This document proides you with introductory and planning information for the IBM System Storage TS7650 ProtecTIER Deduplication Appliance (TS7650 Appliance). Use this document to: Gain an understanding of the basic features and capabilities of the TS7650 Appliance Plan for the installation of the TS7650 Appliance at your site Technical changes occurring in this edition are identified with a ertical bar ( )in the left margin of the page. This section lists definitions for terms used in this document. TS7650 When used alone, this term signifies IBM's family of irtualization solutions that operate on the ProtecTIER platform. TS7650 Appliance or appliance These are terms for IBM's self-contained irtualization solution from the TS7650 family that includes a disk storage repository. The TS7650 Appliance consists of the following: Serer The 3958 AP1 serer is based on the IBM System x3850 X5 Type 7145-AC1 at the ProtecTIER ersion 3.1 release. When used as a serer in the TS7650 Appliance, its machine type and model are 3958 AP1. Use this machine type and model for serice purposes. System console The system console is a TS3000 System Console (TSSC). This document uses the terms system console and TSSC interchangeably. Disk controller The disk controller for the TS7650 Appliance is an IBM Feature Code 3708: 4.8 TB Fibre Channel Disk Controller. Use this feature code for serice purposes. Disk expansion unit The disk expansion unit for the TS7650 Appliance is an IBM Feature Code 3707: 4.8 TB Fibre Channel Disk Expansion Unit. Use this feature code for serice purposes. OpenStorage OpenStorage allows ProtecTIER to be integrated with NetBackup to proide the means for backup-to-disk without using a irtual tape library (VTL) emulation. Using a plug-in that is installed on an OpenStorage-enabled media serer, ProtecTIER can implement a communication protocol that supports data transfer and control between the backup serer and the ProtecTIER serer. Therefore, to support the plug-in, ProtecTIER implements a storage serer emulation. Copyright IBM Corp x

18 replication A process that transfers logical objects like cartridges from one ProtecTIER repository to another. The replication function allows ProtecTIER deployment to be distributed across sites. Each site has a single or clustered ProtecTIER enironment. Each ProtecTIER enironment has at least one ProtecTIER serer. The ProtecTIER serer that is a part of the replication grid has two dedicated replication ports that are used for replication. Replication ports are connected to the customer's WAN and are configured on two subnets as default. replication grid A set of repositories that share a common ID and can potentially transmit and receie logical objects through replication. A replication grid defines a set of ProtecTIER repositories and actions between them and is configured using the ProtecTIER Replication Manager. The ProtecTIER Replication Manager is a software component that is installed on a ProtecTIER serer or a dedicated host. The ProtecTIER Replication Manager should be able to recognize all the members of the entire network the ProtecTIER Replication Manager handles on both replication subnets. The ProtecTIER Replication Manager is deployed separately from the ProtecTIER Manager on the customer's ProtecTIER serer. The ProtecTIER Replication Manager manages the configuration of multiple replication grids in an organization. An agent on eery node in each ProtecTIER serer interacts with the serer and maintains a table of its grid members. replication grid ID A number from 0 to 63 that identifies a replication grid within an organization. replication grid member A repository that is a member in a replication grid. replication pairs Two repositories within a replication grid that replicate from one to another. replication policy A policy made up of rules that define a set of objects (for example, VTL cartridges) from a source repository to be replicated to a target repository. repository unique ID (RID) A number that uniquely identifies the repository. The RID is created from the replication grid ID and the repository internal ID in the grid. replication timeframe A scheduled period of time for replication to take place for all policies. shelf A container of VTL cartridges within a ProtecTIER repository. irtual tape library (VTL) The ProtecTIER irtual tape library (VTL) serice emulates traditional tape libraries. By emulating tape libraries, ProtecTIER VTL enables you to transition to disk backup without haing to replace your entire backup enironment. Your existing backup application can access irtual robots to moe irtual cartridges between irtual slots and dries. The backup application perceies that the data is being stored on cartridges while ProtecTIER actually stores data on a deduplicated disk repository. isibility switching The automated process that transfers the isibility of a VTL cartridge from its master to its replica and ice ersa. The isibility switching process is xi IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

19 Who should read this document What's new in this release triggered by moing a cartridge to the source library Import/Export (I/E) slot. The cartridge will then disappear from the I/E slot and appear at the destination library's I/E slot. To moe the cartridge back to the source library, the cartridge must be ejected to the shelf from the destination library. The cartridge will then disappear from the destination library and reappear at the source I/E slot.

23 Chapter 1. Introduction The IBM System Storage TS7650 ProtecTIER Deduplication Appliance (TS7650 Appliance) is a data deduplication solution. The TS7650 Appliance compresses and stores backup data on the self-contained IBM System Storage DS4700 disk storage unit. The replication function allows ProtecTIER (PT) deployment to be distributed across sites. To facilitate backup applications that are designed for use with tape storage, the TS7650 Appliance emulates a traditional tape library unit. The TS7650 Appliance is aailable in a stand-alone configuration, or in a clustered configuration which facilitates increased throughput and higher aailability. The TS7650 Appliance uses IBM technology and software to emulate DTC VTF 0100, ATL P and TS3500 tape libraries. This emulation capability is designed to help customers achiee the following operational and throughput efficiencies: Backup window reduction Restoration time reduction Data sharing and resource irtualization optimization Operational efficiency Improed sharing of irtual tape libraries across applications and serers The OpenStorage interface is a NetBackup appliance programming interface (API) supporting communications between NetBackup systems and OpenStorage-enabled ProtecTIER systems. The OpenStorage interface proides the following capabilities: NetBackup software directs ProtecTIER systems when to create, copy, delete or restore backup images. Backup images may be replicated to up to 12 different ProtecTIER systems. Workloads and performance are balanced between NetBackup media serers and ProtecTIER systems. Detailed statistics on the state of the ProtecTIER systems are aailable through API. Attention: Before upgrading the ProtecTIER code leel, it is required that the storage subsystem firmware, NVSRAM firmware, and the ESM firmware on your expansion drawers be updated first. You must call IBM Serice to schedule a time to update the firmware. TS7650 Appliance hardware components The TS7650 Appliance consists of four hardware machine types and the ProtecTIER software. The 3952 F05 Frame is used to house the components of the TS7650 Appliance. The TS7650 Appliance is aailable in the following stand-alone and clustered configurations. Copyright IBM Corp

