Storage Notes

Each port of the SUT's HP QLogic QMH2572 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA was connected
1 x HP B-series 8/24 SAN Switch for BladeSystems. One port from each SAN switch
was connected to an external StorageWorks 8Gb SAN switch. 7 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

The following boot options were used:
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.ipv6.neigh.default.base_reachable_time = 86400
net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_stale_time = 86400
Network configuration is as follows:
Two software bridges are created (br0, br1). Each bridge is to one 10GbE port on the 554FLB NIC
Two virtual bridges were created (specbr0, specbr1) for intra VM traffic.
The first 10GbE port is partitioned via the HP VC Flex-10 Enet Module
into one 1Gb port (eth0) for host access and one 9Gb port (eth2) for client access.
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)

Idle VMs do not use SR-IOV for network adapter, and therefore use a different bridge (br2)
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 1-10 are bound to NUMA node 1
All VMs of number tiles 11-20 are bound to NUMA node 0
The appserver and dbserver of tile 21 are bound to NUMA node 1 and the rest of tile 21's VMs to node 0
10Gb network 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 eth1 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
idleserver = 19
infraserver = -4
mailserver = 6
webserver = -1

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)
