Cisco Public 10 About NVM Express (The Technology) • NVM Express (NVMe™) is an open collection of standards and information to fully expose the benefits of non-volatile memory in all types of computing environments from mobile to data center • NVMe™ is designed from the ground up to deliver high bandwidth and low latency storage access for current and future NVM technologies NVM Express Base Specification The register interface and command set for PCI Express attached storage with industry standard software available for numerous operating systems. NVMe™ is widely considered the defacto industry standard for PCIe SSDs. NVM Express Management Interface (NVMe-MI™) Specification The command set and architecture for out of band management of NVM Express storage (i.e., discovering, monitoring, and updating NVMe™ devices using a BMC). NVM Express Over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) Specification The extension to NVM Express that enables tunneling the NVM Express command set over additional transports beyond PCIe. NVMe over Fabrics™ extends the benefits of efficient storage architecture at scale in the world’s largest data centers by allowing the same protocol to extend over various networked interfaces. #CLUS BRKDCN-2494 © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Cisco Public 19 But First… SCSI • SCSI is the command set used in traditional storage • Is the basis for most storage used in the data center • Obviously, is the most obvious starting point for working with Flash storage • These commands are transported via: • Fibre Channel • Infiniband • iSCSI (duh!) • SAS, SATA • Works great for data that can’t be accessed in parallel (like disk drives that rotate) • Any latency in protocol acknowledgement is far less than rotational head seek time #CLUS BRKDCN-2494 © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 20 Evolution from Disk Drives to SSDs The Flash Conundrum • Flash • Requires far fewer commands than SCSI provides • Does not rotate (no latency time, exposing latency of a one command/one queue system) • Thrives on random (non-linear) access • Both read and write • Nearly all Flash storage systems use SCSI for access • But they don’t have to! #CLUS BRKDCN-2494 © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 21 So, NVMe… • Specification for SSD access via PCI Express (PCIe), initially flash media • Designed to scale to any type of Non Volatile Memory, including Storage Class Memory • Design target: high parallelism and low latency SSD access • Does not rely on SCSI (SAS/FC) or ATA (SATA) interfaces: New host drivers & I/O stacks • Common interface for Enterprise & Client drives/systems: Reuse & leverage engineering investments • New modern command set • 64-byte commands (vs. typical 16 bytes for SCSI) • Administrative vs. I/O command separation (control path vs. data path) • Small set of commands: Small fast host and storage implementations • Standards development by NVMe working group. • NVMe is de facto future solution for NAND and post NAND SSD from all SSD suppliers • Full support for NVMe for all major OS (Linux, Windows, ESX etc.) • Learn more at nvmexpress.org #CLUS BRKDCN-2494 © 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

    Chapter 6 MIDI, SCSI, and Sample Dumps

    MIDI, SCSI, and Sample Dumps SCSI Guidelines Chapter 6 MIDI, SCSI, and Sample Dumps SCSI Guidelines The following sections contain information on using SCSI with the K2600, as well as speciÞc sections dealing with the Mac and the K2600. Disk Size Restrictions The K2600 accepts hard disks with up to 2 gigabytes of storage capacity. If you attach an unformatted disk that is larger than 2 gigabytes, the K2600 will still be able to format it, but only as a 2 gigabyte disk. If you attach a formatted disk larger than 2 gigabytes, the K2600 will not be able to work with it; you could reformat the disk, but thisÑof courseÑwould erase the disk entirely. Configuring a SCSI Chain Here are some basic guidelines to follow when conÞguring a SCSI chain: 1. According to the SCSI SpeciÞcation, the maximum SCSI cable length is 6 meters (19.69 feet). You should limit the total length of all SCSI cables connecting external SCSI devices with Kurzweil products to 17 feet (5.2 meters). To calculate the total SCSI cable length, add the lengths of all SCSI cables, plus eight inches for every external SCSI device connected. No single cable length in the chain should exceed eight feet. 2. The Þrst and last devices in the chain must be terminated. There is a single exception to this rule, however. A K2600 with an internal hard drive and no external SCSI devices attached should have its termination disabled. If you later add an external device to the K2600Õs SCSI chain, you must enable the K2600Õs termination at that time.

Concern: Low latency of Next Gen NVM lost in (SCSI) translation. Why NVMe over Fabrics? Simplicity, Efficiency and End-to-End NVMe Model • Simplicity of protocol enables hardware automated I/O Queues – NVMe transport bridge • No translation to or from another protocol like SCSI (in firmware/software) • Inherent parallelism of NVMe multiple I/O Queues is exposed to the host • NVMe commands and structures are transferred end-to-end • Maintains the NVMe architecture across a range of fabric types • Maintains architecture and software consistency between fabric types by standardizing a common abstraction and encapsulation definition Performance Goal: Make remote NVMe access over fabrics equivalent to local PCIe attached NVMe,