24 Replication is aailable in both stand-alone and clustered configurations. Replication requires that the source and destination systems be separate and identical in size and configuration, that is, stand-alone to stand-alone or clustered to clustered. Each system can function as a hub or as a spoke. Replication does not require that the source and destination systems be identical in size and configuration. Twele spokes can replicate to a single hub. Important: Both the source and the destination must be completely installed and configured before replication can be enabled. Resources should be planned so that the destination machine is able to receie replications from all source machines. The space allocated for replication in the destination machine should be larger than the sum of all the data in the sources that need to be replicated. When planning for the performance of the destination, the amount of data that needs to be replicated and the time allocated for replication should be considered. For a stand-alone configuration, one IBM machine type and model 3958 AP1 serer is required. For a clustered configuration, two 3958 AP1 serers are required, along with an FC 3437 Cluster Connection Kit, which includes two Alpha Networks Ethernet switches and one Western Telematic IPS-800E-D20 remote network power switch. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 Adanced Platform is required to run on the appliance serer. For more information, see TS7650 Appliance feature codes on page 31. FC 2722 proides an IBM Total Storage System Console (TSSC) and the accompanying Keyboard/Video/Monitor (KVM) switch. These items are required for installation, serice, and maintenance of the TS7650 Appliance. IBM recommends that the TSSC be installed in the same rack as the appliance serer. Howeer, an existing TSSC may be used, proided it is within 100 feet of the appliance serer. For additional information on hardware requirements, see Chapter 5, Customer installation responsibilities, on page 43.

Disk controller ( H) FC 3706 or ( H) 3708 The disk controller supports sixteen 450 GB (15k rpm), 4 Gbps, fibre channel disk drie modules (DDMs). It comes with two RAID controllers, two power supplies, and two cooling units. The disk controller proides dual redundant controllers, redundant cooling, redundant power, and battery backup of the RAID controller cache. Chapter 1. Introduction to the TS7650 Appliance 13

36 The disk controller is designed to proide maximum host and drie-side redundancy, enabling full redundant drie loop support to additional disk storage capacity in the expansion frames ia the drie loop port from each RAID controller. In addition, each RAID controller supports direct attachment of two serers that contain two fibre channel host bus adapters each. External cables and small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules connect the disk controller to the expansion units and the serers. For optimum performance, RAID 5 configuration is recommended. Currently, the only expansion unit that can be attached to the H disk controller is the H disk expansion module. For more support information about the disk controller, go to serers/storage/support/disk/ and select Disk Systems DS4700 Express. Disk expansion module ( H) FC 3707 The disk expansion module supports sixteen 450 GB (15k rpm), 4 Gbps, fibre channel disk drie modules (DDMs). For optimum performance, RAID 5 configuration is recommended. The disk expansion module supports redundant, dual-loop configurations with the disk controller and other disk expansion modules. External cables and SFP modules connect the controller to the disk expansion module. The disk expansion module proides continuous, reliable serice and uses hot-swap technology. Software for the TS7650 Appliance This section lists and describes software used with the TS7650 Appliance. ProtecTIER is a disk-based data storage system. It uses data de-duplication technology to store data to disk arrays. The ProtecTIER VT serice emulates traditional automated tape libraries. Note: Only install one of the backup solutions, either ProtecTIER Virtual Tape (VT) or OpenStorage. Alternatiely, the TS7650 can be configured as OpenStorage and integrated with Symantic NetBackup. ProtecTIER Manager The ProtecTIER Manager workstation is a customer-supplied workstation that runs the ProtecTIER Manager software. The ProtecTIER Manager software proides the management GUI interface to the TS7650 Appliance. System requirements for the workstation are proided in this document in ProtecTIER Manager workstation requirements on page 44. Complete information about installing and using the ProtecTIER Manager workstation is proided in the IBM System Storage ProtecTIER User's Guide for Enterprise Edition and Appliance Edition, IBM form number GA Note: ProtecTIER Manager will not be optimal on all resolutions. 1280x1024 should be the optimal resolution. 14 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

37 ProtecTIER Virtual Tape (VT) The ProtecTIER Virtual Tape (VT) serice emulates traditional tape libraries. By emulating tape libraries, ProtecTIER VT enables you to transition to disk backup without haing to replace your entire backup enironment. Your existing backup application can access irtual robots to moe irtual cartridges between irtual slots and dries. The backup application perceies that the data is being stored on cartridges while ProtecTIER actually stores data on a deduplicated disk repository on the appliance storage.

Tape library emulation OpenStorage With OpenStorage, ProtecTIER can be integrated with NetBackup to proide the means for backup-to-disk without haing to emulate tape. Using a plug-in that is installed on an OpenStorage-enabled media serer, ProtecTIER can implement a communication protocol that supports data transfer and control between the backup serer and the ProtecTIER serer. Therefore, to support the plug-in, ProtecTIER implements a storage serer emulation.

Note: If you attach your TS7650 Appliance to a non-ibm platform with non-ibm software, IBM recommends that you contact your software endor to obtain a matrix of compatible hardware, software, firmware reisions, and adapter cards. Supported deice driers This section identifies ways to determine the latest deice driers for the dries of the TS7650 Appliance. IBM proides deice drier support for the TS7650 Appliance. IBM maintains the latest leels of deice driers and drier documentation. IBM Serice proides deice drier support as needed. Supported SAN switches The TS7650 Appliance supports a wide ariety of switches in the SAN enironment. All switches attached directly to the TS7650 Appliance must be loop protocol capable. These attachments can change throughout the product's life cycle. For information on supported switches and required code leels for the switches, do one of the following: For a list of compatible switches for the TS7650 Appliance, isit the web at: Select Tape & optical from the Product family menu and select TS7650 Appliance from the Product menu. Contact your IBM Sales Representatie. Notes: Chapter 1. Introduction to the TS7650 Appliance 17

