That works just fine. Just be aware that if you are using RAID-DP you want to start with 3 disks, not two. -- Adam Fox adamfox(a)netapp.com -----Original Message----- From: Sto Rage(c) [mailto:netbacker@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, September 22, 2006 12:53 PM To: Brosseau, Paul Cc: Jeff Mery; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Re: Mixed disk sizes within a single aggregate On 9/20/06, Brosseau, Paul <Paul.Brosseau(a)netapp.com> wrote: > > > Mixing disk sizes in an aggregate is not a problem as long as you > create RAID groups for each kind of disk.

Here's a situation FAS270 with 2 shelves with 144GB FC drives. RG size is set to 16 for a single aggregate with 26 disks (2 spares). This resulted in 2 RAID groups, 1 with 16 disks and the other with 10. Now we plan to add a 3rd shelf with 300GB FC drives. If we do the regular "aggr add" it will first add the 2 spare 144GB drives, then add 4 new 300GB drives by right sizing them to match the 144GB ones. In order to maximize the capacity on this aggregate, I'd prefer to add 12 of the new drives to a new RAID group but within the same aggregate. Is something like this possible? Haven't tried this as we don't have the new shelf yet, but can I reduce the raidsize option for the aggregate from 16 to 12, then add the 2 existing spares such that that the 2nd raid-group is now full based on raidsize=12 option. Now add the new shelf and run "aggr add aggr0 12" to add 12 new 300GB drive leaving 2 spares? RAID group /aggr0/plex0/rg0 - 16 disks (144GB each) RAID group /aggr0/plex0/rg1 - 12 disks (144GB each) <-- add the existing 2 spares RAID group /aggr0/plex0/rg2 - 12 disks (300GB each) Spares - two new 300GB drives. I think it would work, any comments? -G

Technically, doing any of this (mixing drive speeds in RGs or drive sizes in RGs) will work just fine. The only issue is the potential of performance degradation in the future once\if the system is under stress. The drives spinning slowest will take the longest to have writes flushed to them - thusly forcing the CP to take longer and impacting the entire system. This is true within RGs or across multiple RGs in an aggregate. Heck, this is true even if you have multiple aggregates and one is comprised of slower disks than the others (or is slow due to other reasons such as workload, fragmentation, etc) - a write (CP) is a GLOBAL ENTITY and it is atomic in nature: if you have data in a CP for multiple RGs\TradVols\Aggrs and one takes forever to flush to disk, then the WHOLE CP takes forever. That said, all of this 'chicken little\sky falling' stuff is just conjecture. On a lightly loaded system, you'll never see issues. Only under stress will all of this stuff bubble to the surface. Oh - and FWIW, if you write data in a less-than optimal fashion, then subsequent reads will have the same issues (higher latencies), potentially causing performance problems. Remember - all of this could still take place and you could potentially never see the effects depending on the circumstances and how the applications handles increased latencies. I hope all of that is clearly written?

When the stripes fill the equivalent of the smaller disks, wafl will start striping only on the larger disks.

Right. Pretty much all of this very long discussion centers on one concept: the old adage "as strong as the weakest link". Only in this case, it's as fast as the slowest link.

Yeah a read would have to wait for the slower disk to spin around to the proper block while all the faster disks have already provided the data. -Matthew

More FCAL adapters are better - spread the workload out as much as possible, but as Myles said, you're not going to see a workload go beyond the limit of a single adapter (typically). That said, if you have a large enough workload, you might see the head run out of resources before the FCAL loop does. When not using cluster, MPIO is a great way to go to help spread the load pretty evenly across adapters.

With that in mind, you'll want to spread your raidgroups across as many loops as possible and within budget. Concerning different sized 10k rpm disks, just realize that since 144GB disks are larger than 72GB disks, you will eventually have more data on the 144GB raid group, so generally you will see more I/O toward that set of disks, but the RPM is the same, and the performance characteristics are basically identical. On Thu, 21 Sep 2006, Jeff Mery wrote: Thanks for the responses everyone. Just to confirm... ...WAFL does indeed stripe each flexvol across all disks in the aggregate. If you have a flexvol that's 5% of your total aggregate space, it's safe to conclude that it's using 5% of each disk in your aggregate (assuming aggregate disks are all the same size). This was the impression I got from the documentation and then confirmed by the group. ...We don't have any mixed performance disks in our system (everything is 10K RPM), just mixed sizes. Creating a separate RG for each disk size is a good idea; this prevents wasting any larger disks on parity for smaller ones. Thanks for the suggestion. It seems we still have some confusion around what happens with performance in this mixed-disk scenario as well as the impact of a single aggregate spanning multiple FC adapters.

RE: Performance Indicators
by Glenn Walker 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

I believe that this is more along the lines of QoS (though not true QoS and not guaranteed). What Jochen is looking for is a bit difficult: you can't really guarantee performance on the head due to workload differences. Each of the machines Jochen listed is a very capable machine - but selling IOPS to a user is not easy. Each workload is different, each application would require a different amount of IOPS in order to facilitate functionality (hard to define these sometimes), you can't easily segregate workloads and adding workload from one user\system would definitely affect existing workloads. For example: CIFS typically requires about 5 IOPS to open a file as a minimum - if you add some newer functionality from 2k3\XP and MS Office, you could be talking about hundreds of IOPS to open a file (pulling file metadata). Perhaps the best thing to do is to talk to sales to get actual numbers, but simply list the capabilities of the filer and manage how the workload is spread among them. One last point: when you speak of performance, you mentioned IOPS - this is workload, not performance. Performance is more a measure of latency at a particular level of work: ie, how much latency for a given amount of IOPS. If I stated that the R200 was capable of about 12000 IOPS (CIFS) per second, that would be true - but I could also position it as being capable of higher if the latencies of the workload were to increase (still the same amount of work, but response time would decrease). You could speak to the user-base about performance in terms of latency and IOPS.

Need Advice for changing qtree from Unix to NTFS security style
by Stephen C. Losen 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

We have a filer that serves files in a qtree with both NFS and CIFS. The file security style is currently Unix. The qtree has about 7000 files using about 150G. CIFS authentication is done via a Windows DC and we have a Unix passwd NIS map for converting the Windows users to Unix users. There are over 100 folks using this share. Each one owns a directory (not a home directory -- just storage) and each one wants to be able to grant some of the 100 other users access to their folder. Plus they have an admin who needs to be able to manipulate access rights on everything. Obviously Unix security style isn't going to cut it. So we want to switch the qtree to NTFS security style. We switched a test qtree from Unix to NTFS style and discovered that no one (not even a Windows user with admin privs in the domain) has "modify" or "full control" rights on any file or folder that already exists. So it looks like we can't change the ACLs on anything that already exists. If a Windows user creates a new folder or file, then he has the ability to change the ACL. Has anyone else switched a qtree from Unix to NTFS style? Is there anything we can do either before or after we switch the security style to make it possible to set ACLs on files that already exist? I didn't try logging in to CIFS as a local filer user. Is that the secret? I suppose we could create a new empty qtree with NTFS style and copy the files from the old qtree to the new one. But I would really like to avoid that if possible. Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 434-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support

Looks like I was wrong here. The owner of the file or folder does have full control. So I guess I can chown everything to me and then from my Windows account I can set all the ACLs. I'll check and see if the local filer "administrator" user can do it. Steve Losen scl(a)virginia.edu phone: 434-924-0640 University of Virginia ITC Unix Support
