� This session explores three scenarios for optimizing storage and using the thousands of performance data records that you have collected but have no time to examine in detail. Based on real-world customer experiences with the analytics functions in Spectrum Control Advanced Edition, we share key scenarios that show how you can leverage the Advanced Edition to help you in each of these cases:
1. When you need more storage what type and tier does you workload actually need?
2. After new storage added, what's the best way to evenly redistribute the workload?
3. When it's time to retire an aging storage device, where should you move the volume to?

Is your data on the ‘right’ storage tier?
� Requirements change over time
� Data owners are risk averse
� Users don’t see the total cost
� Rationing resources is unpopular
… but the biggest challenge has been:
� No objective way to determine what the ‘right
tier’should be!
…so data stays on top tier storage (expensive)
• Resources that should be spent on innovation
are wasted on infrastructure inefficiencies
Challenges:

Benefits of using Spectrum Control
� Reduced labor costs
– Helps to identify problems in the storage environment
– Single step execution reduces multiple manual steps needed to resolve issues
– Scheduled execution enable optimizations to be run at less disruptive times without
manual oversight
� Reduced storage costs
– Re-tiering and balancing will result in a better utilized storage environment
– Transform actions can re-characterize volumes to achieve higher storage utilization
� Proactive and reactive performance resolution
– Identifies and addresses performance problems caused by unbalanced storage pools
and improperly tiered volumes

SVC Easy Tier versus Spectrum Control Analytics
� Why should you not simply create one hybrid storage pool in SVC?
Here are some reasons that might prevent you from using the most easiest
setup of a tiering implementation with just one large hybrid storage pool:– You might have more than one location, so you will need more than one storage pool
– You might have to separate internal customers from one another (multi tenancy) so you need more than one pool
– If availability is a concern for you, than you probably don’t want to add more than one storage system into one pool
– Workload isolation
– If you have: You will likely use:
or a combination of Easy Tier and VSC Tiering because the two are complementary
Use Easy Tier
Use Spectrum Control
– A small number of pools– Only hybrid pools (with mirroring)
– Many different drive technologies:SSD/Flash, 146GB 15krpm, 600GB 10krpm, 1,2TB 10krpm,2TB NL-SAS, 4 TB NL-SASand/or multiple RAID levels

Storage Optimization: Tiering across pools
Spectrum Control will only give one recommendation per volume.
Volume movement could be up or down multiple tiers based on performance data analysis.
Spectrum Control Optimization can help determine the best place to move the volumes based on the real work
load
![Page 12: S016579 data-optimization-spectrum-control-brazil-v2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a66479e7f8b9a47688b4eef/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

When will you need more storage?
� Go to:Groups � Tiers
� Look for dates in
“Zero Capacity”
Note: you can sort
on this column
– <Date> when no free
space is left
– None – no or
negative growth
– Depleted – no space
left in tier
� The “Growth”
columns provide
a trend

Hot Data
� Once a hot (very active) volume is found, how is
a more appropriate location (tier) found for that
volume?
� Moving the volume to a higher tier of storage with capacity may cause other problems:
� The target pool could be pushed past acceptable response based on the added load
� Volumes that were performing well in the target may degrade due to contention
Cold Data
� The same situation occurs for cool
volumes, how is a more
appropriate location (tier) found for
that volume?
� Blindly moving a volume to another
storage pool without any metrics is
just a guess … there is a better
way

SVC Easy Tier versus VSC Tiering Analysis
SVC Easy Tier VSC Tiering Analysis
Purpose Find and optimize hottest extents Move workloads between pools
Optimization strategy
Avoids creation of hot spots on mdisks, based on “knowledge” of micro tiersDoes only act if there is a large variation of the response times (skew)
Multiple Strategies:• Standard: move volumes out of tier/pool if
activity limit is exceeded. • Advanced: depending on policy settings
(IO rate or IO density and/or age)
Analysis • Monitors cumulative response time per MDisk (in the same pool).
• Runs continiously
• Monitors activity score per pool (in the same tier) over multiple days
• On-demand or scheduled
Granularity Extent Volume, but analysis can be initiated for storage system, pools, volumes, servers or hypervisors
Boundary/type of pool
Hybrid pools (tiering within pools also called micro tiering) � can potentially reduceavailability
One or more Tiers (each tier can be multiple pools)
Analysis timeframe Cannot be adjusted Can be adjusted
Automation/Control
• Completely automatic • semi-automated tool for lifecyclemanagement
• Range of tiers determined by service class
Initial tier placement
Depends on available capacity and cannot be controlled� Tiering?
Tier determined by service class settings and current workload
Move/swap One tier at a time Volume can “jump” across multiple tiers
Life Cycle Mgmt No yes
Also included Balancing of mdisks within pool Balancing workload across multiple pools of the same tier level