40 If you attach your TS7650 Appliance to a non-ibm platform with non-ibm software, IBM recommends that you contact your software endor to obtain a matrix of compatible hardware, software, firmware reisions, and adapter cards. The customer must use an additional connectiity deice between the optical Fibre directly connected to RMSS optical adapters (for example, Fibre, ESCON, or FICON) and an external public network. It can be a patch panel, router, switch, or other suitable deice. Optical Fibre connectiity that does not go oer a public network does not require an additional connectiity deice. Data management and adanced features The TS7650 Appliance is designed with data management and adanced features that allow you to securely process and access your data according to your business needs een if it is 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. RAID Redundant array of independent disks (RAID) is a method of configuring multiple disk dries in a storage subsystem for high aailability and high performance. The collection of two or more disk dries presents the image of a single disk drie to the system. In the eent of a single deice failure, data can be read or regenerated from the other disk dries in the array. The appliance supports the following RAID configurations: RAID 1 for the appliance serer's internal hard disk dries RAID 5 for user data on attached disk storage RAID 10 for meta data on attached disk storage Configure other items such as block size, channel protection, and so on, in accordance with your disk storage manufacturer's instructions. Fencing The TS7650 Appliance's fencing option proides higher aailability for TS7650 Appliance operations by eliminating the down time that can occur should an appliance serer (software or hardware) fail. Two-node actie-actie support permits the sharing of all disk storage between two appliance serers in a clustered configuration. In the TS7650 Appliance fencing design, two appliance serers are installed in the same frame and configured to monitor each other. In the eent that one appliance serer fails to fulfill its responsibilities to the SAN clients it is sering, the other serer will take oer the failed serer's resources. Fencing requirements Fencing is aailable only in a clustered TS7650 Appliance configuration. Follow these requirements when setting up a fencing configuration: You must hae two 3958 AP1 appliance serers in a single frame. One appliance serer is located at the bottom of the frame (node A, the lower serer in the rack) and the other appliance serer is located at the top of the frame (node B, the upper serer in the rack). Note: Fencing with two appliance serers in different frames is not possible, because both serers must be connected to the same power supply. 18 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

41 Static IP addresses must be used. Ethernet adapter 2 (eth1) on Node A (the lower serer in the rack) and Node B (the upper serer in the rack) must use different IP addresses. For more information on IP addresses, see Chapter 11, IP address worksheet, on page 69. LUN Masking LUN Masking is used to control deice isibility by allowing specific deices (for example, tape dries or robots) to be seen only by a selected group of host initiators. A host initiator is the WWN, or the physical address of a port of a fiber card of the host (that is, the serer that the backup application is installed on). LUN Masking allows you to assign specific deices to a specific host running backup application modules. It enables multiple initiators to share the same target FC port without haing conflicts on the deices being emulated. The LUN Masking setup can be monitored and modified at all times during system operation. LUN Masking in ProtecTIER influences the isibility of the deices by the hosts systems. Keep in mind that eery modification to LUN Masking in ProtecTIER may affect the host configuration and may require rescanning by the hosts. Replication This section describes the replication function. The replication function proides complete system backup and allows ProtecTIER deployment to be distributed across sites. Each site has a single or clustered ProtecTIER enironment. Each ProtecTIER enironment has at least one ProtecTIER serer. The ProtecTIER serer that is a part of the replication grid has two dedicated replication ports, Eth3 and Eth4, which are used for replication. Replication ports are connected to the customer's WAN and are configured on two subnets by default. Note: Do not configure the replication ports, Eth3 and Eth4, on the same subnet as the external LAN port, Eth0 or on the same subnets as each other. Doing so may cause replication errors. Use the pt_net_perf_util utility to test maximal replication performance between two future PT repositories by emulating the network usage patterns of ProtecTIER's Natie Replication component. This utility will not predict replication performance, but it may discoer performance bottlenecks. Many-to-one replication ProtecTIER many-to-one replication supports both single node and clustered ProtecTIER configurations. Many-to-one replication proides the following functionality and support: Setting replication performance limits - This feature allows the user to set system-wide physical and/or nominal limits in order to indicate to the replication engine the maximal replication transfer rate allowed in the network for a specific repository. The performance limits refer to oerall resource consumption of the system, and is reflected on to the network transfer rate. Performance limits are based on the Replication Rate Control mechanism, which has been enhanced. Current Replication Rate Control (RRC) is used when a user does not proide a time frame and the system replicates continuously. The enhancement is in the rate calculation. The rate calculation uses performance Chapter 1. Introduction to the TS7650 Appliance 19

42 limits to understand the maximum rate possible in both leels of system usage (IDLE, BUSY) and then it normalizes the rate accordingly. Resering space for hub repository - This feature proides the ability to exclusiely assign a fragment of a hub repository's capacity for local backups. In large deployments with many spokes replicating, capacity management done by the user might cause a situation where replication is trying to occupy all the space in hub repository. Since the assumption is that backup has precedence oer replication, this feature has been added to ensure that capacity is resered only for local backup, so that replication cannot be written to this storage fragment. Error notifications appear in the eent the capacity resered for the local backup or the capacity resered for replication on the repository hub is running out of space. Enhanced monitoring of repository space consumption - This enhancement is displayed in the GUI as a nominal data pie, where a user can get at-a-glance the proportion of the nominal data out of the repository and the internal capacity distribution of replication data s. local backup data and free space. Additional Replication information in Repository's cartridge iew - This feature adds cartridge replication properties such as: last update time, destination, etc. to a new replication iew that adds replication properties for cartridges which are also displayed in the regular cartridge iew. This feature allows the user to see replication properties for a batch of cartridges each in a single row. Sorting capability for the new replication fields was added, to stay on par with the sorting capabilities for the rest of the cartridge fields. Disaster Recoery site replaces production site operation - This feature supports a scenario where a disaster recoery site (the hub) is chosen to replace one of its spokes permanently. The feature allows the user to take oer the responsibility for the cartridges of the old spoke after running the replace repository wizard from the Replication Manager. Enhanced Timeframe support - This feature enhances the repository timeframe attribute to be a weekly scheduler on a repository leel. The timeframe is a set of 30 minute time interals across a full week. The user chooses at which time interal the replication should run during a single week. The new timeframe also uses the performance limits feature for limiting the replication rate when in timeframe. Command Line Interface for Disaster Recoery - This feature adds a Command Line Interface (CLI) that allows a user to run complex queries on cartridges and proides cartridge batch moe operation during a manual DR procedure. The feature allows the user to query ProtecTIER in order to obtain a list of cartridges that falls under specific criteria. The query criteria are cartridge replication properties and cartridge location properties. Replication grid The replication grid is defined as an entity that supports replication between its members. The replication grid members are PT repositories and are configured using a Replication Manager (RM). The RM is a software component that may be installed on a dedicated host or on a PT machine. The RM should be able to see all of the members of the whole network the RM handles on both replication subnets. A replication grid defines a set of PT repositories and actions between them. The RM is serer software that is separately deployed on the customer's WAN or on a PT machine. The RM can manage the configuration of multiple replication grids in an organization. An agent on each PT system (specifically on eery node) interacts with the serer and maintains a table of its grid's members. 20 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

