1 Abstract
This paper demonstrates the performance benefits of running an Oracle 11g database using Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) on IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Easy Tier enabled. The paper also explains online transaction processing (OLTP) workload generated using the SysBench load generator tools.
2 Introduction
This section provides an overview on the various topics explained in this paper, the assumptions made, and the intended audience that are likely to benefit from this paper.
2.1 Overview
This paper demonstrates the performance benefits that IBM Easy Tier provides by seamlessly migrating hot extents from hard disk drives (HDDs) to a higher performing solid-state drives (SSDs) within the IBM Storwize V7000 solution. This might be either to internal SSD in the IBM Storwize V7000 system or to external storage systems that are virtualized by IBM Storwize V7000 systems. The other load generator tool that has been used here is Oracle Vdbench. The objective of Vdbench is to generate a wide variety of controlled storage I/O workloads, allowing control over workload parameters such as I/O rate, logical unit number (LUN) or file sizes, transfer sizes, thread count, volume count, volume skew, read/write ratios, read and write cache hit percentages, and random or sequential workloads. The other load generator used to arrive at the configuration guidelines is the Oracle I/O Calibration Tool ORION). This tool generates I/O using the same I/O software stack used by the Oracle server software without having to install the server software and create a database. It can simulate various workload types at different load levels to arrive at performance metrics for input/output operations per second (IOPS), and latency (response time). It can also simulate the effect of striping performed by ASM. The intention of this paper is not to demonstrate the maximum possible I/O benchmark or performance number for the IBM Storwize V7000 system. Those benchmark and performance numbers are likely to be shown in the Storage Performance Council SPC-1 and SPC-2 results posted by IBM on the SPC website. This paper demonstrates how to configure Easy Tier, and explains how Easy Tier might benefit the performance for an Oracle database workload by optimizing the utilization of SSDs.
2.2 Assumptions
The team assumes that the best practices that are documented in the IBM Storwize V7000 Introduction and Implementation Guide from IBM Redbooks holds good for Oracle databases too. Another assumption is that the load generation tools, Oracles Vdbench and ORION, are appropriate for determining storage performance for Oracle I/O workloads. A detailed description of both the tools is provided in a later section. But briefly, ORION generates I/O using the same I/O software stack used by the Oracle server software without having to install the server software. By using ORION, it is possible to avoid addressing the subject of Oracle database server tuning, which is beyond the scope of this paper. Also, Vdbench generates a wide variety of controlled storage I/O workloads, allowing control over workload parameters such as I/O rate, LUN or file sizes, transfer sizes, thread count, volume count,

volume skew, read/write ratios, read and write cache hit percentages, and random or sequential workloads.

performance requirements might limit the practical distance. Metro Mirror is designed to provide fully-synchronized copies at both sites with zero data loss after the initial copy is completed. Global Mirror: Global Mirror provides long distance asynchronous remote mirroring function up to approximately 8,000 km between sites. With Global Mirror, the host I/O completes locally, and the changed data is sent to the remote site later. This is designed to maintain a consistent, recoverable copy of data at the remote site which lags behind the local site. Data migration: A data migration wizard can be used to import external storage system into the IBM Storwize V7000 system. Easy Tier: Provides a mechanism to seamlessly migrate hot spots to a higher performing storage pool within the IBM Storwize V7000 solution. This can be to internal drives within the IBM Storwize V7000 system or to external storage systems that are virtualized by the IBM Storwize V7000 system.

A disk or partition from a storage array An entire disk or the partitions of a disk Logical volumes Network-attached files (NFS)
When you add a disk to a disk group, you can assign a disk name or the disk is given an ASM disk name automatically. This name is different from the name used by the operating system. In a cluster, a disk can be assigned different operating system device names on different nodes, but the disk has the same ASM disk name on all of the nodes. In a cluster, an ASM disk must be accessible from all of the instances that share the disk group. If the disks are the same size, then ASM spreads the files evenly across all of the disks in the disk group. This allocation pattern maintains every disk at the same capacity level and ensures that all of the disks in a disk group have the same I/O load. Because ASM load balances among all of the disks in a disk group, different ASM disks should not share the same physical drive.
Coarse-grained striping provides load balancing for disk groups while fine-grained striping reduces latency for certain file types by spreading the load more widely. To stripe data, ASM separates files into stripes and spreads data evenly across all of the disks in a disk group. The stripes are equal in size to the effective allocation unit. The coarse-grained stripe size is always equal to the allocation unit size. The fine-grained stripe size always equals 128 KB; this provides lower I/O latency for small I/O operations such as redo log writes.

