Part-1: NDS Virtualisation Solution Assessment Scenario You are working as a System Engineer in NDS (National Disability Services) head office located in Adelaide CBD. IT manager Mr. Simon has assigned you as a team lead to implement infrastructure and desktop virtualisation for NDS. You are given the diagram shown in Figure-1. The current infrastructure contains three 6500 Catalyst switches connected using Layer 2 links. Building access switches, WAN routers, and Windows servers all connect to the 6500 switches. The size of the organisation is large containing approximately 3000 staff that are separated in the following four groups:

• Directors
• Managers
• Administration
• ICT Support

• Production
• Sales and Marketing

Figure 1: NDS Current Network Part-A: Writeup to submit

1. Considering the features and components of desktop virtualization environment, could you mention your research out put on desktop virtualization software vendors?

2. After a careful consideration of NDS existing IT infrastructure, determine organizational needs and suitability of Virtualization including technical specifications, licensing and system requirements for NDS. 3. Design an IT infrastructure for NDS focusing on the followings- a. Organizational requirements/Desktop design objectives b. Virtualization host software c. Implementation Plan d. Hiring Personnel 4. Discuss about documentation and testing plan for NDS IT infrastructure. Part-B: Observation

Requirements
VMware Workstation	DC VM
vCenter Server VM(vCenter1)	ESXi1 VM
ESXi2 VM	Openfiler VM
Windows 2008 Server VM	Windows XP VM

Preparation This step is required if you are using Virtual Machine.

• Log in to the Local Machine. Get all the VM in c:\download .
• Open VMWare Workstation. Navigate to File -> Open -> Click on Computer -> C -> download -> DC -> W2k8R2.vmx -> Click on Open. Again click on Power on this virtual machine on the right side.
• Power on other VMs(Vcenter1,ESXi1,ESXi2,) one after another but take time when one is booting. Open Openfiler VM when required.
• Username: Administrator, Password: Password1 is for all VMs.

Section 1: Configure Data Center and convert host to VM.

Tasks need to be performed	C	NCY
Install vsphere client to Connect to vcenter server.
Configure your datacenter with name 5EVE_
Add host ESXi1 & ESXi2
Install VMWare converter and convert Windows 2008 Server VM to a VM of one of the host of Datacenter which is ESXi1.Ensure the the new VM of Datacenter is running successfully
Convert XP VM to a VM of ESXi1 host and name as WinXP ESXi1
Convert XP VM to a VM of ESXi2 host and name as WinXP ESXi2
Take a snapshot of all VMs named section1

Section 2: Configure Virtual Networks

Tasks need to be performed	C	NCY
Add a standard switch vswitch1
Add vmnic1 and vmnic2 to vswitch1
Configure a Port Group in vSwitch 1 and put the group in VLAN 10
Configure a Port Group in vSwitch 1 and put the group in VLAN 20
Configure a port group NICTeam and assign NIC of both Windows 2008 server and WinXP ESXi1 to this new port group. Configure NIC Teaming. Assign Adapter 1 as Active and Adapter 2 as Standby
Change Load balancing of vswitch1 to IP hash-based load balancing
Add additional 2 NIC(Bridged) vmnic3 & vmnic4 and Create a distributed switch named _dvswitch across ESXi1 and ESXi2
Create Port group Servers with vlan 30 and Workstations with vlan 40 in the new DVSwitch
Take a snapshot of all VMs named section2

Section 3: Configuring Storage Device and move VMs to Storage. Open the openfiler VM which is just installed and follow the instructions. Restore all other VMs to section1 snapshot

Tasks need to be performed	C	NCY
Put IP address 192.168.20.30 and join to domain w2k8ad as openfiler.w2k8ad.local.check DNS entry for FQDN openfiler.w2k8ad.local
Add a 100 GB virtual hard disk to openfiler and Create ISCSI target on openfiler with login name openfiler and password password
Enable the ISCSI Target service and allow 192.168.20.0/24 nework to connect with a name w2k8ad LAN
Create a physical volume with 100 GB disk.Make a volume group named exam_volume_group. Create a logical volume exam_volume
Create a ACL to allow 192.168.20.0/24 with name w2k8ad LAN to access this target and map the LUN.
Login to the vcenter through vsphere client and activate sofware ISCSI initiator
Create a VMFS Datastore. Create storage with openfiler iSCSI disk and name it Exam-Storage. Check adding LUN via iSCSI to ESXi1 & 2. Check iSCSI data storage is available from both host
Migrate Windows 2008 Server in ESXi1 host to Openfiler datastorage which is Exam-Storage
Take a snapshot of all VMs named section3

Section 4: Configuring High Availability of VMs.

Tasks need to be performed	C	NCY
Create a Cluster name Exam_data_Cluster in datacenter.Add both the host to the cluster.
Add secondary Management network for high availability in each host named ManagementExam
Turn on high availability and ensure if any host go down Windows 2008 server is always running and accessible
Take a snapshot of all VMs named section4