43 Important: Be sure to coordinate between the source and destination sites to ensure that the serers at both locations are fully configured before the you use the ProtecTIER Replication Manager GUI to create the replication grid. Consult with Solutions Assurance and your IBM Representatie for assistance and information. Many-to-one replication defines the following two roles in a replication grid: Spoke - A backup target that can only replicate to a single hub, may not be a target for replication. Hub - A replication and backup target, may receie replication from up to 12 spokes, may not replicate (besides failback). A group of one hub and 1-12 spokes is referred to as a topology group. A single grid may include up to eight hubs and therefore up to eight topology groups. Spokes do not need physical connections between them. All repositories need a network connection to the replication manager serer (a PT or dedicated host ia RPQ approal). Note: When upgrading from one-to-one replication to many-to-one replication, the Replication Manager serer automatically upgrades the grid's database; therefore all replication pairs will be set as hub and spoke accordingly. The GUI behaes as its multiple many-to-one pairs. The GUI behaes as its multiple many-to-one pairs. OpenStorage also supports a group of 12 repositories replicating in many-to-many bidirectional topology. Supported replication configurations This list shows all of the supported replication configurations: DD1 (source serer) + DD1 (destination serer) - (s+s), (c+c), (c+s), (s+c) DD1 (source serer) + DD3 (destination serer) - (s+s), (c+c), (c+s), (s+c) DD3 (source serer) + DD3 (destination serer) - (s+s), (c+c), (c+s), (s+c) DD1 (source serer) + AP1 (destination serer) - (s+s), (c+c), (c+s), (s+c) DD3 (source serer) + AP1 (destination serer) - (s+s), (c+c), (c+s), (s+c) AP1 (source serer) + AP1 (destination serer) - (s+s), (c+c), (c+s), (s+c) Legend: s = stand-alone c = cluster Chapter 1.

The following list identifies some of the safety issues you must consider: Fire suppression Earthquake safety Proiding a fire-suppression system You are responsible for proiding a fire suppression system for your TS7650 Appliance. IBM designs and manufactures equipment to internal and external standards that require certain enironments for reliable operation. Because IBM does not test any Chapter 2. Physical planning specifications for the TS7650 Appliance 29

52 equipment for compatibility with fire-suppression systems, IBM does not make compatibility claims of any kind. IBM does not proide recommendations on fire-suppression systems. Consult your insurance underwriter, local fire marshal, or local building inspector about selecting a fire-suppression system that proides the proper leel of coerage and protection. Earthquake effects There is no guarantee against equipment damage as a result of an earthquake. Many factors influence the stress imposed on system equipment, including: Intensity and duration of the earthquake Equipment structural strength and durability Equipment location within a structure Equipment installation method Building type Soil conditions Guarantees of equipment reliability cannot be made for all earthquakes and conditions. The damaging effects of an earthquake are minimized by appropriate installation and planning techniques. Significant sliding and rocking of equipment during an earthquake might directly or indirectly result in damage. The following steps can help minimize damage: Position equipment far enough from walls to preent or minimize collision. Ensure that power and accessory cables are long enough to accommodate sliding and flexing during an earthquake. Ensure that cable clamps or other strain reliefs are secured properly to equipment. Secure seeral tall units together to form a more stable structure. Use a flexible restraint that allows a limited amount of moement, approximately 75 mm to 150 mm (3 in. to 6 in.), to dissipate energy imparted by the earthquake. 30 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

71 Chapter 7. Planning data migration This section discusses planning for data migration. Use data migration considerations to formulate your data migration plan. There are three leels of considerations to keep in mind when selecting the best method for your enironment. At the first leel, consider broad questions about your enironment to create a generic profile of your needs. At the second leel compare which migration methods fit into your generic profile. The third leel is to reiew a set of hints and other guidelines that apply to specific enironments or that may help you take adantage of a migration to optimize your enironment. The following are some key questions to use to define your generic migration enironment: Why is the data migrating? How much data is migrating? How quickly must the migration be performed? What duration of serice outage can be tolerated? Is the data migration to/from the same type storage? What resources are aailable for the migration? After determining general answers to the considerations listed aboe, a better understanding of some of the migration options along with their adantages and disadantages will help frame your generic profile into a subset of acceptable migration options.

73 Chapter 8. OpenStorage network configuration for the ProtecTIER Backup serer This chapter proides information on OpenStorage (OST) network configuration for the ProtecTIER Backup serer including the scopes and objecties, definitions and acronyms, information on Teaming/Bonding and procedures for setting up the network with ProtecTIER. Abstract The goal of this information is to describe the networking technologies that are used in order to set up the connectiity of the ProtecTIER front end interfaces to the network. This chapter describes OpenStorage (OST) network configuration best practices to support different IP configurations. It will proide the scope and objecties, along with the basic acronyms that will be used in the subsequent sections. The goal is to describe the networking technologies that are used in order to set up the connectiity of the ProtecTIER front end interfaces to the network. This chapter describes the technologies in use such as teaming or bonding on the network serers, 802.3ad Link Aggregation and similar technologies on the LAN switches, along with network topologies for stand-alone and redundant architectures. This chapter describes the technology, topologies and setups for achieing the best performance and suriability oer the network. Scope and objecties The purpose of this topic is to establish a connectiity method for connecting the ProtecTIER serer front end interfaces to the network, and achieing the optimal performance using it. In an OpenStorage enironment, the ProtecTIER serer connects to the network with multiple Ethernet adapters, and supports a total throughput of hundreds of mega bytes per second oer the network per node. The next sections will focus on the following issues: Network connectiity and load balancing method of the ProtecTIER serer. Network connectiity and load balancing method of the hosts connected to the network. Network configuration and load balancing method of the LAN switches to which the ProtecTIER serer and the hosts are connected. Definitions and Acronyms This sections describes definitions and acronyms that are releant to the OpenStorage network configuration. Link Aggregation A method for grouping seeral interfaces into a single irtual interface, for the purpose of load sharing between the interfaces.

