Solution description

• Remote replication

In addition, the CX3-20 supports a wide range of server operating environments—Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and VMware ESX Server.

With the EMC CX3-20 you can choose the drive options that meet your specific needs, thereby providing the flexibility to offer multiple levels of performance in one system. The CX3-20 supports both high-performance and high-capacity disk drives in the same system, can scale from 365 GB to 59 TB, and supports 128 high-availability hosts. It supports 4 Gb/s (15k RPM) Fibre Channel drives for demanding applications requiring maximum performance. Choose 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel (10k RPM) for applications that require balancing performance and cost. Or, choose low-cost 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel drives (7.2k RPM) for Tier 2 applications requiring high capacities and low cost—such as disk-based backup.

The CX3-20 delivers tiered storage that enables you to provide the right level of performance to the right applications. The system also delivers exceptional 4 Gb/s performance throughout the entire system—without compromises or bottlenecks. Performance-boosting features include four front-end and two back-end 4 Gb/s ports—plus state-of-the-art low-latency, high-bandwidth I/O inter-connect technologies.

The performance results and best practices discussed in this document provide tested guidelines for configuring the EMC CX3-20 for a high-performance Exchange environment. For this solution, a CX3-20 storage system was used and configured for 8,000 Exchange 2003 users. Each of the 8,000 users is profiled using a value of 1 IOPS per user and a 200-MB mailbox requirement.

Solution descriptionSizing and configuring storage for use with Microsoft Exchange Server is a complicated process, driven by many variables and factors, which vary from organization to organization.

One method often used to simplify the sizing and configuration of large amounts of EMC CLARiiON storage for use with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 is to define a unit of measure. Such a unit of measure—in this case one server with 38 storage spindles (32 for databases and 6 for logs)—meets all of the Microsoft Exchange Server recommended metrics for excellent reliability, scalability, and performance.

Page 5: Cx3!20!8000users Microsoft Exchanage Stor Sol Esrp Pgm

Solution description

This unit of measure—or building block—needs to be scalable. In that way, an organization can simply take this block of work and multiply it by some factor until the desired number of Microsoft Exchange Server users (i.e., Microsoft MAPI Outlook users) has been properly met or configured to satisfy the Microsoft Exchange Server recommended performance metrics.

If each unit is properly configured, it will match the Microsoft Exchange Server recommendations for a healthy-performing system—from both a disk and an end-user perspective.

Table 1 describes the characteristics of each building block.

Using the performance characteristics of the CLARiiON CX3-20 architecture and the I/O capability of the 146-GB disk drives, 38 spindles are required to provide the necessary performance to match the I/O requirements of 4,000, 1.0 IOPS users. The Exchange databases reside on 32 spindles in four 4+4 1/0 RAID Groups. The logs will be placed on one 3 +3 1/0 RAID I/O Group. This design is then duplicated one more time, resulting in two building-blocks of 4000 users, for a total of 8,000 total users.

Solution description

Figure 1 CLARiiON CX3-20 ESRP test environment

The ESRP Storage program focuses on storage solution testing to address performance and reliability issues with storage design. However, storage is not the only factor to consider when designing a scalable Exchange solution. Other factors that affect the server scalability are:

• Server processor utilization

• Server physical and virtual memory limitations

• Resource requirements for other applications

• Directory and network service latencies

• Network infrastructure limitations

Page 7: Cx3!20!8000users Microsoft Exchanage Stor Sol Esrp Pgm

Targeted customer profile

• Replication and recovery requirements

• Client usage profiles

Due to such variables, the number of mailboxes hosted per server, as part of the tested configuration, may not necessarily be viable for some customer deployments.

For more information on identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks in an Exchange system, please refer to Microsoft's Troubleshooting Microsoft Exchange Server Performance, available at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23454.

