Agenda

Bio - Michael FrandsenI have worked in the IT industry for just over 21 years, 17 of these has been spent as a consultant.

My typical clients are Fortune 500 Companies, most of them global corporations

I have a close relationship with Microsoft R&D in Redmond, with the Windows team for 19 years, ever since the first beta of Windows NT 3.1, SQL server for 18 years, since the first version Microsoft did by themselves, v4.21a – I am in various advisory positions in Redmond and am involved in vNext versions of Windows, Hyper-V, SQL Server and Office/SharePoint.

Specialty areas:

• Architecture & design

• High performance

• Storage

• Low Latency

• Kerberos

• Scalability (scale-up & scale-out)

• Consolidation (especially SQL Server)

• High-Availability

• VLDB

• Data Warehouse platforms

• BI platforms

• High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters

• Big Data platforms & architecture

Traditional interconnects• Fibre Channel

• Stalled at 8Gb/s for many years• 16Gb/s FC still very exotic• Strong movement towards FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet)

• iSCSI• Started in low-end storage arrays• Many still 1Gb/s• 10Gb/E storage arrays typically have few ports compared to FC

• NAS• NFS, SMB, etc.

File Share reliabilityIs this mission critical technology?

SMB 1.0 - 100+ Commands• Protocol negotiation, user authentication and share access (NEGOTIATE, SESSION_SETUP_ANDX, TRANS2_SESSION_SETUP,

LOGOFF_ANDX, PROCESS_EXIT, TREE_CONNECT, TREE_CONNECT_ANDX, TREE_DISCONNECT)

• File, directory and volume access (CHECK_DIRECTORY, CLOSE, CLOSE_PRINT_FILE, COPY, CREATE, CREATE_DIRECTORY, CREATE_NEW, CREATE_TEMPORARY, DELETE, DELETE_DIRECTORY, FIND_CLOSE, FIND_CLOSE2, FIND_UNIQUE, FLUSH, GET_PRINT_QUEUE, IOCTL, IOCTL_SECONDARY, LOCK_AND_READ, LOCK_BYTE_RANGE, LOCKING_ANDX, MOVE, NT_CANCEL, NT_CREATE_ANDX, NT_RENAME, NT_TRANSACT, NT_TRANSACT_CREATE, NT_TRANSACT_IOCTL, NT_TRANSACT_NOTIFY_CHANGE, NT_TRANSACT_QUERY_QUOTA, NT_TRANSACT_QUERY_SECURITY_DESC, NT_TRANSACT_RENAME, NT_TRANSACT_SECONDARY, NT_TRANSACT_SET_QUOTA, NT_TRANSACT_SET_SECURITY_DESC, OPEN, OPEN_ANDX, OPEN_PRINT_FILE, QUERY_INFORMATION, QUERY_INFORMATION_DISK, QUERY_INFORMATION2, READ, READ_ANDX, READ_BULK, READ_MPX, READ_RAW, RENAME, SEARCH, SEEK, SET_INFORMATION, SET_INFORMATION2, TRANS2_CREATE_DIRECTORY, TRANS2_FIND_FIRST2, TRANS2_FIND_NEXT2, TRANS2_FIND_NOTIFY_FIRST, TRANS2_FIND_NOTIFY_NEXT, TRANS2_FSCTL , TRANS2_GET_DFS_REFERRAL, TRANS2_IOCTL2, TRANS2_OPEN2, TRANS2_QUERY_FILE_INFORMATION, TRANS2_QUERY_FS_INFORMATION, TRANS2_QUERY_PATH_INFORMATION, TRANS2_QUERY_PATH_INFORMATION, TRANS2_REPORT_DFS_INCONSISTENCY, TRANS2_SET_FILE_INFORMATION, TRANS2_SET_FS_INFORMATION, TRANS2_SET_PATH_INFORMATION, TRANSACTION, TRANSACTION_SECONDARY, TRANSACTION2, TRANSACTION2_SECONDARY, UNLOCK_BYTE_RANGE, WRITE, WRITE_AND_CLOSE, WRITE_AND_UNLOCK, WRITE_ANDX, WRITE_BULK, WRITE_BULK_DATA, WRITE_COMPLETE, WRITE_MPX, WRITE_MPX_SECONDARY, WRITE_PRINT_FILE, WRITE_RAW)

• Other (ECHO, TRANS_CALL_NMPIPE, TRANS_MAILSLOT_WRITE, TRANS_PEEK_NMPIPE, TRANS_QUERY_NMPIPE_INFO, TRANS_QUERY_NMPIPE_STATE, TRANS_RAW_READ_NMPIPE, TRANS_RAW_WRITE_NMPIPE, TRANS_READ_NMPIPE, TRANS_SET_NMPIPE_STATE, TRANS_TRANSACT_NMPIPE, TRANS_WAIT_NMPIPE, TRANS_WRITE_NMPIPE)

14 distinct WRITE operations ?!??

