4 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Overview

1 Overview This compatibility matrix describes SAN components (such as switches, host bus Adapters, and operating systems) that have been tested in Dell storage labs. The testing results demonstrate that Dell SC Series, PS Series, and FS Series products, as tested and under normal operating conditions, will operate as expected and as described in Dell Storage product documentation.

The first portion of this document describes the Dell commitment to supporting the various products that have been tested and those products or components that have not been tested. This section describes a multi- tiered support policy that describes any limitations to a customer’s supportability for Dell and non- Dell components when those components or their constituent software (such as drivers and firmware) are not listed in this matrix.

The second part of this document lists switches that have been tested and confirmed to be interoperable with Dell SC Series, PS Series, and FS Series products. The resulting configurations are separated by networking technology (Fibre Channel or Ethernet) and product vendor/model.

The final section of this document details the hardware and software used when testing different host network connectivity devices (network interface controllers, converged network Adapters, and host bus Adapters) and storage initiators in a variety of operating-system environments. The results are separated by protocol and then grouped by operating system.

1.1 Definitions For the purposes of this document, the following definitions apply:

Storage solution: The end-to-end set of components, such as the operating system, network controller, switch, and switch firmware, and array firmware that permits a host to target communication.

Component: The individual parts of a storage solution in the form of host network interface Adapters, iSCSI initiators, iSCSI host bus Adapters, switches, and arrays.

Comparable models: These can include similar devices based on the same architecture and from the same vendor, or newer firmware versions.

1.3 Conventions used in this document Blue Text is used for all section titles. When visible in body text or tables, blue text indicates a change or addition from the previous version of the Dell Storage Compatibility Matrix (DSCM).

The remainder of the DSCM is organized by storage network component family starting with section 3. The following hierarchy is used:

• Component class (switch, host connectivity adapters, other components) • Array family (SC, SCv, PS, FS) • Component tables by storage protocol (FC, FCoE, iSCSI, etc.)

7 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Dell Storage support policy statement

2 Dell Storage support policy statement This compatibility matrix details devices that have been tested by Dell storage test labs. While Dell tests on a wide variety of devices, it is impossible to test every device or version for all vendors with which Dell Storage products can interoperate. Therefore, the information presented in this document does not constitute a complete list of what is supportable, but simply a list of what has been specifically tested.

Regardless of the support level (described in the following sections), Dell Storage customers will always be provided full contractual support of their storage solution.

Each row in a table defines a SAN component and the software or firmware that was tested with that component. Each of these entries constitutes a supportable configuration.

Based on this matrix, a customer configuration will be classified into one of three levels of supportability described below. Each level of supportability also references the requirement for designing the SAN subsystem using recommended practices suitable for the each Dell Storage product family. These recommended practices are documented in a variety of technical white papers as well as consolidated in the Dell EqualLogic Configuration Guide and the Dell SC Series knowledge center.

Contact your Dell sales representative with questions about how to classify your proposed configuration.

2.1 Level 1: Full contractual support For tested components listed in this compatibility matrix, (and for the specific firmware or software version listed), Dell will provide solution support under an active Dell ProSupport™ or Copilot support contract, assuming that all other components in the storage solution are also under contracted support with their respective manufacturers and that documented, recommended design best practices are followed.

Note: The exception is that iSCSI switches are not specifically listed in the support matrix. They are however supported if they meet the criteria specified in section 3.3.1.

2.2 Level 2: Conditional support In addition to the component versions tested by Dell and listed in this compatibility matrix, the compatibility of comparable hardware models can be projected based upon the results for the systems actually tested and will be designated as conditionally supported.

Dell will provide full contractual support for the storage solution under an active ProSupport or Copilot support contract, assuming that all components in the storage solution are also under contracted support with their respective manufacturers and that documented, recommended design best practices are followed.

Resolution of functional and/or performance issues may be out of Dell control. In such cases, these issues will need to be addressed by the applicable component or software/firmware vendor. If these issue(s) cannot be resolved in a timely manner by Dell or the component vendor, Dell may require, in its sole discretion and as a condition of continuing support, that the customer replace the component in question with one that was tested and/or will upgrade or downgrade to a supported software version.

8 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Dell Storage support policy statement

Examples of conditional support situations include, but are not limited to:

• If a switch or server Adapter shares the same underlying ASIC or chipset and is from the same vendor as a tested configuration, then it may produce similar results. • If a component is an identical model of a component listed, but differs in firmware or driver version, it may produce similar results for any firmware and/or drivers that are newer than those listed. For example, if version X of software/firmware has been tested and is listed as Level 1, then software/firmware versions newer than version X are expected to work.

