Introduction This technical guide provides information on how to install and configure the IBM® PureFlex™ Solution for SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure (SDI). It does not contain all of the details and has references to IBM
and vendor documentation. It is recommended that IBM GTS or IBM Business Partner® services are used to perform a complete installation. The IBM PureFlex Solution for SDI also defaults to having 10 days of IBM Systems and Technology Group Lab Services time to help with hardware installation and
configuration.
The PureFlex Solution for SDI is based on the IBM PureFlex Enterprise Foundation with the following changes:
Shared storage using the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node
Networking using only 10 GbE FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet)
Two IBM Flex System® x240 Compute Nodes for Microsoft® Windows® Storage Server 2012
Seven IBM Flex System x240 Compute Nodes for compute servers or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) management
Table 1 shows the list of components with the default, minimum, and maximum count of each. Note that if more than one chassis is used, then top-of-rack (TOR) switches are added for 10 GbE and storage area network (SAN) connectivity. Flex System x240 Compute Nodes must be used for the Windows Storage
Server 2012 and VDI management servers. Flex System x240 or Flex System x222 Compute Nodes are recommended for the compute servers.

The system configuration tool (e-config) allows the following changes to be made to the default configuration:
Update the default configuration of Windows Storage Server 2012 nodes to allow different processors, memory, or local drives. The minimum is 32 GB of memory. Note that it is recommended to change the default configuration for the two Windows Storage Servers so that
the two hard disk drives (HDDs) are factory configured in a RAID 1 array. Update the default configuration of ESXi servers to allow different processor, memory, or local
drives. The minimum is 256 GB of memory and this can be increased to 768 GB. Local solid-state
drives (SSDs) can be added for use by stateless desktops. Addition of up to two more Flex System Enterprise Chassis. Addition of up to eight additional Flex System V7000 storage nodes, although a maximum of four
is the most needed. Addition of up to 22 IBM Storwize® V7000 expansion enclosures. Twenty of the enclosures are
placed into a second rack.
Addition of compute nodes. By removing five of the standard ESXi servers, it is possible to add up to 33 ESXi servers (Flex System x240 or x222 Compute Nodes are recommended). For a balanced configuration, it is likely that at least one more Flex System storage node and one more
VDI management server are required. That leaves up to 28 ESXi servers (or 56 for the Flex System x222 Compute Node) which can be used for user VMs.
Networking is an important part of any SDI solution. The PureFlex Solution for SDI comes pre-configured
from the factory with all of the FCoE networking in place. It is only necessary to change the networking to suit the customer’s environment.
For a single-chassis solution, the customer can plug directly into the IBM Flex System CN4093 switches at
the back of the chassis to access both the management and data virtual local area networks (VLANs). The CN4093 switch is configured for three VLANs:
Management VLAN 4091
Data VLAN 4092
FCoE VLAN 1002
Top-of-rack switches are employed for solutions with more than one chassis. The TOR switches carry the
following traffic:
G8052: Infrastructure VLAN 4093 for systems management
G8264: Management VLAN 4091 and data VLAN 4092
SAN24B-4: Fibre Channel (FC) traffic for access to Flex System V7000 storage nodes.
Inside the chassis is FCoE, and outside, it is split into separate 10 Gb Ethernet and FC. In this case, the CN4093 switches are configured in the pass-through mode for the SAN fabric.

Figure 1 shows the network connectivity for a three-chassis solution. The detail shown for chassis 1 is abbreviated for clarity in chassis 2 and chassis 3. Not shown on this diagram is VLAN 4093 and how the
Chassis Management Module (CMM) is connected into the G8052 TOR switches.
A single-chassis solution is similar but without all the TOR switches and external chassis wiring except for the inter-switch link (ISL) connection between the two CN4093 switches. All chassis management can be
done through the CMM or IBM Flex System Manager™ (FSM).