SMB 2.0 - 19 Commands• Protocol negotiation, user authentication and share access

(NEGOTIATE, SESSION_SETUP, LOGOFF, TREE_CONNECT, TREE_DISCONNECT)

• File, directory and volume access(CANCEL, CHANGE_NOTIFY, CLOSE, CREATE, FLUSH, IOCTL, LOCK, QUERY_DIRECTORY, QUERY_INFO, READ, SET_INFO, WRITE)

• Other(ECHO, OPLOCK_BREAK)

• TCP is a required transport• SMB2 no longer supports NetBIOS over IPX, NetBIOS over UDP or NetBEUI

SMB 2.1• Performance improvement

• Up to 1MB MTU to better utilize 10Gb/E• ! Disabled by default !

• Real benefit required app support• Ex. Robocopy in W7 / 2K8R2 is multi-threaded

• Defaults to 8 threads, range 1-128

SQL Server SMB support• < 2008

• Using UNC path could be enabled with trace flag• Not officially supported scenario• No support for system databases• No support for failover clustering

• 2008 R2• UNC path fully supported by default• No support for system databases• No support for failover clustering

Two things happened

SQL Server 2012

Windows Server 2012

SQL Server 2012• UNC support expanded

• System Databases supported on SMB

• Failover Clustering supports SMB as shared storage

• … and TempDB can now reside on NON-shared storage • Mark Souza commented: Great Suggestion!

Windows Server 2012• InfiniBand

• NIC Teaming

• SMB 3.0• RDMA• Multichannel• SMB Direct

New “old” interconnects InfiniBand characteristics• Been around since 2001• Used mainly for HPC clusters and Super Computing• High throughput• RDMA capable• Low latency• Quality of service• Failover• Scalable

InfiniBand throughputNetwork Bottleneck Alleviation: InfiniBand (“Infinite Bandwidth”) and High-speed Ethernet (10/40/100 GE)

• Bit serial differential signaling• Independent pairs of wires to transmit independent data (called a lane)• Scalable to any number of lanes• Easy to increase clock speed of lanes

(since each lane consists only of a pair of wires)

• Theoretically, no perceived limit on the bandwidth

InfiniBand throughputNetwork Speed Acceleration with IB and HSE

InfiniBand throughput

Most commercial implementations use 4x lanes

56Gb/s - 64/66 bit encodingÞ 6,8GB/s pr port

SDR - Single Data RateDDR - Double Data RateQDR - Quad Data RateFDR - Fourteen Data RateEDR - Enhanced Data RateHDR - High Data RateNDR - Next Data Rate

InfiniBand throughputTrends in I/O Interfaces with Servers

PCIe Gen2 4x:2GB/s Data RateÞ 1,5GB/s Effective Rate

PCIe Gen2 8x:4GB/s Data RateÞ 3GB/s Effective Rate

(I/O links have their own headers and other overheads!)

InfiniBand throughputLow-level Uni-directional Bandwidth Measurements

InfiniBand uses RDMA(Remote Direct Memory Access)

HSE can support RoCE(RDMA over Converged Ethernet)

RoCE makes a huge impact on small I/O

InfiniBand latencyEthernet Hardware Acceleration• Interrupt Coalescing

• Improves throughput, but degrades latency

• Jumbo Frames• No latency impact; Incompatible with existing switches

• Hardware Checksum Engines• Checksum performed in hardware -> significantly faster• Shown to have minimal benefit independently

• Segmentation Offload Engines (a.k.a. Virtual MTU)• Host processor “thinks” that the adapter supports large Jumbo frames, but the adapter splits it into regular

sized (1500-byte) frames• Supported by most HSE products because of its backward compatibility -> considered “regular” Ethernet

InfiniBand latencyIB Hardware Acceleration

• Some IB models have multiple hardware accelerators • E.g., Mellanox IB adapters

• Protocol Offload Engines • Completely implement ISO/OSI layers 2-4 (link layer, network layer and transport layer) in

hardware

• Additional hardware supported features also present • RDMA, Multicast, QoS, Fault Tolerance, and many more

InfiniBand latencyHSE vs IB

• Fastest 10Gb/E NIC’s 1-5 µs• Fastest 10Gb/E switch 2,3 µs

• QDR IB 100 nano sec => 0,1 µs• FDR IB 160 nano sec => 0,16 µs - slight increase due to 64/66 encoding

• Fastest HSE RoCE end to end 3+ µs• Fastest IB RDMA end to end <1 µs

InfiniBand latencyLinks & Repeaters

• Traditional adapters built for copper cabling• Restricted by cable length (signal integrity)• For example, QDR copper cables are restricted to 7m

• Optical cables with Copper-to-opticalconversion hubs• Up to 100m length• 550 picoseconds copper-to-optical conversion latency

• That’s 0,00055 µs or 0,00000055 ms

File Shares – the new BlackWhy file shares?• Massively increased stability

• Cleaned up protocol• Transparent Failover between cluster nodes

• with no service outage!

• Massively increased functionality• Multichannel• RDMA and SMB Direct

• Massively decreased complexity• No more MPIO, DSM, Zoning, HBA tuning, Fabric zoning etc.

apps• Zero downtime• Small IO delay during failover

• Supports• Planned moves• Load balancing• OS restart• Unplanned failures• Client redirection (Scale-Out only)

• Supports both file and directory operations

• Requires:• Windows Server 2012 Failover

Clusters• Both server running application and

file server cluster must be Windows Server 2012
