Proof of DB2 pureScale Architecture Scalability
How far will it scale?
Take a web commerce type workload– Read mostly but not read only
Don’t make the application cluster aware– No routing of transactions to members– Demonstrate transparent application scaling
Scale out to the 128 member limit and measure scalability

Scalability Example: 12 Member Cluster
Update workload– 1 update transaction for every 4 read transactions– Typical read/write ratio of many OLTP workloads
No cluster awareness in the application– No routing of transactions to members– Demonstrate transparent application scaling
Redundant system– 14 8-core p550s including duplexed PowerHA pureScale™
Scalability remains above 90%

Take advantage of extra capacity instantly– No need to modify your application code– No need to tune your database infrastructure
Developers don’t even need to know more nodes are being added
Administrators can add capacity without re-tuning or re-testing

Member Member Member Member
Primary2nd-ary
DB2 engine runs on several host computers– Co-operate with each other to provide coherent access to the
database from any member
Data sharing architecture– Shared access to database– Members write to their own logs on shared disk– Logs accessible from another host (used during recovery)
PowerHA pureScale technology– Efficient global locking and buffer management– Synchronous duplexing to secondary ensures availability
Low latency, high speed interconnect– Special optimizations provide significant advantages on RDMA-
capable interconnects (eg. Infiniband)
Clients connect anywhere,…… see single database
– Clients connect into any member– Automatic load balancing and client reroute may change
underlying physical member to which client is connected
Integrated cluster services– Failure detection, recovery automation, cluster file system– In partnership with STG and Tivoli

Log LogLogLog
DB2 DB2 DB2 DB2
A key DB2 pureScale design point is to maximize availability during failure recovery processing
When a database member fails, only data in-flight on the failed member remains locked– In-flight = data modifications that are
part of active transactions on the member at the time it failed
Target member recovery time– <20 seconds

What is a Member ?A DB2 engine address space
– i.e. a db2sysc process and its threads
Members Share Data– All members access the same shared
database– Aka “Data Sharing”
Each member has it’s own …– Bufferpools– Memory regions– Log files
Members are logical.Can have …
– 1 per machine or LPAR (recommended)– >1 per machine or LPAR (not recommended
for production)
Member != Database Partition– Member = db2sysc process– Database Partition = a partition of the database

What is a PowerHA pureScale Server?
Software technology that assists in global buffer coherency management and global locking
– Derived from System z Parallel Sysplex& Coupling Facility technology
– Software based
Services provided include– Group Bufferpool (GBP)– Global Lock Management (GLM)– Shared Communication Area (SCA)
Members duplex GBP, GLM, SCA state to both a primary and secondary
– Done synchronously– Duplexing is optional (but recommended)– Set up automatically, by default

Cluster interconnectRequirements1. Low latency, high speed
interconnect between members, and the primary and secondary PowerHApure scale servers
2. RDMA capable fabric• To make direct updates in
memory without the need to interrupt the CPU
Solution– InfiniBand (IB) and uDAPL
for performance• InfiniBand supports RDMA
and is a low latency, high speed interconnect
• uDAPL to reduce kernel time in AIX

Cluster file systemRequirements1.Shared data requires shared
disks and a cluster file system2.Fencing of any failed members
from the file systemSolution– General Parallel File System –
GPFS•Shipped with, and installed and configured as part of DB2
•We will also support a pre-existing user managed GPFS file system
–Allows GPFS to be managed at the same level across the enterprise–DB2 will not manage this pre-existing file system, nor will it apply service updates to GPFS.

Availability Goals
HA automation built-in - “out of the box”:– Built-in failover, recovery and fail-back
Unplanned events (eg. member and PowerHApureScale server failures) – Online recovery complete within ~20 seconds (OLTP)– All data that is not being updated is fully available during recovery
Planned events (eg. member maintenance) : “Stealth” Maintenance– No errors– No data availability loss

Single Database View
Shared Data

DB2 Cluster Services automatically detects member’s death
– Informs other members & powerHA pureScale servers– Initiates automated member restart on same (“home”)
host– Member restart is like a database crash recovery in a
single system database, but is much faster• Redo limited to inflight transactions (due to FAC)• Benefits from page cache (GBP)
In the mean-time, client connections are transparently re-routed to healthy members
– Based on least load (by default), or,– Pre-designated failover member
Other members remain fully available throughout – “Online Failover”
– Primary retains update locks held by member at the time of failure
– Other members can continue to read and update data not locked for write access by failed member
Member restart completes– Retained locks released and all data fully available– Transaction work routed to the restarted member

Automatic Workload Balancing & Client RoutingRun-time load information used to automatically balance load across the cluster (as in System z sysplex)
– Load information of all members kept on each member– Piggy-backed to clients regularly– Used to route next connection (or optionally next transaction) to least loaded member– Routing occurs automatically (transparent to application)
Failover– Load of failed member evenly distributed to surviving members automatically
Fallback– Once the failed member is back online, fallback does the reverse

Group Crash Recovery (GCR)
Occurs when both primary and secondary PowerHA pureScaleservers simultaneously fail
– Or when primary fails with secondary not in peer state
DB2 Cluster Services automatically elects member to drive GCR
GCR is very similar to crash recovery on a single system database
– Redo and Undo operations for updates not yet written to disk
– Operates against merged logs in pureScale

1. Ensure automatic load balancing (default) or automatic routing is enabled
2. db2stop member 3 quiesce <timeout>
3. db2stop instance on host <hostname>--also--

Scalability
Transaction scalability – Key operations are designed for transaction scalability
Additional Capacity– Rapid addition and exploitation of additional capacity
– Add member– Add disk space
• Good scaling without application change• No restrictions based on data ownership• Flexible workload balancing and routing

Achieving Efficient Scaling : Key Design PointsDeep RDMA exploitation over low latency fabric– Enables round-trip
response time as low as 10-15 microseconds(lock request)
Silent Invalidation– Informs members of page
updates requires no CPU cycles on those members
– No interrupt or other message processing required
– Increasingly important as cluster grows

Adding capacity
1. Complete pre-requisite workAIX installed, on the network, access to shared disks
2. Add the member db2iupdt –add –m <MemHostName:MemIBHostName> InstName
Note: extending and shrinking the instance is an offline task in the initial release
SD image
You can also:Drop memberAdd / drop powerHA pureScale server
3. DB2 does all tasks to add the member to the cluster
Copies the image and response file to host6Runs installAdds M4 to the resources for the instance.Sets up access to the cluster file system for M4
Initial installationComplete pre-requisite work: AIX installed, hosts on the network, access to shared disks enabled.Copies the DB2 pureScale image to the Install Initiating Host.Installs the code on the specified hosts using a response file.Creates the instance, members, and primary and secondary PowerHA pureScale servers as directed. Adds members, primary and secondary PowerHA pureScale servers, hosts, HCA cards, etc. to the domain resources.Creates the cluster file system and sets up each member’s access to it. Add a member