After a storage pool is formed, you can add additional MDisks to the managed storage pool or additional storage pools can be merged with this storage pool. Volumes that are created in managed storage pools are allocated on HDD extents based on the monitoring process and algorithms used by Easy Tier, which might later be migrated to SSDs.
Internal drives have tiers chosen by IBM Storwize V7000 system, while external (SAN) MDisks have a tier assigned by the user. Easy Tier between SSD and SAS or Fibre Channel (FC) drives have been tested, but nothing in the product disallows other combinations. For example, SAS to nearline SAS is allowed but will not be tested. Using Easy Tier with other disk configurations can lead to unpredictable performance and need to be tested before production implementation. Easy Tier is designed to work with IBM Storwize V7000 internal SSDs or SAN-based external SSDs.

Easy Tier is supported in both mirrored volumes and thin-provisioned volumes. In the case of mirrored volumes, both copies are independently managed by Easy Tier, while in thin-provisioned volumes only the real storage is subject to Easy Tier management. In the case of sequential volumes, where the extents are allocated one after another in one MDisk, they can be measured but not managed by Easy Tier. Also, in image mode volumes, which are special volumes having direct relationship with one MDisk and are used to migrate existing data in and out of the V7000 cluster, the volumes can be measured but not managed by Easy Tier. Easy Tier is also supported for FlashCopy source and target volumes. Metro Mirror and Global Mirror primary and secondary volumes are also supported with Easy Tier, but the Metro Mirror and Global Mirror volumes do not inherit characteristics of the primary as part of the disaster recovery activity.

7.1 Overview
SwingBench is a free load generator (and benchmarks) and is designed to stress test an Oracle database (9i,10g,11g). It can be downloaded from the URL: http://www.dominicgiles.com/downloads.html SwingBench consists of a load generator, a coordinator and a cluster overview. The software enables a load to be generated and the transactions/response times to be charted. SwingBench can be used to demonstrate and test technologies such as RACs, online table rebuilds, standby databases, online backup and recovery, and so on. The code that is shipped with SwingBench includes benchmark OrderEntry, which was used in the test. OrderEntry is based on the oe schema that is shipped with Oracle11g. It has been modified so that Spatial, Intermedia schemas do not need to be installed. It can be run continuously (that is, until you run out of space). It introduces heavy contention on a small number of tables and is designed to stress interconnects and memory. It is installed using the oewizard located in the bin directory. SwingBench has three front-ends to the same kernel: SwingBench This front-end has a rich graphical interface. It displays real-time charts and allows you to edit configuration parameters. A summary of the results are placed in an XML file. It is useful for demonstrations. Minibench This front-end has a small footprint graphical interface. It has some simple real-time charting. A summary of the results are placed in an XML file. It is useful for assessing the impact of an operation, such as a backup. Charbench This has a character-based front-end. The output can be in a vmstat/sar format. There are many command line options. Charbench allows for the gathering of very detailed real-time data when doing benchmarking that fully stresses the system.

Description Models the classic order entry stress test. It has a similar profile to the TPC-C benchmark. This version models an online order entry system with users being required to log in before purchasing goods. The benchmark uses the following three files:
names.txt nls.txt productids.txt
Profile
Select 50% Insert 30% Update 20% Delete 0%
These contain sample data used by each of the transactions. The location of each file is specified in the swingconfig.xml file in the EnvironmentVariable section.

The following content shows how to create arrays on the system using the GUI. The Storwize V7000 command line interface (CLI) might not be needed though it is flexible in most cases. When you first set up the Storwize V7000 system, the initial setup wizard prompts the user to use the fully-automated RAID setup. Now, start from the Getting Started page on the GUI, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 5 shows the internal drives with an Online status before the MDisk configuration.

13
You can choose to use the recommended (fully-automatic) configuration or a different configuration for customization. (Refer to Figure 6). In this example, a different configuration has been used. In this step, first select the drive class. The GUI then provides a preset list based on the drive class. You can decide whether to configure spares automatically, and optimize the array for performance or capacity. You can also indicate the number of drives to be provisioned. The configuration summary at the bottom of the page (in Figure 6) displays information on what the system will attempt to do, or indicates that it cannot meet the RAID creation requirement. The team configured the internal SAS drives, and chose the preset of RAID-5. In this example, the team used 18 drives, optimized for a capacity to create 3 x RAID-5 arrays.

14
With the Optimize for Performance option selected, all arrays in a pool will have the same performance characteristics, and potentially leave unused drives in the system. The Optimize for Capacity option uses all drives in the system, which means that some of the arrays might not meet the array width goals. It will do this by reducing the number of drives in one or more arrays to be created by an equal amount, and you will get an optimal performance layout (all arrays have the same width, or the width with one drive more or one drive less, but the width will not be the same as the width goal). Note: If the perfect number of drives exists, the Optimize for Capacity option creates the same layout as the Optimize for Performance option. Both the algorithms are explained in the IBM Redbooks, Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 at ibm.com/redbooks/redpieces/abstracts/sg247938.html?Open Next, you need to decide whether to expand an exiting pool or create one or more new pools with the arrays. In this example, a new pool dedicated for internal storage (as shown in Figure 7) has been created.