Installing hardware The hardware for the PureFlex Solution for SDI comes from the factory prewired and preconfigured. Installation of the hardware mainly consists of verifying that everything is correct and modifying IP
addresses to match the customer’s environment.
Chassis health check
After powering on the hardware, connect to the CMM web interface using the default IP address of each chassis and perform the following steps:
1. Review the system hardware using the CMM hardware topology page.
2. Verify that the system status and all the components are properly operational (green light check). The Events tab lists any outstanding errors or warnings.
3. Save the default CMM configuration for each chassis.
4. Validate the CMM security policy using the Mgt Module Management menu item, Security.
Set IP addressing
If needed, set the customer IP address of each Chassis Management Module. Each Chassis Management
Module can now be restarted using the Mgt Module Management menu item, Restart.
After adding the G8052 switches into the customer’s network, the Chassis Management Modules should now be addressable within the customer’s network. All remaining work on the hardware can now be
carried out from a remote location, that is, not in front of the hardware.
If needed, set the IP address of each compute node, switch, FSM, and Flex System V7000 storage node in the chassis using the IP addresses provided by the customer. Appendix A gives the default IP
addresses of every component.
Verify network switch configuration
Connect to each CN4093 switch and save the configuration file. Verify the following details for each switch:
1. Make sure that the dump from each switch has a unique (and logical) name.
2. VLANs are set correctly on the ports using UFP.
3. Spanning-tree is set correctly.
4. Trunks (aggregation groups) are set up correctly.
5. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is configured correctly.
6. Aliases, zones, and zone set are correct or set to the pass-through mode.
IBM PureFlex Solution for SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure
Installation guide
7
Connect to each G8264 TOR switch, if it exists, and verify the following details for each switch:
1. VLANs are set correctly.
2. Spanning-tree is set correctly.
3. Trunks (aggregation groups) are set up correctly.
4. NTP is configured correctly.
Connect to each SAN24B-4 TOR switch, if it exists, and verify that it is zoned correctly with access to Flex System V7000 Storage Nodes from every compute node.
Verify compute node configuration
Each compute node must be configured correctly for FCoE and the VLANs to work correctly. This can be verified as follows:
1. Use the Integrated Management Module (IMM) remote console facility and start the system into
the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) basic I/O system (BIOS).
2. Go to System Settings, then Network and click the first device in Network Device List.
3. Press Enter.

6. Exit the System Configuration, save the settings, and reboot.
7. After the reboot, press F1 and enter the BIOS screen.
8. Select System Settings and then Storage to check the FCoE adapter list.
9. Select the first adapter, press Enter, and verify that the CEE mode is selected.
10. Select Scan for Fibre Devices which registers the worldwide port name (WWPN) with the CN4093 switch. If zoning, hosts and host volumes are configured on the Flex System V7000 Storage Node, then this lists the volumes and is a good way to verify that everything is configured
correctly end to end.
11. Press Esc to return to the previous screen of adapters.
12. Select the second adapter, press Enter, and verify that the CEE mode is selected.
13. Select Scan for Fibre Devices to register the WWPN with the second CN4093 switch.

Configure Flex System V7000 shared storage This section describes how to configure each Flex System V7000 Storage Node for use in the PureFlex Solution for SDI. Refer to the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation
Guide (at ibm.com/redbooks/abstracts/SG248068.html) for more details.
It is assumed that the FCoE configuration and zoning is complete. Each Flex System V7000 Storage Node must be able to see the initiator worldwide names (WWNs) and each initiator (host compute node) must be
able to see the Flex System V7000 Storage Node target WWNs.
The various disks on each Flex System V7000 Storage Node need to be configured into pools and shared volumes available to the various hosts. You might need to refer back to the original system design
document to understand how to configure the various disks. For example, two SSDs can be used for desktop images, an array of 10K drives are used for user folders and profile data that is only accessed by the Windows storage server nodes, the 15K rpm drives are used for remote desktops, and the remainder
of the SSDs are used by IBM Easy Tier®.
You need to perform the following steps to configure each Flex System V7000 Storage Node.
1. Add every host.
2. Create a pool.
3. Create a volume.
4. Map volume to hosts.
5. Configure Easy Tier.
Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each pool and volume that needs to be created. Repeat step 5 for each pool that needs Easy Tier drives attached to it.
Add every host
The hosts corresponding to initiators in the SAN fabric need to be explicitly added to the Flex System V7000 Storage Node. Note that the VMware vSphere client can be used to determine the WWNs for each ESXi host.

