Hardware Overview – Hard Drive

Comparisons







What is SAS?

―Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) is the logical evolution

of SCSI that satisfies the enterprise data center

requirement for scalability, performance, reliability

and manageability, while leveraging a common

electrical and physical interface with Serial ATA

(SATA). This compatibility provides users with

unprecedented choices for server and storage

subsystem deployment.‖

Source: SCSI Trade Association Organization (Emphasis Added)




How are SAS and FC Similar?

SAS disks are mechanically the same as FC

disks except for the drive interface

– Same magnetic, mechanical, electronic, and

microcode technologies

– Same rotational speeds – Same reliability

FC* SAS*

Rotational Speed 15,000 rpm 15,000 rpm

Avg Rotational Latency 2.0 ms 2.0 msSeek Time Avg Read/Write 3.5 / 4.0 ms 3.5 / 4.0 ms

Transfer Rate (Max) 125 MB/sec sustained 125 MB/sec sustained

Interface Ports 2 2

* For FC and SAS drive specifications:

http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_cheetah_15k_5.pdf






Target SAS Usage

SAS versus SATA provides: – Higher performance

– Higher IOPS with faster response times

– Higher IOPS performance required by small random

read intensive application workloads Typical of Microsoft Exchange and OLTP

SAS and FC drives are priced the same initially

– Comparable performance and reliability same price – Over time, higher production volumes should enable

SAS drive prices to be lower than FC

– FC drives will be gradually phased out by drive

manufacturers




What is SATA?

Serial – ATA

– Serial Advanced Technology Attachment

Enhanced parallel ATA

– Faster transfer speeds (150 Mbps +) – Thin cable connections (7-pin)

Primary SATA storage is

– A storage hardware option for controllers

– Intended for primary applications

– Intended to better match application storage

requirements with solution costs




Primary SATA Storage

Target markets – Latency-insensitive primary applications!!!

Home directories

Data warehouses

– Instances where customer primary applications do not

require peak storage performance (this analysis is

mandatory)

– Once application fit is assured…

For highly competitive deals

To freeze competition out of opportunities

To craft better tuned solutions

Improving Disk Response Time

If the customer wants 2000 IOPS at 20 ms:

How many drives?

– 5.4K ATA?

– 7.2K ATA?

– 10K FC?

– 15K FC?

Which is cheapest?

About 75

About 50

About 19

About 11

15K RPM disks cost 30% more per drive than

10K, but they will be the least expensive way to

meet this requirement




A Case for RAID-DP

RAID-DP is mandatory to enable primary application reliability

– SATA drives are twice as likely to fail

– Drive failures result in RAID reconstructions – twice as many SATAreconstructions

– Five reconstructions per year – nearly 100% chance of data loss from

bit error with RAID 5

RAID-DP buries the bit error risk

System Reliability Event FC SATA

Typical Disk Drive Replacements

(per year per 100 drives)1 – 3 2 – 5

Bit Error Likelihood

(per spindle)0.2% 2.3%

Bit Error Likelihood – Single Parity

(per reconstruction of an 8-Drive RAID 4/5 Set)1.6% 18.4%

Bit Error Likelihood – Dual Parity

(per reconstruction of an 8-Drive RAID-DP® Set)< 1 in a billion




When To Sell Which Drive

If the customer’s requirement is for bytes, not

performance, sell ATA

– ATA drives are only inexpensive if there is no response-

time requirement

If the customer’s requirement is for latency-

constrained performance, sell 15K FC drives

– 15K drives have high cost per byte

– 15K drives offer the lowest cost per operation at a fixed

latency

What Does Remote LAN Module (RLM) Do?

Remote platform management ―built-into‖ the appliance

– Remote power control

– Remote console access

ONTAP CLI, firmware and system diagnostics

Secure network interface (SSH)

– Call home - down controller notifications

– Initiate core-dump (CPU NMI Interrupt) – Access to system logs from a down appliance

Non-volatile HW system event logs

Captured console logs

Software events POST logs

Battery backup on board

New features will be added through SW upgrades

– integration with DFM, support console

Reallocate Command

Available in Data ONTAP 7.0 and later – Runs in background at non-busy times

Useful for:

– Improving spatial locality of files and LUNS

– Solving sequential read performance problems

Cautions

– Reallocate works by rewriting files

– Cannot move data locked into Snapshot copies – If there are Snapshot copies present, requires sufficient

free space

– Rewritten data is changed data, and SnapMirror willmove the changed blocks

Memory Considerations

More memory on host helps when – Few, large host systems

– Large data sets, but not shared among hosts

– Very wide application data foot prints

– Almost always

More memory on controller helps when

– Many hosts, with shared data

– Large metadata needs Lots of big deep directories

– Certain applications with wide data foot prints

Exchange, large databases

M C id ti (C t )




Memory Considerations (Cont.)

Tradeoffs

– In some configurations, a performance tradeoff exists

More memory can mean less disks needed

Less memory can mean more disks needed Slower disks need more memory, faster disks need

less

Summary

– Consider application and architecture of customer

– Understand your customers environment

– Use NetApp white papers and sizing tools

P t l P f




Protocol Performance

CIFS Performance

– CIFS is not really a high-performance protocol, Each connection has low performance demand, BUT

Tens of thousands of CIFS users IS a high-performanceload

– Consolidation of CIFS users is great candy

Careful consideration and sizing needed Use home directory sizing guide

Use Custom Application Sizing tool

WHEN POSSIBLE, correlate CIFS usage with statisticscollection – very powerful

– Be aware of anti-virus needs – Be aware of advanced CIFS features (for example SMB

signing, quotas, oplocks)

Consolidation means CIFS environments are expected to behigh performance, so these environments need carefulattention

P t l P f (C t )




Protocol Performance (Cont.)

iSCSI versus FCP

Often a business, political, or religious choice – Let the customer choose

FCP already, then FCP

Cost conscious? Think iSCSI!

Many non-performance reasons to pick one

Performance factors – iSCSI SW – easy and cheap

Uses more CPU (on host and storage) - often not an issue

– iSCSI HW

Typical NIC cost - CPU consumption is less than SW – Bandwidth - FCP wire is typically 2X Ethernet wire

However, rarely an issue (just use multiple wires)

For the vast majority of cases, iSCSI performance is similarto FCP; other factors typically force the choice

A F T t A id




A Few Traps to Avoid

Do not size based exclusively on price or capacity

Do not try to size or compare a controller performance with

single threaded tests like dd or mv

Do not promise that a controller is always faster than local

storage

Do not use SFS/Netbench or SPC1 number for sizing

purposes

Do not assume that customers always know their

environment – whenever possible collect data to verify

assumptions