74 Gigabit Ethernet Ethernet that runs in a Gigabit per second bandwidth. VLAN Virtual LAN is a software-defined LAN that groups network elements in the same broadcast domain. Teaming A method for grouping seeral physical adapters into a single irtual adapter for the purpose of load sharing and throughput enhancement. Teaming is a common term for Microsoft Operating System. Bonding This term means the same as teaming and is usually used in Linux/Unix Operating System. Host A network element connected to the network. In the OpenStorage enironment, the NetBackup media serers are referred to as hosts. Bonding/Teaming The connectiity is based on a mechanism called Teaming (usually in Microsoft platforms) or Bonding (usually on Linux/Unix platforms) in serers, and Link aggregation (802.3ad) or Cisco Etherchannel in LAN switches. The purpose of these mechanisms is to achiee higher bandwidth on the connection, as close as possible to the multiplication of the port's bandwidth, along with redundancy between the ports. Principles of teaming/bonding mechanisms The teaming is a mechanism that groups interfaces in layer 2 (on the Ethernet layer), while the whole team gets a single IP address. This mechanism can work in seeral common ways, among which are the following: Redundant mode - usually two interfaces: one for carrying the traffic, and one for backup. This is usually called Actie-Backup mode. Transmit and/or Receie load balancing - receie and/or transmit load is distributed independently of the LAN switches to which they are connected ad Mode - the serers and the switches they are connected to must support the standard and load distribution is according to this standard. The first two methods are topologies that are "switch-less", which means that the switch does not hae to support any specific standard. In the last method, the switches in the topology must support the 802.3ad standard, or in some cases the Cisco Etherchannel implementation. Redundant mode In redundant mode, one of the adapters is actie, and one is passie. When the actie adapter fails, the passie takes its place. Note: This mode does not perform load balancing. Transmit and receie load balancing In transmit mode, the serer adapters usually works in the following way: 52 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

75 In transmit load balancing, the traffic is usually sent in a round-robin manner, while the team (or bond) sends out packets with a single MAC address. The load is balanced on the way out from the serer, while all traffic comes in on a single interface. In receie load balancing, the question is how to tell the receier of the packets, to send the packets back to the same interface that it came from. The problem occurs because there are multiple MAC addresses going out with a single IP address. Therefore, when the receier starts to send data, it will send an ARP request, and then will send all packets back to the interface that his address came back in the ARP response. The method that is usually used to sole this problem is to send the receier multiple ARP responses, with all the MAC addresses of the team, so the receier will "beliee" that the IP address is coming from different MACs, and therefore we will get also receie load balancing. Actie Load Balancing (ALB) is a receie load balancing technique ad Topologies This standard does not mandate any particular distribution algorithm(s). Howeer, any distribution algorithm shall ensure that the algorithm will not cause the following: Misorder of frames that are part of any gien conersation Duplication of frames The standard suggests, but does not mandate, that the algorithm may assign one or more conersations to the same port; howeer, it must not allocate some of the frames of a gien conersation to one port and the remainder to different ports. The information used to assign conersations to ports could include the following: Source MAC address Destination MAC address Source IP address Destination IP address The reception port The type of destination address (indiidual or group MAC address) Ethernet Length/Type alue (i.e., protocol identification) Higher layer protocol information (e.g., addressing and protocol identification information from the LLC sub layer or aboe) Combinations of the aboe The policy according to which the bond decides how to distribute the frames across the ports is referred to as "hash algorithm" or "hash policy". The hash policy decides according to what parameters, or combination of parameters, the frames will be distributed. For example, when we hae a serer exchanging information with seeral hosts on the same subnet, configuring a source/destination MAC hash will usually gie a reasonable load distribution. On the other hand, if we want to use load balancing oer a router, then a layer-3 hash will not help, since the serer sees only one IP Address (of the router), and therefore all traffic will be sent oer the same interface. In this case, layer-4 hash must be used. Bonding on linux machines This section describes bonding types on linux machines. In linux machines, the following bonding types exist: Chapter 8. OpenStorage network configuration 53

76 Mode 0 - sets a round-robin policy for fault tolerance and load balancing. Mode 1 - sets an actie-backup policy for fault tolerance. Mode 2 - sets an XOR (exclusie-or) policy for fault tolerance and load balancing. Mode 3 - sets a broadcast policy for fault tolerance. All transmissions are sent on all slae interfaces. Mode 4 - sets an IEEE 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation policy. Mode 5 - sets a Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) policy for fault tolerance and load balancing. Mode 6 - sets an Actie Load Balancing (ALB) policy for fault tolerance and load balancing. Includes transmit and receie load balancing for IPV4 traffic. Receie load balancing is achieed through ARP negotiation. Modes 2 and 4 use a default transmit hash policy of layer 2 (source MAC destination MAC)%N (number of slaes). The hash policy can be modified to layer3+4 where both source and destination IP and port are taken into consideration. Bonding on Unix machines This section describes bonding types on Unix machines. These are the modes supported in IBM-AIX: Standard or 802.3ad Default hash mode - The traditional AIX behaior. The adapter selection algorithm uses the last byte of the destination IP address (for TCP/IP traffic) or MAC address (for ARP and other non-ip traffic). Standard or 8023ad src_dst_port hash mode - The outgoing adapter path is selected by an algorithm using the combined source and destination TCP or UDP port alues. Standard or 8023ad src_port - The adapter selection algorithm uses the source TCP or UDP port alue Standard or 8023ad dst_port The outgoing adapter path is selected by the algorithm using the destination system port alue. Round-robin Outgoing traffic is spread eenly across all of the adapter ports in the EtherChannel. Teaming on Microsoft-based machines On Microsoft-based machines, the teaming methods are entirely defined by the NIC endor. This section describes the teaming modes for Broadcom and Intel NICs. The teaming modes described are only those used for load sharing. Broadcom NICs Broadcom supports the following balancing modes: 54 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

