  • Recommendations for Aligning VMFS Partitions
    VMWARE PERFORMANCE STUDY VMware Infrastructure 3 Recommendations for Aligning VMFS Partitions Note: This paper is now considered obsolete. For the latest information on this topic please consult Performance Best Practices for VMware vSphere® 4.0. Partition alignment is a known issue in physical file systems, and its remedy is well documented. The goal of the testing reported in this paper was to validate the assumption that unaligned partitions also impose a penalty when the partition is a VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMware VMFS) partition. This paper lists a summary of the results of our testing, recommendations for VMware VMFS partition alignment, and the steps needed to create aligned VMware VMFS partitions. It covers the following topics: • Executive Summary on page 1 • Recommendations on page 2 • Instructions for VMware VMFS Partition Alignment Using fdisk on page 2 • Instructions for Guest File System Alignment on page 3 • Caveats on page 5 • Background on page 5 • Performance Results on page 8 • Conclusion on page 10 • References on page 10 Executive Summary Our testing validates the assumption that VMware VMFS partitions that align to 64KB track boundaries result in reduced latency and increased throughput. Partition alignment on both physical machines and VMware VMFS partitions prevents performance I/O degradation due to unaligned tracks. Creating VMware VMFS partitions using the Virtual Infrastructure Client (VI Client) that is part of VMware Infrastructure 3 results in a partition table aligned on the 64KB boundary as storage and operating system vendors recommend. Throughput Increase Latency Decrease Min = 2% Average = 12% Min = 7% Average = 10% Max = 62% Max = 33% 1 Recommendations for Aligning VMFS Partitions Note: These recommendations are for block-based storage solutions, not those that are IP- based.
