Caching Algorithms
29
Superior Caching Efficiency and Performance

DS8000 uses 4 KB cache slot size
Superior efficiency versus 16 or 64 KB slots used by some vendors Benefits include larger effective cache due to smaller cache slot size
Open Systems LUN OR
System z 3390 Device

Experience has taught me
Self learning algorithms

Adaptively and dynamically learns what data should be stored in cache based upon recent access and frequency of access
Should I keep this data? What data is needed next by the host?
DS8000 Intelligent Caching
30
Cache Algorithms
Sequential Adaptive Replacement Cache (SARC)
Self tuning algorithm to support a mix of sequential and random I/O streams SARC determines When data is copied into cache Which data is copied into the cache Which data is evicted when the cache becomes full How to adapt the algorithm to differing workloads Not just least recently used, but also how frequently referenced Resists tendency to store one time use sequential data in cache
Adaptive Multi-Stream Pre-fetching (AMP)

Complements SARC by managing sequential read pre-fetch cache Determines when and what should be pre-fetched Addresses pre-fetch waste When pre-fetched data is evicted from cache before it is used Avoids cache pollution When less useful data is pre-fetched instead of more useful data
31
Intelligent Write Caching

Intelligent Write Caching (IWC)
Improves performance through better write cache management and better destage order of writes Based on two well known algorithms CLOCK and CSCAN
How IWC Works:

Organize write groups into a sorted order forming a clock Clock hand moves clockwise destaging write groups in order Write groups are created with bit initialized to 0 Clock hand can only destage groups with bit 0 When clock hand encounters a write group with bit 1, it resets bit to zero and skips it On a write to an existing group (write hit), set the bit to 1
Head and Tail are glued to form a SORTED CLOCK

Individual DDMs Logical Grouping of 8 DDMs of same speed and capacity Arrays One 8-DDM Array Sites used to construct one RAID5, RAID-6 or RAID10 array
Array Sites Array

RAID5 or RAID-6 or RAID10
Ranks
One Array becomes one CKD or FB Rank Available space in rank divided into extents
An extent is the minimum allocation unit when a LUN or CKD volume is created (FB = 1GB, CKD = 1113 cylinders)
CKD or FB
Extent Pools
1-N Ranks form an Extent Pool
Min of 2 pools1 each for server0 and server1 Max of 1 pool for each rank
Extent Pool
All Extents in a Pool are same storage type (CKD/FB); same RAID recommended Associated with server0 or server1

Logical Volumes
Fixed Block LUNs
Composed of one or more 1 GB extents from an extent pool LUNs cannot span multiple extent pools LUNs can have extents from different ranks within the same extent pool LUNs can have a maximum size of 16 TB Can contain up to 64K FB LUNs
CKD Volumes
Composed of 3390 model 1, which has 1113 cylinders When defining, specify the number of cylinders not extents Standard CKD volumes up to 65,520 cylinders (55.6 GB) and with EAV, up to 1,182,006 cylinders (1 TB) Can contain up to 65,280 volumes
Considerations
When creating FB LUNs, create LUNs that are a multiple of 1 GB to avoid spatial waste When creating CKD volumes, create volumes that are a multiple of 1113 cylinders to avoid spatial waste Total of 64K volumes (CKD + FB)
36
Storage Pool Striping (aka Rotate Extents)

Storage Pool Striping is an algorithm choice for volume creation which allows for better backend disk utilization Volumes are created by allocating one Extent from available Ranks in an Extent Pool, in a round-robin fashion At right - 7 GB Volume showing the order of Extent allocation CKD and Fixed Block exists in separate extent pools The next volume will be started from an extent on the next rank in the round-robin rotation

Additional ranks can be added to the extent pool as needed
37
Volume Groups and Hosts

Volumes are grouped as necessary to create a volume group. The same volume can be present in multiple volume groups as needed to support application requirements
Common to share volumes among clustered servers
A host is defined by its world-wide port name (WWPN) Hosts must contain at least one WWPN and many servers attached to DS8000s have multiple hosts
Multiple host ports are balanced using MPIO or Subsystem Device Driver (SDD).
Volumes are assigned to the host by connecting the volume group to the host
38
Example Host Attachment & Volume Groups

WWPN-1 WWPN-2 Host Attachment: AIXprod1 WWPN-3 WWPN-4
Volume Group: DB2-1
Volume Group: DB2-2
Host Attachment: AIXprod2

Benefits of Storage Virtualization

Flexible LSS definition allows maximization and optimization of the number of devices per LSS No strict relationship between RAID ranks and LSSs
Up to 255 LSSs available in DS8000
No connection of LSS performance to underlying storage Number of LSS can be defined based on device number requirements
Increased number of logical volumes up to 65,280 (FB and CKD)

