Executive summary Customers are changing the way they consume Information Technology (IT). Today, customers want to consume IT in an IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS) model, where all compute and storage resources are available as services, received via a self-service portal. To remain competitive, organizations are looking for unprecedented agility and efficiency. Budgets for IT are now funded by lines of business, which means IT needs to be agile to provision workloads faster. Others demand higher levels of security, regulatory compliance, specific SLAs, advanced automation, and more efficient ways to track their IT resource consumptions. Private cloud is increasingly the de-facto answer. However, architecting and optimizing a private cloud can be complex and requires cross-domain expertise that might not be easily available. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Reference Configurations can help.

This Reference Configuration document provides a step-by-step guide to build a private cloud on HPE ProLiant rack-mount servers and HPE 3PAR StoreServ All-Flash array with VMware® vRealize Suite running on HPE ProLiant rack-mount servers using VMware vSAN for cost optimized vCloud storage backend.

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server is designed to adapt to the needs of any environment, from large enterprises to remote office/branch offices (ROBOs), offering enhanced reliability, serviceability, and continuous availability.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ enables an All-Flash array configuration that can support multiple types of workloads; from heavy I/O transactional applications to large sequential access data warehouse workloads to a combination of both in a mixed workload, multi-application scenario. The HPE 3PAR StoreServ array provides advanced service level management and quality of service.

VMware vCloud Suite is an industry leading cloud management platform for creating and managing hybrid clouds. VMware vCloud Suite is an integrated offering that brings together VMware’s industry-leading vSphere hypervisor and VMware vRealize Suite cloud management platform. It consists of a set of products to help speed up deployment of a private cloud, quickly set up the private cloud environment to enable cloud service deployment, facilitate Day 2 operations with the ability to create Anything as a Service (XaaS) services, as well as monitor and automate management of provisioned cloud services.

The combination of VMware vRealize Suite with HPE ProLiant rack-mount servers, HPE 3PAR storage, and VMware vSAN creates a private cloud solution with flexibility, efficiency, and agility that responds to business needs.

Server virtualization has been extremely successful at addressing numerous IT challenges to maximize efficiency. However, the benefit of virtualization could be amplified through more granular control of applications, integration between storage and virtualized applications and tighter alignment with the software defined data center (SDDC). The goal of this Reference Configuration is not only to set up cloud service deployment in a private cloud but also to implement and administer VMware Virtual Volumes (VVols) storage management with HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage in the vSphere environment.

Target audience: This document is intended for IT architects, system integrators, and partners who are planning to deploy an enterprise grade private cloud using VMware vRealize Suite with HPE 3PAR StoreServ as the storage on HPE infrastructure.

This white paper describes a project developed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise in October 2017.

Disclaimer: Products sold prior to the separation of Hewlett-Packard Company into Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company and HP Inc. on November 1, 2015 may have a product name and model number that differ from current models.

Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite with HPE 3PAR StoreServ as storage on HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 servers. The components in this solution include VMware vSphere for compute virtualization, VMware vRealize Suite which includes vRealize Automation and vRealize Operations Manager to deploy and manage private cloud, VMware vSAN for virtualizing storage in management cluster, and HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage for compute cluster. Additionally, we utilized VMware’s new storage architecture, VMware Virtual Volumes (VVols), which is designed to provide storage management and increased granular VM control.

Figure 1. Logical solution diagram of VMware vRealize Suite with HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage for compute cluster

VVols provides significant innovation by changing the way the vSphere virtual machines (VMs) interact with shared storage. VVols provides VM-level granularity by introducing a one-to-one mapping of VMs to storage volumes. VVols eliminates the need to provision large VMFS datastores; storage provisioning now happens automatically through the integration on a per-VM basis. Each VM, and specifically each part of a VM, is assigned its own unique VVol, which is equivalent to a storage LUN.

In a typical data center, storage arrays have different performance and availability capabilities that should be aligned with the requirements of individual applications. Until now, it has been up to the storage administrator to ensure this alignment. With VVols functionality, storage capabilities can now be applied directly to individual VMs. The addition of VVols functionality into VMware vSphere leverages the newly enhanced vSphere APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA), which enables vSphere admins to assign storage profiles on a per-VM basis and choose the right storage capabilities for each and every application.

