Disk Subsystem Architecture
� All vendors agree:• Front-end Controllers are
specialized processors to connect to hosts or other subsystems (copy services)
• Back-end Controllers are specialized processors to connect to disks
• A large cache memory is required to provide good performance for reads and writes
• A high-speed interconnect is essential ( bus or switch)
� Two copies• Battery back-up & two copies are
essential for all I/O to avoid that data written is lost
• Provided in all enterprise class equipment

Front-end Director
� Provides connectivity between disk subsystem and hosts
� Cards support ESCON, SCSI, FICON Fibre, SAS and/or iSCSI sometimes FICON and Fibre with one card
� Implementations differ greatly in maximum data handling capability, especially for FICON and Fibre
� Even though ports are rated as (e.g.) 4 Gbit/s, no implementation achieves this speed due to overhead.

Processors and Cache
� Different implementations use different approaches
� All use cache to store • Recently used tracks and records
• Recently written records
• Pre-loaded tracks for sequential read
• Some form of track descriptor tables to facilitate write operations without a disk access
• Async copy information

Device Adapters
� Connect HDDs to internal Disk Subsystem resources
� Manage RAID operations, sometimes using cache memory for RAID computations
� Configured in pairs to provide redundancy if one adapter fails
� HDD interfaces include various generations of SCSI, SSA, FC-AL, SATA and SSD
� FC-AL switched back-end are gradually being replaced by SAS back-ends

What is the user experience?
� Total Response time = CPU + I/O + Wait + Network
� CPU• Not fast enough – buy a 196!• Too many instructions – chase application people
� Wait• WLM priority?• Overcommitted resources (see #1)
� Network – always a great place to blame ☺
� Let’s break down our I/O time…

I/O Response Components
� Response = IOSQ + Pending + Connect + Disconnect
� IOSQ• Wait for local device (UCB) busy
� Pending• Wait for channel, subsystem, or device in use by other LPAR
� Connect� Time required to transfer data and commands to disk subsystem plus
protocol overhead.
� Disconnect• Wait for information to be retrieved from disk (read), written to device
(write) or to a secondary controller (copy services), or internal CU delays.

I/O’s per Transaction
� Let’s say a typical transaction requires 100 I/O’s
� Let’s take the average I/O response time of 2 ms from our chart
� But – only about .5 ms of that is Disconnect time
![Page 28: Tieringin Today’s Disk Storage Systems - Confex · PDF fileTieringin Today’s Disk Storage Systems ... • Designed and implemented synchronous remote copy in ... • Based on ShugartAssociated](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa16cc67f8b9a80378ba388/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Storage Intelligence 2828
What’s my Real Disconnect Time?
� RMF reports the average disconnect
� This does not mean that all I/O’s experienced disconnect
� The reality is that cache hits experience none (of significance)
� Disconnect time for misses can be calculated
What is the actual disconnect time for cache misses with an average disconnect of .5 ms and a hit ratio of 95%?
DISCm = RMFDISC / MISS RATIO
.5 / .05 = 10 ms
What does this mean for the actual response times of our I/O’s?
95% of the I/O’s experienced no Disc. While 5% experienced 10 ms (no I/O’s experienced .5 ms!)

What if I was on SSD’s?
� Potentially reduce 10 ms to <1 ms!• For 5% of I/O’s
� 95% of I/O’s are getting 1.5 ms response
� 5% are getting 2 ms

SSD Roadblocks
� $ per GB• SSD vs FC/SAS vs SATA• Should improve with competition• MLC!
� SSD’s per DA… per DSS• Throughput limitations
� TB per DSS footprint• Floor space• Opposes desired consolidation
� Complex to implement efficiently

Selecting SSD Candidates
� Loved ones• May be cache friendly = minimal benefit
� Auto tiering• Based on activity; may not be important to business• Analysis window and reaction time?
� SMF/RMF• Difficult and time consuming
� Software• Hardware Vendor, IBM, IntelliMagic

Auto Tiering Options
� EMC FAST• Distributed systems: FAST for Virtual Pools (FAST VP) looks good• Very granular “chunk” size – 7.5 MB• Mainframe: Volume-level only• Three Tiers: Flash, FC (10K and 15K), SATA
� HDS HDT• Interesting “chunk” size of 42 MB• http://blog.nigelpoulton.com/thin-provisioning-the-mystical-
42mb-allocation-unit/• Virtualization – good or bad?• Mainframe soon
� IBM EasyTier• 1 GB chunk size. Standard IBM “Extent” for many years• 2 Tiers (2 of SSD, FC/SAS, SATA)• Mainframe today

MLC is coming!
� Original “Enterprise” SSD was only Single Level Cell (SLC)
� Can handle many more writes
� About 10x cost of Multi-Level Cell (MLC)
� IBM and Hitachi GST have certified MLC for enterprise use

Alternatives
� Software Striping• SMS striping• Very Granular (track/CI)• Span DSS’s (more channels = more throughput)
� Hardware Striping• Volume spanning RAID ranks• Chunk size may vary
� Balance!• Measure volume/rank activity• HDD response grows with disk utilization• ROT: stay under 50%• Use RMF or vendor tools

Conclusions
� Back end HDD response is only one component of overall response and represents a very small portion of total I/O
� SSD = $$$ (MLC? = $)
� Controllers are not ready for wide-spread use
� Proper implementation is complex
� What is your current back end response?
� Are your users unhappy about response?
