10 Solution Architecture Overall architecture Figure 1 shows the overall architecture of the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CX3-40 FC solution. The solution is currently made up of a consolidation module that comprises the following components: Client (or public) LAN, and FC SAN networks Microsoft SQL Server 2005 connected to the client LAN and FC SAN networks Clients connected to the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 through the client LAN Replication to a remote site through the EMC RecoverPoint appliance Figure 1 Overall architecture of the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on a VMware solution General characteristics The solution architecture has the following general characteristics: The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 resides on a VMware ESX Server 64 bit virtual machine. The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition SP2 (64-bit) runs on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition 64-bit R2 SP2 in a Microsoft Cluster (MSCS), which itself runs on VMware ESX Server Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 in VMware ESX Server EMC CLARiiON CX3 Series FCP

11 Solution Architecture The VMware VirtualCenter server is hosted on a physical Microsoft cluster for maximum availability. Database datafiles, logfiles, TempDB files, and system database files reside on separate RAID groups (physical RAID arrays). LUNs for the database files and database logfiles are designed specifically to sustain TPC-C (simulated OLTP) type I/O loads. The EMC CLARiiON CX3-40 storage system can support other applications in addition to Microsoft SQL Server IP (Gigabit Ethernet and VLAN) connections are designed to balance and distribute network traffic. All files for a virtual machine, including the OS and database files, are stored on the CLARiiON CX3-40 storage system, thereby decreasing server replacement complexity. RecoverPoint version 3.0 is hosted on a physical RecoverPoint appliance cluster. Network architecture Switches Storage architecture The management and client networks shown in Figure 1 include IP switches. These switches support Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or 1 Gb/s) connections. The solution uses Fibre Channel technology and a standard switched-fabric topology. The switches use VLANs to segment the specific port groups to which the storage and hosts are connected. Figure 2 illustrates the ports on the EMC CLARiiON CX3-40 storage processor. Figure 2 EMC CLARiiON CX3-40 storage processor ports The CX3-40f storage processor supports four front-end (optical) 4 Gb Fibre Channel ports and four back-end 4 Gb Fibre Channel ports. The storage processor supports host port operation in 1 Gb, 2 Gb, and 4 Gb modes for compatibility with an existing Fibre Channel infrastructure. The mode is independently determined for every port and can be changed using the CLARiiON Navisphere Management Console. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 in VMware ESX Server EMC CLARiiON CX3 Series FCP 11

12 Solution Architecture Additional ports on the storage processor are as follows: RS232 serial up to 115k baud service port with modem support capabilities (micro DB9) RS232 serial SPS port (micro DB9) 10/100 LAN management port (RJ45) 10/100 LAN service port (RJ45) RecoverPoint appliance architecture Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate the status of the power and port links. The solution runs RecoverPoint 3.0 software as its operating system that can be accessed through a command console or a remote GUI interface using a Windows browser. The following communication ports are required: Four 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel ports for connection to the host and storage array 1 Gb/s LAN management port (RJ45) 1 Gb/s WAN port (RJ45) Disk configuration The CLARiiON storage system consists of a series of disk-array enclosures (DAEs). Each DAE can hold up to 15 disks. The CX3-40 can scale up to eight DAEs with a total of 120 disks. The disks can be logically combined across DAEs to form RAID groups. The RAID groups can be segmented into logical unit numbers, or LUNs. The LUNs can be exposed to the Microsoft Windows operating system. When additional storage is required, disks can be added to DAEs that are not yet full, or new DAEs can be installed and combined into additional RAID groups. The LUNs can be expanded to form metaluns. A metalun retains the logical unit number of the original LUN. The metaluns can also be exposed to the Microsoft Windows operating system. Note: EMC CLARiiON FLARE two-disk RAID 1/0 is similar to RAID 1 (FLARE is the CLARiiON operating environment). Both employ one-to-one disk mirroring. The significant difference between the two is that RAID 1/0 supports RAID group expansion (assigning additional disks to a RAID group) whereas RAID 1 does not. The following disk configuration was used as a part of this solution: Table 2 Disk configuration Configuration Number of spindles System TempDB Data Log Backup There was a single disk configuration tested that had 12 spindles for the TPC-C database data and four database log spindles. Figure 3 illustrates the distribution of application files across the spindles. 12 Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 in VMware ESX Server EMC CLARiiON CX3 Series FCP

