Flexible Lustre Management
Flexible Lustre management Making less work for Admins ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle for the US Department of Energy How do we know Lustre condition today • Polling proc / sysfs files – The knocking on the door model – Parse stats, rpc info, etc for performance deviations. • Constant collection of debug logs – Heavy parsing for common problems. • The death of a node – Have to examine kdumps and /or lustre dump Origins of a new approach • Requirements for Linux kernel integration. – No more proc usage – Migration to sysfs and debugfs – Used to configure your file system. – Started in lustre 2.9 and still on going. • Two ways to configure your file system. – On MGS server run lctl conf_param … • Directly accessed proc seq_files. – On MSG server run lctl set_param –P • Originally used an upcall to lctl for configuration • Introduced in Lustre 2.4 but was broken until lustre 2.12 (LU-7004) – Configuring file system works transparently before and after sysfs migration. Changes introduced with sysfs / debugfs migration • sysfs has a one item per file rule. • Complex proc files moved to debugfs • Moving to debugfs introduced permission problems – Only debugging files should be their. – Both debugfs and procfs have scaling issues. • Moving to sysfs introduced the ability to send uevents – Item of most interest from LUG 2018 Linux Lustre client talk. – Both lctl conf_param and lctl set_param –P use this approach • lctl conf_param can set sysfs attributes without uevents. See class_modify_config() – We get life cycle events for free – udev is now involved. What do we get by using udev ? • Under the hood – uevents are collect by systemd and then processed by udev rules – /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lustre.rules – SUBSYSTEM=="lustre", ACTION=="change", ENV{PARAM}=="?*", RUN+="/usr/sbin/lctl set_param '$env{PARAM}=$env{SETTING}’” • You can create your own udev rule – http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html – /lib/udev/rules.d/* for examples – Add udev_log="debug” to /etc/udev.conf if you have problems • Using systemd for long task. -

In Search of the Ideal Storage Configuration for Docker Containers Vasily Tarasov1, Lukas Rupprecht1, Dimitris Skourtis1, Amit Warke1, Dean Hildebrand1 Mohamed Mohamed1, Nagapramod Mandagere1, Wenji Li2, Raju Rangaswami3, Ming Zhao2 1IBM Research—Almaden 2Arizona State University 3Florida International University Abstract—Containers are a widely successful technology today every running container. This would cause a great burden on popularized by Docker. Containers improve system utilization by the I/O subsystem and make container start time unacceptably increasing workload density. Docker containers enable seamless high for many workloads. As a result, copy-on-write (CoW) deployment of workloads across development, test, and produc- tion environments. Docker’s unique approach to data manage- storage and storage snapshots are popularly used and images ment, which involves frequent snapshot creation and removal, are structured in layers. A layer consists of a set of files and presents a new set of exciting challenges for storage systems. At layers with the same content can be shared across images, the same time, storage management for Docker containers has reducing the amount of storage required to run containers. remained largely unexplored with a dizzying array of solution With Docker, one can choose Aufs [6], Overlay2 [7], choices and configuration options. In this paper we unravel the multi-faceted nature of Docker storage and demonstrate its Btrfs [8], or device-mapper (dm) [9] as storage drivers which impact on system and workload performance. As we uncover provide the required snapshotting and CoW capabilities for new properties of the popular Docker storage drivers, this is a images. None of these solutions, however, were designed with sobering reminder that widespread use of new technologies can Docker in mind and their effectiveness for Docker has not been often precede their careful evaluation. -

The commoditization of the (binary translation) that enabled the execution of privileged x86 platform and its rapidly growing hardware capabilities have (OS) instructions from virtual machines on x86 systems [16]. led to recent exponential growth in the use of virtualization both Another notable effort was the Xen project, which in 2003 used in the enterprise and high performance computing (HPC). The a jump table for choosing bare metal execution or virtual startup time of a virtualized environment is a key performance machine execution of privileged (OS) instructions [17].

Resource Management: Linux Kernel Namespaces and Cgroups
Resource management: Linux kernel Namespaces and cgroups Rami Rosen [email protected] Haifux, May 2013 www.haifux.org 1/121 http://ramirose.wix.com/ramirosen TOC Network Namespace PID namespaces UTS namespace Mount namespace user namespaces cgroups Mounting cgroups links Note: All code examples are from for_3_10 branch of cgroup git tree (3.9.0-rc1, April 2013) 2/121 http://ramirose.wix.com/ramirosen General The presentation deals with two Linux process resource management solutions: namespaces and cgroups. We will look at: ● Kernel Implementation details. ●what was added/changed in brief. ● User space interface. ● Some working examples. ● Usage of namespaces and cgroups in other projects. ● Is process virtualization indeed lightweight comparing to Os virtualization ? ●Comparing to VMWare/qemu/scaleMP or even to Xen/KVM. 3/121 http://ramirose.wix.com/ramirosen Namespaces ● Namespaces - lightweight process virtualization. – Isolation: Enable a process (or several processes) to have different views of the system than other processes. – 1992: “The Use of Name Spaces in Plan 9” – http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/names.html ● Rob Pike et al, ACM SIGOPS European Workshop 1992. – Much like Zones in Solaris. – No hypervisor layer (as in OS virtualization like KVM, Xen) – Only one system call was added (setns()) – Used in Checkpoint/Restart ● Developers: Eric W. biederman, Pavel Emelyanov, Al Viro, Cyrill Gorcunov, more. – 4/121 http://ramirose.wix.com/ramirosen Namespaces - contd There are currently 6 namespaces: ● mnt (mount points, filesystems) ● pid (processes) ● net (network stack) ● ipc (System V IPC) ● uts (hostname) ● user (UIDs) 5/121 http://ramirose.wix.com/ramirosen Namespaces - contd It was intended that there will be 10 namespaces: the following 4 namespaces are not implemented (yet): ● security namespace ● security keys namespace ● device namespace ● time namespace. -

What are the benefits of virtualization? ▪ Simplification – use of standardized images, virtualized hardware, and automated configuration of virtual infrastructure ▪ Migration – one of the first uses of virtualization, enable coexistence, phased upgrades and migrations. It can also simplify hardware upgrades by make changes transparent. ▪ Efficiency – reduced hardware footprints, better utilization of available hardware resources, and reduced time to delivery. Reuse of deprovisioned or relinquished resources. ▪ Resilience – run new versions and old versions in parallel, avoiding service downtime ▪ Cost savings – having fewer machines translates to lower costs in server hardware, networking, floor space, electricity, administration (perceived) ▪ To accommodate growth – virtualization allows the IT department to be more responsive to business growth, hopefully avoiding interruption 3 © Copyright IBM Corporation 2018 Agenda • Benefits of -
