HPE Synergy Image Streamer

Overview

HPE Synergy Image Streamer

HPE Synergy is composable bladed infrastructure for any workload in a hybrid cloud environment.

One infrastructure for any workload increases your productivity and control across a hybrid cloud environment. HPE Synergy infrastructure supports current- and next-gen apps, across diverse infrastructure requirements and service level objectives. It's designed with extensible management through a unified API -- which enables both today's IT workloads and support for emerging technologies for the next decade. 

Automating everyday operations eliminate costs, frees up resources, and simplifies IT operations with software-defined intelligence. This includes security features that go beyond perimeter security -- to prevent, detect, and recover from threats. 

HPE Synergy accelerates application and service delivery time by deploying at cloud-like speed and scale -- and by enabling faster and smarter apps development with a developer-friendly infrastructure.


HPE Synergy Composer, powered by HPE OneView, manages the Composable Infrastructure.

It delivers...

  • Fluid pools of resources, where a single infrastructure of Compute, Storage, and Fabric boots up ready for workloads and demonstrates self-assimilating capacity,
  • Software-defined intelligence, with a single interface that precisely composes logical infrastructures at near-instant speeds; and demonstrates template-driven, frictionless operations, and
  • Unified API Access, which enables simple line-of-code programming of every infrastructure element; easily automates IT operational processes; and effortlessly automates applications through infrastructure deployment.

HPE Synergy Composer provides the enterprise-level management to compose and deploy system resources to your application needs. This management appliance uses software-defined intelligence with embedded HPE OneView to aggregate Compute, Storage and Fabric resources in a manner that scales to your application needs.

 

HPE Synergy Image Streamer accelerates application and service delivery

HPE Synergy Image Streamer works with HPE Synergy Composer to rapidly deploy and update composable infrastructure. The Image Streamer management appliance provides software-defined control over physical compute modules with OS provisioning. By utilizing true stateless computing, Synergy Image Streamer can automate the deployment of similar images onto new servers or quickly change workloads between Linux, VMware ESX, and Microsoft Windows.

  • Support tools bundled into Image Streamer for use by HPE Support to check the health of the management appliance.

Standard Features

HPE Synergy Image Streamer is a hardware management appliance that is designed to work with HPE Synergy Composer to rapidly deploy and update infrastructure. Image Streamer units operate in pairs for redundancy and high availability.

Image Streamer 

"Provision at cloud-like speed"

HPE Synergy Image Streamer adds a powerful dimension to 'infrastructure as code'-the ability to manage physical servers like virtual machines. This new approach for composable infrastructure combines true stateless computing with rapid deployment and updates.

 

In traditional environments, deploying an OS or hypervisor is time consuming because it requires building or copying the software image onto individual servers, possibly with multiple reboot cycles. In HPE Synergy, the tight integration of HPE Image Streamer with HPE Composer enhances server profiles with images and personalities for true stateless operation.

True stateless computing combines the following elements using software-defined intelligence:

  • Profile - Software-defined intelligence which defines compute modules
  • Golden Image -- Operating environment (Bootable OS and Application) and I/O driver version
  • Personality - Operating system (OS) and Application configuration (Hostname, IP config, etc.)

Notes: If your golden image captures your application stack, then your application stack can also be deployed and/or updated with HPE Image Streamer.

 

HPE Composer, powered by HPE OneView, captures the physical state of the server in the server profile. HPE Image Streamer enhances this server profile (and its desired configuration) by capturing your golden image as the 'deployed software state' in the form of bootable image volumes. These enhanced server profile and bootable OS images are software structures ('infrastructure as code')-no compute module hardware is required for these operations! The bootable OS images are stored on redundant HPE Image Streamer appliances, and they are available for fast implementation onto multiple compute nodes at any time. This enables bare-metal compute modules to boot directly into a running OS and multiple compute nodes to be quickly updated.

 

HPE Image Streamer implements 'infrastructure as code' to manage physical servers with flexibility like virtual machines to reduce complexity, provide consistency across infrastructure, and save significant time and resources.


True Stateless Operation

Stateless protocols, like Internet Protocol (IP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), treat each request as an independent transaction and unrelated to any previous request. Stateless operation does not require a compute module to retain session information or status.

 

Stateless systems can simplify compute nodes by allowing the removal of local hard disks and RAID controllers. Systems can also be pre-planned, for fast implementation later. And stateless systems can also switch to a different personality quicker than with a local installation. These advantages of stateless systems can result in CAPEX savings on server-local hardware and in highly cost-effective operations when compared to traditional 'boot-from-SAN' or local storage volumes.

