  1. ProjectWise Virtualization Kevin Boland

  2. What is Virtualization? Virtualization is a technique for deploying technologies. Virtualization creates a level of indirection or an abstraction layer between a physical object and the managing or using application. -Site definition in Google

  3. Who provides Virtualization? • VMWare – VMWare WorkStation, GSX, ESX and Virtual Server. • Microsoft – Virtual PC, Microsoft Virtual Server • There are a number of other smaller providers of virtualization software.

  4. With Virtualization • Break dependencies between OS and hardware • Manage OS and application as single unit by encapsulating them into VMs • Strong fault and security isolation • VMs are hardware-independent: they can be provisioned anywhere • Single OS image per machine • Software and hardware tightly coupled • Running multiple applications on same machine often creates conflict • Underutilized, inflexible, costly infrastructure Without Virtualization

  5. Why Virtualize ProjectWise? • Server Consolidation • Requirement • Maximizing server potential • Ease of deployment

  6. Why virtualize ProjectWise? • Server Consolidation

  7. Why virtualize ProjectWise? • Ease of Deployment

  8. Cluster and Fail Over • High Availability • Redundant

  9. Cluster and Fail Over • Clustering- provides load balancing and two-node failover, which allows a second server to take over if the first one fails.

  10. Clustering/NLB Options

  11. ProjectWise In a Cluster How To Setup Projectwise In A Clustered Environment

  12. ProjectWise In a Cluster • Requirements • A working cluster configuration • A database server to host the Projectwise database, this should not be part of the Projectwise cluster • One or more file transfer servers to provide file storage, these should not be part of the Projectwise cluster

  13. Microsoft Cluster Setting

  14. ProjectWise In a Cluster • Configure the database • A database should be configured to host the Projectwise database using the standard installation procedures. An ODBC data source should then be created on each machine in the cluster pointing to the Projectwise database. It is required that the ODBC data sources are identical in each machine.

  15. ProjectWise In a Cluster Install Projectwise on each machine in the cluster. All installation paths and other details should be the same on each machine. After Projectwise is installed, make sure all Projectwise services are stopped on each machine.

  16. ProjectWise In a Cluster • Create the datasource • The datasource entries in the dmskrnl.cfg file can be created in several ways • Create the datasource on one of the cluster machines before it is added to the cluster using normal procedures

  17. Clustering with ProjectWise All dmskrnl.cfg files across the entire cluster should be identical.

  18. Clustering with Caching Servers

  19. Configuration of Storage Area

  20. Fail Over and Clustering with VM’s • Fail over inside the VM or the VM itself. • Store virtual machine disks on local or shared storage. VMFS cluster file system manages virtual machine disk storage or SAN. • Build virtual networks/domain within or across multiple Servers.
