2 UCS Supported Storage Architectures and Best Practices with Storage

3 First Things First: Debunking a Myth Today (June 2012 UCS 2.01x) there is no FCoE northbound of UCS unless you really, really, really want to That s right, there is no FCoE on external Ethernet uplinks by default In other words, FCoE is used only at the access layer (Server to Fabric Interconnect) in a totally transparent manner You don t need to know anything about FCoE to understand how storage works with UCS Everything works as usual. Servers have HBAs that FLOGI into the SAN fabric, you use zoning and LUN masking just like you do with rackmounts today UCS release 1.4 introduced support for Direct Connect FCoE targets Today, this is the only case where you ll see FCoE traffic You ll have to go through explicit configuration steps to make this happen 3

4 Exec Summary: UCS 1.4 Storage Features New Direct Connect Topologies Introduced Allows lower cost point for small UCS Pod like deployments Remote Location scenarios Use of FCoE Storage Targets with UCS FC Port Channeling and VSAN Trunking More flexibility in engineering FC traffic vs. 1 VSAN per uplink Aggregate Uplinks transparent to host Multi-path drivers Requires MDS or N5K to Work (both features) 4

5 Exec Summary: UCS 2.0 Storage Features iscsi Boot Support Integrated boot policies, stateless support iscsi HBA modeling (identifiers, equipment view, etc) M81KR (Palo) and Broadcom Support Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Monitoring without an OS agent Use of LSI interfaces and exposed metrics 5

7 Introduction of Converged Network Adapters CNAs and Port WWNs Considerations

8 Unified Fabric with FCoE CNA: Converged Network Adapter Nexus Edge participates in both distinct FC and IP Core topologies CNA presents multiple PCI addresses to the Operating System (OS) OS loads two unique sets of drivers and manages two unique application topologies Server participates in both topologies since it has two stacks and thus two views of the same unified wire Host FC Multi-Pathing driver provides failover between two fabrics (SAN A and SAN B ) UCS hardware based Fabric Failover (preferred) or OS NIC Teaming provides Ethernet traffic failover FCF Unified Wire shared by both FC and IP topologies Ethernet Driver bound to Ethernet NIC PCI address 10GbE Ethernet Drivers Fibre Channel 10GbE Link PCIe Operating System Ethernet Fibre Channel Drivers FCF Nexus Unified Edge supports both FC and IP topologies FC Driver bound to FC HBA PCI address 8

9 CNA: Converged Network Adapter Operating System View Emulex / Qlogic Standard drivers Same management Operating System sees: N port or Dual port (depending on hardware) 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter N port or Dual Port (depending on hardware) Fibre Channel HBAs 9 9

10 CNA: Converged Network Adapter Operating System View Cisco M81KR (Palo) Standard drivers Same management Operating System sees: N port or Dual port (depending on hardware) 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter N port or Dual Port (depending on hardware) Fibre Channel HBAs 10

11 vhbas: WWN Assignment WWN assignment: just like Ethernet MAC addresses Either inherited from burnt-in WWN (not with M81KR!) Or manually set Or borrowed from a pool (recommended) Up to two HBAs (called vhbas) per server with non-m81kr CNAs Backplane path failover does not exist for HBAs! A vhba either goes through switch A or B at any given time OS-level multipathing provides path resiliency Same dynamic pinning concept as with 10GE NICs Manual override allowed by using SAN pin-groups 11

12 A word on World-Wide Name Formats Avoid interop issues by choosing IEEE Extended Type 2 WW Names inside pools: Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 2 0:00 00:25:B5 XX:XX:XX Section 1 identifies the WWN as an extended format WWN Section 2 is a vendor specific code and can be used to identify specific ports on a node or to extend the serial number (section 4) of the WWN Section 3 identifies the vendor (00:25:B5 = Cisco) Section 4 is the serial number for the device 12

