6.
Advanced Technical Skills
(ATS) North America SVC Virtualization Provides Value to Clients Improved TCO – Real-time Compression reduces $/GB – Save on Advanced Function licenses – Save on Multipath drivers – Increase use of lower cost disk – Transparency for Multi-Vendor disk – Save time/cost on future migrations Maximized storage investment Improved application availability – Migrate data during ‘normal’ work hours, application independent – Maintain copies of critical data on multiple disk arrays to protect against array outage Improved storage utilization – Opens up the use capacity from multiple disk arrays on same server © 2013 IBM Corporation6 Maximized storage investment – Leverage existing storage as long as it ‘makes good business sense’ – Flexible policy driven tiered storage architecture Increased productivity and consistency – Eliminate weekend work and overtime when migrating, adding storage – Easy to administrate, saves time – Improves ability to react quickly (i.e. relocate data to address problem, etc.) – Single point of administration, less skill needed to support heterogeneous storage platforms. on same server – Thin Provisioning, Zero Detect on Write, Storage Pools, etc - used to maximize storage usage – Easy Tier to provide ‘Sub-LUN’ optimization when/where/if needed Improved performance and connectivity – Improves performance by striping the host LUN across multiple physical ‘back-end’ LUNs, using more physical disk drives to improve performance – Simplifies storage connectivity to hosts. Hosts only worry about connecting to SVC

10.
Advanced Technical Skills
(ATS) North America SVC Considerations Typically recommend creating only one SVC storage pool (managed disk group) per XIV system – With a large number of SVC storage pools (MDG), examine how SVC implements write cache partitioning (Read I/O is not affected) and potentially create multiple XIV storage pools for each SVC storage pool (MDG) © 2013 IBM Corporation10 Number of Pools equals # of partitions Maximum occupancy allowance as % of cache 1 100 2 75 3 40 4 30 5 or more 25
11.
Advanced Technical Skills
(ATS) North America SVC Considerations (cont’d) Extent size guideline – SVC supports extent sizes of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, and 8192 MB • Property of the Storage Pool definition • Affects capacity SVC can manage vs. performance – Recommend 1 GB extent size • 256 MB (default) and 512 MB are also ok Striped, Sequential or Image Mode Volume (VDisk) guideline © 2013 IBM Corporation Striped, Sequential or Image Mode Volume (VDisk) guideline – Utilize Striped mode volumes Identifying an XIV volume in the SVC – When an XIV volume is mapped to SVC, map it to a LUN ID as shown in the XIV GUI - XIV LUN mapping table display • LUN ID displayed is in Decimal – When SVC discovers it, SVC brings it in as the corresponding Hex value which is placed into the field "Controller LUN Number” • Example, if the XIV GUI shows LUN 18, the SVC "Controller LUN Number" becomes 0000000000000012 11
12.
Advanced Technical Skills
(ATS) North America SVC Cluster Zone for intra-node communication SVC to Storage Zones all SVC nodes zoned SVC/XIV Zone Configuration © 2013 IBM Corporation12 all SVC nodes zoned to all storage ports SVC to Host Zones host only zoned to specific IO group
13.
Advanced Technical Skills
(ATS) North America SVC Multi-pathing Configuration • SVC (pre R6.3) has simple multi-pathing from each NODE in the cluster to XIV, this simple multi-pathing allows the SVC to communicate to many disk controllers – Upon LUN Discovery each SVC node will see all paths and pick a preferred port and path to use for a given LUN/MDisk – Each subsequent LUN found in discovery will be assigned the next port and path, the SVC will pick the next port with the least number of MDisk paths assigned to it. – For example SVC Node A Port 0 will see XIV LUN0 on HA0 port 0 and will use this path (it’s not the only one), repeat and overlap for each LUN/MDisk assigned to the SVC. SVC node port 1 -> LUN1 on HA0 port 1 … SVC node port 3 -> LUN15 on HA3 port 4 © 2013 IBM Corporation13 LUN15 on HA3 port 4 • This simple multi-pathing algorithm spreads workload among as many resources as possible • “Round-robin” port selection for virtualized disk in R6.3 – In SVC 6.3, I/Os are submitted using one path per target port per managed disk per node • Enables I/O to a managed disk to progress in a “round robin” fashion • Spread across multiple storage system ports • Paths are chosen according to port groups presented by storage system
