1 LINUX IO performance tuning for IBM System Storage Location of this document: Markus Fehling Certified IT specialist cross systems Version 1.5 August 2018
2 Table of Contents 1 Abstract Introduction Description of the test environment LINUX IO stack layers Recommendations Measurements V Measurements FS Resources Trademarks Disclaimers Abstract Applications like data bases, backup server, server, video streaming... need a high IO performance. In addition, every application has their own IO characteristics: Small block size or large; random IO, sequential, or a mix of it; mostly read, or mostly write LINUX provides several parameters effecting IO performance significantly. This paper provides guidelines and recommendation how to set these parameters for IBM storage systems, within a SAN environment, by using LINUX LVM2. This document has been written for IT technical specialists with advanced skill levels on LINUX and IBM storage systems. Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Page - 2
3 2 Introduction As mentioned above, different applications have different IO pattern: OLTP: Online Transaction Processing is a typically workload pattern of Enterprise Resource Planning applications. like SAP ERP. Basically, the IO pattern is mostly read, random IO, with a small block size, 32K with IBM DB2, 8K with Oracle data base, 64K with Microsoft SQL Server. OLAP: Online Analytical Processing is used by e.g. business warehouse (BW) applications, read most, with some streaming aspects. SAP HANA: During startup, all data needs to be read from storage into memory (RAM), this workload is random read with large block sizes, 64K up to several MB. During normal operation, the workload shifts to mostly write: streaming write with a small (ERP) or large (BW) block size for LOG, and random write with a 64 KB up to 1 MB block size for DATA. Video broadcasting: The broadcasting server creates a streaming read IO process, typically with large block sizes. 3 Description of the test environment The major goal was to identify the influence of the parameter of LINUX IO stack layer two, three, and four: Figure 1: LINUX IO stack. In 2016 tests were run on SLES 11.4 and RedHat Enterprise LINUX 6.5, on Intel and IBM POWER. An 8 Gbit/s SAN was used, with 8 ports. IBM Storwize V7000 with 120 * HDD 10krpm IBM FlashSystem 900 with 12 * 2.7 TB Flash modules behind Storwize. The IO workload was generated with the tool xdisk, all IO were performed with open() option O_DIRECT, to eliminate effects of the file system cache. The xdisk tool is available on IBM TechDocs, see reference section. In July 2018 a new test was performed on IBM FlashSystem 9100 with 24 NVMe drives, SLES 12.2, on IBM Power 8.

5 The following paragraphs describe the different parameters and their performance impacts. 4.1 File system Today xfs is the most common LINUX file system, therefore all tests have been performed with xfs only. 4.2 LVM2 i. physical volume during our test we used a --dataalignment of 1 MB. It turned out that for one VG four PV deliver good performance. There is some performance difference between two and four PV, but only a minor difference between four and eight. ii. volume group we used only non-mirrored VG; the most significant parameter is --physicalextentsize During our test we tested an extent size range from 64KB up to 1GB. Overall an extent size of 1 MB delivers good performance. iii. logical volume We used striped volumes only, with --stripes equals the number of PV. During our test we tested a stripe size range from 64KB up to 1GB. Overall a stripe size of 256 KB delivers good performance. 4.3 IO scheduler The default scheduler cfq delivers low IO performance for multiple (parallel) streaming read processes, the total performance (MB/s) collapses to a fraction of a single process. We recommend not to use the cfq scheduler. It seems that deadline delivers slightly better performance than noop, special during multiple (parallel) IO operations, but this is neglectable. SAP and SUSE recommend noop as scheduler, so does IBM for storage type Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Page - 5
