Migration 8.7 Grid Physcial HP UX to 11.5 Grid VM's RHEL.
Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2016 3:18 pm
Just wanted to share what we have decided to go with -- any thoughts on this is much appreicated.
1) Currentley we have 2 HN's and 6 CN's 8 Core each Physcial Server with GTK and LSF 9.1.3 on 8.7
2) HN2 is acting like NFS Server were SAN is shared to rest of the complete cluster. Also HN2 also has non DATASTAGE Tools like IA/BG/MWB.
3) Running on HP UX with HP Servcice Gaurd acting as a Failover.
We have decided to go with following architecture with 11.5
1) Complete VM's on latest Blade with Intel X5 V3 1 HN 10 core and 4 CN with 18 Core each VM where each of CN VM is located on a different Physcial HOST.
2) Total 5 Physcial blades will have one VM each 1HN and 4 CN on each with RHEL.
3) DB will XMETA on a different Soalris VM's
4) The above all is completey DATASTAGE ALONE.
5) For IGC TOOLS we will create totally different VM's with only those tools they will share the same physcial host as HEADNODE VM and they will also be VM on RHEL.
Storage wise we debatting should we go with NAS or SAN. NAS is being suggested there is a need for NFS we can use NAS Applicance for that.
Also we are not builing any active passive as Our folks from VMWARE Team suggesting if a HN VM goes down they will fire up a new one within a very short time.
Also we have 15k jobs running every time just to get an idea of the load.
-
Questions - 1) NAS or SAN in this architecture is well suited
2) IS VMWARE Failover reailable from Infosphere Grid context
3) What are the best practices for directlories Isolcation projects/datasets to get better I/O should they all be in a different physcial drives.. etc/
Really appreciate any thoughts overall.
Thanks