Targeted customer profileThis solution is intended for medium-to-large Enterprise Exchange customers. This configuration is designed to support 8,000 Exchange users, with the following assumptions:

• 2 Exchange Server

• 4,000 users per Exchange Server

• 1 IOPS per user

• 200-MB mailbox

• Four Exchange storage groups per Exchange Server

• Five databases per storage group

Best practices

Best practicesMicrosoft Exchange Server is a disk-intensive application. It is characterized as a very bursty (mostly 4-KB random access) read/write operation to the database files, with a sequential (mostly 512 byte) write operation to the transaction logs. It is this random, bursty workload—with periods of high peaks—that makes designing a well-performing storage solution with Microsoft Exchange Server a challenge. Different corporate environments have different user and storage requirements, so storage design cannot be based simply on generalizations.

Based on the testing run using ESRP framework, EMC recommends following these best practices to improve storage performance with Exchange solutions. For Exchange best practices on storage design, please visit:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/library/optimizestorage.mspx

Core storage 1. Use diskpart (in Windows 2003 SP1) to align all Microsoft-Exchange-related disks, using a value of 64 for CLARiiON. This aligns all of the Exchange-related NTFS partitions on a 64-KB boundary.

2. Isolate the Microsoft Exchange Database workload from other I/O-intensive applications or workloads. This ensures the highest levels of performance for Microsoft Exchange and makes troubleshooting easier in the event of a disk-related Microsoft Exchange performance problem.

3. The logs and databases should be separated onto different disks and CLARiiON RAID Groups.

4. Size and configure the environment for spindle performance as a primary consideration, with spindle or storage capacity a secondary issue. In other words, size for performance first and make the capacity requirements work.

5. Striped metaLUNS should be used for all Microsoft Exchange Server implementations. Concatenated metaLUNs would limit the I/O capacity to that of a single metaLUN component or FLARE LUN. metaLUNs can also provide:

• Expandability• Load balancing

Best practices

6. Tuning the CX3-20 storage system parameters is important in obtaining best performance. The following list details the optimal parameters for Exchange:

• Cache page size of 4KB• Maximized write cache size• Read and write cache enabled for all LUNs• Read cache minimum of 50-100 MB for prefetch

Note: In the event a performance problem cannot be resolved using common performance analysis, EMC Corporation strongly recommends that a case be opened with EMC Customer Service, so that the appropriate Customer Support resources may be engaged.

Backup strategy A well designed and implemented disaster recovery strategy should be a top priority for Exchange implementations. Proper planning must be done prior to configuration in order to meet required service-level agreements (SLAs) for server downtime. Various backup and restore strategies can be implemented, depending on the requirements of the environment. EMC offers multiple backup-to disk solutions that deliver all of the flexibility needed to accommodate a full spectrum of SLA’s.

EMC offers NetWorker™, which can perform traditional Exchange backups to tape and disk, and Replication Manager, which can manage snapshots or replicas of your Exchange environment, utilizing the ground breaking technology of TimeFinder®. Both Replication Manager and NetWorker can be used in conjunction with Exchange 2003 Volume Shadow Copy services (VSS). These solutions are proven, tested and blueprinted with leading backup software applications and can be deployed in existing SAN or LAN storage infrastructures.

For example, EMC offers the Symmetrix® with Low Cost Fibre Channel (LCFC) and the CLARiiON CX series with either ATA or LCFC drives. EMC provides operationally simple disk libraries that easily integrate with existing backup environments through tape emulation. Leading backup software, such as EMC NetWorker, is supported on EMC’s Disk Library, CLARiiON CX series, Symmetrix DMX, and Celerra® NS offerings. In this solution, the tested method for backup was a one stage disk-to-disk backup. With this configuration, several best practice considerations must be understood in order to achieve optimal performance.

Testing and performance results

Best practices 1. Disk-to-disk backup LUNs should be configured in a separate disk group.

Workload isolation will optimize performance of the streaming backups and minimize the impact on the production workload.

2. Higher capacity Fibre Channel or FATA drives should be utilized if the environment requires additional backup copies of the data on the primary disks.

FATA drives should not be utilized to host production Exchange traffic without careful consideration of the performance impact. FATA drives operate at a lower rotational speed and will provide much lower throughput than Fibre Channel drives. FATA drives are also designed for an 8*5 duty cycle and not meant to operate 24*7. This results in a shorter mean time between failure (MTBF) than Fibre Channel drives (which are rated for 24*7) if over utilized.