VMware Virtual Volumes with HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage changes the model of vSphere from LUN-centric to VM-centric. This Reference Configuration demonstrates use cases which implement VVols with HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage in the vSphere environment. Integration with VVols architecture enables HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage to provide better vSphere integration that further leverages the capabilities of the HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage array.

Reference Architecture Page 7

Creating VM storage policies for VVols VM storage policies are created in vSphere with different storage capabilities from HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage in order to provide different service level options in the cloud service request. In order to offer users a choice to select different storage service levels, VM storage policies with varying storage capabilities need to be configured in vSphere before they can be applied to the virtual machines. For this Reference Configuration, three storage policies are created with different disk types as mentioned in Table 3.

Table 3. VM Storage Policy

Storage Policy Common Provisioning Group

Gold SSD (solid-state drive)

Silver FC (Fibre Channel)

Bronze Nearline (NL) storage

After configuring the VM storage policies in vSphere, they would appear under the VM Storage Policies view in VMware vSphere Web Client, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. VM Storage Policies created in vSphere

Page 8: HPE Reference Configuration for VMware vRealize Suite ...Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite

Reference Architecture Page 8

Creating VM templates using VVols and storage policies The storage policies can be applied to VM templates by creating a new virtual machine and assigning a storage policy to it. From the vSphere Web Client, launch the New Virtual Machine wizard and enter a virtual machine name that reflects the storage policy being assigned. Under the Select storage screen, select VVol storage options and assign a VM Storage Policy to associate with the virtual machine as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4. vSphere Web Client – Selecting a VM Storage Policy when creating a new VM

Use cases for the solution The following use cases are implemented for this Reference Configuration:

• Use Case 1: Create and deploy WordPress application cloud service with different storage levels.

• Use Case 2: Deploy multiple user VMs with different service offering (Gold, Silver, and Bronze).

• Use Case 3: Demonstrate an Anything-as-a-service (XaaS) to standardize process and eliminate manual processing.

• Use Case 4: Demonstrate access to 3PAR functionalities from VMware vSphere using VASA provider.

Use Case 1: Create and deploy WordPress application cloud service with different storage levels This use case demonstrates deployment of application cloud service on VVol storage with different service levels. The use case is used to deploy a two tier WordPress application on Windows 2012 R2 servers with IIS 8. Installing WordPress on Windows Server 2012 R2 also requires PHP and MySQL. This is made easier using Microsoft’s Web Platform Installer (Web PI).

For information on creating storage policies and attaching them to VM template, see Creating VM storage policies for VVols and Creating VM templates using VVols and storage policies.

Reference Architecture Page 9

Creating an application server and database server For the two tier WordPress application, two Windows 2012 R2 VMs are provisioned; namely Application Server and Database Server. Database server is deployed onto the compute cluster using Gold Storage Policy as shown in the vSphere Web Client in Figure 5; while the Application Server is deployed using the Silver Storage Policy as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 5. WordPress Database server deployed with Gold Storage Policy

Figure 6. WordPress Application server deployed with Silver Storage Policy

MySQL is installed in the Database server and a new database and a user for WordPress application is created. Grant privileges to the WordPress user and the root user from the application server to access the MySQL database on the database server.

WordPress is installed in Application Server using Microsoft’s Web Platform Installer (Web PI), as shown in the section below.

Page 10: HPE Reference Configuration for VMware vRealize Suite ...Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite

Reference Architecture Page 10

Launching Web Platform Installer Server Manager is used to install Web Server (IIS) role and other Role Services. Once IIS role is installed, Microsoft’s Web Platform Installer (Web PI) is to be downloaded and installed. Web PI can be directly launched from IIS Manager by clicking on Get New Web Platform Components. Select WordPress and then by clicking Install, Web PI will automatically select the other application dependencies and include them in the installation.

Figure 7. Installing WordPress from Microsoft’s Web Platform Installer

Provide root administrator user password for MySQL, Web PI then automatically download and install all the necessary applications.

Page 11: HPE Reference Configuration for VMware vRealize Suite ...Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite

Reference Architecture Page 11

Configuring the site for IIS At this stage of the installation, Web PI will prompt to choose few settings for the IIS configuration. WordPress can be either installed on an existing site or New Web Site. Once Web PI completes the installation process, the new MySQL Database User Name and Database Password will be displayed on the screen.