77 SLB Smart Load Balancing In this method both transmit and receie load balancing are enabled, based on source and destination L3/L4 IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers. Generic Trunking In this switch-assisted teaming mode, the LAN switch that the serer is attached to, must be also configures for one of the aggregation methods. As is the case for Smart Load Balancing, the IP/TCP/UDP source and destination addresses to load balance the transmit traffic from the serer Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad LACP) Link Aggregation is similar to Generic Trunking except that it uses the Link Aggregation Control Protocol to negotiate the ports that will make up the team. Intel NICs Intel supports the following balancing modes: Adaptie Load Balancing (ALB) This method allows transmission oer 2-8 ports to multiple destination addresses, along with Fault Tolerance. In this method, transmit is done through 2-8 adapters in load balancing, while the team receies packets only through the main adapter. This method works on L3/4 basis. Receie Load Balancing (RLB) This method, than can be configures only with ALB, adds the receie load balancing feature to it, and is also based on L3/4. This is a switch-less method. Virtual Machine Load Balancing (VMLB) Proides transmit and receie traffic load balancing across Virtual Machines bound to the team interface, as well as fault tolerance in the eent of switch port, cable, or adapter failure. This teaming type is switch-less method IEEE 802.3ad In this method, the standard supports static and dynamic modes. Intel supports both modes, and must be configured with a LAN switch the supports the 802.3ad standard, or Cisco Etherchannel technology. LAG and similar technologies on the LAN Switches For LAN switches, configurations are proided for Cisco switches. Some of the features are present in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SB and higher. The 802.3ad is a market-wide standard, supported by all common endors. In Cisco switches, both L2 and L3, two methods are aailable: 1. Etherchannel GEC/FEC (Giga/Fast Ethernet ports), and PaGP ad Link Aggregations and LACP control Protocol In switches from other endor's (Aaya, Juniper, 3Com, HP and others), only 802.3ad is used. Etherchannel is a Cisco proprietary technology. In Cisco IOS ersions up to Release 15.0(1)S, mechanisms for load balancing Ethernet serice instances oer member links in a port channel do not account for the serice instances traffic loads, which can lead to unequal distribution of traffic oer member links. Chapter 8. OpenStorage network configuration 55

78 In IOS Release 15.0(1)S, a new feature was presented, that is 802.3ad Link Aggregation with Weighted Load Balancing feature (802.3ad LAG with WLB) that allows you to assign weights to serice instances to efficiently distribute traffic flow across actie member links in a port channel. The LAG with WLB feature supports both LACP (actie or passie mode) and manual (mode on) EtherChannel bundling. A weighted load balancing configuration does not affect the selection of actie member links in the EtherChannel. As member links become actie or inactie, a load-balancing algorithm adjusts the distribution of Ethernet serice instances to use the currently actie member links. Setting up the network with ProtecTIER This section describes the set up procedures using the ProtecTIER serer. ProtecTIER serer Configuration The backup application creates a backup or restore stream for each backup set copied to or from the IBM ProtecTIER serer. In an OpenStorage enironment, the ProtecTIER plug-in on the media serer opens by default up to 8 TCP connections for each stream. The best practice for the ProtecTIER serer is to connect it in one of the following configurations: Indiidual IPs (layer 3) configuration In this configuration each interface gets its own IP address. This configuration maximizes the performance but does not offer high aailability of the interfaces. It also requires multiple IPs and subnets. No teaming or bonding is used in this configuration. This configuration is recommended in case no switch support for the other options is aailable. This is currently the only configuration supported for serers using the 10Gb NICs. Single team/bond (Layer 2) configuration In this configuration, all front end interfaces on a ProtecTIER node are grouped into one team. This configuration maximizes the high aailability and ease of use, as a single IP and subnet is used for the entire team. This configuration is recommended if using 2 or 4 interfaces on the ProtecTIER side. If a different interfaces number is used (e.g. all 6 interfaces in the case of 1Gb NICs), this method might not maximize the performance, and option (3) is recommended. Dual/Three teams (Layer 2+3) configuration In this configuration, 2 or 3 teams are configured. This configuration balances the high aailability, ease of use and performance. This configuration is recommended in the case that the number of interfaces used on the ProtecTIER side is different than 2 or 4. In testing with Cisco 6500 switch configured with Etherchannel, 3 teams containing 2 interfaces each, maximized the performance similarly to option 1. If configuring teams, for each one of the teams, an IP address should be configured on the team, and the team should be configured with load balancing method as described in Load Distribution Methodology on page IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

79 Load Distribution Methodology This section describes the Load Distribution Methodology. The bonding methods which are supported by the ProtecTIER serer are: Mode 0 (Round-Robin): outgoing traffic is spread eenly across all of the adapter ports in the team/bond. Mode 4 (Dynamic IEEE 802.3ad, switch-assist): L2 : outgoing traffic is spread using a default transmit hash policy of layer 2 (source MAC destination MAC)%N (number of slaes). L2/L3: outgoing traffic is spread using a transmit hash policy of MAC addresses and IP addresses of the source and the destination. L3/L4: outgoing traffic is spread using a transmit hash policy of IP addresses and ports of the source and the destination. LAN switch This section describes the LAN switch. In LAN switches, there are arious technologies that are supported by arious endors, for example Cisco Fast EtherChannel (FEC) and Gigabit EtherChannel (GEC), Nortel's Multilink Trunking (MLT), Extreme Network Load Sharing and others. Most of the endor's supports also 802.3ad. Teams Configuration In the LAN switch, configure as follows: 1. When configured with switch-less topology, no configuration is required. 2. When configured with Etherchannel or 802.3ad, use Layer-3/4 hash mechanism. Hosts The hosts can be serers of arious types, operating systems, and hardware profiles. This section describes the configurations of the following deices Broadcom and NICs on Windows platforms and IBM AIX serer Broadcom NICs with Microsoft Platforms If configuring teams, the Broadcom NICs should be configured with the Broadcom network utility. Choose team type of Link Aggregation (802.3ad). Note: See Configuration instructions and examples. IBM AIX Platforms If configuring bond, use the AIX configuration tools to create a new link aggregation of type 802.3ad. Set the hash mode to src_dst_port parameter. Note: See Configuration instructions and examples. Solaris Platforms If configuring bond, use the dladm configuration command to create a new link aggregation. LACP mode should be actie and policy should be L4. Chapter 8. OpenStorage network configuration 57

80 Network topologies Note: See Configuration instructions and examples. Connectiity on a Single Site When connecting the ProtecTIER on a single site with the hosts, it will be connected on the same VLAN with the hosts, or on separate VLANs. Connectiity on a single VLAN, with a single IP subnet In a single switch topology, the ProtecTIER serers and the hosts are connected to the same VLAN, with the same IP subnet, on a same physical switch.

