7 Technology overview 2 Technology overview 2.1 Dell EMC XC Family The Dell EMC XC Family devices are a hyper-converged solution that combines storage, compute, networking, and virtualization into an industry-proven appliance based on an x86 Dell PowerEdge server running Nutanix software. In addition, it is worth noticing the devices are not just off the shelf PowerEdge. The processor, memory, drives, firmware, and BIOS are tailored for Nutanix. By combining the hardware resources from each device into a shared-everything model for simplified operations, improved agility, and greater flexibility, Dell EMC, and Nutanix together deliver simple, cost-effective solutions for enterprise workloads. Nutanix Distributed Storage Fabric (DSF) delivers a unified pool of storage from all nodes across the cluster, using techniques including striping, replication, auto-tiering, error detection, failover, and automatic recovery. The XC Family architecture is a scalable cluster of high-performance appliances each running a standard hypervisor and containing processors, memory, and local storage (consisting of SSD, NVMe, or combination of both drives). The CVM running on each node aggregates the storage resources and make it available to all hosts through a fault tolerant architecture. Each appliance runs virtual machines just like a standard hypervisor host. XC Family architecture 2.2 Dell EMC XC Family architecture Dell EMC XC Family provides a hyper-converged platform that uses Distributed Storage Fabric to share and present local storage to all the virtual machines in the cluster. The general XC Family architecture is shown in Figure 2. 7 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Appliances and XC Core Systems Best Practices Guide A02

8 Technology overview The nodes easily scale without the constraints of traditional storage. DSF virtualizes the storage across all nodes and presents the same to the hypervisor as one large pool of shared storage. The DSF replicates writes synchronously to at least one other XC Family node to ensure cluster resiliency and availability. Local storage for each XC Family node in the architecture is presented as one large pool of shared storage to the hypervisor. Data Locality of an XC Family node can keep compute and storage close together that helps in consistent performance and availability of the data. In addition, DSF virtualizes local storage from all appliances into a unified pool. DSF uses local SSDs and disks from all nodes to store virtual machine data. Virtual machines running on the cluster write data to DSF as if they were writing to shared storage. Dell EMC XC Family offers you choice of hypervisors without being locked-in. The Nutanix CVMs are virtual machines running on AHV hosts. They have direct control of the drives on the AHV hosts. They come preconfigured with modest settings so that you can start using the storage platform without much startup time. 2.3 SAP HANA SAP HANA is an in-memory data platform that is deployable as an on-premise appliance, or in the cloud. It is a revolutionary platform that is best suited for performing real-time analytics and developing and deploying real-time applications. The data is kept in the RAM of one or multiple SAP HANA worker hosts. All database operations (reads, inserts, updates, or deletes) are performed in the main memory of the host. This feature differentiates SAP HANA from traditional databases, where only a part of the data is cached in RAM and the remaining data resides on disk. To ensure that the SAP HANA database can be restored to its most recent committed state, persistent storage is used to provide a fallback if there is failure. 8 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Appliances and XC Core Systems Best Practices Guide A02

9 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Family 3 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Family Dell EMC XC Family supports up to three SAP HANA production VMs on a quad socket XC940 node and one SAP HANA production VM dual socket XC740xd node. The minimum number of recommended nodes for SAP HANA production scenario on a XC Family cluster are 4 nodes (3 active nodes + 1 standby node). This ensures the high availability of HANA VMs during one node failure. In the following sections, we discuss the recommended architecture for SAP HANA systems on Dell EMC XC Family devices. 3.1 Cluster architecture The Dell EMC XC Family cluster for SAP HANA consists of two socket XC740xd nodes or four socket XC940 nodes. Dell EMC recommends a minimum of four nodes and the mixing of two socket and four socket nodes is allowed within a cluster. This approach provides flexibility as you can start small and scale based on your requirements. The cluster architecture shown in Figure 3 consists of a mix of both 2-socket and 4-socket nodes. Here, one XC940 node and two XC740xd nodes were part of active nodes, with one SAP HANA production system per socket. For example, the XC940 node was hosted with three production HANA VMs and the XC740xd node was hosted with one production HANA VM. The fourth node (XC940) was a stand-by node. This node must have equivalent compute resources available to accommodate the SAP HANA VMs during node failure scenarios.