Figure 8. MySQL Database details shown in Web PI

Page 12: HPE Reference Configuration for VMware vRealize Suite ...Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite

Reference Architecture Page 12

Preparing the Database server Since the MySQL database is located on a different server in this use-case, changes have to be made in a WordPress configuration script so that the right database is being referred by the application. The content of the wp-config.php script (default location: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wordpressnew) has to be changed with the Database server details, as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9. Preparing the MySQL Database

The database server details are in Table 4.

Reference Architecture Page 13

Installing WordPress The final step in installing WordPress is to enter the Site Title, the admin username and password and email address. Click Install WordPress to finish the setup. WordPress is now ready for use.

Figure 10. WordPress Dashboard page

Use case 2: Deploy multiple user VMs with different service offering (Gold, Silver, Bronze) By default, vRealize Automation (vRA) comes with a single tenant, vsphere.local. Tenant administrators create business groups to associate a set of services and resources to a set of users, often corresponding to a line of business units. Business groups are used when creating reservations and entitling users to items in the service catalog.

This use case demonstrates implementation of an infrastructure cloud service deployment on 3PAR StoreServ storage with different service levels and policies attached to different business group and their users.

For information on creating storage policies and attaching then to VM template, see Creating VM storage policies for VVols and Creating VM templates using VVols and storage policies. Creating different business groups and its users with different storage policies Three different business groups, namely BG-systemadmin, BG-developer, and BG-qa, are created by the tenant administrator.

Figure 11. vRA Business Groups created by the tenant administrator

Page 14: HPE Reference Configuration for VMware vRealize Suite ...Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite

Reference Architecture Page 14

Once business groups are created, reservations are allocated to each business group. Reservations are a means to allocate resources (CPU, RAM, Storage, Storage Policy, etc.) to a specific business group.

Figure 12. Reservations for each business groups

Reservation VDS-sysadmin associated with business group BG-systemadmin is created with GoldStorage from VVol as its storage device.

Figure 13. Selecting Storage for BG-systemadmin business group

The next step is to create a catalog service for assigning published blueprints to the service catalog.

Figure 14. Selecting catalog service for published blueprints

Page 15: HPE Reference Configuration for VMware vRealize Suite ...Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite

Reference Architecture Page 15

Figure 15 shows “Windows 2012 R2 with Gold Storage Policy” as a catalog item for the system-admin business group.

Figure 15. Catalog item for system-admin business group

Thus System-admin users are entitled to provision VMs onto the compute cluster using only Gold Storage Policy.

Figure 16. System-admin user provisioning server with Gold Storage Policy

Page 16: HPE Reference Configuration for VMware vRealize Suite ...Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite

Reference Architecture Page 16

Similarly, a development business group is created with its associated group manager role, user role and SilverStorage from VVol as its storage device. So, a development user can provision VMs onto the compute cluster using only the Silver Storage Policy.

Figure 17. Development user provisioning server with Silver Storage Policy

Similarly, a QA business group user can provision VMs onto the compute cluster using only the Bronze Storage Policy.

Figure 18. QA user provisioning server with Bronze Storage Policy

Page 17: HPE Reference Configuration for VMware vRealize Suite ...Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite

Reference Architecture Page 17

Use Case 3: Demonstrate an Anything-as-a-service (XaaS) to standardize process and eliminate manual processing This use case demonstrates using the Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS) capability in vRealize Automation to standardize Day 2 operations such as adding a disk to existing virtual machines, disconnecting all detachable devices from a running virtual machine, adding CD-ROM, mounting CD-ROM, etc. from cloud service requests. A user can request these services from the vRealize Automaton service catalog and thereby eliminate any manual processing.

The workflow to add a disk to a virtual machine already exists in the vRealize Orchestrator implementation that is included in the vRealize Automation appliance. These workflow capabilities can be made available in the service catalog through XaaS blueprints.

