time to unconfigure the Migration Layer Tech Days 2010 Online Migration from OS Stack to Storage Foundation Migration Completed Application VxFS -VxVM • During the entire migration the Application has only had two short, well defined, outages to configure the Migration Layer • As the source file system is kept up to date backing out is trivial • Abort the migration and Remount the old file system DMP Tech Days 2010 Virtualized environments

SQL OS OS OS OS VMware HA VMware HA VMware ESX VMware ESX • VMware HA may be good enough for some workloads • But it ONLY works for physical server failures Tech Days 2010 Current tools force challenging trade-offs Ensure availability O/S based clustering in the guest Tradeoff between • Prevents use of vMotion, DRS, DPM • Increases cost + complexity Ensure App Availability Application admin Infrastructure admin Monitoring tool + scripting • Longer RCA and recovery time • Burden to maintain scripts Exploit Virtualization Delay virtualization Virtualize everything • Slows down virtualization initiatives • Increases operational complexity Tech Days 2010 Minimize Complexity Need a solution that avoids these trade-offs 1 Ensure Availability Ensure App Availability 2 Exploit
