10 Using the Self Service Framework

This chapter covers the common self service operations that need to be performed before setting up DBaaS or MWaaS. It also describes the monitoring operations that can performed on DBaaS or MWaaS. It contains the following sections:

Creating a PaaS Infrastructure Zone

A PaaS Infrastructure Zone is a group of homogeneous resources such as hosts, or other targets. Each resource in a zone represents a location at which a service instance is to be deployed.

Before you enable or setup DBaaS or MWaaS, you must create a PaaS Infrastructure Zone which allows you to define the placement policy constraints for a specified set of targets and the users to whom this zone will be available.

Prerequisites

Before you create a PaaS Infrastructure Zone, you must ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

To create a PaaS Infrastructure Zone, follow these steps:

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Cloud, then select Middleware and Database Home.

  2. From the Middleware and Database Cloud menu, select Create PaaS Infrastructure Zone. The Create PaaS Infrastructure Zone: General page appears.

  3. Enter a name and description for the zone, and specify appropriate values for placement policy constraints based on the resources available to the members. The EM_SSA_ADMINISTRATOR can use these placement policy constraints to set maximum ceilings for any host in the zone. Placement policy values are used during deployment to filter out hosts that are overburdened. You can define the following placement policy constraints for each host:

    • Maximum CPU Utilization: The average CPU utilization percentage over a specified period.

    • Maximum Memory Allocation: The average memory allocation over a specified period.

    During provisioning, hosts with these constraints will not be considered for provisioning operations. Click Next. The Create PaaS Infrastructure Zone page appears.

  4. Specify the Named Credentials to be used for provisioning all the targets in this zone. Click the + icon to add new named credentials. The credentials you specify must be the same for all the hosts in this zone.

  5. In the Targets region, click Add to add one or more targets to the zone. A target can be a host or an OVM Zone. See Creating a Zone for details.

  6. Click Next. The Create PaaS Infrastructure Zone: Roles page appears.

  7. A PaaS Infrastructure Zone can be made available to a restricted set of users through the use of roles. Click Add to add and select the roles that can access this PaaS Infrastructure Zone.

  8. Click Next. The Create PaaS Infrastructure Zone: Review page appears. Review the details of the zone being created and click Submit to create the zone. You will return to the Database and Cloud Home page.

Editing a PaaS Infrastructure Zone

To edit a PaaS Infrastructure Zone, follow these steps:

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Cloud, then select Middleware and Database Cloud Home.

  2. Click on the PaaS Infrastructure Zones link in the General region to drill down to the PaaS Infrastructure Zones page.

  3. Select a PaaS Infrastructure Zone from the list and click Edit.

  4. Follow the steps in the wizard to edit the necessary parameters and click Submit to accept the changes.

Deleting a PaaS Infrastructure Zone

To delete a PaaS Infrastructure Zone, follow these steps:

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Cloud, then select Middleware and Database Cloud Home.

  2. Click on the PaaS Infrastructure Zone link to drill down to the PaaS Infrastructure Zones page.

  3. Select a PaaS Infrastructure Zone from the list and click Delete.

  4. A confirmation message is displayed. Click Delete PaaS Infrastructure Zone to delete the zone.

Viewing the Middleware and Database Cloud Home Page

After the SSA_ADMINISTRATOR has completed DBaaS and MWaaS setup and one or more SSA users have submitted requests, a unified view of the DBaaS and MWaaS service types can be seen on the Middleware and Database Cloud Home page. To view the Middleware and Database Cloud Home page, from the Enterprise menu, select Cloud, then select Middleware and Database Cloud.

Middleware and Database Cloud Home Page

It contains the following regions:

From the Middleware and Database Cloud menu, you can do the following:

Viewing the Middleware and Database Request Dashboard Page

The SSA Administrator can use the Request Dashboard to track the status of all database and middleware requests. The SSA administrator can view the requests across all zones for all users. The requests the SSA user can view depends on his zone and his instance level privileges. You can choose to view Middleware, Databases, or All requests by clicking the appropriate radio button.

To view the Middleware and Database Request Dashboard, from the Enterprise menu, select Cloud, then select Middleware and Database Request Dashboard.

The following charts are displayed:

Viewing All Requests Page

The All Requests page shows a list of requests made so far. You can choose to view database requests, middleware requests, or both. To view the All Requests page, click the View All Requests link in the Latest 10 Failed Requests region in the Middleware and Database Request Dashboard page. For each request, the name of the request, date and time on which was created, the type of request, user who created the request, and the status of the request are displayed.

Click on the Name link to drill down to the Request Details page.

This page contains two tabs:

Viewing the Service Instances Page

The Service Instance page shows the list of all service instances. To view this page, from the Enterprise menu, select Cloud, then select Middleware and Database Cloud. From the Middleware and Database Cloud menu, select Service Instances.

To view the Service Template Details page, click on the Service Template Name link in the Database / Middleware Cloud Self Service Portal Setup page. The following details are displayed:

Viewing the PaaS Infrastructure Zones Page

This page lists all the PaaS Infrastructure zones that have been created. To view this page, from the Enterprise menu, select Cloud, then select Middleware and Database Cloud. Click the PaaS Infrastructure Zones link in the General region to view this page. The name of the zone, the members, servers (total and unallocated), status, and incidents are shown for each zone.

PaaS Infrastructure Zone Home Page

A zone is a logical entity that allows homogenous resources to be grouped together. These homogeneous resources consist of components (servers, storage, networks, operating systems, applications) that are required to create new services. To view this page, from the Enterprise menu, select Cloud, then select Middleware and Database Cloud. Click the PaaS Infrastructure Zones link in the General region to view this page. The PaaS Infrastructure Zones page appears. Click a PaaS Infrastructure Zone link to drill down to the PaaS Infrastructure Zone Home page.
