Distributed Power Management
Minimize power consumption while guaranteeing
service levels

• Consolidates workloads onto fewer servers when
  the cluster needs fewer resources
• Places unneeded servers in standby mode
• Brings servers back online as workload needs
  increase

Storage VMotion
Storage VMotion minimizes planned downtime for
storage

• Storage independent live migration of virtual
  machine disks
• Zero downtime to virtual machines
• LUN independent
• Supported for Fibre channel SANs

VMware Update Manager

• Eliminates manual tracking of patch levels of ESX
  Server hosts and virtual machines
• Automates enforcement of patch standards
• Reduces risk through snapshots and offline
  virtual machine patching

Update Manager
Note RHEL guests can only be scanned, not
remediated

Non-disruptive ESX Server Patching with Update
Manager and DRS

• Update Manager patches entire DRS clusters
• Each host in the cluster enters DRS maintenance
  mode, one at a time
• VMs are migrated off, host is patched rebooted
  if required
• VMs are migrated back on
• Next host is selected
