4 1 NexentaVSA for View This section includes the following topics: About NexentaVSA for View NexentaVSA for View Components NexentaVSA for View Management Appliance Advantages of using NexentaStor VSA About NexentaVSA for View NexentaVSA for View is a new approach to simplifying and automating virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployments, management, and calibration using virtual storage and VMware View 5.0. NexentaVSA for View integrates with your standard network, VMware vsphere infrastructure, and VMware View to deploy and manage your desktop virtual machines (DVMs). It also provides performance analytics that can be used to improve your VDI. NexentaVSA for View Components NexentaVSA for View is a client/server environment. A Server Agent is installed on the View Connection server with a Desktop Agent in each desktop template on each ESXi server that is dedicated to NexentaVSA for View. A Management Appliance provides a GUI interface and communication with the VMware VDI environment. NexentaVSA for View consists of the following components: NexentaVSA for View Management Appliance provides the NexentaVSA for View management functions. The Management Appliance is installed from an included template and can be located on any ESXi host in the network. NexentaStor VSA is a virtual storage appliance (VSA) that provides storage management for the NexentaVSA for View DVMs through a NexentaVSA for View vsphere plug-in, which communicates with VMware View and VMware vcenter to perform the actual DVM provisioning and management. Administrators interact with NexentaStor VSA using wizards. NexentaStor VSA is installed from an included template on each dedicated NexentaVSA for View ESXi host. NexentaVSA for View Hardware Configuration Reference 1

5 NexentaVSA for View NexentaVSA for View Server Agent handles all communication between NexentaVSA for View and the VMware components. The Server Agent is installed on the View Connection Server. NexentaVSA for View Desktop Agent provides communication between NexentaVSA for View and the DVMs. The Desktop Agent is installed on the desktop template, which is installed on each NexentaVSA for View ESXi host.! Note: The bundled NexentaStor VSA package can only be installed as internal storage on the same ESXi host that deploys the DVMs. The bundled NexentaStor VSA package cannot be installed as external storage. Figure 1-1 shows the NexentaVSA for View components in a typical VDI. Figure 1-1: NexentaVSA for View using NexentaStor VSA NexentaVSA for View Management Appliance The NexentaVSA for View Management Appliance has a web interface with management wizards that allow administrators to simplify DVM deployments and optimize VDI workloads. It uses standard inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms to communicate with the VMware VDI environment. Figure 1-2 illustrates the components of the Management Appliance. NexentaVSA for View Hardware Configuration Reference 2

6 NexentaVSA for View Figure 1-2: NexentaVSA for View Management Appliance Components The Deployment Wizard reduces approximately 150 configuration steps down to four steps. Create NFS and/or ZFS storage from local ESXi storage, including all clustered ESXi servers. Then create DVMs based on this automatically configured storage. The Configuration Wizard helps administrators tune VDI deployments with rapid reconfiguration, during which NexentaVSA for View automatically rebalances DVM and associate storage resources. Based on performance data, calibration settings define the expected ranges for DVMs. The manager identifies the number of DVMs created and added to the pool with each successful iteration. Collected data iteratively improves the threshold knowledge. The Benchmark tools provide unprecedented performance testing through NexentaStor VSA, allowing administrators to continually monitor the performance for the deployed pool. The Calibration capabilities allow administrators to use the benchmark results to fine-tune the resource allocations in order to continually meet performance goals. Advantages of using NexentaStor VSA There are significant advantages to deploying NexentaVSA for View. These include: Improved scalability NexentaVSA for View scales well. As more hypervisors are added to the infrastructure to support more DVMs, more NexentaVSA for View ESXi hosts can be added, each with its own NexentaStor VSA. Reduced network load NexentaStor VSA delivers I/O directly to the hypervisor from within the hypervisor, decreasing network traffic and making I/O performance more consistent. Because no additional network ports are needed for the hypervisor to communicate to storage, fewer slots are needed on the server. NexentaVSA for View Hardware Configuration Reference 3

