ZFS Storage Appliances

Minimize the time it takes to trouble-shoot and resolve IT issues.

Industry-leading storage efficiency.Eliminate the time required to assess, tune, and deploy storage tiers.

Eliminate management of disparate files and volumes.


MOSTEFFICIENT

Management Efficiency | Analytics

• Industry’s most comprehensive real-time visualization of application- and storage-related workloads (on right picture of database and table index analytics)

• Visualize CPU, cache, protocol, disk, memory, networking, and system-related data, all at the same time.

• Drill down quickly on areas of concern

• Support multiple simultaneous application and workload analysis in real-time, to help compare various aspects of system stress

• Analysis can be saved, exported and replayed for further analysis


ZFS Appliance Dashboard

• Starting point for appliance analysis– Ideal for single device

monitoring

• Real-time updates to graphical view of operations– Utilization and alerts

easy to identify

Monitoring at a glance


ZFS Storage Appliance Analytics

• Simple yet sophisticated instrumentation

• Available on all ZFS Storage Appliance models

• Analysis can be saved, exported and replayed for further analysis

Automatic real-time visualization of application and storage workloads


ZFS Storage Analytics


Statistics

• Statistics are a collection of data displayed and graphed by ZFS Analytics

• Every layer of the stack has available statistics– CPU– Disk– Network– Protocols


Drilling Down into Statistics

• Statistics can be drilled down to form ad-hoc queries– Which clients have the highest access rate on a certain day of the week?– Which NFS operations are taking at least 2 milliseconds during high

production load?– Which disks are seeing the most amount of activity over the past month?


Navigate Through Time

‘Arrow’ buttons move back and forth between the past and present

‘Pause’ suspends the graph, but not data collection ‘Zoom’ buttons control the time scale of the graph

‘Clocks’ are pre-defined zooming to by-minute and by-hour

‘Calendars’ can display an entire day, entire week, or entire month


Worksheets

• A worksheet is a user-defined collection of statistics

• They are persistently saved and can be shared by users

• Handy for crafting just the family of statistics that are relevant for your performance analysis


• A user running a performance test increases the load on the storage in an unexpected way and the storage administrator can drill into the issue in real time to understand where the load is coming from.

“Heat Map” tracking

– Database level Heat Map shows which tables and partitions are being used

– Block level Heat Map shows last modification at the block level

Comprehensive

– Segment level shows both reads and writes

– Distinguishes index lookups from full table scans

– Automatically excludes stats gathering, DDLs, table redefinitions, etc

High Performance– Object level at no cost– Block level < 5% cost

Software | Data Reduction: Deduplication

• Block level (in-line) deduplication

• Not recommended for database backup, active transactional workloads, or heavy throughput workloads

• Recommended for data reduction VM boot images Hash Function

Physically Stored Data Blocks


Software | Data Reduction: Deduplication

• Reduce Costs– Leverage current backup software

– “Inexpensive” and high performance Sun servers

– Shrink backup window by up to 90% (client dedupe)

• Flexibility– Deduplication at the client, backup server, neither, or both

– Deduplicate by data type – eliminates “all or nothing” approach

• Reduce Risk– No hardware vendor lock-in

– Regular disk and tape storage – taking advantage of compression and encryption

– Possible tape deduplication

Deduplication is often completed in the application software layer


ORACLE DATABASE COMPRESSION

ACO

• Algorithms calculated at the database compute tier

• Additional license cost

STORAGE COMPRESSION

• ZFS Storage Appliance

• 4 Levels of compression

• Algorithms executed at the storage tier

• Data type agnostic

• No additional cost

HCC

• Algorithms exeecuted at the database compute tier

• Available at no additional charge with Oracle storage only

Software | Data Reduction: Compression


Software | Data Reduction: Compression Options

LZJB – low-overhead compression, aka “compression for free”

GZIP-2 – lightweight version of gzip algorithm

GZIP – higher compression, but at some compute overhead penalty

GZIP-9 – highest compression, but can consume significant compute resources

• No software license fees for compression

• Options: select compression to suit your workload

• Balance performance and data reduction

• LZJB is very lightweight – in fact it increases performance in some cases

• Higher compression options if more data reduction needed, more compute overhead tolerated

Advanced Compression Option (ACO)• 2-4x reduction in storage• Faster queries in many cases,

due to improved I/O and memory efficiency

• Better network bandwidth utilization

Snap Manager for Oracle DBManage snapshot copies in the ZFS Storage Appliance

• Allows for quick and efficient backup, restore, cloning and provisioning of application instances

• “Application Aware” Ensures no data loss and consistent backups

• Supports Oracle 10g, 11g, RAC– Currently supports NFS/dNFS and iSCSI protocols– CLI version for multiple client platforms (Solaris, Linux, Windows)

• Database host support includes Solaris, Linux, Windows

• Snapshot types– Hot: Online– Cold: Offline

• Snapshot maintenance– Automated scheduler– Retention policies– Custom Attributed (annotate snapshot with metadata)

• Rollback to a snapshot

ZFS Storage Appliance

Sun Blade 6000 + Ethernet switched NEMs


Network Configuration• NFS protocol over 10GigE network

– NFS integrates file access, file locking, and mount protocols into a single, unified protocol to improve security

– NFS offers the utmost simplicity in attaching storage in Oracle VM virtualization environments over Ethernet.

– NFS on Sun ZFS Storage Appliance scales well to many concurrent I/O threads. This high I/O throughput enables more VM stacks to perform I/O without sacrificing service levels.

– Two 10 GbE interfaces supply plenty of bandwidth to access virtual machine data.

• IB and FC are also available alternatives to this configuration


Oracle VM 3.0

• Storage Connect Framework– Support for Native Storage Services– Share/LUN creation, deletion, expansion– Access Group creation– Allows storage operations to be done via OVM Manager

• OCFS2 1.8 cluster file system– Instant clone support

Storage Connect for ZFSSA

• Current ZFSSA Storage Connect has support for iSCSI and FC LUNS– NFS support to come when OVM adds support in framework– NFS can still be added as a Generic File Server or Generic FC

array


Configuration Best Practices

• Consider a Hybrid approach– Template/VM repositories on iSCSI block LUN

• Takes advantage of OCFS2 cloning for rapid template/OS deployment

– Application data (database, middleware) mounted direct from Guest VM via NFSv3. • Takes advantage of excellent NAS performance of ZFSSA

– EHCC & dNFS for the databases

– Analytics to pinpoint application issues down to the VM and even down to the file

– Snap&Clone on the ZFSSA for rapid Test/Dev rollout

– Avoids issues with Block Alignment on data intensive shares or LUNs