13 Best Practice for WWN Pools Cisco MDS switches will not let just any random port WWN FLOGI! Diagnostic is not trivial. If your vfc (server-side) interface does not come up, check for malformed WWNs on the upstream MDS using show flogi internal eventhistory errors Event:E_DEBUG, length:146, at usecs after Fri Sep 4 17:55: [102] Err(NAA=5 and IEEE Company ID is zero)invalid node name 50:00:00:00:00:00:00:07 from interface fc1/9; nport name is 20:00:00:00:00:00:04:02. As stated on the previous slide, prefer IEEE Type 2 WWNs 13

14 Quick Tip How Do I Determine My Port WWNs? Determine the server s pwwn Assigned through the service profile Verify on the host it will match: Check local FLOGI for that pwwn on UCS and MDS: On Windows, use free fcinfo.exe utility 14

15 Fabric Interconnects Modes of Operation

16 What is NPV? N-Port Virtualizer (NPV) utilizes NPIV functionality to allow a switch to act like a server performing multiple logins through a single physical link Physical servers connected to the NPV switch login to the upstream NPIV core switch Physical uplink from NPV switch to FC NPIV core switch does actual FLOGI Subsequent logins are converted (proxy) to FDISC to login to upstream FC switch No local switching is done on an FC switch in NPV mode FC edge switch in NPV mode Does not take up a domain ID UCS Fabric Interconnect FC NPIV Core Switch F-Port Eth1/1 Server1 N_Port_ID 1 NP-Port F-Port Eth1/2 Server2 N_Port_ID 2 F_Port Eth1/3 Server3 N_Port_ID 3 N-Port 16

17 N-Port Virtualization (NPV) Mode UCS FI works in NPV mode by default Server-facing ports are regular F ports Uplinks toward SAN core fabric are NP ports UCS distributes (relays) FCIDs to attached devices No domain ID to maintain locally Zoning, FSPF, DPVM, etc are not configured on the UCS Fabrics Domain Mgr, FSPF, Zone Server, Fabric Login Server, Name Server They do not run on UCS Fabrics No local switching All FC traffic routed via the core SAN switches 17

18 N-Port Virtualization (NPV): An Overview 1) FI FLOGIs to NPV Core 2) Server FLOGIs to FI 3) NPV Converts Server FLOGIs to FDISCs NPV-Core Switch (MDS or 3 rd party switch with NPIV support) FC F-port NP-port F-ports N-ports chassis chassis chassis Can have multiple uplinks one VSAN per uplink Two uplinks can be in the same VSAN Port channel or trunking optional UCS FI A & B Relays FCIDs to servers no domain ID to configure on UCS! Servers log in (FLOGI) locally 18

19 NPV: Internal Logins (FLOGIs) When an NP port comes up, UCS itself first FLOGIs into the core Pod UCS rtp-6100-a F VSAN 100 NP fc2/1 P1 P2 fwwn of Port P1 19

20 NPV: Logins from Servers (FDISCs) Server HBAs log into the npv-core as follows: Pod F P1 UCS rtp-6100-a VSAN 100 NP fc2/1 vfc688 P2 F P3 fwwn of Port P2 fwwn of Port P1 N P4 Server 1/3 NPV converts FLOGI to FDISC CSCO8000 FCID 0xe

21 UCS Storage Defaults and Recommendations for FC Default (recommended) - N_Port Virtualization (NPV) Mode End Host Mode for FC, UCS functions as Node Port (initiator) Small to Large Scale Deployments of homogeneous or heterogeneous operating systems Extensive interoperability with SAN and array ecosystem Option - FC Switching Mode UCS FI has limited FC switching features, No Zoning Configuration Must still have upstream MDS or Nexus FC switch via FC Uplink Direct Connect from Fabric Interconnect to Storage Array FC target Designed for POD or Small scale Limited interoperability with Storage ecosystem 21

22 UCS Storage Defaults and Recommendations for FCoE Default FCoE Traffic is internal to UCS system (blade to Fabric Interconnect) FCoE packets are terminated at the fabric interconnect, no northbound FCoE packets transmitted from UCS Options FC Switching Mode UCS FI has limited FC switching features, no zoning configuration Must still have upstream MDS or Nexus FC switch via FC Uplink Direct Connect from Fabric Interconnect to Storage Array(s) FCoE target Use of FCoE Storage Targets with UCS Limited interoperability with Storage ecosystem 22