10 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Family Figure 3 represents one of the Dell EMC XC Family cluster configurations that is supported for SAP HANA deployments. The cluster is formed using two XC740xd nodes and two XC940 nodes with 3 active nodes and 1 standby node for HA. Dell EMC representatives are available to assist in sizing and designing the cluster configuration based on customer requirements. 3.2 SAP HANA VM configuration For production HANA systems on Dell EMC XC Family nodes, Dell EMC recommends one HANA VM per socket, considering one dedicated socket for CVM. For a quad socket node, you can host three production HANA VMs per node. For a dual socket node, you can host one production HANA VM per node. For nonproduction HANA systems, you can allocate one HANA VM with half a node socket. You can host three HANA nonproduction VMs on dual socket node and seven host HANA nonproduction VMs on the quad socket node. Figure 3 shows an XC Family cluster configured with five SAP HANA production VMs. Three HANA production VMs are hosted on an XC940 node with one HANA production VM per XC740xd node. Each of these VMs are set with host affinity to meet the above configuration. 3.3 Storage configuration All HANA VM storage was created by allocating number of vdisks (virtual disk) from the cluster storage pool based on the HANA memory size and database storage requirement. This can be performed using Nutanix PRISM VM update option. On each VM, HANA data volume and log volumes were created by adding four vdisks each. LVM is used to create two separate volume groups, each volume group is created using physical volumes. On each of these two volume groups, two logical volumes are created with the stripe size of 64 KB and then mounted to HANA data volumes and HANA log volumes. More details on LVM and volume groups are mentioned in VM recommendation section. 3.4 CPU configuration Dell EMC XC Family is SAP HANA certified for dual sockets and quad sockets CPUs with Intel Xeon Gold processors 6126 or above or Intel Xeon Platinum processors with greater performance. Hyper-threading is a hardware technology on Intel processors that enables a physical processor core to act like two processors. In general, there is a performance advantage of enabling hyper-threading on the newer Intel processors. Dell EMC does not recommend sharing of CPU sockets between SAP HANA production VMs (NUMA node sharing). Dell EMC recommends using only 1 VM deployed on dual socket node (Dell EMC XC740xd) and 3 VMs on quad socket node (Dell EMC XC940). In addition, Dell EMC recommends that you set NUMA node affinity so that all the cores of single socket are entirely allocated to a single VM. 10 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Appliances and XC Core Systems Best Practices Guide A02

11 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Family 3.5 Memory configuration With the NUMA architecture, each processor has its local memory and can also access the non-local memory of the other processors over an advanced memory controller. Even though this is a high-performance connection, access to local memory is always faster than access to the non-local memory of the other processors. The memory is equally divided and assigned to the VM when an XC740xd and the VM gets 50 percent of the memory. With the XC940, the memory is divided to four equal chunks and allocated to three VMs. 3.6 Drives layout The XC940 and XC740xd nodes support 24 drives (mix of SSDs and NVMe drives are supported). Based on the capacity requirement, you can populate the nodes to achieve enough storage. Populate the NVMEs with SSDs to achieve better IO performance. 3.7 Network configuration Dell EMC XC Family supports both 10 GbE and 25 GbE networks for communication between the nodes, with 10 Gbe minimum recommended network configuration. For better performance of SAP HANA systems, you can consider a 25 GbE network with NVMe drives. Dell EMC recommends keeping the same MTU size for all HANA VMs within the XC Family cluster. Mismatch in MTU size between hosts and VM would lead to network instability and communication issues.