Install and configure Windows Storage Server Two compute nodes in the system are reserved for a Windows Storage Server 2012 cluster. This cluster exposes CIFS or NFS file shares, which can be used to store user folders, shared folders, or user profile
data on the Flex System V7000 shared storage. Refer to Microsoft Windows Storage Server Overview (at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj643303) for more details.
If the customer has an existing solution for file I/O then that can be used instead if it was deemed sufficient
when the PureFlex Solution for SDI was designed and ordered.
It is assumed at this stage that the customer already has a high availability Active Directory (AD) solution and the AD servers are accessible from the PureFlex System.
It is assumed that the Windows Storage Servers arrive with a RAID 1 configuration for the two HDDs. This needs to be verified in the IMM and configured correctly before installing Windows Storage Server 2012 on each Compute Node.
Each compute node for Windows Storage Server 2012 is included with a Microsoft license. This section describes how to install and configure the Windows Storage Server cluster for use in the PureFlex Solution for SDI. The steps are:
1. Mount the ISO image.
2. Install Windows Storage Server 2012.
3. Team the virtual network ports.
4. Join a Windows domain.
5. Create cluster DNS name.
6. Enable clustering features.
7. Configure scale-out file server role.
8. Prepare a volume in Windows.
9. Create the clustered resource.
Mount the ISO image
Installing Windows Storage Server 2012 consists of creating an ISO image and installing that ISO image onto the two Compute Nodes which are nodes 3 and 4 on the first chassis. For a multi-chassis system it may be preferable to have these two nodes in separate chassis to provide an additional degree of higher
availability.
1. Use your favorite utility to create an ISO image from the Windows Storage Server 2012 DVD.
2. Assuming that the node has been left started in the IMM from the previous steps, log on to the
IMM for the node you plan to install the operating system onto.
IBM PureFlex Solution for SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure
Installation guide
27
3. On the main menu, click Server Management Remote Control.
4. Select the client you need to use to open a remote console (Active X or Java™) and then click Start remote control in single-user mode.
5. If you plan to install the operating system using a local ISO file or a bootable device, on the remote console click Tool Launch Virtual Media.
Note: You can also connect a bootable USB or a USB optical drive physically to the node. If you choose to do so, you can skip this step as well as steps 6 and 7.
6. A small pop-up window appears populating the physical drives on your workstation. If you are not
starting from an ISO file, you need to click Add Image from the set of buttons on the right and select your ISO file to add it to the list of bootable media.
IBM PureFlex Solution for SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure
Installation guide
28
7. Select the Map check box for the bootable media you need to install your operating system from and click Mount Selected.
Note: Do not close the virtual media window or the drive and ISO you mounted will unmount.
Install Windows Storage Server 2012
Follow the usual steps to install the Windows OS including several reboots of the compute node. The mounted image is automatically dismounted on the first reboot and is no longer needed.
After the OS is successfully installed, log on with the administrator account and the password that was
entered during install. The Server Manager is displayed. Select Local Server and use customer standards to perform basic configuration of items such as:
Computer name
Time zone
System date and time or NTP server
Remote desktop enabling and configuration
Firewall
Repeat the IMM image mount and OS installation for the second node.
Teaming the virtual network ports
Navigate to the Network Connections panel and notice that the virtual network ports are listed. There
should be two for the 4091 management VLAN and two for the 4092 data VLAN. Any additional customer requested VLANs might also be listed, such as VLAN 4083 as shown in the following figure.
IBM PureFlex Solution for SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure
Installation guide
29
The virtual network ports are summarized in Table 2.
Adapter name MAC address IP address VLAN Network type
vNIC 1 Port 1 – vNIC11 6C-AE-8B-2D-4E-30 N/A 4091 MGMT Network