7 NexentaVSA for View Storage hardware independence Since NexentaVSA for View runs on any supported VMware-compatible hardware, customers can deploy a cost-effective NexentaStor VSA solution without concerns of hardware support. Integrating SSD components either locally or in an attached NFS appliance enable caching, which optimizes VDI performance. Use of ZFS technology Under the direction of NexentaVSA for View, NexentaStor VSA abstracts and pools VMFS volumes as a VSA using ZFS technology. Since VMFS understands which devices are HDDs and SSDs, ZFS can construct a hybrid storage pool, applying fast SSDs as caching devices. The ZFS pool is then exported using NFS to the ESXi hypervisor, allowing the DVMs to access underlying VSA storage. Automatic reconfiguration and resource balancing NexentaVSA for View optimizes the compute, memory, and storage parameters and directs VMware vcenter to create DVMs based on these parameters, characterizing end-to-end performance of each configuration, and reconfiguring and automatically rebalancing resources as necessary. Benchmarking and tuning NexentaVSA for View offers significant advantages in its ability to benchmark and tune VDI deployments and optimize performance for VDI workloads.

8 2 Deployment Scenarios This section includes the following topics: About Deployment Scenarios Floating Desktops Dedicated Desktops About Deployment Scenarios NexentaVSA for View is extremely flexible and can be implemented in small to large VMware deployments using floating DVMs, dedicated DVMs, or a combination of both. Multiple storage volumes can be exported to multiple VMware hypervisors. In this way, storage can be shared across hypervisors to enhance availability. The resources required to deploy DVMs vary depending upon the type (floating or dedicated) and number of DVMs being deployed. Each NexentaVSA for View cluster in the deployment can have a floating user pool or a dedicated user pool. If a NexentaVSA for View cluster contains multiple NexentaVSA for View ESXi hosts, the pool can be shared across the hosts in that cluster.! Note: NexentaVSA for View 1.0 supports one DVM pool per cluster. Each pool must be for floating or for dedicated users; the two user types cannot be combined in the same pool. Floating Desktops Floating desktops, also known as stateless desktops, are used when the capacity requirement is small and the DVM state is not maintained after a user logs out. A floating desktop environment is usually deployed from a single ESXi host and often uses linked clones. The DVMs are cookie-cutter images that contain no personal settings or user-specific data. Floating desktops are built on an as-needed basis, based on the attributes of the user group. Examples are kiosks, classrooms, and office DVMs. This scenario is deal for companies interested in quickly implementing a VDI initiative or populating satellite offices. NexentaVSA for View Hardware Configuration Reference 5

9 Deployment Scenarios Dedicated Desktops Dedicated desktops are persistent, providing each user with his or her own personalized DVM. Any changes made by a user are stored on a network file share or VMware View persistent disk. When users log in again, they are presented with their own unique DVMs. Dedicated desktops are typically assigned to users who need to make changes to their DVM images, such as installing additional applications, customizing settings, and saving data within the desktop image itself rather than to a persistent NFS share or VMware View disk. NexentaVSA for View Hardware Configuration Reference 6

10 3 System Requirements This section includes the following topics: VMware VDI Prerequisites Server Agent, Desktop Agent, and Management Appliance Requirements NexentaVSA for View ESXi Host Requirements VMware VDI Prerequisites Before NexentaVSA for View can be installed, the customer must have a fully installed, configured, and functioning VMware VDI environment that includes the following VMware components, along with all required supporting hardware, software, and networking elements: VMware vsphere 5 with VMware vcenter Server 5 VMware View Manager 5 with Composer The VMware documentation contains a full description of the required hardware, software, and networking elements for the VDI environment. Server Agent, Desktop Agent, and Management Appliance Requirements The NexentaVSA for View Server Agent, Desktop Agent, and Management Appliance are installed as shown below. Table 3-1: Server Agent, Desktop Agent, and Management Appliance Requirements Component Installation Location Additional Requirements NexentaVSA for View Server Agent NexentaVSA for View Desktop Agent NexentaVSA for View Management Appliance View Connection Server VMware View PowerCLI on the View Connection Server Desktop template Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 or later in the desktop template Any ESXi host in the network None NexentaVSA for View Hardware Configuration Reference 7