13 Solution Architecture Figure 3 Disk configuration 4 In the configuration, the TPC-C database datafiles were stored in two datafiles, each in its own LUN, and both LUNs were taken from the RAID 1/0 group of 12 spindles. Each LUN of 200 GB (total of 400 GB) contained a single database datafile of 175 GB (350 GB total). Therefore, the total size of the database datafiles was 350 GB, of which 240 GB was used at the beginning of the test iteration set. The TPC-C database logfile was contained in a single LUN, which was presented from the RAID 1/0 group of four spindles. The single database log LUN was 100 GB, and contained a 50 GB database logfile. The two spindles allocated to the system area contained a LUN that had all of the system database files and logfiles such as msdb, master, model, and so on. If the change rate of any of the system databases is high, or if the more recent data is critical, then it is recommended that the system database log files be stored on a LUN that is on a different RAID group, thereby physically isolating the logs from the database to maximize recoverability. In the solution that was tested, as the system databases sustained few or no changes at regular intervals, this was not an issue. The quorum LUN for a cluster can also be located on the same spindles as the system databases. This will not be an issue in most scenarios. However, if the RAID group were to become busy, there is a possibility that the cluster might see the quorum LUN as unavailable and cause a needless cluster failover. Therefore, it is important that the quorum LUN be located on a RAID group that will not become excessively busy. For the current solution, as the system databases are never put under much stress, it is acceptable to have the quorum LUN in the same RAID group as the system databases. Tempdb was isolated to its own two-spindle RAID 1/0 group as this is a recommended best practice from Microsoft. However, these spindles were seldom used as the TPC-C workload puts effectively zero workload on the tempdb database. The 15k rpm physical Fibre Channel disks are 146 GB in size with 133 GB of usable space. In a RAID 1/0 configuration, the disks are both mirrored and striped, which results in approximately half of the RAID group s capacity being lost to disk mirrors. Therefore, the capacity of a four-spindle RAID 1/0 group is approximately 266 GB, or (4 * 133 GB) / 2. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 in VMware ESX Server EMC CLARiiON CX3 Series FCP 13

14 Solution Architecture Nine spindles were set up in a RAID 3 array to be used for backup and restore purposes. RAID 3 was used because it provides an excellent throughput for serial I/O per second (IOPS) and the backups are exclusively serial. Table 3 lists each file or activity type and indicates where it resides or is recorded. Table 3 Application file or activity types and locations File or activity type Location RAID level Total number of physical disks Database binary files CX3-40 RAID 1/0 6 TPC-C database CX3-40 RAID 1/0 4 logfiles TempDB files CX3-40 RAID 1/0 2 TPC-C database CX3-40 RAID 1/0 12 datafiles MSDTC 1 (optional) CX3-40 RAID 1/0 2 System database files CX3-40 RAID 1/0 2 Disk alignment By default, when Microsoft Disk Manager formats CLARiiON LUNs, it creates a partition starting at the 63rd sector. This misaligns the partition with the underlying storage subsystem, causing a greater I/O load than is necessary. To fix the misalignment, Microsoft provides a command line tool known as DISKPART.exe in Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. DISKPART can be used to set the starting offset value of the master boot record (MBR) of a basic disk. DISKPART is similar to DISKPAR.exe in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. The primary difference between them is that DISKPAR uses sectors (one sector = 512 bytes) (offset=128) and DISKPART uses kilobytes (offset=64). create partition primary align=64 Setting the disk alignment to 64k significantly increases the I/O performance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on the LUNs. In addition, the alignment at the virtualization layer must be considered. If the Virtual Infrastructure graphical interface is used to initialize the storage device, then the alignment is taken care of. If the command line is used, then follow the VMware-recommended method for aligning the storage device. 1 Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator. This software enables a single transaction to include data from multiple source locations. The software then coordinates the process of committing the transaction across the various locations. 14 Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 in VMware ESX Server EMC CLARiiON CX3 Series FCP

15 Solution Architecture Application server architecture Microsoft SQL Server 2005 architecture This section describes the application server architecture. The 4U ESX Server that houses the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 has two FC and six network interfaces. The FC interfaces connect to the SAN while one network interface connects to the client (public) network. Five network interfaces are made available for future needs. Additional network ports could be used to isolate certain types of traffic, to be fully allocated to a specific VM, or for teaming and load balancing, should any of these be needed. Table 4 lists each interface and describes its use. Table 4 Application server network interface configuration Interface port ID FC0 FC1 Eth0 Eth1 Eth2 Eth3 Eth4 Eth5 Description SAN connection SAN connection Public network Future use Future use Future use Future use Future use High availability and failover Storage layer Host layer Application architecture The validated solution provides protection at the storage and host layers. The CLARiiON CX3-40 has two storage processors to provide high availability and load balancing. In the validated solution, the two storage processors provide seamless failover capabilities for the storage. This minimizes disruption during maintenance or possible component failure. The RAID disk configuration on the CLARiiON back end provides protection against hard disk failures. The application hosts have redundant power supplies, FC connections, and network connections to reduce the impact of host hardware failure. In the event of a host failure, the guest VM will be automatically restarted on another node in the VMHA cluster. No special configuration settings were used for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 during the solution testing. All default settings were used for memory, processors, network, threads, and so on. The only exception being it was verified that the account under which the SQL Server service ran had the Lock Pages In Memory and the Perform Volume Maintenance Tasks user rights to allow the SQL Server to prevent pages from being swapped and to enable fast file initialization.
