4.3.2 Storage Features for HUAWEI OceanStor S5500T
Feature 1 --- Outstanding Performance
Storage performance is a complex mix of drive, interface, controller, cache,
protocol, SAN, HBA, driver, and operating system considerations. The overall
performance of the storage architecture is typically measured in terms of
maximum throughput, maximum I/O operations per second (IOPS), and
latency or response time. Although each of these performance measurements
is important, IOPS and latency are the most relevant to server virtualization.
Most modern SANs use a combination of high-speed disks, slower-speed
disks, and large memory caches. A storage controller cache can improve
performance during burst transfers or when the same data is accessed
frequently by storing it in the cache memory, which is typically several orders
of magnitude faster than the physical disk I/O. However, it is not a substitute
for adequate disk spindles because caches are ineffective during heavy write
operations.
For HUAWEI OceanStor S5500T storage system, with HUAWEI SmartTier
HUAWEI Virtual Desktop Solution with VMware Horizon 6.0 with View
2014-12-23 HUAWEI Technologies Co., Ltd Page17, Total24
storage feature, it is easy combining solid state disk, traditional SAS and
SATA or NL-SAS disk to implement high performance using Smart Tier.
Solid state disks producted by HUAWEI can be used for Tier 0 as the high
performance layer, SAS disks are used as the performance layer, and the
NL-SAS disks are used as capacity layer.
SmartTier Feature for HUAWEI OceanStor S5000T Storage System
Figure5
Using SmartTier feature, hotspot data is migrated from SAS or
NL-SAS/SATA disk to solid state disk automatically, which means that the
hotspot data would be on the high performance layer and it is easy to
implement high IO performance.
Feature 2 --- Multiple Drive Types Supported
HUWEI OceanStor S5000T series Storage System supports SAS, NL SAS,
and SATA, FC and SSD disks, fitting into various scenarios. For high
performance it is recommended to choose solid state disk (SSD), for both
performance and capacity it is recommended to choose SSD and SAS disks,
for capacity NL-SAS and SATA disks are recommended.
Feature 3 --- Multipathing
In all cases, multipathing should be used. VMware ESXi 5.x supports three
native multipathing policies, including Most Recently Used (MRU), Fixed
(Fixed) and Round Robin (RR). These multipathing policies apply to
VMware's Native Multipathing Path Selection Plugins (PSP).
In this solution, Round Robin is used as the default multipathing policy, and
ALUA protocol is used as the default storage interconnection protocol
(SATP).
The method for configuring storage interconnection protocol and multipathing
policy is showing as following.
Connect to ESXi host using SSH client.

--vendor="HUAWEI" --description "HUAWEI SAN Storage"
# esxcli storage nmp satp set --default-psp=VMW_PSP_RR --satp
VMW_SATP_ALUA
# reboot
Feature 4 --- Multiple Front-end Interfaces Supported
Multiple front-end interconnection interaces are supported by HUAWEI
OceanStor S5500T storage system, including 1Gbps/10Gbps iSCSI,
2/4/8/16Gbps FC, 10Gbps FCoE, 10Gbps Toe, etc.
Feature 5 --- Thin Provisioning
HUAWEI OceanStor S5000T series Storage System allows on-demand
allocation of storage space rather than the traditional method of pre-allocating
all storage space at the initial stage. It is more efficient because the amount of
resources used is close to the amount of resources allocated. In this way, the
initial purchase cost and total cost of ownership are reduced.
The thin provisioning feature for HUAWEI OceanStor S5000T Storage is
called SmartThin, showing as follow.

ViewPlanner simulates application workloads for various user types, (task
workers, knowledge workers, and power users) by running applications
typically used in a Windows desktop environment. During the execution of a
workload, applications are randomly called to perform common desktop user
operations, including open, save, close, minimize and maximize windows;
view an HTML page, insert text, insert words and numbers, conduct a
slideshow, view a video, send and receive email, and compress files. View
Planner uses a patent pending watermark technique to quantify the user
experience and measure application latency on a user client/remote machine.