12 Best practices and recommendations 4 Best practices and recommendations To deliver the best performance for SAP HANA on hyper-converged infrastructure on production environment, you must verify specific settings and enable certain options. This section provides the best practices for improving the performance of SAP HANA system. 4.1 Prerequisites The following are the prerequisites for a successful SAP HANA solution: Latest version of AHV hypervisor and Nutanix AOS is recommended. Apply operating system level patches and settings for HANA VMs as in the SAP note (SLES). For a supported Operating System for SAP HANA, go to Verify that the XC Family cluster is in healthy state by performing health check option available from Nutanix Prism. Details on health check and performance monitoring can be found in Health check and performance monitoring. 4.2 Design recommendation There are certain parameters for you to consider while designing production SAP HANA systems on the XC Family hyper-converged infrastructure CPU and memory This section outlines the best practices for CPU and memory. Do not assign a socket to any other VMs (or sharing resources) that are allocated to a controller VM. For dual socket node, Dell EMC recommends only 1 VM and for quad socket node, and a maximum of 3 VMs. Dell EMC does not recommend using multiple HANA production VMs sharing the same socket. The memory should be equally divided among the VMs in such a way that it is not shared. Over commitment of memory would affect SAP HANA performance and therefore not recommended. - For XC740xd, half of the total memory available is allocated to a single SAP HANA VM. - For XC940, minimum 1/4th of the total memory available is allocated to a single SAP HANA VM. For production HANA systems, ensure that following guidelines are followed: - For dual socket platform - one VM with one socket worth of CPU and memory - For quad socket platform Maximum three VMs with one socket worth of CPU and memory for each. If there are a fewer number of VMs, then you can assign more cores to the VMs. - Example: 2 VMs on quad core- First VM with 1 socket worth of CPU and memory, second VM with 2 sockets worth of CPU and memory. For non-production HANA systems, configure VMs with half a socket worth of CPU and memory. Note: This might lead to performance degradation. 12 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Appliances and XC Core Systems Best Practices Guide A02

13 Best practices and recommendations Network This section outlines the best practices for networking. SAP HANA network communication must be separated in different logical networks for internode, storage, backup, replication, client, and so on. When selecting and setting up SAP HANA production systems, follow the SAP HANA networking recommendations as described in SAP HANA Network Requirements, which involves ensuring the availability of enough physical and virtual network interfaces. Based on the SAP HANA production environment requirement, adequate VM network interfaces should be configured for the various logical network configurations. These network requirements can be met using Dell EMC XC Family by configuring the nodes with adequate number of physical network interfaces. Refer the Dell EMC XC Family data sheet for more details. For Dell EMC XC Family networking best practices see Storage This section outlines the best practices for storage. For sizing the usable storage on Dell EMC XC Family clusters, Dell EMC recommends the following: - Use the SAP Quick Sizer tool to determine the required capacity for the SAP HANA data and log devices. If the sizing details are not available, Dell EMC recommends configuring the usable storage size based on SAP HANA database memory footprint. The usable storage space available is recommended to be 4 * the SAP HANA database memory footprint. For more details on sizing, see the latest available SAP note on HANA sizing consideration High availability The minimum number of nodes that are recommended for SAP HANA cluster with production systems are 4 nodes (3 active and 1 standby) to achieve high availability for the VMs. Nutanix recommends planning for failover capacity in the form of N+1. Dell EMC recommends following the steps in the Prism Web Console Guide to configure the cluster for high availability Additional settings Dell EMC does not recommend enabling core data service features like compression, deduplication, and EC- X on the storage container that holds the production database. To ensure maximum performance and availability, adjust the following hypervisor settings: 1. To allow for energy saving when a CPU is idle, you can instruct the CPU to enter a low-power mode. There are various power modes available to each CPU; the various power modes are referred to as "C-states. Nutanix recommends disabling C-states 3 and To disable these modes automatically, run the following commands from one of the controller VMs: hostssh chkconfig --add cstate hostssh service cstate start 13 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Appliances and XC Core Systems Best Practices Guide A02