23 UCS Storage Defaults and Recommendations for NAS Default (recommended) - End Host Mode Superior traffic engineering - Native L2 multipathing; no spanning-tree Easier integration into network 1.4 Introduced Appliance Ports which allow direct connect NAS filers Options - Ethernet Switching Mode As of 1.4 no storage based reasons to use this mode Previous releases required switching mode for direct connect NAS 23

24 UCS Connectivity Summary LAN CLOUD SAN Switch Upstream Switch in NPIV Mode FC STORAGE NAS STORAGE LAN Switch UCS Ethernet in EHM UCS FC in NPV Mode UCS Fabric Interconnect Access Layer LAN & SAN Unified Fabric (FCoE) 24

25 Upstream Connectivity SAN Uplinks, Port Channels and Trunks

26 FC Uplink VSAN Membership Default SAN integration is very straightforward: Connect UCS to external SAN switch (MDS / Brocade) Make FC uplink member of one and only one VSAN No F_Port or NP_Port trunking by default 26

27 FC Port Trunking (Multiple VSANs per Link) Provide isolation to SAN traffic over the same physical FC link Help consolidate FC infrastructure vhbas can be on different VSANs Uplink FC ports will be in NPV mode (N- Port) by default All VSANs will be trunked on every uplink FC port vfcs Selecting a subset of VSANs for individual uplink ports not supported Scalability: Max of 32 VSANs per UCS system VSAN trunking supported in FC switch mode as well VSAN 100 VSAN 200 VSAN 300 VSAN 400 VSAN Trunking is not available for direct connect FC (or FCoE) Storage Port types SAN A SAN B 27

28 FC Port Channels Aggregate and maximize available bandwidth while maintaining isolation Increases resiliency and guard against port failures Up to 16 FC ports can be aggregated together for a single port channel Different combination of FC ports from different expansion modules on the FI can be placed on the same port channel vfcs In case of port speed mismatch port channel forces port speed to highest commonly supported speed VSANs can be trunked over the port channel Port Channel VSAN 100 VSAN 200 VSAN 300 VSAN trunking and port channel supported for both NPV and switch mode FI operation FC Port channeling is not available for direct connect FC Storage Port types SAN A SAN B VSAN

29 How FC Trunking is Enabled (Global) Global Setting for both FIs Default is Not enabled 29

30 Creation and Management of FC Port Channels 30

31 FC Port Channeling Requirements and Defaults Must activate the channel (like Ethernet) Can work in NPV or FC switch mode MDS and N5K only Load Balancing algorithm same as N5K Load balancing is based on the source ID, destination ID, and exchange ID (OX ID). Storage FC ports cannot be channeled or trunked SJ2-151-B26-A(nxos)# show interface fc 2/1 fc2/1 is up Hardware is Fibre Channel, SFP is short wave laser w/o OFC (SN) Port WWN is 20:41:00:05:73:a2:b3:00 Admin port mode is F, trunk mode is off 31

32 FC Port Channel and Trunking Interoperability Caveats If the UCS system has VSAN configured in the range of and an attempt is made to enable Port Channel or Trunk, a dialog will indicate configured VSANs in that range will go disabled. This is due to those VSANs being reserved starting with NX-OS 4.1 in order to support port-channel/trunk features. This will cause those VSANs to stop switching traffic on those VSANs. NOTE: MDS and UCS FI restricted VSAN ranges are not identical. 32

33 Fabric Interconnects FC and Direct Storage Connectivity Options

34 FC SAN Boot Create Service Profile Configure Storage (simple or expert) Create vhba s (1, 2, or more (M81KR)) Assign Initiator WWPN (manual or pool) Assign VSAN to vhba s Assign vhba Placement Select or Create Boot Policy Assign Target WWPN and LUNID Associate Server Zone Mask Boot to vmedia Install Drivers and OS 34

