Hybrid Pools and Easy Tier

Introduction
We will now explore the Easy Tier function of the Storwize V7000. Easy Tier provides for the automatic placement of hot extents to SSDs managed by the cluster. In this lab exercise you will create a hybrid storage pool with both hard disk drive based MDisks and solid state drive based MDisks. Next, you will create volumes within the hybrid storage pool. The IOmeter tool will be used to create IO activity on these volumes hence IO on the underlying drives. We will then monitor utilization. In a later lab, the results will show migration of the hot extents from the HDD-based MDisks to SSD-based MDisks.
Objective
Using Remote Desktop, the system GUI and CLI, you will perform the following tasks: Create a hybrid storage pool to implement Easy Tier technology with SSD-based MDisks Use Easy Tier to evaluate the IO activity of a volume in a single tier pool Create volumes from a hybrid storage pool Map the new volumes to a host and generate IO activity View the distribution of the volume extents in storage pools Use the Storwize V7000 performance monitor to view current utilization of the system

Directions Part 1: Configuring the Storwize V7000 for Easy Tier
The Storwize V7000 GUI displays the Easy Tier setting and status of storage pools. However, to manually change the Easy Tier setting of a pool, the CLI must be used. We will first change the Easy Tier setting for the single tier COLORDS3K_SATApool. ___1. Select the PuTTY icon from the Adminx desktop. Select the COLOR_SWV7K saved session and open the CLI.
___2. List the current storage pools to view their attributes. Locate the COLORDS3K_SATApool entry and note its Easy Tier setting is auto and its status is inactive. Use the following CLI command: lsmdiskgrp delim : IBM_2076:PINK_SWV7K:admin>lsmdiskgrp -delim : id:name:status:mdisk_count:vdisk_count:capacity:extent_size:free_capacity:virtual_capacity :used_capacity:real_capacity:overallocation:warning:easy_tier:easy_tier_status:compressio n_active:compression_virtual_capacity:compression_compressed_capacity:compression_unco mpressed_capacity 0:CHERRY_Hybridpool:online:4:2:4.08TB:256:3.99TB:100.00GB:100.00GB:100.00GB:2:80:aut o:active:no:0.00MB:0.00MB:0.00MB 1:CHERRYDS3K_SASpool:online:3:0:300.00GB:256:300.00GB:0.00MB:0.00MB:0.00MB:0:80: auto:inactive:no:0.00MB:0.00MB:0.00MB 2:CHERRYDS3K_SATApool:online:3:1:120.00GB:256:110.00GB:10.00GB:10.00GB:10.00GB:8:8 0:auto:inactive:no:0.00MB:0.00MB:0.00MB

Part2. Easy Tier and STAT Analysis

Introduction
We will now continue exploration of the Easy Tier function of the Storwize V7000. Easy Tier provides for migration of hot extents to SSD-based MDisks of the cluster. In this lab exercise, we will review changes which have occurred to extent distribution of volumes created in Part1. Also you will use the IBM Storage Advisor Tool to look at current IO utilization on the volumes created in the storage pools.
Edge2013
43
Objective
Using Remote Desktop, the cluster GUI and CLI, you will perform the following tasks: Use of the IBM Storage Tier Advisor Tool (STAT) Examine the results of measurement of IO on volumes and storage pools where Easy Tier is active Examine the results of automatic data placement on volumes and storage pools where Easy Tier is active
Directions
Now lets begin to look at the volumes we created in Part1. We have generated IO on some of our volumes. Lets look at the current state of these disks.
Edge2013
44
The Storwize V7000 GUI shows the MDisks in storage pools and the Easy Tier status. IBM provides a tool to analyze volume utilization. This tool is helpful to understand how SSDs may improve performance in your storage environment.
___1. In Part1, the Easy Tier function was activiated on two storage pools (COLOR_Hybridpool and COLORDS3K_SATAPool). Once Easy Tier is active, the Storwize V7000 will generate a heatmap approximately every 24 hours. The tool will show a heat map for volumes if they are in an Easy Tier state of On or Measured. Recommendations are also included for storage pools with an Easy Tier status of Active. ___2. Enter the following command to verify the Storage Pool Easy Tier status. Easy Tier is active on the COLOR_Hybridpool and COLORDS3K_SATApool. lsmdiskgrp delim :

___12. Review the fields of the system summary. Total Volumes Monitored all volumes with Easy Tier status of On or Measured. What volumes does this include?______________ Total Capacity Monitored total size of monitored volumes where Easy Tier was On or measured. Hot Data Capacity total of extents identified as being hot from collected IO on the monitored volumes. Total Capacity on SSDs/Total SSD capacity total of volumes already on SSDs to the total available SSD drives in the cluster. Does this show that any extents are on SSDs?____________ Estimate Migration time time needed to move hot extents in hybrid pools from HDD to SSD-based MDisks.
Edge2013

Technical Edge 2013 | June 10 14 Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, NV _______________________________________________________________________________ ___13. Now look at the Recommended SSD configuration. These recommendations are the impact on the entire Storwize V7000 cluster if the modifications are made. The pool listed has a storage pool ID of 2.
Recommendation as shown above is to add SSDs to the storage pool.
Edge2013
52
Technical Edge 2013 | June 10 14 Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, NV _______________________________________________________________________________ ___14. Now we will drill down to the storage pool level. These recommendations reflect the improvement on the specific storage pool.
The recommendation is to add one SSD array to the storage pool for up to 60% improvement for volumes in this pool. Adding SSDs to this pool will improve performance by the listed percentage.
Edge2013
53
___15. Now from the STAT GUI, select the Volume Heat Distribution panel. This panel lists all volumes where IO has been measured (Volumes with ET status measured or on). Volume ID Storwize V7000 volume object ID Copy ID volume copy ID Pool ID storage pool ID Configured size volume copy real size in GB Capacity on SSD extents already migrated Heat Distribution RED - extents considered to be hot from the IO measurement BLUE extents considered to be cold
Note, that this volume had hot extents. IO on this volume was less than 64K which reflects it was hot. The actual results you see may not be the same depending on the timing of the heatmap generation and other IO activity.
Edge2013
54
___16. Return to the Storwize V7000 GUI and select Volumes. Select the VW_ET1 volume, right-click and select Properties and click Show Details. Review the current Capacity. The volume now shows extents have migrated from the HDD Tier to the SSD Tier. This was performed by the Automatic Data Placement function. What is the current capacity on the SSD Tier?
Edge2013
55
___17. Next, select Member MDisks and review the current extent distribution of the VW_ET1 volume. The extent distribution is now shown across the SSD and HDD based MDisks. How many extents are on the COLOR_SSD MDisk?
Edge2013
56
___18. Now return to the Iometer tool and click stop. Lets reconfigure to show the performance improvements between the HDD and SSD-based MDisks on small IOs. Click the Iometer stop button to end traffic generation.
Edge2013
57
___19. Return to the Storwize v7000 performance monitor. Set the display to the IOPS option. Toggle between node1 and node2. VW_ET1 is using node2 as it preferred node (and has extents migrated to SSD-based MDisks). VW_ET2 (all extents are allocated on HDDs-based MDisks) has a preferred node of node1. These may be reversed. You may need to verify the correct preferred node either by GUI or CLI. By toggling between the two you can compare the IOPS. What is the difference?
You have completed this lab.
