  1. Block Storage Provisioning and Management Upon completion of this module, you should be able to: Describe configuration guidelines for provisioning storage Configure and manage storage objects Block Storage Provisioning and Management

  2. Block Storage Provisioning and Management Lesson 1: VNX Storage Objects This lesson covers the following topics: General considerations Storage Pools and RAID Groups LUNs Block Storage Provisioning and Management

  3. General Considerations for Configuring Storage • Drive types • Drives selection should be based upon the expected workload • FLASH for extreme performance • SAS for general performance • NL-SAS for streaming, aging data and archives, and backups • RAID levels • Match the appropriate RAID level with the expected workload • RAID 1/0 for heavy transactional random writes (> 25%) • RAID 5 for medium-high performance, general workloads, and sequential I/O • RAID 6 for NL-SAS read-based workloads and archives Block Storage Provisioning and Management

  4. Pool vs. RAID Group Pool Example RAID Group Examples Extreme Performance Tier (SSD) RAID 1/0: (4+4) RAID 1/0: (4+4) RAID 5: (8+1) RAID 5: (8+1) RAID 5: (8+1) RAID Group 0 RAID Group 1 RAID 6: (14+2) RAID 6: (14+2) Performance Tier (SAS) RAID Group 2 RAID 5: (4+1) RAID Group 3 RAID 6: (6+2) Capacity Tier (NL-SAS) RAID Group 4 Block Storage Provisioning and Management

  10. Block Storage Provisioning and Management Lesson 1: Summary During this lesson the following topics were covered: General considerations Storage Pools and RAID Groups LUNs Block Storage Provisioning and Management

  11. Block Storage Provisioning and Management Lesson 2: Managing Storage Objects This lesson covers the following topics: Creating Storage Pools Creating LUNs Displaying and monitoring storage objects Block Storage Provisioning and Management

  12. Provisioning Storage with Unisphere The Pools tab is selected by default Block Storage Provisioning and Management

  13. Creating a Storage Pool Multiple combo boxes will be shown for the level of performance that can be achieved with the installed disk types Block Storage Provisioning and Management

  14. Creating a Pool LUN Thin LUNs are created by default. To create a Thick LUN uncheck the Thin box. Block Storage Provisioning and Management

  29. Summary Key points covered in this module: • Described characteristics of VNX storage objects such as pools, LUNs, disks, and RAID Groups. • Considerations for employing the different storage object options • Both thick and thin LUNs can share the same pool • Steps to create Pool and RAID Group storage pools, and thin and thick LUNs from these pools.