Failure of a conditionally supported component to provide the same service level as the similar device listed (unless Dell has communicated end of support or a specific incompatibility for a particular product, firmware, or software version) would be treated as a bug that needs to be fixed by the device or software/firmware vendor.

2.3 Level 3: Commercially reasonable effort Level 3 support applies to components not listed within this compatibility matrix, or instances in which a customer has not or is not willing to apply accepted Dell recommended practices for the specific storage family’s SAN design and implementation. If the customer has an active support contract with the appropriate vendor(s), and an active ProSupport or Copilot support contract, Dell will provide storage solution full contractual support for all Dell branded components and provide commercially reasonable effort (CRE) support for any untested component of the configuration. This support level lasts until such time as it is determined, in Dell’s sole discretion that a problem lies within the untested component or results from the way they interoperate with Dell components.

Dell does not guarantee that issues undertaken on a CRE basis will be resolved in a timely fashion, or at all. There is a possibility that the customer would need to replace an untested component or take the affected system out of production to resolve the issues.

2.4 Level 4: No support Level 4 indicates that the device is not supported in any way for use with the specified array family as listed. While this is not a common occurrence, there are situations where specific features or functions required to support the array are not available in the device listed.

2.5 Support for cross-platform coexisting solutions Cross-platform coexisting solutions are defined as SAN environments that host more than one storage platform technology. In general, this could be two or more array technology solutions from the same vendor or different vendors. Examples include:

• A SAN solution that is hosting a Dell SC Series array as well as an EMC array solution, while sharing the same network resources • A SAN solution that is hosting a Dell SC Series array as well as a Dell PS Series array solution, while sharing the same network resources

Dell supports the following scenarios involving two or more array solutions sharing a common network infrastructure:

9 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Dell Storage support policy statement

• A Dell PS Series SAN infrastructure introducing or adding a Dell SC Series array solution to the existing PS Series SAN

Note: Any other array coexistence solution is not supported at the time of the publish date of this document.

This scenario implies that certain criteria will be assumed and only these configurations will receive Level 1 support:

• iSCSI only • A single IP subnet • PS Series Host Integration Tools may (or may not) be installed on individual hosts where supported

To determine the support level of the coexistence solution, the following rules apply:

• Level 1 support is provided, assuming that for each array solution (PS Series and SC Series), all of the components used (operating systems, Adapters, and switches) are listed in the matrices included in this document, and that the support policy statement described earlier in this document is applied to each solution • Level 2 support is provided if any included component qualifies for Level 2 support for either of the array solutions • Level 3 support is provided for any other solutions

2.6 FS Series additional support statement The FS Series of products are NAS appliances that work with the various Dell Storage PS Series and SC Series products. All FS Series products are tested for interoperability with their respective back-end storage array products, and Dell will support any and all issues arising in or between these products while the products are under warranty and/or under an active ProSupport or Copilot support contract for both products.

The following sections describe general support policies for the FS Series, particularly as they relate to the results published in this document. There are additional environmental and cabling considerations that should be taken into account when building a storage solution that includes FS Series NAS appliances.

Please consult other FS Series documentation or contact your Dell account representative to ensure that all the relevant factors have been taken into consideration.

2.6.1 Switch support policy Dell tests switches for two of the three networks associated with an FS Series NAS cluster, namely the back- end iSCSI or Fibre Channel (FC) network situated between the NAS controllers and the PS Series or SC Series storage arrays. The FS76x0 Series NAS appliances connect to the PS Series SAN arrays using the industry-standard iSCSI protocol, while the FS8000 Series NAS appliances connect to the SC Series SAN arrays using either iSCSI or Fibre Channel. For proper configuration, at least one switch is required (a minimum of two switches is recommended) to interconnect these products. Direct connection of any FS Series NAS appliances and the respective arrays is not supported.

The three levels of support described previously are applicable to the FS Series switches listed in this matrix for back-end network configuration.

10 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Dell Storage support policy statement

There are two other networks associated with an FS76x0 Series cluster, namely the front-end connection to the customer’s existing client network, and the cluster or private interconnect network for communication between FS76x0 Series controllers. Both of these networks are Ethernet based.

Any Ethernet switch listed for use as a back-end switch is also valid for use as a private interconnect network switch and can be used for both back-end and private simultaneously.

2.6.2 Client OS environment support policy Although Dell tests the FS Series NAS solution in a variety of client operating system environments, this document does not provide resulting compatibility data. The statements made with respect to compatibility for the FS Series in this document are not to be construed as a guarantee of interoperability or supportability of client operating systems.