Increased logical volume size
CKD up to 1 TB FB up to 16 TB
Flexible RAID options (RAID-5, RAID-6 and RAID-10)

Benefits of Storage Virtualization (continued)

Extent pools used to create FB and CKD volumes Virtualization provides the capability to
Enable storage pool striping Dynamically add and remove volumes Dynamic volume expansion Dynamic extent pool merging using Easy Tier Dynamic volume relocation using Easy Tier Dynamically rebalance hot spots within homogeneous pools

Pause/Resume Volume Migration

Pause puts volume in migration paused configuration state and stops initiation of any new extent migrations on a volume Resume puts volume in migrating configured state and continues migration
Cancel Volume Migration

Nullifies volume migration if it has not started and puts volume in normal configuration state Stops volume migration if it has started and puts volume in migration cancelled configuration state. Can request migrate volume to source or target extent pool to retry.
Merge Extent Pool

Moves all volumes in the source extent pool to the target extent pool Deletes source extent pool if merge is successful
Rank Depopulation
Can use Easy Tier to depopulate a rank and remove from an extent pool Automatic, non-disruptive and transparent to host access
59
Easy Tier Supported Environment

Supported in DS8700 R5.1+ and DS8800 R6.1+ Automatic Mode and Volume migration supported on standard logical volumes
Track Space Efficient (TSE) volumes are not Easy Tier managed
Can reside in an extent pool managed by Automatic Mode Volume migration is not supported on space efficient volumes
Cannot migrate between extent pools on different storage images (0 / 1) Copy services considerations
Easy Tier optimization of data on the primary system is not reflected at the secondary
Can merge any two extent pools except:

Both must be same extent type (CKD or Fixed Block) At most, one of two extent pools can have a space efficient repository At most, one of one of two extent pools can have virtual capacity Not allowed if one extent pool is homogeneous with SSD disks and additionally has space efficient repository or virtual capacity configured
Easy Tier automatic mode is not supported on encryption capable storage facilities however Easy Tier manual mode is supported
60
Easy Tier Copy Services

Copy services is not aware of Easy Tier data optimization
Any manual volume level migrations should be performed on both the primary and secondary system In the event of a failover, data optimized as primary and secondary reflect the same data placement In Automatic Mode, relocation of extents on the primary system is not reflected at the secondary I/O workload being collected at the primary and secondary are different
Normal production workloads to the primary versus write only to the secondary Easy Tier will make different optimization decisions for the different workload profiles
Applies to Metro Mirror, Global Mirror and z/OS Global Mirror Will take time to get to an optimized environment in the event of a failover Easy Tier will have to analyze the production workload, relearn and redistribute data based on this workload
Easy Tier will manage Thin Provisioned volumes
61
Easy Tier Workload Considerations

Implementation Characteristics
Extent size is 1 GB on FB, Mod 1 on CKD Automatic mode plan generation window is 24 hours
Some workloads may not benefit significantly from Automatic Mode

Hot spots are small in size and uniformly distributed across extents such that all extents exhibit equal temperatures
Hot spots vary over time such that they are uniformly distributed given a large enough monitoring period
Critical workload to be performance optimized is intermixed with other workloads that result in a non-optimal extent placement
May be able to turn off monitoring in time windows where non-critical workloads are affecting statistics in an undesirable manner (e.g. batch windows, off-shift or weekend workloads, month-end processing, etc.)

DS8000 I/O Priority Manager Controls

I/O Priority Manager Modes
Disabled Monitor, Monitor+SNMP Manage, Manage+SNMP
I/O Priority Manager performance policies and groups

There is a set of pre-defined performance policies, subset into performance groups for monitoring
One Default Performance Group No Monitoring / No Management 5 High Priority Performance Groups Monitor/Manage 5 Standard Performance Groups Monitor/Manage 5 Low Priority Performance Groups Monitor/Manage Existing or newly created volumes default to the default performance group unless another performance group is specified
All logical volumes are associated with a single performance group
Performance statistics and SNMP traps can be obtained for a performance group that is monitored or managed I/O operations are managed in a performance group that is managed
Same policy applied to all I/O for a given volume based on performance policy for its associated performance group
72
DS8000 I/O Priority Manager Principles

