VM-Level Quality of Service

@Tintri

VISIBILITY across the IT Stack

End-to-end visibility

Root cause | Data-driven decisions


@Tintri

Guarantee the PERFORMANCE of every app

Automatic Performance Isolation for every app Policy-based VM Quality of Service (QoS)

Auto-tuning | No noisy neighbors

Tintri Global Center Advanced

Up to 10 PB 160,000 VMs 6.4M IOPS 32 VMstores


TGC Standard offers:• Real-time analytics and management for up to 32

VMstores and over 160K VMs • Manage policies for groups of VMs and maintain

those policies as VMs are moved• Automate management with REST API or

PowerShell

TGC Advanced adds:• Create pools of VMstores (mixed capacity,

performance, all-flash and hybrid)• Optimize VM distribution across pool with VM-level

software intelligence

VM data blocks are read from production storage

VM data blocks are processed by a backup proxy

The backup proxy sends the data to the target repository

Proxy server settings:

Transport mode

Connected datastores

Maximum concurrent tasks

@Tintri



Transport mode:

Automatic selection

Direct storage access

Failover to network mode.

@Tintri



Connected datastores:

Automatic detection

Manual selection

@Tintri



Configuration details:

• Settings > Data IPs

Proxy requires NFS access to theTintri VMstore• Settings > NFS access

Proxy requires Tintri VMstore “Data IP” access

@Tintri



Max concurrent tasks:

Default value is based on CPU cores

Each disk of every VM to beprocessed is a separate task

Tintri recommends a maximum of4 concurrent tasks for Direct NFSaccess mode

@Tintri



Why 4 max concurrent tasks?High throughput per backup or restore stream – tasks complete faster

New transport mode for NFS – direct pipeline may compete with hypervisor traffic

Recommendation may be updated as we gain a better understanding of customer deployments

Throttling Performance


• Global setting• Minimum value is 5 ms

I/O Control:

Enable Storage latency control

@Tintri

Throttling Performance


Network Traffic Rules:

• Proxy & repository

Throttle network traffic between backup infrastructure components

@Tintri



How to adhere to the recommended 4 task maximum:

Configure 1 proxy to use Directstorage access

Limit maximum concurrent tasks to 4

Configure additional proxy or proxiesto use Virtual appliance or Network

1

4

@Tintri



Based on scheduling requirements, create one or more backup jobs that use the proxy configured for Direct storage access

Create one or more jobs that use the proxy configured for Virtual appliance or Network

How to adhere to the recommended 4 task maximum:

@Tintri

“Restore entier VM” uses Direct NFS access mode



Recovery:

• Multiple VMDKs are restored sequentially

“Restore VM hard disks” uses Direct NFS access mode

@Tintri



Advanced Settings > vSphere:

VMware Tools quiescence cannot be enabled

Changed block tracking can be enabled

@Tintri



VMware KB 2010953 / Veeam KB 1681• Challenge exists with Virtual

appliance (hot-add) and NFS v3• VM may become unresponsive for

approximately 30 seconds

Direct NFS access may mitigate this challenge