vNIC 1 Port 2 – vNIC12 6C-AE-8B-2D-4E-34 N/A 4091 MGMT Network
vNIC 3 Port 1 – vNIC31 6C-AE-8B-2D-4E-32 N/A 4092 DATA Network
vNIC 3 Port 2 – vNIC32 6C-AE-8B-2D-4E-36 N/A 4092 DATA Network
Table 2: Summary table of virtual NICs
Note that vNIC 2 Port 1 and vNIC 2 Port 2 have been used for FCoE traffic. Table 3 shows the three teamed virtual ports need to be created.
Adapter name MAC address IP address VLAN Network type
MGMT_VLAN 4091 6C-AE-8B-2D-4E-30 N/A 4091 MGMT Network
DATA_VLAN 4092 6C-AE-8B-2D-4E-32 N/A 4092 DATA Network
Table 3: Teamed virtual NICs
You need to perform the following steps to team the virtual network ports. Refer to the Windows Server
2012 NIC Teaming (LBFO) Deployment and Management (http://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/download/details.aspx?id=30160) document for more details.
1. The NIC Teaming GUI can be invoked from Server Manager or by invoking lbfoadmin.exe at a
command prompt.
IBM PureFlex Solution for SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure
Installation guide
30
2. These networks can be configured to suit the customer’s environment. The Windows Storage Server cluster network in this case uses the DATA_VLAN 4092 Teamed adapter for both private
and cluster connections.
3. Change the network adapter binding order to ensure that the internet network adapter is the first.
a. Open the following path: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections.
b. Press Alt to display the menu bar.
c. Click Advanced Advanced Settings.
d. Modify the binding order to ensure that the data network is at the top.
4. Depending on the customer connectivity to the Internet, it is now possible for Windows Storage Server 2012 to be automatically activated from the Microsoft website. This can be verified by
displaying the Properties window of My Computer.
Repeat for the second node.
Join a Windows domain
Assuming Active Directory is already configured, the server can be joined to a domain. Ensure that DNS is set up correctly to communicate with the proper server. Note that Windows Storage Server cannot act as a domain controller itself but it can have Active Directory installed on it if not already elsewhere in the
customer’s environment.
IBM PureFlex Solution for SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure
Installation guide
31
Joining a domain forces the user to log in again. After this is working, log off and all future interaction can be done using Remote Desktop connection manager rather than the IMM console.
Before going further, it is advisable to check for updates and allow the OS to be updated either automatically or manually depending on the chosen option. Ensure that the Failover Cluster Manager GUI KB2803748 is applied.
Repeat for the second node.
Create cluster DNS name
To enable the cluster on each Windows Storage Server node, first create a DNS host record for the cluster
name and assign an IP address for the cluster in the customer’s DATA domain.
Enable clustering features
Refer to the Windows Server 2012 Creating a Failover Cluster (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/dn505754.aspx) document for more details. The steps to enable a storage cluster using the
Server Manager are:
1. Open the Add Roles and Features wizard.
2. Ensure that the File and iSCSI Services role is selected and select File Server.
3. Select the Failover Clustering Feature.
4. Open Failover Clustering Manager.
5. Click Create Cluster on the Actions menu.
6. Add both Windows Storage Server compute names to the Selected Servers list.
IBM PureFlex Solution for SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure
Installation guide
32
7. Run cluster validation and the validate configuration wizard is opened.
8. Click Run all tests.
9. Review test results, take an appropriate and recommended action and re-run the validation until the cluster is found suitable. If storage has not been attached to the WSS nodes, those tests will not run, however, the cluster can still be created. One common problem is adapters that are
enabled but not configured.
10. Next, the access point needs to be defined. Enter a cluster name.
11. Select the internal network and enter the IP address for the cluster. Note that networks which are
missing a gateway are not listed.
Repeat the steps for the second node.
Configure scale-out file server role
Configure the scale-out file server role using the Server Manager as follows:
1. Click Configure Role to start the wizard.
2. Click File Server role and click Next.
3. Select Scale-Out File Server and click Next.

