Implementation Planning
3-44 Sun Confidential: Internal Only 96257
Revision A
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.