35 Enable Direct Connection of FC/FCOE Storage Customer benefits Support to directly connect FC/ FCoE storage to 6100 End to end FCoE topologies possible Lower cost point for small deployments (no access layer FC switches) FCoE Storage FC Storage Feature details Support for NetApp and EMC direct attached storage Ability to turn On/Off Fibre Channel switching mode Zoning configuration not exposed with UCS Manager Zoning must be inherited from upstream switch Ethernet and FC switching modes are independent UCS 6100 UCS 6100 UCS B-Series 35

36 Key Considerations of FC Direct Connect. No FC Zoning without upstream connection to MDS or N5K Upstream MDS/N5K allows zoneset merges but no zoning configuration exposed on UCS Software. As of April 2011 Cisco requires the use of upstream MDS/N5K to allow zoneset merges External SAN Management Software N5K MIBs are all exposed but READ ONLY 6xxx can be added to Fabric Manager (FM) but the manageability through FM is limited 36

37 UCS Direct Connect Storage Three UCS port types related to direct storage capability Storage FC Port direct connect this port to FC port on array Storage FCoE Port direct connect this port to FCoE port on array Appliance Port - direct connect this port to 10G Ethernet port on array 37

38 UCS Manager View of New Ports 38

39 Port Types vs. FI Operating Mode (Green Means Valid in Mode of Operation) 39

40 Hybrid Topology with Direct-Attach and SAN SAN Fabric Storage Arrays Fibre Channel Direct Attach Fabric A Core Fabric B Ethernet Unified I/O FC Storage FCoE Storage FCoE SAN Edge A SAN Edge B Security via Zoneset Merge UCS 6100 UCS 6100 AND Security via LUN Masking LUN Masking Always Used to Some Extent UCS B-Series 40

41 Unsupported Storage Topologies in UCS As of June 2012 Direct connect without zoning (no upstream MDS/N5K) Multi-Hop FCoE or FCoE northbound on Ethernet Uplinks 6100 to N5K for FC to FCoE bridging is still valid with 1.4 in NPV mode FC connections between the two Fabric Interconnects running in FC switch mode (ISL) Connecting any other L2 based object off of the Appliance Ports Untested, unsupported until further notice 41

42 How to Place FI into FC Switching Mode This operation results in both FIs going into reboot cycles which takes 15 min or so, system wide downtime, by design When FC switch mode is turned on, all the FC ports come up in TE mode 42

43 Configuring an FC Storage Port To connect an FC storage device directly into one of the 6100 s FC port, the user must configure the port as an FC storage port The VSAN is configured under the Storage Cloud object Internally, the port is configured as follows: As a F_Port As an access port The speed is kept as auto The user is also allowed to select a named VSAN for that port. 43

44 Configuring an FC Storage Port (GUI) 44

45 Configuring a VSAN on an FC Port (GUI) 45

46 Configuring an FCoE Storage Port (GUI) 46

47 Configuring an FCoE Storage Port (Cont.) Since the Ethernet port is configured as trunk, a native VLAN must be configured on that port. The FCoE VLAN ID can not be the same as the native VLAN ID User is not requested to provide a native VLAN value. An arbitrary VLAN (4048) was chosen and is always used as the native VLAN for FCoE storage ports unless changed 47

48 FCoE Port Must Be Assigned to a VSAN 48

49 IP-based Storage Appliance Ports and iscsi

50 UCS Manager Appliance Ports What is an Ethernet Appliance A specialized device for use on a Ethernet network, for example Network Attached Storage, iscsi, security appliances, Nexus 1010 What qualifies to be an appliance An Appliance is a specialized external host, does not run STP (today only NetApp and EMC IP storage devices qualified) Purpose of Appliance Port Connect Ethernet appliances only! Do Not to use this port type for switch connectivity to avoid traffic loops 50

51 Appliance Ports How to Configure 51

52 Appliance Port Exposed Settings QoS per port settings, normal UCS QoS constructs Manual (static) pinning using pin groups for border port selection Select which VLANs can traverse this port Optionally specify the destination MAC address of the filer. Some Filers do not broadcast their MAC address 52

53 VLANs and Appliance Ports Similar to VSAN concept, there are two scopes Traditional, LAN Cloud Appliance Cloud with scope restricted to appliance ports and associated VLANs Use the same VLAN ID in both scopes 53

