All-Flash Cache Tier Sizing
 Cache tier should have 10% of the anticipated consumed storage capacity
 Cache is entirely write-buffer in all-flash architecture
 Cache devices should be high write endurance models: Choose 2+ TBW/day or 3650+/5 years
 For highly write intensive workloads, choose 4+ TBW/day or 7300+/5 years
 Total cache capacity percentage should be based on use case requirements.
– For general recommendation visit the VMware Compatibility Guide.
– For write-intensive workloads a higher amount should be configured.
– Increase cache size if expecting heavy use of snapshots
Measurement Requirements Values
Projected VM space usage 20GB
Projected number of VMs 1000
Total projected space consumption per VM 20GB x 1000 = 20,000 GB = 20 TB
Target flash cache capacity percentage 10%
Total flash cache capacity required 20TB x .10 = 2 TB

VMware Virtual SAN
Hardware Solution Design Guidance
Design Overview Considerations
 Ensure that all the hardware used in your design is supported
by checking the VMware Compatibility Guide (VCG)
 Ensure that all software, driver and firmware versions used in
your design are supported by checking the VCG
 Ensure you have a “balanced” configuration across all hosts in
the cluster
 Design for availability. Consider designing with more than three
hosts and additional capacity that enable the cluster to
automatically remediate in the event of a failure
 Design for growth. Consider initial deployment with capacity in
the cluster for future virtual machine deployments, as well as
enough flash cache to accommodate future capacity growth
25
Boot Devices
 What installation device to use:
– Depends on amount of host memory
– Up to 512 GB
– Use SD/USB devices (4GB or greater) as the installation media.
– SATADOM supported for VSAN 6.0 (Specs coming soon)
– 512 GB or greater
– Use a separate magnetic disk or solid stated disk as the installation
device
26
Flash Based Devices
In Virtual SAN ALL read and write operations always go directly to the Flash tier.
Flash based devices serve two purposes in hybrid Virtual SAN
1. Non-volatile Write Buffer (30%)
– Writes are acknowledged when they enter prepare stage on SSD.
– Reduces latency for writes
2. Read Cache (70%)
– Cache hits reduces read latency
– Cache miss – retrieve data from HDD
Flash based devices are used as only write cache in All Flash Virtual SAN
• Reads are performed directly from capacity layer.
Choice of hardware is the #1 performance differentiator between Virtual
SAN configurations.
27
Flash Based Devices
VMware SSD Performance Classes
– ClassA: 2,500-5,000 writes per second
– Class B: 5,000-10,000 writes per second
– Class C: 10,000-20,000 writes per second
– Class D: 20,000-30,000 writes per second
– Class E: 30,000+ writes per second
Examples
– Intel DC S3700 SSD ~36000 writes per second -> Class E
– Toshiba SAS SSD MK2001GRZB ~16000 writes per second
-> Class C
Workload Definition
– Queue Depth: 16 or less
– Transfer Length: 4KB
– Operations: write
– Pattern: 100% random
– Latency: less than 5 ms
Endurance
– 10 Drive Writes per Day (DWPD), and
– Random write endurance up to 3.5 PB on 8KB transfer size
per NAND module, or 2.5 PB on 4KB transfer size per
NAND module
28
Flash Capacity Sizing
 The general recommendation for sizing Virtual SAN's flash capacity is to have 10% of the anticipated
consumed storage capacity before the Number of Failures To Tolerate is considered.
 Total flash capacity percentage should be based on use case, capacity and performance requirements.
– 10% is a general recommendation, could be too much or it may not be enough.
Measurement Requirements Values
Projected VM space usage 20GB
Projected number of VMs 1000
Total projected space consumption per VM 20GB x 1000 = 20,000 GB = 20 TB
Target flash capacity percentage 10%
Total flash capacity required 20TB x .10 = 2 TB

