HP 3PAR virtualization concept (1 of 3)
• Node pairs
− Nodes are added in pairs for cache
redundancy
• Cache persistence
− A storage system with four or more nodes
supports “cache persistence” which enables
maintenance windows and upgrades without
performance penalties
• Point-to-point connectivity
− Drive chassis are point-to-point connected to
controller nodes in the StoreServs to provide
“cage level” availability to withstand the loss
of an entire drive enclosure without losing
access to data

HP 3PAR virtualization concept (2 of 3)

• V-series and T-series drive magazines hold four

of the same drives
− SSD, FC, or SATA
− size
− speed
• SSD, FC, SATA drive magazines can be mixed
• A minimum configuration has two magazines
per enclosure
• Each physical drive is divided into “chunklets”
− 1024MB for StoreServ series
− 256 MB for T-series and F-series

23 © Copyright 2014 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
HP 3PAR virtualization concept (3 of 3)

• RAID sets are built across enclosures and

massively striped to form logical disks
(LDs)
• LDs are equally allocated to controller
nodes
• LDs are bound together to build a host
presentable virtual volume/LUN
• Each virtual volume is automatically wide-
striped across “chunklets” on all disk
spindles of the same type creating a
massively parallel system
• Virtual volumes can now be presented as
24
LUNs to servers

StoreServ 7000
Specifically for the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000:
• Disk chassis are not connected point to point
– Shared SAS backend
• Cage level availability
• Does not use magazines
– Individual nearline drives
• Node chassis has an integrated disk shelf

HP 3PAR thin technologies leadership overview
• Built-in
– HP 3PAR utility storage is built from the ground up to support thin
provisioning (ThP) by eliminating the diminished performance and
functional limitations that plague bolt-on thin solutions.
• In-band
– Sequences of zeroes are detected by the 3PAR ASIC and not written to
disks. Most other vendors ThP implementation write zeroes to disks,
some can reclaim space as a post-process.
• Reservation-less
– HP 3PAR ThP draws fine-grained increments from a single free space
reservoir without pre-dedication of any kind. Other vendors ThP
implementation require a separate, pre-dedicated pool for each data
service level.
Integrated
– API for direct ThP integration in Symantec File System, VMware, Oracle
ASM and others

Thin your online SAN storage up to

75%
• A practical and effective solution to
eliminate costs associated with:
– Storage arrays and capacity
– Software licensing and support
– Power, cooling, and floor space
• Unique 3PAR Gen3/4 ASIC with built-in
zero detection delivers:
– Simplicity and speed – Eliminate the time and
complexity of getting thin
– Choice - Open and heterogeneous migrations
for any-to-3PAR migrations
– Preserved service levels – High performance

HP 3PAR thin conversion – Get thin
How to get there
• Defragment source data
– If you are going to do a block level migration via an appliance or host volume manager
(mirroring) you should defragment the file system prior to zeroing the free space
– If you are using file system copies to do the migration the copy will defragment the
files as it copies eliminating the need to defragment the source file system
• Zero existing volumes via host tools
– On Windows use sdelete –z <drive letter>
– On UNIX/Linux use dd script

32 © Copyright 2014 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
HP 3PAR thin persistence – Stay thin
Keep your array thin over time
• Non-disruptive and application-transparent
“re-thinning” of thin provisioned volumes
• Thin “insurance” against unexpected or
thin-hostile application behavior
• Returns space to thin provisioned volumes and
to free pool for reuse
• Unique Gen4 ASIC with built-in zero detection
– Simplicity
• No special host software required
• Leverage standard file system tools/scripts to write
zero blocks
– Preserved service levels
• Zeroes detected and unmapped at line speeds
• Integrated automated reclamation with Symantec and
Oracle

HP 3PAR thin persistence – Manual thin reclaim
Remember: deleted files still occupy disk space

Initial state: After a while:

• LUN1 and 2 are ThP Vvols • Files deleted by the servers/file system still
• Data 1 and 2 is actually written data occupy space on storage

Zero-out unused space: Run Thin Reclamation:

• Windows: sdelete • Compact CPG and logical disks
• Unix/Linux: dd script • Freed-up space is returned to the free

Partnered with Symantec

Jointly developed a thin API—an industry first!

• File system / array communication API (write same)
• Most elements now captured as part of emerging T10 SCSI
standard

HP has introduced API to other operating system

vendors and offered development support
• VMware
• Microsoft

pair desired *
RAID 0 n/a n/a n/a
RAID 1 1:1; 1:2 6 2; 3
RAID 5 2:1 to 8:1 8 3 to 9

* Note of HA Mag/HA Cage 14:2
• The default availability level is HA Mag, which ensure the standard RAID protection in order to survive drives
failures as covered by the RAID level (industry standard)
• HA Cage provide an optional higher availability level (industry unique). If chosen, HA cage will ensure that
the volume can survive a full drive enclosure failure. For HA Cage to work there needs to be a minimum
amount of drive enclosures and drives distribute equally across all of these.
• HA Mag and HA Cage can be chosen individually for every CPG (Common Provisioning Group)

HP 3PAR Virtual Lock
HP 3PAR virtual lock software prevents alteration and
deletion of selected virtual volumes for a specified
period of time
Supported with :
• Fat and thin virtual volumes
• Full copy, virtual copy and remote copy
Locked virtual volumes cannot be overwritten
Locked virtual volumes cannot be deleted, even by a HP
3PAR storage system administrator with the highest
level privileges
Because it is tamper-proof, it is also a way to avoid
administrative mistakes

VMware vStorage VAAI
Caveats
The VMFS data mover does not leverage hardware offloads
and instead uses software data movement if:
• The source and destination VMFS volumes have different block sizes
• The source file type is RDM and the destination file type is non-RDM (regular file)
• The source VMDK type is eagerzeroedthick and the destination VMDK type is thin
• The source or destination VMDK is any sort of sparse or hosted format
• The source Virtual Machine has a snapshot
• The logical address and/or transfer length in the requested operation are not aligned to the minimum
alignment required by the storage device
– all datastores created with the vSphere Client are aligned automatically
• The VMFS has multiple LUNs/extents and they are all on different arrays
• Hardware cloning between arrays (even if within the same VMFS volume) does not work