Next, the test team created another RAID-5 array as shown in Figure 9.
The team then added this to the existing asm_oracle storage pool, as shown in Figure 10.

On the Pools page, you can notice that a new oracle_asm pool has been created, and it has four members mdisk0, mdisk1, mdisk2 and mdisk3, all having an Online status (as shown in Figure 12).
You have now completed managing the internal HDDs. Next, you will see how to manage the internal
SSDs.

Change the owner and group of the devices to oracle and dba as shown in the following example. isvp14_ora> chown oracle:dba /dev/rhdisk13 isvp14_ora> chown oracle:dba /dev/rhdisk14 isvp14_ora> chown oracle:dba /dev/rhdisk15 isvp14_ora> chown oracle:dba /dev/rhdisk16
The new LUNs are now available to create an ASM disk group.
Using the Storwize V7000 GUI to view the oracle_asm storage pool confirms that Easy Tier has been activated and that it is now ready to produce the statistics that will help in determining how much data need to be promoted to SSDs, and how much SSD capacity is required.

28
Any existing heat data file is overwritten whenever a new heat data file is produced; however, it includes all the information till date for all measured pools and volumes. The file must be off-loaded by the user and processed with the STAT utility and invoked from a Windows command prompt. The user also has the option of specifying the output directory. The STAT utility creates a set of HTML files and the user can then open the resulting index.html file in a browser to view the results. You can download SAN Volume Controller / Storwize V7000 Storage Tier Advisor Tool at: ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S4000935 Installing the STAT utility places the program files, by default, in the Program Files\IBM\STAT directory on the local C:\ drive. The Storwize V7000 system produces a heat file that has to be downloaded to the directory containing the STAT executable. When you right-click the file, a dialog box with the option to download and save the file, as shown in Figure 23 is displayed.
When the heat file is in the correct directory, run the STAT.exe to generate the STAT HTML reports, as shown in Figure 24.

29
Five HTML reports will be recorded in the Data Files directory of the STAT folder under Program Files\IBM. Reports as shown in Figure 25, Figure 26, and were obtained on running STAT.exe against the Storwize V7000 heat file from the previous testing with an AIX system. The System Summary HTML report shows that 132 GB of the AIX volume had enough I/O operations on specific extents to merit their promotion to SSDs. It also recommends the SSD configuration and estimated performance improvement.

The Figure 35 below shows the storage pool oracle_asm with the SSD MDisk, and with Easy Tier Active.
Move the mouse pointer over a volume name, in this case, vol01. Then right-click and click Properties. This shows the details of the volume in the three tabs: Overview, Host Maps, and Member MDisks. Under the Member MDisk tab, in the # of Extents column for vol01, it shows 300 for mdisk0, 300 for mdisk1, 300 for mdisk2, and 300 for mdisk3. The reason for this is that the size of the vol01 volume is 300 GB, and the extent size of the oracle_asm storage pool is 256 MB. Therefore, 256x300 = 76.8 GB, which is the size of vol01 on mdisk0. There are four HDD MDisks in the storage pool, and therefore 76.8x4 = 307 GB, which is roughly the size of the vol01 volume that the team had created. You will see later that as the test progresses, Easy Tier will analyze the I/O pattern and develops a migration plan for the hot extents in each of the HDD Mdisks. During the extent migration phase, you will see three more SSD MDisks in the member MDisk screen. The number under the # of Extents column starts reducing as the hot extents migrate from the HDD MDisks to the SSD MDisks, until all the SSD extents have been used. The screen shot below show the extent distribution for each of the volumes before the workload was started from the Oracle client.

11 Summary
Oracle ASM data distribution policy is capacity based ie. it spreads data evenly across all of the volumes in an ASM disk group, and maintains every volume at the same capacity level. In a real world scenario I/O activity on the volumes of an ASM disk group are different, leading to I/O hot spots. The Easy Tier feature in the Storwize V7000 removes these hot spots in an Oracle ASM disk group automatically by migrating the hot extents from the HDD drives to faster SSD drives, and thus providing higher transactions per minute and lower response time to Oracle clients. In the paper the team observed the ease with which Easy Tier can be configured and deployed for use with Oracle ASM. We also observed that with the Storage Tier Advisor Tool, the users are now able to accurately provision SSDs accurately for their Oracle workloads. From our observations we can conclude that the Easy Tier feature of the Storwize V7000 system along with Oracle ASM provides excellent cost-performance benefits to Oracle database customers by placing only the hot data onto SSDs while the rest of the data is still on lower cost HDD drives.