Magnetic Disks (HDD)
• SAS/NL-SAS/SATA HDDs supported
– 7200 RPM for capacity
– 10000 RPM for performance
– 15000 RPM for additional performance
• NL SAS will provide higher HDD controller queue depth at same drive rotational speed and
similar price point
– NL SAS recommended if choosing between SATAand NL SAS
• Differentiate performance between clusters with SSD selection, and SSD:HDD ratio. Rule of
thumb guideline is 10% of anticipated capacity usage
32
Storage Controllers
• SAS/SATA Storage Controllers
– Pass-through or “RAID0” mode supported
– Pass through recommended for simplicity and performance
• Performance using RAID0 mode is controller dependent
– Check with your vendor for SSD performance behind a RAID-controller
• Storage Controller Queue Depth matters
– Higher storage controller queue depth will increase performance
– Greater than 256 Queue depth recommended for all but entry level solution profiles
• Validate number of drives supported for each controller
33
Storage Controllers – RAID0 Mode
• Configure all disks in RAID0 mode
– Flash based devices (SSD)
– Magnetic disks (HDD)
• Disable the storage controller cache
– Allows better performance as cache is controlled by Virtual SAN
• Disks Device cache support
– Flash based devices leverage write through caching
–
• ESXi may not be able to differentiate flash based devices from magnetic devices.
– Use ESXCLI to manually flag the devices as SSD
34
Network
• 1Gb / 10Gb supported for hybrid
– 10Gb shared with NIOC for QoS will support
– If 1GB then recommend dedicated links for Virtual SAN
• 10Gb required forAll Flash
• Jumbo Frames will provide nominal performance increase
– Enable for greenfield deployments
• Consider NIC teaming for availability/redundancy
• Multicast must be configured and functional between all hosts
• Virtual SAN supports both VSS & VDS
– NIOC requires VDS
–
most environments
• Network bandwidth performance has more impact on host evacuation, rebuild times
than on workload performance
35
Firewalls
• Virtual SAN Vendor Provider (VSANVP)
– Inbound and outbound - TCP 8080
• Cluster Monitoring, Membership, and Monitoring Services (CMMDS)
– Inbound and outbound UDP 12345 - 23451
• Reliable Datagram Transport (RDT)
– Inbound and outbound TCP 2233

 Tests were performed using HammerDB with a OLTP workload (e.g. e-
commerce applications, order processing/fulfillment (Amazon, E-bay),
shopping cart creation etc…)
 Out of the box 2 million transaction per minute (TPM)
 Consistently sub-millisecond latency during 1 hr. test
Way more to go
 More TPM can be squeezed out of the box
 Test scale out
 Test database consolidation

  • 21. Virtual SAN Hardware Guidance & Best Practices
  • 22. Build Your own Virtual SAN node Any Server on the VMware Compatibility Guide 4GB to 16GB USB/SD Cards, HDD (for Boot Device) • SSD, HDD, and Storage Controllers must be listed on the VMware Compatibility Guide for VSAN http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=vsan • Hardware combination selected must be supported by server vendor 1Gb/10Gb NIC SAS/SATA Controllers (RAID Controllers must work in “pass-through” or RAID0” mode) SAS/NL-SAS/SATAHDD At least 1 of each VSAN certified components with ultimate solution design flexibility SAS/SATA/PCIe SSD 22
  • 23. VMware Compatibility Guide • Certified Flash Devices, HDD, and Storage Controllers, and Ready Nodes are listed on the VMware Compatibility Guide for VSAN http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=vsan 23
  • 24. VMware Virtual SAN Hardware Solution Design Guidance
  • 25. Design Overview Considerations  Ensure that all the hardware used in your design is supported by checking the VMware Compatibility Guide (VCG)  Ensure that all software, driver and firmware versions used in your design are supported by checking the VCG  Ensure you have a “balanced” configuration across all hosts in the cluster  Design for availability. Consider designing with more than three hosts and additional capacity that enable the cluster to automatically remediate in the event of a failure  Design for growth. Consider initial deployment with capacity in the cluster for future virtual machine deployments, as well as enough flash cache to accommodate future capacity growth 25
  • 26. Boot Devices  What installation device to use: – Depends on amount of host memory – Up to 512 GB – Use SD/USB devices (4GB or greater) as the installation media. – SATADOM supported for VSAN 6.0 (Specs coming soon) – 512 GB or greater – Use a separate magnetic disk or solid stated disk as the installation device 26
  • 27. Flash Based Devices In Virtual SAN ALL read and write operations always go directly to the Flash tier. Flash based devices serve two purposes in hybrid Virtual SAN 1. Non-volatile Write Buffer (30%) – Writes are acknowledged when they enter prepare stage on SSD. – Reduces latency for writes 2. Read Cache (70%) – Cache hits reduces read latency – Cache miss – retrieve data from HDD Flash based devices are used as only write cache in All Flash Virtual SAN • Reads are performed directly from capacity layer. Choice of hardware is the #1 performance differentiator between Virtual SAN configurations. 27
  • 28. Flash Based Devices VMware SSD Performance Classes – ClassA: 2,500-5,000 writes per second – Class B: 5,000-10,000 writes per second – Class C: 10,000-20,000 writes per second – Class D: 20,000-30,000 writes per second – Class E: 30,000+ writes per second Examples – Intel DC S3700 SSD ~36000 writes per second -> Class E – Toshiba SAS SSD MK2001GRZB ~16000 writes per second -> Class C Workload Definition – Queue Depth: 16 or less – Transfer Length: 4KB – Operations: write – Pattern: 100% random – Latency: less than 5 ms Endurance – 10 Drive Writes per Day (DWPD), and – Random write endurance up to 3.5 PB on 8KB transfer size per NAND module, or 2.5 PB on 4KB transfer size per NAND module 28
  • 29. Flash Capacity Sizing  The general recommendation for sizing Virtual SAN's flash capacity is to have 10% of the anticipated consumed storage capacity before the Number of Failures To Tolerate is considered.  Total flash capacity percentage should be based on use case, capacity and performance requirements. – 10% is a general recommendation, could be too much or it may not be enough. Measurement Requirements Values Projected VM space usage 20GB Projected number of VMs 1000 Total projected space consumption per VM 20GB x 1000 = 20,000 GB = 20 TB Target flash capacity percentage 10% Total flash capacity required 20TB x .10 = 2 TB
  • 30. Endurance Guidance for VSAN Hybrid & All Flash 29 SSD Endurance Class SSD Tier TB Writes Per Day TB Writes in 5 years A VSAN All Flash - Capacity 0.2 365 B VSAN Hybrid - Caching 1 1825 C VSAN All Flash – Caching for Medium workloads 2 3650 D VSAN All Flash – Caching for High workloads 4 7300