11 System Requirements NexentaVSA for View ESXi Host Requirements NexentaVSA for View requires at least one dedicated physical machine hosting an ESXi server in the VMware VDI environment, called the NexentaVSA for View ESXi host. This physical machine cannot be used to host additional ESXi servers or any other software or network components required by the VMware VDI environment. NexentaVSA for View ESXi hosts cannot be in a cluster with non-nexentavsa for View ESXi servers. If there is only one NexentaVSA for View ESXi host, it must be in a cluster by itself. All desktops managed by NexentaVSA for View are deployed on a NexentaVSA for View ESXi host. Each NexentaVSA for View ESXi host contains NexentaStor VSA and the desktop template, and must meet the NexentaStor VSA Requirements and the DVM Requirements. NexentaStor VSA Requirements Table 3-2 lists the physical machine resources necessary to run NexentaStor VSA on the ESXi server. Table 3-2: Physical Machine Requirements to run NexentaStor VSA Physical Resource Description Notes HBA (host bus adapters) Minimum: Two 1 GB controllers Recommended: One 10 GB Ethernet controller CPU 4 physical cores minimum per 100 normal floating desktops: 64 bit x86 CPUs, 2.13 GHz or faster, Intel Xeon or AMD Barcelona families The HBAs must support virtualization In addition to VMware ESXi host and DVM deployment requirements Memory 4GB minimum In addition to VMware ESXi host and DVM deployment requirements DVM Requirements Each deployed DVM requires a certain amount of memory and other resources. The total amount of DVM resources required for a deployment depends on the performance requirements, number of DVMs, number of NexentaVSA for View ESXi hosts, type of deployment (floating or dedicated), and other factors. NexentaVSA for View Hardware Configuration Reference 8

12 System Requirements Table 3-3 lists the minimum resources required for a single DVM on the NexentaVSA for View ESXi host. Table 3-3: Virtual Machine Requirements For Each Deployed Desktop Resource Requirement Notes Operating system Microsoft Windows 7 license NIC One virtual NIC For example, a VMXNET3 network adapter HBA LSI logic SAS CPU One vcpu Can be accommodated using hypertrading Memory 800MB to 2GB Allocated, not physical Storage (HDD or SDD) 16GB minimum If you already have a list of the resources required for the NexentaVSA for View ESXi host, and the resources meet the minimum requirements shown above for each DVM, you can use your existing list. If you do not know the resources you need, see the DVM Deployment Recommendations section for guidelines for sizing the DVM resources, along with worksheets and examples. NexentaVSA for View Hardware Configuration Reference 9

13 4 DVM Deployment Recommendations This section includes the following topics: General DVM Deployment Recommendations Recommendations for Allotting Physical Resources for Floating Desktops Worksheet for Estimating Resources for Normal Floating Users Example of Worksheet for Estimating Resources for Normal Floating Users General DVM Deployment Recommendations Each NexentaVSA for View ESXi host must have enough resources to deploy the required number of desktops on that host. The actual resource requirements depend on the type of DVM (floating or dedicated) and the expected level of use (normal user or power user). In addition, there are several default NexentaVSA for View settings and recommendations that can affect how you deploy NexentaVSA for View in a VDI environment. The following recommendations are used in the formulas and examples in this section. The default NexentaStor VSA setting for floating desktops uses RAID10 (mirrored stripes). All formulas for estimating disk size in this document include the extra space required for RAID10. Use 15K RPM disks. A normal floating desktop requires 7-20 IOPS with an average read and write latency under 20 ms. Install NexentaStor VSA on SSD. It is recommended to mirror the cache. For physical resources, always round up the result to the next available commercial size. In general, increasing memory, disk, and cache size improves performance. When estimating physical resources, you can generally overbook the allocation based on the typical number of concurrent users. If you overbook, you can use fewer resources than calculated. When estimating core requirements for DVM usage, you can lower the calculated estimate by up to 50% if hypertrading is enabled on the ESXi host. If you are using shared pools, divide the number of DVMs by the number of ESXi hosts sharing the pool to obtain the number of DVMs per host used in the calculations. For example, if two ESXi hosts share a pool of 100 DVMs, each ESXi host has 50 DVMs. NexentaVSA for View Hardware Configuration Reference 10

