2. What is DRS/HA/DPM/dvSwitch/FT/vApps/vSafe/vShields ?
DRS: VMware DRS continuously monitors utilization across resource pools and
intelligently aligns resources with business needs, enabling you to:
• Dynamically allocate IT resources to the highest priority applications. Create
rules and policies to prioritize how resources are allocated to virtual machines.
• Give IT autonomy to business organizations. Provide dedicated IT infrastructure
to business units while still achieving higher hardware utilization through
resource pooling.
• Empower business units to build and manage virtual machines within their
resource pool while giving central IT control over hardware resources.
HA: VMware HA delivers the availability needed by many applications running in
virtual machines, independent of the operating system and application running in it.
VMware HA provides uniform, cost-effective failover protection against hardware and
operating system failures within
DVswitch: The configuration of vDS is centralised to vCenter. All the ESX 4.x hosts that
belong to a dvSwitch do not need further configuration to be compliant
Distributed Switches provide similar functionalities to vSwitches. dvPortgroups is a set of
dvPorts. The vDS equivalent of portgroups is a set of ports in a vSwitch. Configuration is
inherited from dvSwitch to dvPortgroup, like what happens for vSwitch/Portgroup.
Virtual machines, Service Console interface (vswif), and VMKernel interfaces can be
connected to dvPortgroups just as like they could be connected to portgroups in
vSwitches
Administrative rights are required to create the following virtual adapters on each ESX
host dvSwitch in vCenter:
• Service Console and VMKernel interfaces
• Physical NICs and their assignment to dvSwitch Uplink groups
VMware DRS dynamically load balances server resources to deliver the right resource to
the right application based on business priority; allowing applications to shrink and grow
as needed
Hot add enables CPU and memory to be added to virtual machines when needed without
disruption or downtime.
Hot plug enables virtual storage and network devices to be added to or removed from
virtual machines without disruption or downtime.
Hot extend of virtual disks allows virtual storage to be added to running virtual machines
without disruption or downtime
VMware vSphere includes support for vApp, a logical entity comprising one or more
virtual machines, which uses the industry standard Open Virtualization Format to specify
and encapsulate all components of a multi-tier application as well as the operational
policies and service levels associated with it.
Just like the UPC bar code contains all information about a product, the vApp gives
application owners a standard way to describe operational policies for an application
which the cloud OS can automatically interpret and execute.
vApps can comprise of any applications running on any OS, and provide a mechanism
for customers to move their applications between internal clouds or external clouds with
still the same service levels.