3. Maximize the number of Exchange databases and storage groups on the Exchange server in order to minimize the time required for disaster recovery operations.

Exchange storage groups can be backed up in parallel, so having the maximum of four storage groups enables four parallel backup operations. Up to twenty databases can be created for Exchange 2003. By utilizing the maximum number of databases, this keeps the size of each database smaller and reduces the restore window. Best practices are to keep the database sizes in the 30-45GB range.

Testing and performance resultsThis section provides a high-level summary of the test data from ESRP, as well as links to the detailed reports located in “Appendix A: Test Reports”, which are generated by the ESRP testing framework.

Reliability A number of the tests in the framework are designed to test reliability over a 24-hour period. The goal of these tests is to verify that the storage can handle high I/O load for a long period of time. Following the stress test, both log and database files are analyzed for integrity to ensure there is no database/log corruption.

• No errors were reported in the event log file for the storage reliability testing.

• No errors were reported for the database and log checksum.

Testing and performance results

EXCH320-2

Streaming backup performance

This test runs through four phases:

1. Performance log generating:

This phase runs similarly to the performance test run; however, circular logging is disabled. The test stops after 100 log files are created in each storage group.

2. Soft recovery:

After phase one, the checkpoint files are deleted, and the application will mount the databases. This will force Jet to go through each log file. Disk performance is measured while each log file is replayed.

3. Database checksum:

This phase is performed to simulate the integrity check (i.e., eseutil /k) against all the databases. Disk performance is measured.

Testing and performance results

EXCH320-1

EXCH320-2

* Log recovery performance for EXCH32-1 and EXCH320-2 was calculated based upon the average performance of only three of the storage groups. The performance of the fourth storage group is skewed based on the impact of the database checksum process commencing on the second server in the environment (see “Appendix A: Test Reports” on page 23 for html output files). Eseutil is a very I/O intensive operation and should only be conducted outside of normal business hours to minimize the impact on the production environment.

Backup-to-Disk Performance

The backup-to-disk performance test runs a steaming backup for all the database files and stores them on disks. The following tables show an average rate at which each storage group can be backed up.

Conclusion

EXCH320-2

* The four Storage groups are backed up in parallel during the ESRP test. All backups finish before the four-hour Service Level Agreement window.

ConclusionAs this document illustrates, EMC’s CLARiiON CX3-20 is more than capable of supporting deployments of up to 8,000 users at 1 IOPs per user. A careful analysis of each environment must be performed in order to understand the specific requirements of the architecture and to adapt a solution that best fits those needs. The information included in this document verifies that the CX3-20 can support a high-performance Exchange configuration.

From the backup and restore perspective, this configuration meets a four-hour Service Level Agreement (SLA) for backing up all four storage groups on two Exchange servers to a backup disk group. The test results indicate that a single database can be read at approximately 82 MB/s. However, the overall rate for each server is four times that rate, since one database from each storage group is being processed concurrently. Thus, the overall streaming rate from each server is approximately 328 MB/s. The test results in “Backup-to-Disk Performance” indicate a backup rate of approximately 18.35 MB/sec per storage group. With two servers, this is an average across four storage groups per server, for a cumulative backup rate of 146.8 MB/sec. This results in a backup rate of 534 GB/hour or a little over 8.9 GB/min for this configuration.

Please note that while this configuration worked excellently, neither local clone nor remote SAN Copy replication were part of the solution. If these are a part of your solution, the number of users supported will be affected.

Conclusion

is still necessary to go through the exercises to validate the storage design for a specific customer environment.

The ESRP program is not designed to be a benchmark program; tests are not designed to get the maximum throughput for a given situation. Rather, it is focused on producing recommendations from vendors for the Exchange application.

EXCH320-1 Stress statistics

The purpose of this test is to verify the storage configuration which the customer is planning to deploy. The test run has been successful, meaning the database read latency and log write latency are below 20ms; Database page fault stalls/sec is 0. However, Microsoft strongly recommends that you perform further validation of this storage solution (additional tasks listed below):

1. You should refer to the table below to determine if the actual disk IO (achieved IO) has exceeded the targeted IO (expected IO). If not, you may want to increase the thread count to increase the load, provided that the disk latency will not exceed the threshold.