Certain resources affect I/O response time and/or throughput
A given resource has a certain capacity to process I/O operations When the workload is below the maximum capacity of the resource, average I/O operation response times are typically in the nominal response range When the workload approaches the maximum capacity of the resource, I/Os end up getting queued and the average I/O response times can grow significantly above the nominal response range It is possible to proactively manage queuing of I/O operations on the resource to give priority to critical I/O operations at the expense of less critical I/O operations Production versus development Critical versus business as usual applications
I/O priority manager can add a delay to any given I/O

By delaying some I/O, other I/Os get more throughput and better access to resources or available processing power By applying policies to determine which I/Os to consider delaying or how much to delay, the more important I/O operations are given appropriate consideration when there is resource contention I/Os are only considered for delay when there is contention for a resource that they require
73
DS8000 I/O Priority Manager Operation

When monitoring or management is enabled
Behavior of disk rank stage/destage operations is monitored to detect when rank is running at saturation (Very High Usage) If SNMP alerts are enabled, an alert is sent as resource enters saturation level
When management is enabled

I/O operations in a performance group that is managed and that are associated with a rank that is not close to saturation are not delayed I/O operations in a performance group that is managed and that are associated with a rank that is close to saturation (High Usage) may be delayed based the performance policy I/O with Low Priority performance policy is impacted as needed to improve QoS of Standard and High Priority I/O I/O with Standard performance policy is impacted less than Low Priority, and only if needed to improve the QoS of High Priority I/O with High Priority performance policy is not impacted I/O with default priority performance policy is not impacted
74
CKD Rank Contention

SLOW
With z/OS software support

User assigns application priorities via WLM
z/OS assigns an importance value to each I/O based on WLM inputs z/OS assigns an achievement value to each I/O based on prior history of I/O response times for I/O with same importance and based on WLM expectations for response time Importance and achievement value on I/O associates this I/O with a performance policy On ranks in contention, I/O is managed according to I/Os performance policy

75
DS8000 I/O Priority Manager Statistics

Each Performance Group has statistics for a set of volumes Multiple performance groups per performance policy to manage different sets of volumes Performance statistics samples are generated every 60 seconds
The DS8000 maintains statistics for last
60 1-minute intervals 60 5-minute intervals 60 15-minute intervals 60 1-hour intervals 60 4-hour intervals 60 1-day intervals
Statistics can be offloaded DS/CLI or DS/GUI query

DS8000 I/O Priority Manager with Easy Tier

I/O Priority Manager and Easy Tier provide complementary benefits I/O Priority Manager attempts to:
make sure the most important I/O operations get serviced when a given rank is overloaded by the workload on the storage system
Easy Tier Automatic Mode attempts to:

Locate allocated extents on a storage tier that is appropriate for the frequency of host access to maximize the throughput of the most active extents. Relocate extents between ranks within a storage tier to distribute the workload evenly the across available ranks and avoid rank overloading.

82
Thin Provisioning
83
Thin Provisioning
Thin provisioning allows a storage system to provide a volume to an application that is larger than the actual space consumed
When a thin provisioned volume is assigned to a host, the host sees the whole (virtual) capacity of the volume, as if it were a fully-provisioned volume
As application data is written to the volume:

The disk subsystem then backs the volume with real capacity All I/O activities performed by the storage subsystem to allocate space when needed are fully transparent to the host
84
Full Provisioned Volume Versus Thin Provisioned Volumes

Full provisioned volumes
Consume the full amount of disk space that is allocated in the lun regardless of the amount of data stored on the disk
Thin provisioned volumes

Only consume the amount of space that the application has written to the disk As additional space is consumed, the DS8000 will provide additional space in 1 GB increments
85
Benefits of Thin Provisioning

Reduced storage management efforts
Exploiting over-provisioning in file systems, databases, logical volume managers without the underlying physical capacity to be present Real capacity can be added automatically and transparently later as required
Improved capacity utilization

Physical capacity does not get allocated until actually used Unused capacity for a set of volumes resides in a shared pool of overall available capacity Contingency capacity can therefore be shared between this set of volumes

Parallel Access Volumes (PAV)

PAVs were originally introduced in 1999 with the introduction of the Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) Allows System z applications to share the same logical device by creating an alias for the base device
3 variations on PAVs
Static Alias is always bound to same base device Dynamic Uses Workload Manager to dynamically allocate aliases from a shared pool HyperPAVs More efficient than dynamic PAVs. Each System z image has its own pool
Reduces the total number of aliases needed for a given workload z/OS reacts quicker to I/O workload changes Overhead of managing aliases is reduced as Workload Manager is not involved in assigning/moving aliases
z/VSE supports PAVs z/OS, z/VM and Linux for System Z support PAV and HyperPAV