All Flash Hardware Guidance 30 * Final consolidation ratios TBD based on performance runs VDI-Linked Clones VDI-Full Clones Server High Server Medium Number of VMs per node Up to 200* Up to 200* Up to 120* Up to 60* IOPs per node N/A N/A Up to 80K Up to 60K Raw storage capacity per node 1.6 TB 9.6 TB 12 TB 8 TB CPU 2 * 10 core 2 * 10 core 2 * 12 core 2 * 10 core Memory 256 GB 256 GB 384 GB 256 GB Capacity Tier Flash 4 * 400 GB SSD Endurance Class A or above 12 * 800 GB SSD Endurance Class A or above 12 * 1 TB SSD Endurance Class A or above 8 * 1 TB SSD Endurance Class A or above Caching Tier Flash 1 * 400 GB SSD Performance Class E Endurance Class C or above 2 * 400 GB SSD Performance Class E Endurance Class C or above 2 * 400 GB SSD Performance Class E Endurance Class D or above 2 * 200 GB SSD Performance Class D or above Endurance Class C or above I/O Controller Queue Depth >=256 Queue Depth >=256 Queue Depth >=512 Queue Depth >=256 NIC 10GbE (Jumbo Frames Enabled) 10GbE (Jumbo Frames Enabled) 10GbE 10GbE
  • 32. Magnetic Disks (HDD) • SAS/NL-SAS/SATA HDDs supported – 7200 RPM for capacity – 10000 RPM for performance – 15000 RPM for additional performance • NL SAS will provide higher HDD controller queue depth at same drive rotational speed and similar price point – NL SAS recommended if choosing between SATAand NL SAS • Differentiate performance between clusters with SSD selection, and SSD:HDD ratio. Rule of thumb guideline is 10% of anticipated capacity usage 32
  • 33. Storage Controllers • SAS/SATA Storage Controllers – Pass-through or “RAID0” mode supported – Pass through recommended for simplicity and performance • Performance using RAID0 mode is controller dependent – Check with your vendor for SSD performance behind a RAID-controller • Storage Controller Queue Depth matters – Higher storage controller queue depth will increase performance – Greater than 256 Queue depth recommended for all but entry level solution profiles • Validate number of drives supported for each controller 33
  • 34. Storage Controllers – RAID0 Mode • Configure all disks in RAID0 mode – Flash based devices (SSD) – Magnetic disks (HDD) • Disable the storage controller cache – Allows better performance as cache is controlled by Virtual SAN • Disks Device cache support – Flash based devices leverage write through caching – • ESXi may not be able to differentiate flash based devices from magnetic devices. – Use ESXCLI to manually flag the devices as SSD 34
  • 35. Network • 1Gb / 10Gb supported for hybrid – 10Gb shared with NIOC for QoS will support – If 1GB then recommend dedicated links for Virtual SAN • 10Gb required forAll Flash • Jumbo Frames will provide nominal performance increase – Enable for greenfield deployments • Consider NIC teaming for availability/redundancy • Multicast must be configured and functional between all hosts • Virtual SAN supports both VSS & VDS – NIOC requires VDS – most environments • Network bandwidth performance has more impact on host evacuation, rebuild times than on workload performance 35
  • 36. Firewalls • Virtual SAN Vendor Provider (VSANVP) – Inbound and outbound - TCP 8080 • Cluster Monitoring, Membership, and Monitoring Services (CMMDS) – Inbound and outbound UDP 12345 - 23451 • Reliable Datagram Transport (RDT) – Inbound and outbound TCP 2233 36

  • 76. Key Takeaways Beginning of All Flash VSAN Journey  Tests were performed using HammerDB with a OLTP workload (e.g. e- commerce applications, order processing/fulfillment (Amazon, E-bay), shopping cart creation etc…)  Out of the box 2 million transaction per minute (TPM)  Consistently sub-millisecond latency during 1 hr. test Way more to go  More TPM can be squeezed out of the box  Test scale out  Test database consolidation February 5, 2015 © 2014 SanDisk Corporation | 76