14 Best practices and recommendations 4.3 VM recommendation The virtual machine recommendations are as follows: Use minimum 4 vdisks to create HANA data volumes and HANA log volumes respectively. Make sure that you have used the supported file system as described in SAP note Use of the Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is fully supported by SAP, as described in SAP note Both HANA data volume and HANA log volume should be using separate LVM volume group with the striping done using all physical volume in that volume group. To create the respective file system, follow these steps: 3. Create log, data, and shared volume groups for SAP HANA: vgcreate hanalog /dev/sd{b,c,d,e} vgcreate hanadata /dev/sd{f,g,h,i} vgcreate hanashared /dev/sdj 4. Create logical volumes for log and data striped across 4 vdisks with 64K stripe size and readahead= none. Use all logical extents of a volume group for the logical volumes: lvcreate -i 4 -I 64K -l <LogicalExtentsNumber> -r none -n vol hanalog lvcreate -i 4 -I 64K -l <LogicalExtentsNumber> -r none -n vol hanadata lvcreate l <LogicalExtentsNumber> -r none -n vol hanashared 5. Create XFS file systems on the log and data volumes mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/hanalog-vol mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper hanadata-vol mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper hanashared-vol 6. Create mount points /hana/log, /hana/data and /hana/shared mkdir -p /hana/{log,data,shared} 7. When creating the virtual machine, ensure that the following settings are in place: a. VM NUMA affinity can be set by running the following acli command from host CVM, and ensure the VMs are powered off before running this command: acli vm.update <vm name> num_vnuma_nodes=<number of virtual sockets> Example: acli vm.update SAP-HANA num_vnuma_nodes=1 b. Memory allocation to the VMs can be changed either updating VMs from Nutanix Prism or from CVM acli. acli vm.update <vm name> memory=<memory size> 8. Power on the VM on host using: vm.on <vm_name> host=<hypervisor/host IP> 14 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Appliances and XC Core Systems Best Practices Guide A02

15 Best practices and recommendations Once NUMA node affinity is set and memory is assigned, the details can be verified by running following command from respective AHV host. ~]# numastat qemu-kvm Example of 2 sockets node with NUMA node affinity set for HANA VM - Per-node process memory usage (in MBs) PID Node 0 Node 1 Total (qemu-kvm) (qemu-kvm) Total Enable the VM metrics host daemon as described in SAP note After installation of SAP HANA max_parallel_io_requests for Data and log can be set by running the following command: su - <sidadm> hdbparam --show hdbparam --paramset fileio.max_parallel_io_requests=256 Up to HANA1SP12, the hdbparam tool was part of the HANA installation and was used to manage a subset of HANA configuration parameters. Starting with SAP HANA 2.0, the hdbparam command-line tool has been deprecated. Instead, the parameters are defined as normal parameters in global.ini. Set the parameter as follows in the global.ini file: max_parallel_io_requests[data]=256 max_parallel_io_requests[log]=256 For more information, see SAP Note : Elimination of hdbparam in HANA SAP HANA sizing considerations With SAP HANA Tailored Datacenter Integration (TDI) phase 5, SAP introduced customer-workload-driven SAP HANA system sizing. With this new sizing, SAP application performance standard (SAPS) requirements for specific customer workloads are used to determine the type and number of processors that are required to run SAP HANA. You can use the SAP HANA Quick Sizer tool and sizing reports and share the results with Dell EMC to determine the optimal number of Dell EMC XC Family nodes, CPU types, and memory sizes for their SAP HANA environment. 4.5 Health check and performance monitoring Health check Dell EMC highly recommends keeping the cluster in a healthy state by regularly performing NCC health check option available from Nutanix PRISM or running the following command from a Host CVM nutanix@ntnx-xxx:~$ ncc health_checks run_all The Health dashboard displays dynamically updated health information about VMs, hosts, and disks in the cluster. 15 SAP HANA on Dell EMC XC Appliances and XC Core Systems Best Practices Guide A02