MIDAWs
Originally Introduced by IBM on the System z9 processor Improves FICON performance
Allows ECKD channel programs to read and write to many storage locations using one channel command Improves the performance of sequential I/Os using 4K data sets, especially when using extended format data sets Eliminates the extended format penalty and shrinks the small DB2 page size performance penalty. MIDAWs implemented by Media Manager Noticeable improvements for:
Extended format data sets accessed through Media Manager DB2 Extended format VSAM files
Benefit: Lower utilization of FICON channel, link and control unit

High Performance FICON Introduction

High Performance FICON for System z (zHPF) is a new data transfer protocol that is optionally employed for accessing data from an IBM DS8000 storage subsystem
Data accessed by DB2, PDSE, VSAM, zFS, QSAM, BSAM, BPAM and Extended Format SAM can benefit from the improved transfer technique
zHPF may help reduce the infrastructure costs for System z I/O by efficiently utilizing I/O resources so that fewer CHPIDs, fibers, switch ports and control unit ports may be needed
zHPF also compliments the System z EAV strategy for growth by increasing the I/O rate capability as the volume sizes expand vertically

High Performance FICON Highlights

Maximum Application Benefit for Typical OLTP Workloads
Optimize DB2 Performance. Media Manager builds a new type of Channel Program
Transport Control Word (TCW) instead of Command Control Word (CCW)
Use simpler protocols to encapsulate channel programs while preserving the enterprise class qualities of service of FICON Complex channel programs continue to use CCW Chains with base FICON protocols
Maximum I/O rate for a channel with a simple 4KB read hit benchmark doubles with zHPF
Realistic production workloads with a mix of data transfer sizes may see up to 30% savings in channel utilization compared to FICON Sequential workloads that transfer up to a single track (for example, 12 x 4KB per I/O) may also benefit OLTP Workloads that exploit zHPF could see up to 30% improvement in DS8000 throughput
107
High Performance FICON (zHPF)

Improve FICON Scale, Efficiency and RAS
As the data density behind a CU and device increase, scale I/O rates and bandwidth to grow with the data
Significant improvements in I/O rates for OLTP Improved I/O bandwidth New ECKD commands for improved efficiency
Improved first failure data capture Additional channel and CU diagnostics for MIH conditions
Value
Reduce the number of channels, switch ports, control unit ports and optical cables required to balance CPU MIPS with I/O capacity Reduce elapsed times (DB2, VSAM) 2X
108
High Performance FICON Highlights (continued)

Compatibility Between Existing CCWs and New TCWs

End-to-end I/O Priority

Introduced to the SCSI T10 standards body by IBM Allows a trusted application to override the priority given to each I/O by the operating system
Normally all I/O requests inherit the priority of the AIX process
DB2 on AIX exploits this function DS8000 host adapter will give preferential treatment to higher priority I/O
116
Cooperative Caching
Cooperative caching allows a trusted host application to provide cache hints to the DS8000
For example, DB2 can tell DS8000 that recently accessed data will unlikely be accessed again soon so DS8000 can destage and use cache slots for data more likely to be reaccessed again soon
Currently supported by AIX and DB2 on DS8000 System p servers with AIX, MPIO and the Path Control Module exploit this function Raw file systems and AIX 64-bit kernel
117
Long Busy Wait Host Tolerance

SCSI long busy wait is another SCSI T10 standard Hosts are notified that port is in long busy and DS8000 provides status response on how long the initiator should wait before retry AIX on System p uses this status response to reduce retries and to prevent exceeding retry threshold set.

You have to be able to defend against all threats rather than just respond to intrusions Preventing data breaches and inappropriate data disclosure, while ensuring no impact on business and productivity Intrusions that affect customer confidence and business productivity. Security breaches can destroy your brand image and affect your critical business processes Growing demand for regulatory compliance and reporting. You must be able to meet a growing number of compliance initiatives without diverting resources from core activities Protecting your data and maintaining appropriate levels of access
Security issues are both internal and external. How do you protect against the well-intentioned employee who mishandles information, and the malicious outsider?
Having your business comply with a growing number of corporate standards and government regulations; you must have tools that can document the status of your application security Growing number of regulatory mandates. You have to prove that your physical assets are secure
125
Why Encrypt Disks in the Storage Unit

Breach of Security is defined as the loss of confidentiality (secret data exposed), integrity (unauthorized users modifying data), or availability (system unusable) The DS8000 Full Drive Encryption (FDE) features address data confidentiality
Active authentication mechanisms in place while storage in use This disappears when equipment is removed from environment (and no one should be authorized access to this data) DDM replacement
Lease expiration
Logical volume does not equal physical volume

Not all customer data resident on disk is host accessible
Secure erasure is an option
Encryption is an option
126
Whats on a data disk in the DS8000?