14 DVM Deployment Recommendations Recommendations for Allotting Physical Resources for Floating Desktops Table 4-1 provides recommendations for allotting physical resources to normal floating desktops on an ESXi host, based on the DVM requirements shown in Table 3-3. These resources are in addition to the requirements for an ESXi host and for NexentaStor VSA. Table 4-1: Recommendations for Physical Resources for Floating Normal Desktops Resource Recommendation Notes Physical CPUs on ESXi Host Recommended: 8 DVMs per core A normal floating DVM utilizes 15% to 25% of a Maximum: 14 DVMs per core physical CPU. Physical Memory on ESXi Host #DVMs x [RAM per DVM] = total RAM 70%-80% of DVM memory is in physical memory. to deploy DVMs on this ESXi host For DVMs requiring less than 1GB RAM, use 1GB. Do not round up this result For DVMs requiring more than 1GB RAM, use 2GB. Physical HDD Requirement on ESXi Host Preliminary HDD Requirement #DVMs x (template size + 4GB) x [performance multiplier] x 2 = preliminary HDD requirement to deploy DVMs on this ESXi host Do not round up this result Number of Physical HDDs #DVMs / [number of DVMs per HDD] = number of HDDs on this ESXi host Round up result to the next whole number Size of Each Physical HDD [preliminary HDD requirement] / [number of HDDs] = preliminary size of each HDD on this ESXi host Round up result to the next commercially available HDD size The 4GB is for user information. The performance multiplier leaves room on the disk for the VMware overhead. The minimum recommended multiplier is 1.25 to give 20% free space. You can increase the multiplier to leave more free space for higher performance. Multiply by 2 because of RAID10. Allocate 10 (recommended) to 13 (maximum) DVMs per HDD. This provides a good level of IOPS for normal users on floating desktops. Round up the result to the nearest whole number. For example, if you have 100 DVMs and are allocating 13 DVMs per HDD, the result is Round this up to 8 HDDs on this host. Round up the preliminary HDD size to the nearest commercially available size. For example, if the preliminary HDD requirement is 3.8TB and you need 8 HDDs, the preliminary HDD size is 486.4GB. Round this up to 600GB. NexentaVSA for View Hardware Configuration Reference 11

15 DVM Deployment Recommendations Table 4-1: Recommendations for Physical Resources for Floating Normal Desktops Resource Recommendation Notes Total Physical HDD Requirement [rounded-up HDD size] x [roundedup number of HDDs on this host] = requirement to deploy DVMs on this host would be 8 Using the examples above, the full HDD total physical HDD requirement to HDDs at 600GB each. deploy DVMs on this ESXi host Physical SDD Requirement on ESXi Host 4GB + [template size] + cache = recommended SDD size where the cache = 4GB + (#DVMs x 125MB) OR 2 x (4GB + (#DVMs x 125MB)) Round up result to the next commercially available SSD size. The 4GB is the installed size of NexentaStor VSA. The formula (#DVMs x 125MB) is the size of the NexentaStor VSA memory store. If the cache is mirrored, multiply the NexentaStor VSA memory store by 2 before adding it to installed size of NexentaStor VSA and the template size. Worksheet for Estimating Resources for Normal Floating Users Table 4-2 is a worksheet to assist you in estimating the physical resources needed to deploy a given number of floating desktops for normal users on a NexentaVSA for View ESXi host. The worksheet is based on the recommendations listed in Table 4-1. The resources calculated here must be installed on the NexentaVSA for View ESXi host in addition to any other resources. You need the following information for this worksheet: Number of DVMs on this host: Memory (RAM) per DVM (recommended 1GB or 2GB): GB Desktop template size: GB Performance multiplier (recommended 1.25): Number of DVMs per HDD (recommended 10, maximum 13): Does the cache on the SDD use mirroring?