6 4.4 Number of physical FC connections We run two scenarios: 1. 4 FC connections between FS 900 & Storwize, and 4 connections between Storwize and Server (IBM Power) 2. 8 FC connections between FS 900 & Storwize, and 8 connections between Storwize and Server (IBM Power) There is a measurable performance difference, especially if IO processes are working in parallel; more important, if only 4 FC connections are used the performance is more sensitive to the configuration of the /etc/multipath.conf parameters. 4.5 multipath setting A list of all /etc/multipath.conf settings can be found here: These four parameters impacting the IO performance the most: Parameter path_grouping_policy (pgp) prio rr_weight (rr) path_selector (path) Table 1: multipath parameters Value multibus (multi) group_by_serial (gbs) group_by_prio (gbp) group_by_node_name (gbnn) alua uniform (uni) priorities (prio) round-robin (rr) queue-length (ql) service-time (st) For identifying the best multipath settings, 4 PV and 8 PV have been used, with a PV extent size of 1 MB, and a LV stripe size of 256 kb. The graphics show the performance dependencies based on 8 FC connections. The following table shows the best match for a given workload recommended configuration provides good performance do not use this configuration Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Page - 6

For all tests we set it to 256. find -H /sys/block/*/queue -name nr_requests while read i; do echo 256 > $i; done 4.7 IBM Storwize RAID settings Typically, HDD or SSD are configured as RAID 5 or as RAID 10 (RAID 5 provides ~85% usable capacity, while RAID 10 delivers 50%). Figure 2 shows the RAID 5 performance proportional to RAID 10, both RAIDs had equal number of HDDs. OLTP and sequential operations benefit from RAID 5, while RAID 10 delivers better performance for random writes, like for SAP HANA DATA. Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Page - 8
9 Figure 2: Proportional RAID performance 4.8 FlashSystem settings The number of Volumes, mapped as Managed Disk to IBM Storwize or IBM Spectrum Scale (SVC) is not critical, if they have a reasonable number, and size. 4.9 FS9100 settings Two RAID 6 have been uses as 10+2; one storage pool. Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Page - 9
10 5 Recommendations For IBM storage type 2145, which specifies the IBM Spectrum Virtualize family including SVC, Storwize, and FS9100, use the following recommendation to gain maximum IO performance for LINUX on Intel or IBM POWER, applicable for RedHat LINUX as well as SLES: 1) Use 4 FC connections per canister / RAID controller: 8 FC connections per SVC/Storwize/FlashSystem 2) IO scheduler: noop 3) LVM2 settings: use 4 PV for 1 VG set data alignment to 1 MB set PV extent size to 1 MB set LV stripe size to 256 KB 4) Multipath settings: path_grouping_policy group_by_prio prio alua rr_weight uniform # for HDD priorities # for Flash / SSD path_selector "service-time 0" 5) RAID settings use RAID 6 -- even that was not used for V7000 in 2016, but it is best practices now. Sample /etc/multipath.conf file: devices { device { vendor "IBM" product "2145" path_grouping_policy "group_by_prio" prio "alua" path_checker "tur" path_selector "service-time 0" failback "immediate" rr_weight "priorities" no_path_retry "fail" rr_min_io_rq 10 dev_loss_tmo 600 } } Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Page - 10
11 6 Measurements V7000 This section shows the different performance results; several thousand measurements have been taken, the charts shown here with aggregated data are a small subset to proof the recommendations. 6.1 IO Scheduler Figure 3: Performance of IO scheduler 1/8: number of IO processes, R/S: Random/Sequential, r/w: read/write, 64k/1M: block size Chart 3 shows that with cfq streaming does not scale with large block size, eight streams deliver just 200 MB/s total, while a single stream delivers 900 MB/s. Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Page - 11
12 6.2 LVM2 IO performance matrix: PV extent size X LV stripe size Figure 4: Performance depending on PV extent and LV stripe size Chart 4 shows that the performance does not depend that much on the PV extent and LV stripe size, but the combinations 1MB x 1MB and 1GB x 1MB have performance drops. Figure 5: Performance depending on PV extent and LV stripe size, full matrix Chart 5 shows that any other LV stripe size than 64KB or 128KB delivers equal performance for random writes with large block size. Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Page - 12
13 Figure 6: Performance depending on number PV Charts 6 shows that almost max. performance can be achieved with two PV. 6.3 Performance matrix of dm-multipath There are hundreds of permutations possible, just some interesting has been picked. 8FC SAN connections, deadline scheduler, 4 PV per VG, 256 stripe size, 1MB extent size: Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Page - 13
