30. Why SW XOR? The IS5600 and the IS5500 are Intel-based RAID Controllers. They utilize the HW based XOR capability contained in the CPU cores. The SW XOR was engineered to “assist” and augment the HW XOR function and improve overall performance SW XOR is a Parity Engine built into Firmware Integrated with IS5500 and IS5600 There is no Change to API Augments the Hardware XOR Boosts Performance SW XOR is Automatic and Adaptive No User Interaction

32. Performance Monitor Overview Performance Monitor allows you to track a storage array’s key performance data and identify performance bottlenecks in your system. You can use Performance Monitor to perform these tasks: View real time values of the data collected for a monitored device. See a historical view of a monitored device Specify the performance metric and the objects that you want to monitor.

35. Workload Capture Workload Capture is Inline IO Activity Logging for any IS5x00 Controllers SCSI Trace: Deep insight into customer workloads IO Stats: Per-LUN resource utilization over time IOPS impact is less than 4% @ 100% utilization Offline Workload Analysis Tools Sequentiality, heat map, burstiness, latency/BW, …
36. Addressing misbehaving drives Installs infrastructure to support Drive power cycle for recovery Drive slot power cycle is supported by ALL enclosures Some drive errors may be cleared by resetting the drive via power cycling Collect additional drive error information For a non-responsive drive For an unexpected drive check conditions Capture HW errors on both drive ports Report drive error information when state capture is requested. Failed Drive Recovery will be implemented in several phases. The initial phase provides the capability to power cycle drives Also provide state capture data on failure conditions related to drives There is no obvious behavior change apparent to the customer. The capability to power drive slots off and on is not yet available The drive failure data log is added as part of Capture Data
37. Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP)
38. Historic View Of RAID Advancement DDP Multiple disk failure protection Virtual hot spares 100% performance in optimal state 85% to 90% performance in degraded state Degraded performance continues until pool is rebalanced Rebalance of pool minimum 2x faster than RAID 6 RAID 5 Single disk failure protection Required hot spare 100% performance in optimal state Same degraded performance as RAID 6 Degraded performance same as RAID 6 RAID 6 Double disk failure protection Reduced need for hot spares 100% performance in optimal state 60% to 70% performance in degraded state (with failed drive or during rebuild) Degraded performance continues until disk replacement and data rebuilt Rebuild of drive very time consuming 2012 2006 1987
39. Data rebalancing in minutes vs. days Performance Impact of a Drive Failure Business Impact Optimal Acceptable Business Impact 4+ DAYS Performance 2.5 DAYS 99% Exposure Improvement RAID DDP Time 1.3 DAYS No Impact 96 Minutes! (estimate) Hours Typical Rebalancing Improvements based on 24-drive Mixed Workload
40. Should I use DDP or RAID?Comes down to ONE question: Are you assigning a singlesequential application to a set of drives? Single Sequential Application on drives? Use DDP NO Dynamic Disk Pools YES Easiest to Use Trivial Expansions Thin Provisioning Mixed Workloads High Performance Requirements Dominate? NO YES RAID Highest Sequential Performance Dedicated Workloads Solid State Disks Expert Tuning Options Use RAID
41. RAID vs. Dynamic Disk Pools DDP Multiple Continual Seeks Mixed Workload Virtualization Transactional DB User Space SAS NL-SAS Simultaneous Applications per Drive Minimal Seeks Single Single Workload Batch Processing Streaming RAID Sequential Random Type of Data Access
42. Dynamic Disk Pools Delivers Simplicity and speed - No RAID to manage Maximized drive investment - No idle spares and no management Active Spares – all drives share pre-allocated spare capacity Consistent Performance – data is balanced, no hot spots Easy scalability – data is dynamically rebalanced Increased availability – Worry-free drive failure Pool is dynamically rebalanced, with fewer drives ALL drives contribute to regeneration (scalable, very fast) ALL drives receive some regenerated segments Performance is stable throughout
43. Dynamic segment rebalancing Segments across 10 random drives in the pool. Different segments, different 10 drives Adding Capacity is Effortless Existing Pool Drive loss is a non-event Segments regenerated and dynamically rebalanced across all drives
44. Dynamic Disk Pool Videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmqPLfcTTtY Don Wake, NetApp and Asim Khan, SGI
45. Dynamic Disk Pools Details Data broken up into segments (normal storage) Data segments are random across the whole pool Random 10 drives are used for each data segment Segments per drive balanced - No hot spots Add drives, segments rebalanced Spare capacity distributed throughout pool On drive failure Pool is dynamically rebalanced, just with fewer drives ALL drives contribute to regeneration (scalable, very fast) ALL drives receive some regenerated segments Performance is stable throughout Minimum configuration is 11 drives Supports BOTH RAID and DDP at the same time
46. DDP Insight – Key Concepts At the Volume Level… Volume data is distributed across the entire disk pool At the Stripe Level… Each volume is comprised of some number of 4GB“virtual stripes” called Dynamic Stripes or D-Stripes For example: 1TB volume has 250 D-Stripes Every D-Stripes resides on a pseudo-random set of 10 drives within the pool Different set of 10 drives is used for each D-Stripe D-Stripes are based on RAID 6 (8+2) Chosen to provide optimal data protection
47. DDP Configuration Guidelines * 11 drive minimum pool size equates to 8+2+spare ** 10 disk pools were tested *** 64 TB max volume supports a single volume in a 24-drive pool with 3TB drives
