Automation with Application-Centric
Management with Hitachi VASA Provider
• Business – I need xyz VM service today – and it may change
• vSphere admin – what type of storage/infra data services am I going to get ?
• Storage admin – what type of application workload are you deploying?
Hitachi VASA Provider framework to do this efficiently….

Efficient and Simplified Way of Managing Storage
Hitachi VASA Provider Enabling vVols/VMFS Storage Automation
Overview Benefit
vVols: Turns an array into native No more LUNs, Removes inefficient handoffs
VMDK and VM aware based between VI and Storage Admin
Storage Policy Management by SPBM storage
Access one logical vVol datastore with range of
vSphere vVols capabilities vs 100’s of VMFS datastores
Granular Services natively offloaded to array to
avoid host processing constraints (snapshots)
VASA Provider
Resources specified in policies are delivered (
Storage Array Storage policy-based management performance tier, replication, backup
VMFS vVols vVols vVols vVols vVols
(SPBM) encryption etc.)
vVols enabled Storage Cluster VMFS: Support tagging of VMFS Enables customers with hybrid
datastores for storage aware VMFS/vVols/vSAN to experience unique
capabilities for VM admin SPBM provided with Hitachi
13
Granular VMDK Storage on Hitachi VSP
• Example One VM, 3 VMDKs
• Each VMDK gets its own addressable volume with SLU attribute inside
a Hitachi Array

Nirvana with VMware vVols…
SAY GOODBYE TO :-
• Manual LUN creation x 100’s and IT service wait times

• Over provisioned/under utilized datastore capacity.
• Data services capabilities only at datastore level.
▪ Datastore assigned to only one Storage processor core
▪ Constrained replication services due to one storage processor code per datastore
▪ Can’t failover an individual VM/App service for specific DR testing, must be full datastore
• UNMAP and storage efficiency issues
• VMFS snapshot performance/consolidation issues
• Badly sized VMs, thick provisioning VMDKs
• Limited operational visibility @ VM level from Storage perspective
• Wasted infrastructure resources
• Error prone multipathing/mapping for every LUN device
• Manually assigning storage resources (ports, MPUs) to VM
• Badly sized VMs, thick provisioning VMDKs
• No foundation to build automated efficient data center
• Complex change management
• Storage and VM team being unaware of usage
• Limited VMs per datastore with lock contention
• …
Extending VASA – VM policy changes
integrated with VSP data services
- One vVol Datastore spanning multiple storages

- Automatic adjustment to VM policy changes
