Thermal Configuration set to Maximum Cooling
Minimum Processor Idle Power Core State set to C6 State
Collaborative Power Control set to Disabled
Processor Power and Utilization Monitoring is set to Disabled

Storage Notes

Each port of the SUT's HP StorageWorks 82Q 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA was connected
1 x StorageWorks 8/24 SAN switch. 9 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. Only one vdisk was used on the ninth P2000

Virtualization Software Notes

The following boot options were used:
intel_iommu=on clocksource=tsc idle=halt elevator=deadline selinux=0 audit=0
The following services are disabled:
atd, autofs, avahi-daemon, crond, cups, iptables, ip6tables, irqbalance, iscsi, iscsid, ksm, ksmtuned, postfix, rhnsd, rpcbind
sysctl.conf changes:
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 4096
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2 = 8192
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 8192
net.ipv4.neigh.default.base_reachable_time = 86400
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_stale_time = 86400
net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 4096
net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh2 = 8192
net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 8192
net.ipv6.neigh.default.base_reachable_time = 86400
net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_stale_time = 86400
Network configuration is as follows:
Three software bridges are created (br0-br2). The first two are bound to one 10GbE port each on the SolarFlare NIC
The third bridge (br2) is not used
The first 1GbE port (eth2) is for host access.
The sfc driver is configured with the command:
sfboot sriov=enabled vf-count=72 msix-limit=128 vf-msix-limit=1
120 virtual functions were used for the Web, App, DB, Mail, and Infra VMs. On the host, Ethernet devices
eth0 and eth1 are the 2 physical functions for the Solarflare 10Gb Ethernet ports. These are used by
the host to provide physical transport for the virtual functions.
VM configurations are as follows:
All VMs are managed with libvirt and created using virsh utility
All VMs are created with the following XML template (exceptions noted below template):
<domain type='kvm'>
<name>$vm_name</name>
<memory>$vm_memory</memory>
<currentMemory>$vm_memory</currentMemory>
<vcpu cpuset='$host-cpu-list'> 1</vcpu>
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='rhel6.2.0'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>

<memballoon model='none'>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</memballoon>
</devices>
</domain>
After VMs are started, virtual functions are utilized by using command
'virsh attach $vm_name $device.xml' to hot-plug the interface into VM, where $device.xml has the form:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain=/'0x0000/' bus=/'0x$bus/' slot=/'0x$slot/' function=/'0x$func/'/>
</source>
</hostdev>
Idle VMs do not use SR-IOV for network adapter, and therefore do not have hot-plug device added.
App VMs have their CPU shares increased from default of 1024 to 4096 with the following XML:
<cputune> <shares>4096</shares> </cputune>
VMs are bound to host CPUs via their XML configuration in the following manner:
All VMs of number tiles 1-12 are bound to NUMA node 0
All VMs of number tiles 13-25 are bound to NUMA node 1
10Gb network virtual function IRQs are bound to CPUs of NUMA node used by VM in a round-robin fashion
First QLogic FC port IRQs are bound to last CPU in node 0
Second QLogic FC port IRQs are bound to last CPU in node 1
IRQs for eth0 are bound to the CPUs in node 0
IRQs for eth0 are bound to the CPUs in node 1
Configuration file /etc/modprobe.d/qla2xxx.conf for QLogic FC includes:
options qla2xxx ql2xmaxqueues=8 ql2xmultique_tag=1
VMs' nice value was set after startup via the renice command to the following settings:
appservers = -11
dbserver = -10

infraserver = -4

Client Driver Notes

Each physical client runs 7 virtual clients. Each virtual client uses 2 x vCPU, 4 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)
