HP 3PAR Adaptive Optimization configuration• Configurable directly from the 3PAR Management

Console or from the CLI.

• HP 3PAR Adaptive Optimization policies can be

configured to measure only a specific period of time

during the day or week and the data movement can

be scheduled out of hours

• 3 algorithms available to optimize for performance,

cost savings or balanced between the two

• IO density reports available natively in the 3PAR

Management Console. These reports can be used to

determine in advance if the IO density of an

application would benefit from the use of tiering.

Peer Persistence

• RC sync is configured between the two 3PAR arrays

• the ESX host will be running ALUA (persona 11) which will make storage have an active path (primary 3PAR) and a passive path (secondary 3PAR) to the ESX host

• Creation of RC volumes on secondary site happens automatically

• RC volumes will have same WWN• if the primary 3PAR dies, you will have to do a RC

switchover to the secondary 3PAR for the passive path to become active

HP 3PAR Thin Persistence in Microsoft Environments

With Windows 2003 and 2008• Zero unused space in a volume with

−sdelete− fsutil

Introduced with Windows 2012• Active Thin Reclamation with T10 UNMAP

− detects/identifies thinly provisioned virtual disks

− notifies administrator when storage thresholds are met

− UNMAP - returns storage when no longer needed

Host management will report thin provisioning


Key Windows Server 2012 storage features/requirementsWindows Server 2012 Certification

•“Must have” for all products•OS certification automatically includes Hyper-V certification

MSFT Thin Provisioning

•MSFT solution• detects/identifies thinly provisioned virtual disks• notifies administrator when storage thresholds are met• UNMAP - returns storage when no longer needed

•MSFT requires UNMAP and SBC3 (T10 std) enablement to pass ThP certification

ODX (Offload Data Transfer)

•Enables protocol and transport agnostic, storage subsystem assisted data transfer•HPSD targeting “lead with” enterprise arrays for ODX support

Storage Management via OS

•Integrated in the OS; optimal for Small to Medium Businesses •SNIA Standards based (SMI-S) providers need to support Lifecycle Indications (auto updates “device info” cache in OS); without Lifecycle Indications, cache can be stale and would need to be refreshed either manually or via the 24 hour auto cycle

Failover Clustering• Scale: OS supports 64 nodes • Support level dependent on array market

SMB 3 (Server Message Block)

• Hyper-V support for SMB file storage; transparent failover, bandwidth improvements, support for RDMA NIC’s

Storage Spaces

•Optional certification for JBOD’s (SATA, SAS, USB, Not supported for Fibre Channel or iSCSI)•Introduces Storage Pools concept; supports multi-tenancy mirroring or parity, clustering, ThP


ODX allows Hyper-V and OS to move storage faster and more efficiently

Offloaded Data Transfer - ODX

Enables protocol and transport agnostic, cross-machine storage subsystem assisted data transfer

Practically eliminates load on the server, enables a significant reduction in the load on the transport network, and presents an opportunity for innovation for the storage subsystem.

Used for VM Migration, VM Instantiation, General Bulk Data Movement (such as Large Database Files, HD Video, etc.)

Offloaded Data Transfer - Advantages

No application-specific transport bottleneck

Host minimally impacted by shuffling of bits

Host and transport network (SAN) offloaded

Storage systems can provide innovation and further improve experience

Time required for data movement can be significantly reduced or even eliminated

Minimal (if any) changes required to apps

No changes to OS security model - can leverage existing policies and administration practices