2. You need to confirm whether the storage solution has synchronous replication as part of the implementation. If the solution does not utilize synchronous replication, then you should check for the database write latency, the desired value should be under 20 ms. (Please refer to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=895847 for synchronous replication definitions.)

3. Please check the status pane in the Jetstress window, to make sure that no errors were logged during the database checksum validation.

EXCH320-2 Stress statistics

The purpose of this test is to verify the storage configuration which the customer is planning to deploy. The test run has been successful, meaning the database read latency and log write latency are below 20ms; Database page fault stalls/sec is 0. However, Microsoft strongly recommends that you perform further validation of this storage solution (additional tasks listed below):

1. You should refer to the table below to determine if the actual disk IO (achieved IO) has exceeded the targeted IO (expected IO). If not, you may want to increase the thread count to increase the load, provided that the disk latency will not exceed the threshold.

2. You need to confirm whether the storage solution has synchronous replication as part of the implementation. If the solution does not utilize synchronous replication, then you should check for the database write latency, the desired value should be under 20 ms. (Please refer to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=895847 for synchronous replication definitions.)

3. Please check the status pane in the Jetstress window, to make sure that no errors were logged during the database checksum validation.

EXCH320-2 Performance statistics

The following section provides a quick overview of the performance statistics for EXCH320-2

The purpose of this test is to verify the storage configuration which the customer is planning to deploy. The test run has been successful, meaning the database read latency and log write latency are below 20ms; Database page fault stalls/sec is 0. However, Microsoft strongly recommends that you perform further validation of this storage solution (additional tasks listed below):

1. You should refer to the table below to determine if the actual disk IO (achieved IO) has exceeded the targeted IO (expected IO). If not, you may want to increase the thread count to increase the load, provided that the disk latency will not exceed the threshold.

2. You need to confirm whether the storage solution has synchronous replication as part of the implementation. If the solution does not utilize synchronous replication, then you should check for the database write latency, the desired value should be under 20 ms. (Please refer to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=895847 for synchronous replication definitions.)

3. Please check the status pane in the Jetstress window, to make sure that no errors were logged during the database checksum validation.

EXCH320-1 Performance statistics

The following section provides a quick overview of the performance statistics for EXCH320-1.

The purpose of this test is to verify the storage configuration which the customer is planning to deploy. The test run has been successful, meaning the database read latency and log write latency are below 20ms; Database page fault stalls/sec is 0. However, Microsoft strongly recommends that you perform further validation of this storage solution (additional tasks listed below):

1. You should refer to the table below to determine if the actual disk IO (achieved IO) has exceeded the targeted IO (expected IO). If not, you may want to increase the thread count to increase the load, provided that the disk latency will not exceed the threshold.

2. You need to confirm whether the storage solution has synchronous replication as part of the implementation. If the solution does not utilize synchronous replication, then you should check for the database write latency, the desired value should be under 20 ms. (Please refer to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=895847 for synchronous replication definitions.)

3. Please check the status pane in the Jetstress window, to make sure that no errors were logged during the database checksum validation.

EXCH320-2 Performance statistics

The following section provides a quick overview of the performance statistics for EXCH320-2.

The purpose of this test is to verify the storage configuration which the customer is planning to deploy. The test run has been successful, meaning the database read latency and log write latency are below 20ms; Database page fault stalls/sec is 0. However, Microsoft strongly recommends that you perform further validation of this storage solution (additional tasks listed below):

1. You should refer to the table below to determine if the actual disk IO (achieved IO) has exceeded the targeted IO (expected IO). If not, you may want to increase the thread count to increase the load, provided that the disk latency will not exceed the threshold.

2. You need to confirm whether the storage solution has synchronous replication as part of the implementation. If the solution does not utilize synchronous replication, then you should check for the database write latency, the desired value should be under 20 ms. (Please refer to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=895847 for synchronous replication definitions.)

3. Please check the status pane in the Jetstress window, to make sure that no errors were logged during the database checksum validation.
