Operating System Application Application Application

Traditionally the OS and its applications were tightly coupled to the hardware they were installed on

Virtualization breaks the link between operating system and physical hardware

This allows the ability to change hardware without replacing the OS or applications

Additionally multiple instances of an OS with independent applications can now run on the same hardware

Hypervisor

What is Virtualization?

Typical computer refresh cycle is 3-5 years Typical Industrial control system refresh is15 to 20

years Computer replacements typically require software

upgrades which are expensive and difficult Virtual hardware exposed to the guest OS does not

change when physical hardware is replaced Each virtual hardware version is supported for three

major releases of vSphere

Increased Application Longevity

• Many physical servers - Under utilized - Requiring maintenance - Generating heat - Consuming energy

• Fewer physical servers – More efficiently utilized – Easier to maintain – Generating less heat – Consuming less energy

VMware Player Overview

Free solution built on the same hypervisor technology as VMware Workstation

Allows basic creation, modification and use of one or more virtual machines

Similar in functionality to Windows Virtual PC and WindowsXP mode for Windows 7

Aimed at end users that need multiple OS or software versions with limited IT support.

Page 11: Rockwell Introductiontovirtualizationforcontrolsystems

VMware Workstation Overview

Easily and quickly build and run multiple VM’s Snapshot capabilities to allow rapid recovery from

botched upgrades or destructive tests Basic server functions, for sharing VM’s with a team

of engineers Integration with VMware vSphere

Aimed at developers and engineers that need to build a multi tiered application in a test environment, then seamlessly migrate to a production server cluster.

VMware vSphere Overview

Combines multiple servers and storage units into a pool of resources that can be divided between applications

Provides central management for servers and their applications

Advanced high availability and disaster recovery features

Intended to provide a highly available, always on back end for server applications and desktops. Can segment hardware into multiple priority groups allowing development testing and production to share the same hardware.

Centralized management (servers)

• Monitor all host servers and virtual machines • Deploy new VM’s from template • Attached to the console session to manage installed applications • Shutdown / reset problem VM’s • (optional) Backup and restore virtual machines with integrated

addons

VMware View Overview

Central management for both engineering and operations clients

Rapid deployment of new desktops and updates Run virtual machines on production server cluster,

or on engineering laptop Client can run on a range of devices from desktops

to tablets End user focuses on using the applications rather

than managing his virtual machine library

Aimed at systems that could benefit from centralized management

Centralized management (clients)

• View status of current clients • Reset problem clients • Provision new systems • Rapidly deploy tested patches

or software updates • Entitle or revoke user access

VMware View VDM can also be used to manage access to Microsoft Terminal Services

VMware View vs. Workstation

VMware View Production Environments Centralized management Composer functionality for rapid patch

and update deployment Securely provision environments for

contractors and vendors Thin client support

Execution occurs in the data center not at the client endpoint

Offline mode support Allows disconnect use of desktop

for traveling users

Workstation • Development for SI/Engineers • Decentralized management • Lower hardware costs for small

deployments • Broader OS support

Page 25: Rockwell Introductiontovirtualizationforcontrolsystems

Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.

Typical Hardware Architecture

In the data center • Storage Array (iSCSI, FC, NFS) • 2-5 Physical Servers • Redundant Gigabit Switches

In the office and on the shop floor • legacy desktops • ruggedized laptops • solid state thin clients • Tablets (iPad / Android)

Server Considerations

CPU 2 CPU sockets with 4-8 cores each Consolidation Ratios of 8 – 20 VM’s per Server

Memory 32-128GB physical RAM per server Suggested initial allocations

Operator Workstations: 2 GB Engineer Workstation: 4 GB HMI/Historian Server: 4 GB

Monitor actual memory usage and adjust allocations up or down depending on actual application usage

Number of Servers For redundant systems, 3 physical servers is a suggested minimum, allowing for full

application redundancy during infrastructure maintenance periods.

Page 27: Rockwell Introductiontovirtualizationforcontrolsystems

Storage Considerations

Storage Options Fibre Channel NAS iSCSI Direct Attached SAS Virtualized SAN

Selection Factors Capacity / Price / Performance Disk types (SCSI, ATA, FC, SATA) Access Time; IOPS; Sustained Transfer Rate Reliability (MTBF)

Virtual machine performance is highly dependent on I/O throughput of the storage array

Page 28: Rockwell Introductiontovirtualizationforcontrolsystems

Copyright © 2012 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.

Virtualization requires additional networks to manage and isolate information traffic VM Network(s)

Ie./ Assembly Line 1 VLAN, Assembly Line 2 VLAN, DMZ Management / vMotion Storage Network (If applicable) Fault Tolerant Network

So how many NIC’s do I need on my server? 2 per traffic type. For a system with iSCSI, Fault Tolerance and a DMZ: 10

Gigabit Switches are required, 10GbE switches may be used Networks should be isolated by VLAN’s The NICs connected to the Servers act as Trunks into your vSwitches

System Design Industrial Network Architecture Design Product Selection – Generate BOM for enclosure, servers, storage, switching, cables, Cable Interconnect design Generate all system drawings and documentation

System Fabrication Load BOM into ERP/Business system and generate all PO’s Receive Product - open, check against order, inspect, receive in system, dispose Packaging

Build Cabinet Install all HW

Install all cables and wire markers Perform functional test (Green lights) Burn in system

Additional value of standard system The design has been Thermally Validated – can improve system reliability by more than

20 percent The Cabinet would meet applicable global standards (i.e. UL 508A ) Bundle would include either a 1 day or 3 day onsite start-up assistance package

Time Estimates

Design time 15 – 16 engineering days, assumes CCNA (Cisco Certified), VCP (VMware Certified), and storage experienced engineer with final approval from IT. Fabrication/test time; 7 – 8 days assumes trained technician level experienced employee.