Single host with single ProtecTIER serer on the same VLAN Connectiity on different Switches When connecting the hosts and the ProtecTIER serers on multiple LAN switches, the connectiity between the switches must hae the capability of transferring the data rate required for the backup. Therefore, we recommend using a 10Gb Ethernet connectiity between the switches. Another option would be to define another link aggregation between the switches such that they will be capable of transferring the required bandwidth. 58 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

101 Chapter 13. ProtecTIER Replication Network Performance Validation Utility for VTL Systems The VTL pt_net_perf_util utility's objectie is to test maximal replication performance between two future ProtecTIER VTL repositories by emulating the network usage patterns of ProtecTIER's Natie Replication component. This utility will not predict replication performance, but it may discoer performance bottlenecks. Before you begin The requirements of this utility are as follows: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 Standard external utilities expected to be in the current path: ping, netstat, getopt, echo. The pt_net_perf_util utility and the iperf tool it uses are installed as part of the ProtecTIER software installation. To test the replication performance, use the following tool: iperf /usr/local/bin/iperf This utility has two modes of operation, client and serer. The serer has to be started before the client. Before running the utility, shut down all other programs on both the client and serer ProtecTIER systems. The client is the ProtecTIER system that transmits the test data and the serer is the ProtecTIER system that receies the data (also known as the target serer). Based on the data sent by the client and receied by the serer, the script outputs key network parameter alues which indicate certain attributes of the network. The goal of these tests is to benchmark the throughput of the network. The most important benchmark is the direction that replication will actually take place, i.e. the target should be tested as the serer since the flow of data will be to that serer from the client. Howeer, it is also important to also test the reerse direction to measure the bandwidth performance during disaster recoery failback. Network bandwidth is not always the same in both directions. About this task In the following procedure, the goal is to test network performance between two machines on a WAN, serer1 and serer2. Each test will run for fie minutes. Since there are fie tests, the process will take a total of 25 minutes. Procedure 1. Start the serer mode of the utility on serer1 by entering the following commands on the command line: cd /opt/dtc/app/sbin./pt_net_perf_util -s 2. Start the client mode of the utility on serer2 by entering the following command on the command line:./pt_net_perf_util -c serer1 -t 300 Copyright IBM Corp

102 3. The utility will automatically perform the tests in sequence. The client output (serer2 in the example below) will look similar to the following: Note: In the sample output below the test ran for only 5 seconds instead of 300. *** Latency PING ( ) 56(84) bytes of data ping statistics packets transmitted, 5 receied, 0% packet loss, time 4001ms rtt min/ag/max/mde = 0.257/0.406/0.484/0.079 ms *** Throughput - Default TCP [ 3] sec 56.6 MBytes 94.8 Mbits/sec *** Throughput - 1 TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [ 3] sec 57.0 MBytes 95.0 Mbits/sec *** Throughput - 16 TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [SUM] sec 65.0 MBytes 94.3 Mbits/sec *** Throughput TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [SUM] sec 127 MBytes 94.1 Mbits/sec Number of TCP segments sent: Number of TCP retransmissions detected: 21 (0%) Done. See the next section for information about interpreting the results of the tests. Interpreting the results The utility performs fie foreground tests (Tests 1-5 below), and one background test (Test 6 below). The example outputs below are from the client side. Each of the first fie tests below ran for 300 seconds (-t 300), while the last test monitored TCP performance during that time. Test 1: Latency This test checks the nominal network link latency and packet loss. Example result: *** Latency PING ( ) 56(84) bytes of data ping statistics packets transmitted, 120 receied, 0% packet loss, time ms rtt min/ag/max/mde = /78.491/ /9.872 ms Interpreting the results: The aerage round-trip-time (rtt) was 78.4ms and there was 0% packet loss. The latency in WAN topologies may ary, but should neer exceed 200ms. Contact your network administrator if latency reports more than 200ms, as it may significantly decrease replication throughput. Higher latency alues will cause a major deterioration in replication throughput. Packet loss should be 0%. Any other alue indicates a major network problem. Test 2: Throughput - default settings 80 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

103 This test checks maximal TCP throughput using a single data stream with default TCP settings. Example result: *** Throughput - Default TCP [ 3] sec 2.41 GBytes 173 Mbits/sec Interpreting the results: The test ran for seconds, transferred 2.41 GB (2.24 GiB), with an aerage throughput of 173 Mbits/sec. Note: 1 MByte = 1,048,576 bytes. 1 Mbit/sec = 1,000,000 bits/sec. Test 3: Throughput - single stream, 1MB send buffer This test checks maximal TCP throughput using a single data stream with a 1MB (0.95 MiB) send buffer. Example result: *** Throughput - 1 TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [ 3] sec 2.51 GBytes 180 Mbits/sec Interpreting the results: The test ran for seconds, transferred 2.51 GB (2.34 GiB), with an aerage throughput of 180 Mbits/sec. There may be an improement here on high-latency links. Test 4: Throughput - 16 streams, 1MB send buffer Example result: *** Throughput - 16 TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [SUM] sec 5.91 GBytes 418 Mbits/sec Interpreting the results: The test ran for seconds, transferred 5.91 GB (5.5 GiB), with an aerage throughput of 418 Mbits/sec. The extra streams yielded higher utilization of the connection. The Mbits/sec reported in this test is the maximum replication performance your system will achiee if your backup enironment is using up to 2-3 cartridges in parallel. Test 5: Throughput streams, 1MB send buffer Example result: *** Throughput TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [SUM] sec 8.08 GBytes 550 Mbits/sec Interpreting the results: The test ran for seconds, transferred 8.08 GB (7.53 Gb), with an aerage throughput of 550 Mbits/sec. TCP takes a while to reach its maximal throughput. Longer testing times, 300 seconds or more, will produce more accurate results. The throughput alue gien by this test is the potential physical replication throughput for this system. It is directly affected by the aailable bandwidth, latency, packet loss and retransmission rate. Chapter 13. ProtecTIER Replication Network Performance Validation Utility for VTL Systems 81

104 The Mbits/sec reported in this test is the maximum replication performance your system may achiee. If this number is lower than anticipated, contact your network administrator. Test 6: TCP Retransmissions s. Total TCP segments sent Example result: Number of TCP segments sent: Number of TCP retransmissions detected: (12%) Interpreting the results: A total of TCP segments were sent during the fie tests, out of which, were lost and retransmitted. The retransmission rate imposes a direct penalty on the throughput, as the retransmission of these packets take up bandwidth. The retransmission can be caused by the underlying network (e.g. packet dropping by an oerflowed router) or by the TCP layer itself (e.g. retransmission due to packet reordering). Segment loss can be caused by each of the network layers. TCP retransmission larger than 2% may cause performance degradation and unstable network connectiity. Contact your network administrator to resole this issue and reduce it to approximately 0%. What to do next You may want to run these tests again to test the reerse throughput in the network. To run the tests in reerse, change serer1 to the client and serer2 to the serer and repeat the procedures. 82 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

