3PAR RAID 5 Concepts Contd
Setsize = 9 (8+1)
What is the usable space for this setsize?
Usable space = 2048 MB (8*256)
Serving Information
3PAR RAID Multi Parity (MP) Concepts

RAID MP uses parity (double parity can deliver data in a double disk failure) to reconstruct data and performed in the ASIC XOR engine
RAID MP only supports two setsizes ( 8 and 16)
The default set size of 8 has the same data to parity ratio as the default RAID-5 set size of 4 -- 3:1 in both cases.
Serving Information
Usage Meaning of -ha cage For RAID MP

The system defines "-ha cage" as "will tolerate the failure of ONE
cage. This means:
Up to two chunklets are allowed to share the same cage.
The default R6 -ha cage set size 8 requires 4 cages per nodepair, just like the default R5 set size 4.
If 8 cages are available, the layout will use one chunklet per cage.
The same rules apply to -ha mag up to two chunklets are
allowed per mag but the system will place only one chunklet per
mag if possible.

3PAR Virtual Copy
3PAR
3PAR Virtual Copy
A snapshot of another Virtual Volume (a base

volume or another Virtual Copy) created using
copy-on-write techniques available only with a
3PAR Virtual Copy license.
Serving Information
Virtual Copy Characteristics

Records only the changes to the original volume
Administrator can make hundreds of Virtual Copies of a
Virtual Volume assuming there is enough storage space
Virtual Copy volumes use CPG space
Using the InForm GUI to create Virtual Copies
automatically enforces relationship rules
Serving Information

Maximum number of base virtual volumes

Maximum number of snapshots per base virtual volume
2048
Maximum number of read-write copies per read-only copy

Serving Information
Dual SD Space TPVV/Base and VC

Dual SD Space provides the following benefits,
The base virtual volume and the virtual copies can be mapped to
different CPGs. This means that they can have different quality of
service characteristics. For example, the base SD space can be
derived from a RAID 1 CPG and the virtual copy SD space from a
RAID 5 CPG.
The base SD space and the virtual copy SD space can grow
independently without impacting each other (each SD space has
its own allocation warning and limit).
Dynamic optimization can tune the base SD space and the virtual
copy SD space independently.
Serving Information
Virtual Copy 2.3.1

Prior to 2.3.1, only one read-write virtual copy per readonly virtual copy was permitted.
This was burdensome to customers who wanted multiple
read-write copies from a single golden read-only copy.
Prior to 2.3.1, a virtual copy could only be promoted back
to the base volume.
From 2.3.1 a snapshot can be promoted to any read-write
parent within the same virtual volume family tree providing
greater flexibility to the user.
Serving Information
34
Virtual Copy Promotion
From 2.3.1 a virtual copy (snapshot) can be promoted

to any read-write parent within the same virtual
volume family tree.
The promotion detects the differences between the
snapshot and the read-write parent and then copies
these differences back to the read-write parent.
By default, a promotion will promote back to the base
volume. However, the -target option can be used to
specify any read-write parent within the same virtual
volume tree.
Serving Information
35
Virtual Copy Relationships

Virtual Copy can be read-only or read/write
The rules that enforce relationships between a base
volume and its Virtual Copy revolve around read-only or
read/write
Read-only and read/write (up to 256) Can make as many
R/W VCs per R/O as needed. Base volumes are always
read/write
Serving Information
Virtual Copy Relationships Contd

A read-only copy can have up to 256 read/write Virtual
Copys
A read/write Virtual Copy can have many read-only copies

3PAR Dynamic Optimization Benefit For Storage Administration
Allows for a non-disruptive re-layout of Virtual Volumes on

the 3PAR InServ (move volumes to different physical disks
to accommodate new user demands)
Promotes system optimization through improved utilization

of all physical resources for the current configuration (Take
advantage of a H/W upgrade)
Allows for altering of service levels associated to a

Virtual Volume (change RAID levels, set sizes, spare
chunklets)

Theory of Operation: Database
Database server can be on different machine for MySQL and Oracle.

SQLite database is just files in a directory.
Sampler and web server communicate only via the DB
Exception: When adding InServ to be sampled, web server creates
password file that the sampler then uses.
The sampleinserv table in the DB tells sampler which InServ
systems to sample.
The policy table in the DB tells sampler
where the CLI password files for InServs are
how often to sample
how long to keep the samples
when to compact the DB
The alertconfig table in the DB tells sampler what metrics to compute
to see if an alert should be generated.
Serving Information
Theory of Operation: Database Schema
Database Schema documented in User Guide chapter 9

Naming convention:
Administrative: <base>_<version>. Eg: policy_1
Data and inventory: <base>_<res>_<version>. Eg:
pdspace_hourly_2
Three types of tables: administrative, data, inventory
Administrative tables:

Implementation: Database
Separate HiRes, Hourly, Daily tables

Space sampled slower than performance (ratio is programmable in

Aggregate VV Cache Performance over Time

Reason to use:
Suppose different workloads are run on a system at
different times
Storage performance (service time) differs across
workloads
The IOPs and bandwidth view does not shed any light
on why the differences
Often, these differences can be explained by different
cache performance for the specific workloads
One sees this by plotting aggregate VV cache
performance versus time and observe the different
cache behavior during different periods
