Implementation Planning

The implementation planning process is designed to identify and schedule completion of configuration, performance tuning, and performance testing activities for a VSM5-VTSS after it has been physically installed at a site.

A team comprised of key customer personnel (systems administrator; network administra- tor; data center manager, system operator, etc.) and Sun Professional Services personnel (technical support specialist; systems engineer; customer service manager, etc.) works to complete these primary tasks:

•Defining a plan for integrating existing devices and systems with the VSM5 system

•Defining a plan to migrate data from other devices and systems to the VSM5 system

•Defining a plan to accomodate the physical layout and floor space requirements of the VSM5-VTSS and other system devices

•Defining a plan for configuring the VSM5 system hardware (channel resources, physical disk, RTDs, etc.), software (ExPR, ExLM, HSC, MVS, NCS, VTCS, etc.), and virtual enti- ties (CLINKs, Nearlinks, VACSs, VTDs, VTVs, etc.)

•Defining a plan for completing performance tuning, performance testing, and certification of VSM5 system hardware and software in the data center environment

•Identifying personnel training needs and scheduling appropriate knowledge-transfer training sessions.