2.6.3 MD Series support policy statement The following MD Series array products have separate set of support documentation currently available on the website:

• MD34xx/38xx : http://dell.to/1Ov6cYQ • MD32xx/36xx : http://dell.to/1HOZiZP

General support is provided as follows:

• Level 1 support for iSCSI and FC for all industry-standards-based switches • Level 1 support for iSCSI software-based initiators for the supported shipping versions of the following operating systems: • Microsoft® Windows® • Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® • SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server • VMware® ESX®/ESXi™ • Level 1 support for all standards-based Ethernet NICs for use with the above iSCSI software-based initiators, including those that support TCP-offload functionality • Level 1 support for all RFC 3720 compliant iSCSI hardware-based initiators/HBAs • Level 1 support for Brocade®, QLogic®, and Emulex® Fibre Channel HBAs as listed in section 18 of the support matrix documents listed previously in this section.

All other devices and software not currently listed previously or in the linked support matrix documents would be supported on a Level 3 (commercially reasonable effort) basis.

2.7 Other statements

2.7.1 Operating system, switch, and server adapter settings Although this document does not cover recommended practices, optimized SAN or NAS solutions consisting of supported hardware and software (as defined in this document) are based on recommended practices documented in Dell white papers. These documents are downloadable from Dell Support and are frequently updated with recommended practices and recommended settings for various operating systems, switches, and server adapters.

11 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Dell Storage support policy statement

2.7.2 Server interoperability This compatibility matrix details interoperability from the storage array to various server hosts through a switched network and one or more network Adapters or host bus Adapters (HBAs). Testing of, and support for, a specific server platform (such as Dell PowerEdge™ servers) was not performed as part of this program and customers should visit the server vendor’s website to determine which operating systems and Adapters are supported by the server vendor.

2.7.3 Host connectivity adapters and server vendor support This matrix lists many host network Adapters and HBAs that have been tested for use within the indicated Dell Storage array family SAN environment. It is not implied that all of these Adapters and their driver/firmware stacks are supported by any or all server vendors. The reader must ensure that the host network Adapter and its associated drivers are included on the vendor's hardware compatibility list. This recommendation also applies to Dell PowerEdge server products. Inclusion in this document's adapter compatibility tables should not be interpreted as that adapter and driver/firmware combination as being supported by any vendor’s for use with their server products.

2.7.4 Persistent FCIDs With HP-UX 11i v1 and v2, it is recommended to operate Storage Center in Legacy port mode in concurrence with the use of Persistent FCID (Cisco) or Persistent PID (Brocade FOS v6.0.4 or newer & 8GB only) switches (switch-wide or per VSAN accordingly to vendor specifications).

With HP-UX 11i v3 (Agile Addressing/Naming), the Storage Center can be operated in either Legacy or Virtual port modes. The use of Persistent FCID or Persistent PID is not required for use with HP-UX 11i v3.

Additional information regarding switch level port persistency can be obtained from published Copilot Services Technical Alerts (CSTAs) located on Knowledge Center at the Dell SC Customer Portal.

The Dell Storage Software Suite for AIX v2.2.0.x introduces new features, enhancements and remove the need of certain legacy requirements. These new features and enhancements are as noted below. This will be the only package made available by Dell to customers requesting this driver package and will replace the existing PCM v1.2.0.1 (and v1.0.0.5) currently in use.

• Supports AIX v6.1 thru v7.1 • Supports use of Storage Center in Virtual port mode • Negates the need of use of Persistent FCID/PID-enabled switches • Enhanced hdisk lscfg details • Allows AIX OS to survive Storage Center controller failover events of up to 60 seconds

2.7.5 Limits of supportability If any recommendations made by Dell to resolve customer issues — whether they are functional or performance related — are not followed, Dell cannot guarantee that the issue can be resolved to the satisfaction of the customer. The ability of Dell to provide customer support is dependent on the customer’s willingness to implement solution recommendations from Dell.

3.3 iSCSI Switches

3.3.1 1/10 iSCSI Switches (SC, SCv, and FS Series) Dell supports the use of a 1/10Gb Ethernet switch for use within SC Series iSCSI SAN solutions which meets a minimum set of criteria that Dell has determined are necessary to ensure the proper functionality of the SAN solution.

Note: For FluidFS, the iSCSI SAN switch may also be used for Interconnect (in multi-appliance configurations) and so Jumbo Frames should be supported independently of storage array.