To create a XaaS blueprint, under the vRealize Automation console Design tab, invoke the New Blueprint wizard under the XaaS Blueprints section. In the Workflow tab, expand Orchestrator Library vCenter Virtual Machine management Device Management and select the Add disk workflow. Under the Blueprint form tab, select Disk from the Form page field dropdown menu. Select the Datastore in which to put the virtual disk field. As a result, a new pane is displayed with the properties detail attributes. In the Default Value dropdown menu, select Constant. In the text box below, enter “storage” and press return. The different storage options available are shown in the dropdown. Select one, as shown in Figure 19, and then click Apply.

Figure 19. Configure Disk information properties in Create Add disk to VM XaaS Blueprint

Page 18: HPE Reference Configuration for VMware vRealize Suite ...Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite

Reference Architecture Page 18

The Add disk to VM XaaS blueprint is ready and can be published in the XaaS Blueprints view. To request this service, select a value for the Disk index, enter a Disk size value, and click Submit, as shown in Figure 20.

Reference Architecture Page 19

The request completed successfully as shown in Figure 21.

Figure 21. “Add disk to VM” request completed successfully in vRealize Automation

Use case 4: Demonstrate access to 3PAR functionalities from VMware vSphere using VASA Virtual machine storage policies are essential to virtual machine provisioning. The policies control the type of storage provided for the virtual machine and capture storage characteristics. Several storage policies can be created to define the types and classes of storage requirements.

A storage policy Rule references a combination of a single vendor-specific, user-defined metadata tag and a related value indicating the quality or quantity of the capability that is desired. These items act as a key, which when referenced together through a Rule, become a condition that must be met for compliance.

Page 20: HPE Reference Configuration for VMware vRealize Suite ...Solution overview This Reference Configuration demonstrates setting up a private cloud solution using VMware vRealize Suite

Reference Architecture Page 20

When a Rule for a VM storage policy is created, data services advertised by a specific datastore are referenced. To supply information about underlying storage to vCenter Server, Virtual Volumes use storage providers, called as VASA providers. Storage information and datastore characteristics appear in the VM Storage Policies interface of the vSphere Web Client as data services offered by the specific datastore type.

Figure 22. Creating Rules for a VM storage policy compatible with virtual datastore

Summary This document described how to build a private cloud and deploy cloud services using VMware vRealize Suite on HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 servers with HPE Solid State Drives (SSD) as well as HPE Hard Disk Drives (HDD) for 3PAR StoreServ. HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage delivers a unique set of storage data services that are ideal for virtualization environments. The combination of HPE 3PAR StoreServ and VVols delivers the following benefits:

• Simplified management: Integration into VMware’s SPBM simplifies common storage management tasks like LUN provisioning and management. By using policies to automatically provision LUNs at the time of VM creation, no pre-provisioning of datastores is required and hence administrative costs are reduced by eliminating tedious tasks. In addition, HPE 3PAR storage’s built-in VASA Provider eliminates the need to deploy, manage, and protect a separate plug-in or VM to enable all of the VVol and SPBM capabilities.

• Greater application control: With VVols, HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage can now be implemented at the individual VM level to provide the best possible efficiency and control of storage resources. The applications directly benefit from this new, fine-grain level of interaction with critical storage resources.

• Enhanced performance: VVols enables vSphere to offload more tasks to storage which can be performed faster and more efficiently directly at the storage layer. Tight storage integration enables HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage to present unique capabilities and complete common tasks, such as creating snapshots directly on the array to help minimize data movement and improve application performance.

• Reduced capacity: With VVols, we use only the space that VMs need on a storage array because we no longer have to allocate large chunks of disk space. The thin provisioning, deduplication, and zero detect features built into HPE 3PAR StoreServ arrays further reduce the amount of disk space that VMs consume. Automatic space reclamation when VMs are deleted or moved ensures that no space is wasted and the array maintains a thin footprint. HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage also enables deployment and restoration of array-based snapshots on a per-VM basis to a disk tier different from the production data, which helps save valuable capacity.

The VVols architecture is part of the VMware VASA specification, which defines a new architecture for VM-level storage array abstraction. VVols is incredibly beneficial for organizations who need to increase the granular control and visibility of VMs on their storage arrays. VVols makes VMs more efficient by allowing them to perform per-VM actions on their storage. With VVols, HPE 3PAR StoreServ enables deployment and restoration of array-based snapshots on a per-VM basis to different disk tiers than production data, which helps save valuable SSD, FC, or SAS capacity.
