SQL Server 2012 Performance with VMAXe FASTVP and AlwaysOn Availability Groups (Local)
Objective: Characterize performance & functionality of virtualized SQL Server 2012 using AlwaysOn replication
– Run production TPC-E workload (baseline) with FASTVP enabled for Production only (no replica)
– Create and enable availability group (Read-only secondary database replicas on FASTVP enabled storage).
– Re-run same production TPC-E workload. Characterize the performance of both source & secondary replicas.
– Execute read-only workloads (Analytics/OLAP) on the secondary replica
– Achieve 30,000 IOPS

EMC VFCache Improves Server Performance
• Server Flash caching solution that uses intelligent caching software and hardware technology to reduce latency and increase throughput
• “Hottest” data accessed through VFCache in the server providing increased performance
• VFCache benefits SQL Server 2012:• Lower database I/O latency by 60%• 50% more I/O serviced within 1 ms• 4X more transactions per SQL Server
database• Perfect fit for OLTP workloads

Best Practices: First and foremost
1. Don’t over complicate things2. Plan for performance not capacity3. Plan for recovery and not backup4. Maximize the technology you own5. Understand the applications using SQL
Server• SQL Server is just the database!
13© Copyright 2012 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.
Best Practices
• It might not be about performance• But when it is isolate…
• Database Files RAID 5• Log Files RAID 1/0• Data Warehouse RAID 5 or 6
• Group workloads of similar I/O together

Key Perfmon CountersPerfmon Counter Description
Disk Reads/sec Disk Writes/sec Disk Transfers/sec
Measures: Number of IOPs - Read, Write, Total
Average Disk Bytes/Read Average Disk Bytes/Write
Measures: Size of I/OsLarger I/Os tend to have higher latency (for example, BACKUP/RESTORE operations issue 1 MB transfers by default).
Average Disk sec/Read Average Disk sec/Write
Measures: Disk latency 1 - 5 milliseconds (ms) for Log (ideally 1 ms or less on average) 5 - 20 ms for Database Files (OLTP) (Ideally 10 ms or less on average) Data Warehousing / DSS – does not apply!
Current Disk Queue Length
Measures: # of outstanding I/Os waiting to be read or written from the storage. High queue depths + high latencies = performance problem! High queue depth + low latencies = active and efficient system.
Disk Read Bytes/sec Disk Write Bytes/sec
Measures storage: bandwidth