Dell ProSupport service offerings will provide customers contractual support (Level 1 support) for iSCSI SAN based connectivity in a dedicated SAN infrastructure using any Ethernet switch that provide the following functionality and features:

• All switching components in the SAN must have active support contracts in place with device vendor • Non-blocking backplane • Link level flow control (IEEE 802.3x) on ingress/inbound switch ports (also known as “Rx Flow Control” or “receive-side flow control” from the switch port’s point of view) • Dynamic packet buffer management with a minimum of: • 4MB of packet buffer for 1Gbps switches • 9MB of packet buffer for 10Gbps switches • Ability to configure ports to immediate forwarding state for edge ports (may be known as “portfast” mode) • Jumbo Frames (MTU 9000+ bytes) support if enabled on storage array • Unicast storm control configuration • VLAN and VLAN Tagging support • Switch has a valid support contract in effect from the switch vendor at the time of the incident Protocols and standards requirements: • IEEE 802.1 AB LLDP • IEEE 802.1p L2 Prioritization • IEEE 802.1X Network Access Control • IEEE 802.3x Flow Control • IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-X) with QSA • IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tagging, Double VLAN Tagging, GVRP if enabled on storage array • IEEE 802.3ac Frame Extensions for VLAN Tagging • IETF RFC793 TCP • IETF RFC1042 Ethernet Transmission

These features are typically present in certain classes of switches from switch vendors that are targeted at data center environments. These switches may be described by switch vendors as “enterprise class”, “top of rack” or “data center edge” offerings.

Please work with your Dell storage expert to determine whether your switch is suitable for use with an iSCSI SAN solution.

16 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM 1/10Gb Switches (PS Series)

3.3.3 1/10Gb Switches (PS Series) For PS Series arrays, switches listed in this section are supported at Level 1 (as described previously) for the switch firmware versions listed and PS Series array operating system versions.

Note: Attaching 10GbE arrays to switches that are designed and provide predominately 1GbE ports (1GbE switches) is not supported due to the potential of performance limitations that could result in data- unavailable scenarios. By design, 1GbE switches typically do not have the resources to manage 10GbE edge traffic.

Note: PS6210/6610 and PS4210 can be attached to 1GbE switches via the switch’s 1GbE RJ-45 ports. In this mode, the array will operate at 1Gb only.

3.4 iSCSI over DCB support (SC, SCv and PS Series) The following table indicates switches that have been tested with each array family’s native iSCSI over DCB features.

SC Series arrays, with the release of SC Operating System (SCOS) 7.0 now support iSCSI over DCB. With this support, the SC series supports the following DCB standards:

• IEEE 802.1Qbb – Priority Flow Control • IEEE 802.1Qaz – Enhanced Transmission Selection • IEEE 802.1Qaz – Data Center Bridging Exchange Protocol (IEEE DCBx)

Note: SC Series arrays do not support pre-IEEE DCBx standards such as converged enhanced Ethernet (CEE) or data center Ethernet (DCE) for iSCSI over DCB functionality. Switches that are listed in the table below that only support these pre-IEEE versions are designated as “L4” indicating there is “No Support”.

Note: SC Series iSCSI over DCB is supported on controllers using the Chelsio T5xxx iSCSI Adapters at this time.

28 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Host connectivity

4 Host connectivity Configurations listed in this section are supported at Level 1 for the listed Adapter/NIC operating system/driver/firmware and array firmware combinations.

The model SCv2000, SCv2020, and SCv2080 only support a subset of host operating systems. These are:

• Citrix XenServer (now known as Hypervisor), • Microsoft Windows Server, • SUSE SLES • RHEL • VMware ESXi

All other supported Storage Center models support all OS’s and adapters listed in the following table.

Boot from SAN is tested with some OS-adapter combinations. If the BFS column has a “Y”, then Boot from SAN was successfully tested with this OS-Adapter combination. If the BFS column has an “N”, then Boot from SAN was not tested and is supported as Level 3, Commercially reasonable effort as described in 2.3 above. If the BFS column has a “Not Supported”, then Boot from SAN has not been tested and is not supported, as described in section 2.4 above.

Unless otherwise noted, the OS-provided native multipath IO functionality for all validations listed.

4.1 Required Adapter and Server OS Settings Server host bus adapters and converged network adapters (hereafter called adapters) require specific configuration settings in order to maintain IO during Storage Center controller failovers and network/fabric path failovers. Some of these settings are identical for all supported operating systems and others vary by operating system. Refer to Appendix A, Required Adapter and OS Settings.

4.3.4 Network interface cards for boot from SAN and DCB support for iSCSI (PS Series) Network interface controllers (NIC) are the simplest class of host connectivity interfaces and provide basic Ethernet and TCP/IP functionality to the server. For storage solutions, this class of Adapters must be paired with special software within the host server operating system called a storage initiator. Dell will support any industry standards based NIC with the software iSCSI initiators listed in section 4.

