AIMOpalis_bk0.book Page 69 Monday, October 24, 2011 10:16 AM 4 Workflow The following sample workflows are part of the Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM) Integration Pack for Dell to showcase some of the most common use cases of today's Workload management using Dell AIM. Workflow Requirements To import Workflows, Opalis version 6.3 with Dell AIM Integration pack for Opalis Version 1.0 installed and System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) integration pack version 5.6 installed.
AIMOpalis_bk0.book Page 70 Monday, October 24, 2011 10:16 AM AIM Connection Details The Workflow uses following connections with AIM: NOTE: If the AIM connections were not imported along with the policy, then create the connections. Connection Name Connection Type Details AIM-Connection Dell AIM The common connection used by all objects which executes specific functions like Start, Stop, and Get Personas.
AIMOpalis_bk0.book Page 71 Monday, October 24, 2011 10:16 AM Proactive Failover Dell Server Management pack for SCOM monitors heath of Dell server. It raises critical, warning, or both events in SCOM by interacting with Dell OpenManage. If a critical failure event like OMSA Temperature sensor detected a failure value occurs on a server, it triggers the Proactive Failover workflow. The Workflow retargets all the Workloads from the server which triggered the failure event.
AIMOpalis_bk0.book Page 72 Monday, October 24, 2011 10:16 AM • Due to the hostname dependency the SCOM objects in the workflow may not work after importing. You may need to reselect the connection for all the SCOM Objects based on your configuration. • Ensure that the Opalis server has a DNS server and hostname comes from the SCOM alerts are resolvable. Workflow – Proactive Failover When a critical failure occurs on a physical server, the Proactive Failover workflow retargets the server's workload.
AIMOpalis_bk0.book Page 73 Monday, October 24, 2011 10:16 AM a The workflow will move the physical host server into maintenance mode. NOTE: When the physical host server is moved to maintenance mode, AIM will not use the machine for any other Workload reallocation. b After stopping the persona using the Stop activity. NOTE: To check if the persona is NetBooted the GetPersona object is used. c If this persona is a netbooted persona then the Start activity takes care of starting the persona.
AIMOpalis_bk0.book Page 74 Monday, October 24, 2011 10:16 AM • SCOM alert is raised for each success and failure events. c Once the above said sub-flow gets completed it merges with the main flow where the physical host is moved into maintenance mode. d The VMRack is removed from maintenance mode and stopped as all the VMs are re-targeted to other servers. e The VMRack is started if it is a netbootable VMRack. NOTE: The Get Object (VMRack) is used to determine if the VMRack is netbooted or not.
AIMOpalis_bk0.book Page 75 Monday, October 24, 2011 10:16 AM Workload Retarget This sample workflow takes care of re-targeting Workload from one server to another server. The Workload movement is Physical to Virtual, Virtual to Virtual, Virtual to Physical, and Physical to Physical. Workflow Prerequisites The prerequisite for Workload Retarget workflow is: • AIM version 3.4.1 is installed and Opalis has connection with AIM controller.
AIMOpalis_bk0.book Page 76 Monday, October 24, 2011 10:16 AM • Target Type – Specify the type of target: – If you specify an actual physical or virtual Host ID then the Target Type is two. – If you specify the Hypervisor Host ID (physical Host ID of the HyperV) as target then the Target Type is one. If the Target Type is one, then the workflow will automatically chose one of the available Virtual Machines (VMs) from the hypervisor as target and hosts the persona.
AIMOpalis_bk0.book Page 77 Monday, October 24, 2011 10:16 AM The Retarget Workflow asks for details such as Source ID, Target ID and so on. For more information, see Workflow Inputs. 6 If the source type is Host then the workflow uses the Get Object (Source Host) to retrieve the persona running on the host otherwise the Source Id (entered by user) is used as the source persona ID.
AIMOpalis_bk0.book Page 78 Monday, October 24, 2011 10:16 AM Persona starts successfully but the workflow after waiting for sometime raises notification saying Failure to start Persona The Start objects has a timeout property which might have got expired before the persona actually started. Edit the object and increase the timeout which are in seconds.