 

HPE Image Streamer provides true 'stateless' operation by combining Profiles (from HPE Composer) with your golden images (OE and I/O driver) and with your personalities (OS and application). The resulting stateless images can be pre-planned for your environment and can remain in your control in a highly-available image repository. These stateless images are then available on-demand for rapid implementation onto hardware when needed - for initial deployment or for fast updates!



 

High-Availability

 

Boot and Run Environment

HPE Image Streamer provides a high-availability (HA) configuration of two physical management appliances. These redundant physical appliances install into HPE Synergy frame appliance bays and are automatically set up as a repository to manage and deploy your images on remote storage volumes. Image Streamer pairs are configured in a Network RAID-10 configuration. This provides a highly-available boot and run environment for your compute modules.

Image Streamer environments scale by adding additional pairs of Image Streamer units for each additional Logical Enclosure (LE). Primary pairs will failover to secondary pairs to maintain high availability operations. HPE Image Streamer can support up to seven LE's per management ring with either 10Gb or 20Gb fabrics in this release. Full scaling up to 21 frames per management ring can be achieved using multiple LE's.


Deploy and Update

HPE Image Streamer uses similar processes for initial deployments and image updates. This is a new paradigm in how to manage images for compute modules. This paradigm improves administrator control over multiple nodes and multiple virtual machine hosts while improving operating efficiencies and dramatically increasing agility.

 

Deployments are performed from your golden images, with its operating environments and personalities.  Your image content can consist of the compute module's Profile (from HPE Composer), and your Golden Image (operating environment with a bootable OS and application, and the I/O driver version) and your Personality (operating system and application configuration, which includes the hostname, IP config, etc.). If you capture an application stack as part of your image, then that application can also be deployed and updated.

 

In HPE Composer, the deployment plan and image parameters are specified, which results in a REST API call to the Image Streamer appliance. The Image Streamer appliance then provisions boot/run storage volume and deploys the operating system image to it. It then personalizes the operating system per the deployment plan, and generates iSCSI target for the boot/run volume. HPE Composer automatically configures the compute node with an iSCSI boot target. When the system administrator powers on a compute module, that bare-metal compute module will boot directly into a running operating system.

 

Updates can likewise be performed by capturing revised images and rapidly re-deploying them. Out-of-compliance images can be quickly replaced with updated images on the specified nodes. HPE Image Streamer works with HPE Composer to provide a simple user experience to accomplish server boot/run storage provisioning and operating system deployment.

 

Automated deployments for VMware ESX can be performed using the HPE integration for VMware vCenter (HPE OneView for VMware vCenter). Likewise, sample Ansible playbooks for deployments and updates for RHEL Linux are available. See https://github.com/HewlettPackard/

 

HPE Synergy Image Streamer is most effective when similar images are deployed to multiple compute modules. Its 'infrastructure-as-code' control can provide significant time savings in web-scale environments, where a software image needs to be provisioned across a large number of infrastructure blocks. These capabilities can greatly benefit IT areas needing fast changeovers, security updates, HA image storage, or programmatic access and control over infrastructure.

 



 

Workload Switching

Synergy Image Streamer activates the Synergy "fluid resource pools" by enabling workload switching.

Image Streamer achieves this using:

  • Integrated deployment using Server Profiles and Templates
  • Storing bootable images for all compute modules, and
  • Rapid OS/workload provisioning and updates. 

Workload switching can provide you with operations flexibility for maximum utilization and efficiency.


Tools for  Images

A variety of tools are provided in HPE Image Streamer to assist you in creating and manipulating images:

  • Golden image capture
  • Deployment plan, build plan, capture plan, and plan script creation and modification
  • Import and export of the above artifacts
  • Personalization environment (software image configuration)
  • Sample artifacts for ESXi, RHEL, SLES, Microsoft Windows Server 2019, and Microsoft Hyper-V. 

HPE Image Streamer supports a variety of operations for flexibility in how you handle your images. For example, you can capture golden images for your use, import images from another location, or to edit some of your 'known good' images for re-use. This flexibility allows you to easily establish your desired images for use.

A variety of images can be used on HPE Image Streamer. Sample artifacts are provided for:

  • VMware ESXi (6.0, 6.5, 6.7),
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.6),
  • RHEL OS with XFS filesystem using artifacts with FAT32 content,
  • SUSE Linux (SLES 12 SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4),
  • SLES OS with BTRFS filesystem using artifacts with FAT32 content,
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019, and
  • Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016, and 2019.  

You can also enable your own specific images and image types using the tools provided with HPE Image Streamer.  HPE will provide support for the artifacts and automation scripts as posted in HPE GitHub. See https://github.com/HewlettPackard/. Consulting services are available for a fee for additional modification to these artifacts.


Customize Your Environment

HPE Synergy Image Streamer allows users to deploy customized boot images containing operating system and application software.  The deployment process 'per compute module' allows users to configure the image based on parameters defined in an HPE OneView server profile, as well as on user-defined parameters.

