Physical System Notes

BIOS settings used:
Minimum Processor Idle Power Core State set to C3 State
Power Profile set to Custom
Thermal Configuration set to Increased Cooling

Storage Notes

Each port of the SUT's QLogic QMH2562 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA was connected to
a Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class module. Each SAN Switch
module was connected via one 8Gb Fibre Channel link to 1 x StorageWorks
8/24 SAN switch. 5 x StorageWorks P2000 storage enclosures were connected
via 2 x 8Gb Fibre Channel links to the StorageWorks SAN switch. All P2000's
contained 24 x 146 GB SFF 15 K SAS drives and were partitioned into 4 x vdisks.
Each vdisk was configured as RAID10 with 6 drives and contained one tile's VMs.

Virtualization Software Notes

Settings made to drivers via esxcfg-module in ESX:
for qla2xxx driver: ql2xmaxqdepth=164
All VMs' for a given tiles were assigned to the virtual switch attached to one of the 10GbE ports. Each
10 GbE port was assigned to 5 tiles except for the fourth port which supported 4 tiles. The partial tile
ran on the third port. The second virtual NIC for the appserver, dbserver, infraserver
and the webserver were attached to an internal virtual switch unique to their tile. These internal
switches were set to use jumbo frames by using the command: esxcfg-vswitch -m 9000 vSwitch[x].
All VMs started from ESX using command: vmware-cmd {path to vmx file} start
Advanced ESX Software settings used:
/adv/BufferCache/SoftMaxDirty = 75

For the Db and App VMs of odd tiles sched.cup.affinity set to 20-39 and sched.mem.affinity set to numa node 1

Client Driver Notes

Each physical client runs 3 virtual clients. Each virtual client uses 1 x vCPU, 2 GB memory, and 1 x 1Gb NIC port.
The first virtual client on the first pysical client is dedicated as the prime controller
One virtual client was used for each tile.

Other Notes

A single ProCurve 2910al 48-port switch was used to connect clients to SUT.
The 10GbE ports were attached to a dual port 10 GbE SFP+ expansion module (J9008A)
All 4 of the 10Gb NIC ports were used for networking for the benchmarking. A
single port on one NC464m was used to access the vConsole for administration.
1 x StorageWorks 8/24 SAN Fibre switch was used to connect the SUT to the external storage.
