Physical System Notes

BIOS settings used:
Power Profile set to Maximum Performance
Thermal Configuration set to Increased Cooling
CPU Core Hardware Prefetcher set to 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

Each port of the SUT's HP StorageWorks 82Q 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA was connected
one 8Gb Fibre Channel link to 1 x StorageWorks 8/24 SAN switch. 4 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 3 x vdisks. Each vdisk was configured
as RAID10 with 8 drives and contained one tile's VMs.

Virtualization Software Notes

Settings made to drivers via esxcfg-module in ESX:
for qla2xxx driver: ql2xexecution_throttle=255, ql2xmaxqdepth=128, ql2xintrdelaytimer=1
for ixgbe driver: VMDQ=1,1 InterruptThrottleRate=2000,2000
All VMs' for a given tiles were assigned to the virtual switch attached to one of the 10GbE ports. One
10 GbE port was assigned to 8 tiles and one to 9 tiles. The second virtual NIC for the appserver, dbserver,
infraserverand 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

Client Driver Notes

Each physical client runs 4 virtual clients. Each virtual client uses 1 x vCPU, 3 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.

Power Configuration Notes

PTD[0] was connected to SUT only.
PTD[1] was connected to 6 x P2000 enclosures and 1 x StorageWorks 8/8 Fibre switches.

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)