105 Chapter 14. ProtecTIER Network Performance Validation Utility for OpenStorage Systems The OpenStorage pt_net_perf_util utility's objectie is to test network performance between an OpenStorage host and a ProtecTIER serer. This utility will not predict backup and restore performance, but it may discoer performance bottlenecks. Before you begin The requirements of this utility are as follows: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 or any other platform officially supported by the OpenStorage plug-in Standard external utilities expected to be in the current path such as ping and netstat About this task The pt_net_perf_util utility and the iperf tool it uses are installed as part of the ProtecTIER software installation. The location of the utility aries according to the platform: Windows plug-in: %PROGRAMFILES%\IBM\ost_plugin_tools AIX plug-in: /opt/ibm/ost_plugin_tools ProtecTIER serer: /opp/dtc/app/sbin This utility has two modes of operation, client and serer. The serer has to be started before the client. Before running the utility, shut down all other programs on both the client and serer systems. The client is the system that transmits the test data and the serer is the system that receies the data (also known as the target serer). Based on the data sent by the client and receied by the serer, the script outputs key network parameter alues which indicate certain attributes of the network. The goal of these tests is to benchmark the throughput of the network. It is important to test both OpenStorage host-to-protectier serer and ProtecTIER serer-to-openstorage host directions to measure the bandwidth performance during both backup and restore actiities. Network bandwidth is not always the same in both directions. In addition, if an OpenStorage host or a ProtecTIER serer uses more than one IP address for OpenStorage operation, it is essential to test each IP address separately. In the following procedure, the goal is to test network performance between two machines serer1 and serer2. Each test will run for fie minutes. Since there are fie tests, the process will take a total of 25 minutes. Procedure 1. Start the serer mode of the utility on serer1 by entering the following commands on the command line:./pt_net_perf_util -s 2. Start the client mode of the utility on serer2 by entering the following command on the command line:./pt_net_perf_util -c serer1_ip_address -t 300 Copyright IBM Corp

106 where serer1_ip_address is one of the IP addresses to be tested for serer1. The default size of a buffer used for sending data is 1024KB. To oerride this size to another alue, for example 256KB, use the -l parameter as follows:./pt_net_perf_util -c serer1_ip_address -t 300 -l 256 Note: If serer1 is a Windows system, use following command: pt_net_perf_util.bat -c serer1_ip_address -t win-serer where serer1_ip_address is one of the IP addresses to be tested for serer1. The same buffer oerride command can also be used to change the size of the buffer. 3. The utility will automatically perform the tests in sequence. The client output (serer2 in the example below) will look similar to the following: Note: In the sample output below the test ran for only 5 seconds instead of 300. *** Latency PING ( ) 56(84) bytes of data ping statistics packets transmitted, 5 receied, 0% packet loss, time 4001ms rtt min/ag/max/mde = 0.257/0.406/0.484/0.079 ms *** Throughput - Default TCP [ 3] sec 56.6 MBytes 94.8 Mbits/sec *** Throughput - 1 TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [ 3] sec 57.0 MBytes 95.0 Mbits/sec *** Throughput - 16 TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [SUM] sec 65.0 MBytes 94.3 Mbits/sec *** Throughput TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [SUM] sec 127 MBytes 94.1 Mbits/sec Number of TCP segments sent: Number of TCP retransmissions detected: 21 (0%) Done. 4. See the next section for information about interpreting the results of the tests. Interpreting the results The utility performs fie foreground tests (Tests 1-5 below), and one background test (Test 6 below). The example outputs below are from the client side. Each of the first fie tests below ran for 300 seconds (-t 300), while the last test monitored TCP performance during that time. Test 1: Latency This test checks the nominal network link latency and packet loss. Example result: *** Latency PING ( ) 56(84) bytes of data ping statistics packets transmitted, 120 receied, 0% packet loss, time ms rtt min/ag/max/mde = /78.491/ /9.872 ms Interpreting the results: The aerage round-trip-time (rtt) was 78.4ms and there was 0% packet loss. The round-trip-time in network topologies may ary, but should neer exceed 200ms on WAN. Contact your network administrator if round-trip-time reports more than 200ms on WAN or 6ms on LAN, as it may significantly decrease throughput. 84 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide

107 Higher latency alues will cause a major deterioration in throughput. Packet loss should be 0%. Any other alue indicates a major network problem. Test 2: Throughput - default settings This test checks maximal TCP throughput using a single data stream with default TCP settings. Example result: *** Throughput - Default TCP [ 3] sec 2.41 GBytes 173 Mbits/sec Interpreting the results: The test ran for seconds, transferred 2.41 GB (2.24 Gb), with an aerage throughput of 173 Mbits/sec. Note: 1 MByte = 1,048,576 bytes. 1 Mbit/sec = 1,000,000 bits/sec.

There may be an improement here on high-latency links. Test 4: Throughput - 16 streams, 1MB send buffer Example result: *** Throughput - 16 TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [SUM] sec 5.91 GBytes 418 Mbits/sec Interpreting the results: The test ran for seconds, transferred 5.91 GB (5.5 Gb), with an aerage throughput of 418 Mbits/sec. The extra streams yielded higher utilization of the connection. Test 5: Throughput streams, 1MB send buffer Example result: *** Throughput TCP stream(s), 1MB send buffer [SUM] sec 8.08 GBytes 550 Mbits/sec Interpreting the results: The test ran for seconds, transferred 8.08 GB (7.53 Gb), with an aerage throughput of 550 Mbits/sec. TCP takes a while to reach its maximal throughput. Longer testing times, 300 seconds or more, will produce more accurate results. The throughput alue gien by this test is the potential physical throughput for this system. It is directly affected by the aailable bandwidth, latency, packet loss and retransmission rate. Chapter 14. ProtecTIER Network Performance Validation Utility for OpenStorage Systems 85

108 The Mbits/sec reported in this test is the maximum throughput your system may achiee. If this number is lower than anticipated, contact your network administrator. Test 6: TCP Retransmissions s. Total TCP segments sent Example result: Number of TCP segments sent: Number of TCP retransmissions detected: (12%) Interpreting the results: A total of TCP segments were sent during the fie tests, out of which, were lost and retransmitted.

Contact your network administrator to resole this issue and reduce it to approximately 0%. What to do next You may want to run these tests again to test the reerse throughput in the network. To run the tests in reerse, change serer1 to the client and serer2 to the serer and repeat the procedures. 86 IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Introduction and Planning Guide