Each disk to be shared needs to be prepared as a Windows volume.
1. From one of the Windows Storage Server nodes, navigate to Computer Manager Disk
Management.
2. Perform a rescan operation for new disks. If no disks are found, then recheck the SAN fabric and zoning.
3. Set any discovered disks to online.
4. Initialize a volume.
5. Format the volume with the required allocation unit size and for consistency, set the volume label
to be the same as the cluster volume name. Do not use a drive letter or mount point.

Install and configure vSphere VMware vSphere is used to manage the ESXi hypervisor instances and the virtual machines running under those hypervisors. This documentation provides an overview of what is needed. Refer to the
VMware vSphere 5.1 documentation (http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp) for more details.
The vCenter Server is used to manage a group of VMs. The server needs only limited high availability and it is sufficient to use VMware failover whereby if a VM goes down, it is restarted on another node in the
cluster. It is recommended to have one or more vCenter Servers for each set of user VMs (up to 2000 VMs) and also one vCenter Server for the management VMs. Note that the database should be on shared storage and the same database can be used by multiple vCenter Servers.
The steps to install and configure the vSphere management tools are:
1. Install vSphere Client.
2. Install vCenter Database Server.
3. Install vCenter Server for management VMs.
4. Configure vSphere for management VMs.
5. Install vCenter Server for user VMs.
6. Configure vSphere for user VMs.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for as many vCenter Servers that are needed.
Install vSphere Client
The vSphere Client provides the simplest way to manage the ESXi hosts. This client can be installed on any machine in the network such as the Windows Storage Servers or an external machine that is connected to the ESXi hosts. The vSphere web client can also be installed.
Refer to the following documentation page for more details: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-
51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-BBD3580E-4034-4E05-9558-D88D74E5D1D7.html
Install vCenter database
Log on to one of the management hosts using the vCenter client and configure the storage location for
VMs on that host. Repeat the steps for the second management host.
Create a new VM using the vCenter client. The minimum requirements are four virtual processors, 4 GB of memory, and 15 GB for the image. Refer to the following documentation for more details:
http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-7834894B-DD17-
4D59-A9BF-A33D02478521.html
Install Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, license the OS, and perform the updates. This VM can now be
used as a template for other instances of Microsoft 2008 R2. Note that recently released Microsoft 2012 R2 might be preferred.

37
Alternatively, if a template already exists, then a VM can be cloned from the template. Refer to the following documentation for more details: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-
51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-F40130B0-0194-4A41-91FA-1A967721924B.html
vSphere supports several different databases including IBM DB2®, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle. The database can be in local or remote data stores.
Create an instance of a Windows 2008 R2 VM and install the database server of choice. Refer to the following documentation for more details: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-
51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-55F7FFDB-01B8-4C18-AA89-DC28BD9B1E9F.html
Install vCenter Server for management VMs
In the case for the management VMs, vCenter Server can be installed using the Simple Install method as documented at: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-
3CAC53FB-ECAA-434D-A711-B428F6220807.html
Configure vSphere for management VMs
Connect to a vSphere Server using the vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client and perform the following steps:
1. Add licenses for vCenter and ESXi.
2. Create a host cluster for management and add the two management hosts. Note that in larger user configurations, it might be necessary to have a third-management host to provide scalability and failover of the management nodes, that is, all the users need to be managed by the remaining
two hosts if one goes down.
3. Configure the high availability for the management hosts.
Install vCenter Server for user VMs
In the case for the user VMs, it is recommended to have separate VMs for the various functions of vCenter
Server – do not use the Simple Install method. That is to separately install vCenter Single Sign-On, vCenter Inventory Service, and vCenter Server as documented at: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-
51/index.jsp#com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-595E62F1-4D32-4A09-81F4-BE59B9217A51.html
Multiple VMs are needed in this case and can be cloned from the template previously created.
Configure vSphere user VMs
Connect to a vSphere Server using the vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client and perform the following
steps:
1. Add licenses for vCenter and ESXi.

Installation guide
38
2. Create a host cluster for users and the user hosts. Note that more than one cluster might be needed depending on the number of supported users.
3. Create a user VM and install the User OS (Windows XP or Windows 7).
4. License the VM and install OS updates.
5. Create a template for the user VM.
6. Configure the virtual networking for the user hosts and test VMware vMotion of the management VMs.
Install VMware View The PureFlex Solution for SDI has a default of 500 user licenses of VMware Horizon View 5.2, which can
be changed when the hardware is being configured before ordering.
Because there are many variations and considerations for installing VMware View, which are version and feature dependent, it is best to use an experienced installer such as IBM GTS or a Business Partner. You
can find the VMware documentation at: http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/view_pubs.html.
Install Citrix XenDesktop Because there are many variations and considerations for installing Citrix XenDesktop, which are version and feature dependent, it is best to use an experienced installer such as IBM GTS or a Business Partner.
You can find the documentation for Citrix XenDesktop at: http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xendesktop/xd-library-wrapper.html

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon
considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput or performance improvements equivalent to the ratios stated here.
Photographs shown are of engineering prototypes. Changes may be incorporated in production models.
