Physical System Notes

BIOS settings used:
HP Power Profile: Maximum performance
Thermal configuration: Maximum Cooling
Processor Power and Utilization Montoring: Disabled
Primary cache architecture for the processor is 512 KB I cache on chip per chip
with 64 KB shared per 2 cores, and 16 KB D cache on chip per core

Storage Notes

All storage accessed with 1 HP Smart Array P420i controller and 2 dual port HP Smart Array P421 controllers.
The P420i controller has 8 x 400 GB MLC SSD internal drives attached.
4 x D2700 disk enclosures are connected via 2 dual port HP Smart Array P421 controllers.
Each D2700 contains 8 x 400 GB MLC SSD drives.
Total drive count is 40.
Each Smart Array controller creates 1 RAID 10 LUN by all its attaching disks.
The LUN on P420i controller contains 2 tiles' VMs.
Each LUN of P4201 controller contains 8 tiles' VMs.

Virtualization Software Notes

Settings made to drivers via esxcfg-module in ESX:
for ixgbe driver: InterruptThrottleRate=2000,2000 (default: 16000,16000)
for be2net driver: heap_max=20971520
All VMs were assigned to the virtual switch attached to one of the 10GbE ports. The other 10GbE
port was not used. The second virtual NIC for the infraserver and webserver were attached to an
internal virtual switch. The internal switch was set to use jumbo frames by using the command:
esxcfg-vswitch -m 9000 internal.
ALL VMs were bound to a NUMA node by running VMware vSphere PowerCLI command:
New-AdvancedSetting -Entity (Get-VM -Name $vm_name) -Name numa.nodeAffinity -Value $node_id -Type VM
All appserver VMs of tiles 1-16 were bound to NUMA node 0,1,2,3 and allocate memory from node 0,1,2,3
All other VMs of tiles 1,2,3,4 were bound to NUMA node 0 and allocate memory from node 0
All other VMs of tiles 5,6,7,8 were bound to NUMA node 1 and allocate memory from node 1
All other VMs of tiles 9,10,11,12 were bound to NUMA node 2 and allocate memory from node 2
All other VMs of tiles 13,14,15,16 were bound to NUMA node 3 and allocate memory from node 3
All VMs of tiles 17 were bound to NUMA node 0,1 and allocate memory from node 0,1
All VMs of tiles 18 were bound to NUMA node 2,3 and allocate memory from node 2,3
The guaranteed available memory of each VM was set by PowerCLI command 'Set-VMResourceConfiguration' to
the size of the VM memory.
The CPU allocation level of each VM was set by PowerCLI command 'Set-VMResourceConfiguration', and the
values are:
infraserver: normal
webserver: high
mailserver: custom 450
appserver: custom 4200
dbserver: custom 3200
idleserver: custom 600
All VMs started from PowerCLI using command: Get-VM -name $vm_name | Start-VM
Advanced ESX Software settings used:
/adv/BufferCache/SoftMaxDirty = 75
/adv/Disk/SchedNumReqOutstanding = 128

Client Driver Notes

All prime clients were VMs running on VMware ESXi 5.1.0.
The prime controller runs on the first vClient.
Each vClient has 2 vCPUs, 4GB memory, 1 virtual disk and 1 VMXNET3 virtual adapter.
All physical clients have 2 x 10 Gbps ports, 1 of the 2 ports is connected to the private network,
and is configured as virtual switch, all the vClients use the same virtual switch.
4 physical clients host 16 vClients, 4 vClients per physical system,
1 physical client hosts 2 vClients.

Other Notes

A single HP ProCurve 6120XG blade switch was used to connect SUT to clients.