 

HPE Image Streamer provides a mechanism to capture a golden image from a compute module which has been deployed with operating system and application software.  This software is installed onto an empty HPE Image Streamer boot volume.  Once captured, HPE Image Streamer clones this "golden image" when creating new boot volumes during HPE Synergy server profile compute module provisioning. 

 

The boot volume creation process also allows the user to configure the OS and application as desired.  This is accomplished by HPE Image Streamer executing configuration scripts on the cloned boot volume.  HPE Image Streamer provides facilities to create these customization scripts (plan scripts) and a build plan which will properly marshal them during configuration.  Attributes for variables in the plan scripts can be sourced from server profile parameters (such as network connection parameters), or parameters captured from the user when creating a server profile. 


 

HPE Image Streamer defines plan scripts, build plans and deployment plans, which associate build plans and golden images, as artifacts.  Each HPE Image streamer is pre-loaded with a basic set of artifacts to aid the user in learning the artifact creation process.  Sample artifacts for use in different types of environments are provided free-of-charge for users on the HPE GitHub site. (See https://github.com/HewlettPackard/

 

Users can easily modify the sample artifacts to customize them for their specific environments. Consulting services are also available to help users create or modify HPE Image Streamer artifacts.

 


User Privacy

HPE Image Steamer works as a complement to HPE Composer and leverages its server profile capabilities. User access control is also leveraged from HPE Composer to maintain user privacy. Furthermore, control over the deployment and update processes are contained within the Image Streamer appliance only.  These processes utilize the HPE Image Streamer HA image repository volume storage and do not directly involve the compute modules.


Integration

Tight integration of HPE Image Streamer with HPE Composer allows simple setup and use. HPE Image Streamer integration with HPE Composer and with its profiles are set up automatically. Image Streamer also automatically configures the compute module's UEFI to perform an iSCSI boot from the volume.

 

Unlike traditional boot-from-SAN environments, HPE Image Streamer requires no additional manual setup or configuration (like multipath support, adapter configuration, access control, and SAN array configuration in typical SAN environments). This integration allows HPE Image Streamer to set up and deploy new boot volumes much faster than traditional direct attach boot disks or boot-from-SAN environments. And because HPE Image Streamer functionality is accessed through HPE Composer, it can also be programmatically controlled using the Unified API.

 

In its initial product release, it is recommended to set up Image Streamer at the same time as the initial Synergy system installation to avoid later reconfiguration work.


Unified API

A Unified API enables access to the full power of HPE Image Streamer, assuming appropriate permissions, via the HPE Composer Representational State Transfer (REST) API and State-Change Message Bus. RESTful APIs are the standard of the modern IT industry because they are widely used, simple, and efficient. You can integrate, automate, and customize your use of HPE Image Streamer to control its activities using the Unified API.

 

The Unified API, which is also native to HPE OneView, makes 'infrastructure as code' accessible to:

  • Create an intelligent automation hub to orchestrate and reduce manual operations,
  • Automate standard work flows, troubleshooting steps, and integrations (such as for configuration management databases, also known as CMDB),
  • Connect to Service Desks, providing a consistent and reliable representation of the state of infrastructure across multiple tools at any given moments,
  • Monitor resources, collect data, map/model systems, and export data to custom formats,
  • Attach custom databases, data warehouses, or 3rd party business intelligence tools, or
  • Integrate in-house user customizations.

HPE Composer, which embeds HPE OneView, hosts a powerful State-change Message Bus which the REST APIs use to provide automation and a closed-loop method of ensuring compliance. This interface notifies custom scripts and integrations of all changes to managed resources (both logical and physical resources) via asynchronous messaging without having to continuously poll for status. The message bus returns commands in 500 milliseconds to give you fast responses for your custom integration of applications, processes, and devices.


 

Through HPE OneView, HPE Composer also provides access to an embedded RabbitMQ, a highly-scalable and distributed message bus infrastructure. RabbitMQ supports the industry-standard Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), and it offers a variety of enterprise-class management features like reliability, high availability, flexible routing, clustering, federation, guaranteed delivery, multiprotocol, and tracing.

 

Using the HPE Unified RESTful APIs, you can obtain certificates to access the two message buses: the State-Change Message Bus or the Metric Streaming Message Bus. The message content is sent in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format and includes the resource model.

Software developer kits (SDK) for the REST-based Unified API are available for several languages:

  • Python: https://github.com/HewlettPackard/python-hpOneView
  • PowerShell: https://github.com/HewlettPackard/POSH-HPOneView
  • Java: https://github.com/HewlettPackard/oneview-sdk-java
  • Ruby: https://github.com/HewlettPackard/oneview-sdk-ruby