What if we removed a disk from the DS8000? (Assuming the disk isnt a spare) What makes this different than a disk from a PC?
Disk and Logical Volume Meta-data, available extents Data written on 256KB strips One part in 3 or 4 if RAID10 array format One part in 6 or 7 if RAID 5 array format Rotating Parity (one strip in 7 or 8 disks is parity) Possible RAID rank types (5, 6, 10) Minimum Logical Volume size, one extent=1GB(binary)=4096 strips

Encryption for Data at Rest

The DS8000 uses special drives, known as Full Drive Encryption (FDE) to encrypt data at rest Data is always encrypted on write to the drive and decrypted on read. Data stored on the drive is encrypted
Drives do the encryption at full data rate so no impact to disk response times using AES 128 bit encryption
Protection for disk removal (repair, replace or stolen) Protection for disk subsystem removal (retired, replaced or stolen)
Requires authentication with key server before access to data is granted

Key management is via IBM Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM) Key exchange with TKLM is via 256 bit encryption z/OS can also use IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager (ISKLM)
128
IBM Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM)

The TKLM works with IBM encryption-enabled storage devices in generating, protecting, storing and maintaining encryption keys that are used to encrypt information being written to and decrypt information being read from storage media. TKLM executes in the IBM Java run time environment and it uses IBM Java security components for the cryptographic capabilities used. Supported Operating Systems TKLM
AIX 5.3 and 6.1 Red Hat AS 4.0 Red Hat AS 5.0 Suse Linux 9, 10, 11 Solaris 9, 10 Sparc Windows Server 2003 or 2008 z/OS V1 R9, R10, or R11+
(TKLM Version 1, hosted in the System Services Runtime Environment for z/OS)
Designed to be Easy to use

Provide a Graphical User Interface
Initial configuration wizards
Easy backup and restore of TKLM files

One button, single jar file
Lifecycle functions
Notification of certificate expiry Automated rotation of groups of keys
Same TKLM can be used with IBM DS8000, DS5000, and IBM tape Products from Emulex, Brocade and LSI also work with TKLM
129
TKLM continued
The keys used by TKLM are a public/private asymmetric key pair referred to as the public Key Encrypting Key (KEK) and the private Key Encrypting Key (KEK), respectively.
The key generation and propagation processes on the TKLM, associate a Key Label to each wrap/unwrap pair This Key Label is a user specified text string and retained with each wrap/unwrap pair Key negotiation and authentication between TLKM and the DS8000 take place at DS8000 power on.
One TKLM key server can easily handle multiple DS8000s and DS5000s, the network traffic requirement is small
Two TKLM servers are required to prevent a deadlock condition
130

Accessing the FlashCopy Target

Target can be brought online and made available for read and write as soon as FlashCopy relationship is established
Before physical copying is complete Optionally can prohibit write access to target If target is changed, this alters the Point-in-Time image Immediately begin tape backup, testing remote mirroring etc. from Point-in-Time image
Target can be brought online to a different server

Reduce production server impact If brought on to same server, need to change duplicate volume ID or volume table of contents information
142

Why Use FlashCopy with Background Copy?

If there is a heavy change rate or a long time between FlashCopies
Background copy will be more efficient than Copy-on-Write for full volume copy
If there is concern about the impact of FlashCopy target access on source volume, and there is a window of low activity
FlashCopy with background copy may be completed during the window After copy is complete, there is no impact to source volume when target is accessed
If there is a requirement to make a FlashCopy of the FlashCopy target

A FlashCopy target cannot be the source of another FlashCopy at the same time (FlashCopy cascading is not supported) e.g. Backup copy for test

Relatively short-lived Physical disk copy is not needed
Reduce FlashCopy target disk space requirements

Allows use of Track Space Efficient FlashCopy target volumes
Reduce FlashCopy workload

When there are frequent checkpoints and/or a low change rate When the FlashCopy will have a short life
Delay copy until a period of low activity

Or until a copy of the target is needed The FlashCopy PiT can be established at any time, and the background copy transition can be scheduled for a period of low activity or when a physical copy is needed.

Global Copy Creating Consistency

There are 3 approaches to creating consistency with Global Copy:
Stop updates at source (quiesce application) Wait for all data to be replicated to the target Suspend, or use FlashCopy to create an additional consistent copy Transition to synchronous mode and suspend as soon as data is consistent (aka duplex) at remote Optionally use FlashCopy to create an additional consistent copy and then resume mirroring Create a consistent FlashCopy at the local site and then replicate it with Global Copy
