Young-Hyun updated VCL-537:
---------------------------
Description:
IBM SmartCloud Provisioning (formerly BM Service Agility Accelerator for Cloud
(ISAAC) or High Scale Low Touch (HSLT)) is a true IaaS (Infrastructure as a
Service) solution that can reduce costs and offer near-zero downtime and
automated recovery. This provides new solution that provides quick cloud
deployment and features automated provisioning, parallel scalability and
integrated fault tolerance to increase operational efficiency and respond to
user needs. It also provides the foundation to integrate more advanced cloud
capabilities such as cloud service management capabilities.
For more detail information about IBM SmartCloud Provisioning, please visit the
following website.
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/smartcloud-provisioning/
To take the advantages of the advanced features in IBM SmartCloud Provisioning,
I write the new VCL provisioning module called hslt.pm. The new module can
achieve the fast VCL reservation by creating paths (links) to the virtual
machine images instead of copying the original images to the instance directory
in NFS file systems. For example, the main portion of the reservation time
depends on the time for copying original images to the instance directory in
NFS systems and it is not trivial at all. But IBM SmartCloud Provisioning does
not require to copy images themselves. Instead, it creates links (paths) to the
images in the hypervisor nodes and the hypervisors will map the links and load
the images. This can reduce costs for both reservation times and storage
usages.
Please take a look the hslt.pm module and contact me if you have questions.
Thanks,

IBM Service Agility Accelerator for Cloud (ISAAC) provides a true
infrastructure-as-a-service cloud with near-zero downtime and automated
recovery across heterogeneous platforms.
The ISAAC can provide the following features:
1. Fast VM provisioning capability
2. Adding capacity to cloud
3. Providing continuity of service despite hardware failures
Summary: Add IBM SmartCloud Provisioning support for VCL (was: Add
support for IBM ISAAC )