54 Appliance Ports Have Uplink Ports Appliance ports like server ports have an uplink or border port assigned either via static or dynamic pinning Loss of last uplink port will result in the appliance port being taken down in UCS Same behavior as current network control policy 54

55 Storage Controller Ethernet Port High Availability Both NetApp and EMC have similar technologies for aggregating ports on their controllers and providing failure handling. An In-depth comparison of these technologies is beyond the scope of this document Storage Vendor documentation should be consulted for details of their feature set It is important to understand the core behavior of these technologies as they relate to UCS Appliance Ports in failure cases For additional information: 55

56 Storage Vendor Ethernet Port Aggregation and Failover Terminology EMC Fail Safe Network (FSN), layered availability of interfaces UCS needs active/passive Member links can be individual links or consist of port channels Etherchannel is Port channel but ON only Link Aggregation is LACP based NetApp Multi-Level Virtual Interface (VIF) interface groups UCS needs active/passive Member links can be individual links or consist of port channels Multi-mode Static is Port channel but ON only Multi-mode dynamic is LACP based. 56

57 iscsi Boot 1.3: Not supported 1.4: Supported via manual configuration of Adapter Broadcom Mezzanine Card Only Not productized to any extent by UCSM Not stateless, user configures manually, and UCS Manager is totally unaware of changes to mezzanine card configuration. 2.0 (June/July 2011) Fully Supported in UCS Manager Fully productized by UCS Manager boot polices Support for Broadcom and Cisco M81KR VIC 57

58 iscsi Feature Overview Primary purpose is to support booting via iscsi iscsi Hardware Offload is not a requirement to support booting, only supporting iscsi Boot Firmware Table (ibft) in the option ROM First release that UCS manager represents an iscsi device in the model and GUI New object called an iscsi vnic is created as a child object to the standard parent vnic New pools and policies to support iscsi vnic attributes in the LAN tab 58

59 iscsi Boot Flow Create iscsi vnics Create iscsi boot policy Provide UCSM with iscsi boot information Target ip, iqn Initiator ip/mask/gw, iqn vmedia map the OS and drivers Adapter successfully initializes Install OS and Drivers (if required) 59

60 iscsi and Appliance Port Redundancy Host Multi-pathing drivers are used in lieu of link aggregation network technology MS does not support using s/w iscsi and port channels for iscsi failover Best practice is to use MPIO drivers Failure semantics look like FC in this regard 60

61 Storage Vendor Support UCS 1.4 Direct Connect only support EMC and NetApp for all topologies (FC, FCoE, NAS) We may add more vendors as a function of time given business case justifications iscsi Boot will only support EMC and NetApp Arrays We may add more vendors as a function of time given business case justifications Please Consult the these resources B_rel2.02.pdf 61

62 Useful Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Commands

63 Troubleshooting (Inconsistent Interface) What if a port is configured as a FC/FCoE storage port but the FC mode is end-host? An error message pops up in the GUI (See next slide) The interface is created but its configstate property is set to Inconsistent. The admin state of the associated physical port is also disabled. The interface gets out of this state automatically (its configstate is changed to Applied ) if the mode is changed to FC switch. 63

66 Useful Troubleshooting CLI in FC Switch Mode 66

67 Check on Zoneset Merge (Hybrid Topology) Checking that the zoning configuration has been merged There is no GUI equivalent to sh zoneset active. You need to run an NXOS CLI: Panther-A(nxos)# show zoneset active vsan 300 zoneset name fabric-a-panther vsan 300 zone name ls1-netapp1-4b vsan 300 pwwn 50:0a:09:83:97:b9:4c:e4 pwwn 20:01:00:25:b5:71:a0:01 zone name ls1-netapp2-4b vsan 300 * fcid 0x [pwwn 50:0a:09:83:87:b9:4c:e4] pwwn 20:01:00:25:b5:71:a0:01 zone name ls2-netapp1-4b vsan 300 pwwn 50:0a:09:83:97:b9:4c:e4 * fcid 0x [pwwn 20:01:00:25:b5:71:a0:02] 67
