Storage Pool

BeforeAfter Relocating.. .• The 256MB slices are relocated according to

both the rank order and the tiering policy

• Policy Engine triggers an automatic relocation– Moves hot data to higher tiers, cold data to

lower tiers, or follow the corresponding tiering policy

• Ensures that the higher performing drives are used first

– Keeps 10% of the space in all tiers free

• Relocation Schedule:– User defined relocation window

– Defines how long the window will be open for the array to start data relocation on the participating storage pools

– User defines relocation rate

– Controls performance impact

– Can be arranged to take place during off-hours to minimize any adverse performance impact

– Start Time (Increments of 15 minutes)

– End Time (Increments of 15 minutes)

• Large-capacity, array-wide secondary cache– Benefits the entire system– Continuously ensures that the hottest data is served

from Flash drives– Enabled at the Storage Pool level– Caches data at 64KB page granularity

• Positioned between:– Storage Processor’s DRAM-based primary cache– Hard-Disk Drives (HDD)

• Increased storage capacity compared to DRAM

• Less latency compared to HDD

• Multicore FAST Cache tasks can scale to multiple CPU cores

Multicore FAST Cache– Random I/O– I/O smaller than 64KB


• Permanent Sparing– Any unused drive is a possible spare

• No Hot Spare creation is necessary or possible

– Spares become a permanent part of the RAID Group• Equalize operations no longer occur

– Recommended Hot Sparing policy• 1 spare per 30 (enforced by system)

– Exception: A single 12 drive DPE configuration

• Portable Drives– Drives can be relocated between buses, enclosures, etc.

• Each physical drive is identified as a Physical Virtual Drive (PVD) • VNXe3200 keeps track of PVDs by their serial numbers

– 5 minute timeout before spare invoked– Used for bus balancing– Remove whole RAID groups for longer periods (as long as Drives are returned to array)

RAID Group– 3 Hot Sparing policies:

▪ Recommended▪ No Hot Spares▪ Custom

Bus 2, Enclosure 0

Bus 0, Enclosure 0

RAID group 1

RAID group 2VAULT

Bus 0, Enclosure 0

RAID group 2VAULT

Portable Drives– 5-Minute timeout before hot spare is invoked– Drives or data on drives can be relocated to

different busses and/or shelves

VNX Modular Architecture—Pools

Virtual Blended Storage Pool

• Block services provided by VNX Storage Processor

• Tiered storage– Choose storage tiers

• Extreme Performance (Flash), Performance (SAS), Capacity (NL-SAS)

– Choose protection per tier (RAID 1/0, 5, 6)

• Each Tier within a pool has a single RAID type

• Raid 5 – 4+1 or 8+1• Raid 6 – 6+2 or 14+2

– System builds RAID groups

• Tiers are aggregated into virtual blended storage pool

E F F I C I E N C Y


VNX Modular Architecture—LUNs and File Systems• LUNs are simply built from the

Virtual Pool with 256MB granularity

• LUNs can be shared to block connected Hosts (FC, iSCSI, FCoE)

• File services added

• LUNs are configured for file and consumed by Data Mover

• File systems optimally built via Automated Volume Management and shared via NFS or CIFS

Advanced pool optimization functionalityAutomatic Data Relocation Within A Tier

1. Storage Pool Rebalancing after pool expansion– Improves pool performance by balancing data across

all drives in pool▪ Re-distributes data across private RAID groups to

avoid hot spots▪ Allows users to expand pool capacity in small

increments

2. Load balancing within a tier– Relocates within tier, based on activity level– Occurs as part of FAST VP relocation

▪ During user-defined tiering relocation window

– “No Data Movement” tiering policy WILL allow load balance within a tier

FAST Cache Process Page requests satisfied from DRAM if

available

If not, FAST Cache driver checks map to determine where page is located

Page request satisfied from disk drive if not in FAST Cache

Policy Engine copies the page to FAST Cache if it is being used frequently

Subsequent requests for this page satisfied from FAST Cache

Dirty pages are copied back to disk drives as background activity

FAST Cache Configuration• FAST Cache supported for all VNX platforms

– Applicable to VNX for File and VNX for Block

• Highly scalable– Up to 4.2 TB FAST Cache – Supports Reads and Writes

• Applies to classic LUNs and pool LUNs– Thick and Thin pool LUNs

• A system-wide resource that benefits many workloads– Host application data: OLTP – Oracle + Microsoft SQL, VMware, etc.– Array-based data services: Snapshots, etc.

• Easy configuration in Unisphere

VNX Block Deduplication• Deduplication of data at 8KB

granularity– Deduplicated LUNs are Thin LUNs

• Settable per pool LUN– Thick, Thin and Deduplicated LUNs

supported in a single pool

• Freed up blocks/slices are available for re-use within storage pool

• Deduplication occurs out of band to minimize I/O impact

What Drives Investment in Protection?

More information to protect, harder to restore

quickly

Protection is not a revenue-generating

investment

More of the organization is reliant

on IT

SITE OPTIONS

Leverage secondary site infrastructure

How RecoverPoint Works1. Production data

written to storage

3. Writes are acknowledged back to the application from RecoverPoint, which are responsible for:

• De-duplication and compression• Monitoring and management

4. Data is sequenced, check-summed, de-duplicated, compressed, and replicated to the remote RecoverPoint over IP or Fibre Channel

5. Data is received, uncompressed, inflated, sequenced, and check-summed

r A r Cr B

6. Data written to the journal volume

Journal volume

2. VNX splitter intercepts write IO and sends a copy to LUN and to RecoverPoint
