Management Efficiency | Analytics
•

•

Visualize CPU, cache, protocol, disk,
memory, networking, and system-related
data, all at the same time.

•

Drill down quickly on areas of concern

•

Support multiple simultaneous application
and workload analysis in real-time, to help
compare various aspects of system stress

•

24

Industry‟s most comprehensive real-time
visualization of application- and storagerelated workloads (on right picture of
database and table index analytics)

Analysis can be saved, exported and
replayed for further analysis


MOST
EFFICIENT

ZFS Appliance Dashboard
Monitoring at a glance
• Starting point for
appliance analysis
– Ideal for single device
monitoring

• Real-time updates to
graphical view of
operations
– Utilization and alerts
easy to identify

25


ZFS Storage Appliance Analytics
Automatic real-time visualization of application and storage workloads
• Simple yet sophisticated
instrumentation
• Available on all ZFS Storage
Appliance models
• Analysis can be saved, exported
and replayed for further analysis

26


ZFS Storage Analytics

27


Statistics
• Statistics are a collection of data
displayed and graphed by ZFS
Analytics
• Every layer of the stack has available
statistics

Drilling Down into Statistics

• Statistics can be drilled down to form ad-hoc queries
– Which clients have the highest access rate on a certain day of the week?
– Which NFS operations are taking at least 2 milliseconds during high
production load?
– Which disks are seeing the most amount of activity over the past month?
29


Navigate Through Time

 „Arrow‟ buttons move back and forth between the past and

present
 „Pause‟ suspends the graph, but not data collection
 „Zoom‟ buttons control the time scale of the graph
 „Clocks‟ are pre-defined zooming to by-minute and by-hour
 „Calendars‟ can display an entire day, entire week, or entire month

30


Worksheets

• A worksheet is a user-defined collection of statistics
• They are persistently saved and can be shared by users
• Handy for crafting just the family of statistics that are
relevant for your performance analysis
31


Phantom Workloads Exposed
File Level Visibility
• A user running a performance
test increases the load on the
storage in an unexpected way
and the storage administrator
can drill into the issue in real
time to understand where the
load is coming from.

32


Where is my IO load coming from?

33


What is that client doing?

34


What‟s happening inside that file?

iPhone application that monitors multiple ZFS Storage Appliances



Brings the power of DTrace Analytics at your fingertips



Easily view the health/status of any ZFS Appliance, anywhere

Oracle EM Cloud Control Plug-in for ZFSSA


• Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control
(OCC) 12c communicates with the ZFSSA
appliance through a plug-in deployed to an
active OCC agent.
• The plug-in collects status and data from the
ZFSSA and relays it to the OCC
management server, which stores the data in
the OMS repository database.
• The ZFSSA plug-in formats screens and
reports in the OCC web interface.

38


Integrating ZFS with Enterprise Manager
Monitor ZFS appliances as part of the enterprise
• ZFS appliance becomes
an additional target to
monitor
• Provides method for nway monitoring of multiple
ZFSSA systems through
common EM interface

39


Wide Range of Individual Measurements
Complete set of metrics for system monitoring from EM
• Ability to monitor statistics
across all functions of the

 “Heat Map” tracking

– Database level Heat Map shows which tables and partitions

are being used
– Block level Heat Map shows last modification at the block

level
 Comprehensive
– Segment level shows both reads and writes
– Distinguishes index lookups from full table scans
– Automatically excludes stats gathering, DDLs, table

redefinitions, etc
 High Performance
– Object level at no cost
– Block level < 5% cost

Software | Data Reduction: Deduplication
• Reduce Costs
– Leverage current backup software
– “Inexpensive” and high performance Sun servers
– Shrink backup window by up to 90% (client dedupe)

• Flexibility
– Deduplication at the client, backup server, neither, or both
– Deduplicate by data type – eliminates “all or nothing” approach

• Reduce Risk
– No hardware vendor lock-in
– Regular disk and tape storage – taking advantage of compression and encryption
– Possible tape deduplication

Deduplication is often completed in the application software layer

Compression

LZJB – low-overhead compression, aka “compression for free”
GZIP-2 – lightweight version of gzip algorithm
GZIP – higher compression, but at some compute overhead penalty
GZIP-9 – highest compression, but can consume significant compute resources
ZFS Storage Compression Considerations

• No software license fees for compression
• Options: select compression to suit your workload
• Balance performance and data reduction
• LZJB is very lightweight – in fact it increases performance in some cases
• Higher compression options if more data reduction needed, more compute overhead tolerated

Network Configuration
• NFS protocol over 10GigE network
– NFS integrates file access, file locking, and mount protocols into
a single, unified protocol to improve security
– NFS offers the utmost simplicity in attaching storage in Oracle VM
virtualization environments over Ethernet.
– NFS on Sun ZFS Storage Appliance scales well to many
concurrent I/O threads. This high I/O throughput enables more
VM stacks to perform I/O without sacrificing service levels.
– Two 10 GbE interfaces supply plenty of bandwidth to access
virtual machine data.
• IB and FC are also available alternatives to this configuration

Storage Connect for ZFSSA
• Current ZFSSA Storage Connect has support for iSCSI
and FC LUNS
– NFS support to come when OVM adds support in framework
– NFS can still be added as a Generic File Server or Generic FC
array

74


Configuration Best Practices
• Consider a Hybrid approach
– Template/VM repositories on iSCSI block LUN
• Takes advantage of OCFS2 cloning for rapid template/OS deployment

– Application data (database, middleware) mounted direct from
Guest VM via NFSv3.
• Takes advantage of excellent NAS performance of ZFSSA