The devices below have each been tested and are supported for boot from SAN functionality

89 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Software iSCSI initiators (PS Series)

4.3.5 Software iSCSI initiators (PS Series) Software iSCSI initiators are typically provided by the host OS vendor and can be used with any industry-standards-based network interface controller (NIC). The following table provides guidance on which software iSCSI initiators have been tested with each platform and the support level for advanced features, such as boot from SAN and data center bridging (DCB) functionality. It should be noted that Microsoft Windows and Red Hat Enterprise Linux provide some level of software DCB functionality, but it has not been tested by Dell and is supported on an L3 basis. If DCB is needed to allow for a converged SAN/LAN network, it is preferable that an iSCSI CNA with iSCSI Hardware Offload capability be used.

If boot from SAN functionality is desired, it is advised that the design include one of the Adapters listed in section 4 to ensure the indicated support level.

A.2.1.2 Recommended MPIO registry settings for Windows Server 2008r2

The recommend registry settings listed in this section can be applied using the registry editor (regedit.exe) or through PowerShell. The registry editor can be used on all versions of Windows Server Desktop (Windows Server with a GUI).

MPIO Registry Settings: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mpio\Parameters Default Recommended Setting name Description value value PDORemovePeriod This setting controls the number 20 120 of seconds that the multipath pseudo-LUN remains in system memory, even after losing all paths to the device. When this timer value is exceeded, pending I/O operations will be failed, and the failure is exposed to the application rather than attempting to continue to recover active paths. The maximum time allowed is MAXULONG (49,000 seconds). PathRecoveryInterval This represents the period after 40 25 which PathRecovery is attempted. This setting is only used if it is not set to 0 and UseCustomPathRecoveryInterval is set to 1.

110 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Required Adapter and Server OS Settings

MPIO Registry Settings: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mpio\Parameters Default Recommended Setting name Description value value UseCustomPathRecoveryInterval If this key exists and is set to 1, it 0 1 allows the use of PathRecoveryInterval. PathVerifyEnabled This flag enables path verification 0 1 by MPIO on all paths every N seconds (where N depends on the value set in PathVerificationPeriod).

This Boolean function must be filled with either 0 (disable) or 1 (enable). By default, it is disabled. PathVerificationPeriod This setting is used to indicate 30 no change the number of seconds with which MPIO has been requested to perform path verification. This field is only honored if PathVerifyEnabled is TRUE. This timer is specified in seconds. The default is 30 seconds. The maximum allowed is MAXULONG. RetryCount This setting specifies the number 3 no change of times a failed I/O if the DSM (FC or iSCSI determines that a failing request systems) must be retried. This is invoked when DsmInterpretError() returns 15 (front-end Retry = TRUE. The default SAS systems setting is 3. only) RetryInterval This setting specifies the interval 1 no change of time (in seconds) after which a failed request is retried (after the DSM has decided so, and assuming that the I/O has been retried a fewer number of times than RetryCount). This value is specified in seconds. The default is 1 second. DiskPathCheckEnabled If the DiskPathCheckEnabled key - 1 is set to a nonzero value, the MPIO component creates a path recovery worker.

111 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Required Adapter and Server OS Settings

MPIO Registry Settings: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mpio\Parameters Default Recommended Setting name Description value value DiskPathCheckInterval If the DiskPathCheckInterval key - 25 is set to 0, or if the key does not exist, the MPIO component uses a default time interval. The default time interval is half of the time that is set in the PDORemovePeriod parameter.

This parameter sets the delay between each re-login attempts. MaxConnectionRetries Maximum number of times a lost TCP 4294967295 no change connection will be retried. (indefinitely) MaxPendingRequests This setting controls the maximum 255 no change number of outstanding requests allowed by the initiator. At most this many requests will be sent to the target before receiving response for any of the requests. EnableNOPOut If set to 1, the initiator will send NOP 0 1 OUT PDUs to target if there is no activity for 2 minutes. MaxTransferLength This is maximum data size of an I/O 262144 no change request. (256KB) MaxBurstLength This is the negotiated Max Burst 262144 no change Length. (256KB) FirstBurstLength This is the negotiated First Burst 65536 no change Length. (64KB) MaxRecvDataSegmentLength This is the negotiated 65536 no change MaxRecvDataSegmentLength. (64KB) IPSecConfigTimeout This timeout value is used when the 60 no change driver calls the discovery service to configure\release IPsec for an iSCSI connection. InitialR2T If set to Non-Zero value, initiator will 0 no change request InitialR2T (InitialR2T=Yes). Else initiator will not request InitialR2T (InitialR2T=No). ImmediateData If set to Non-Zero value, initiator will 1 (Yes) no change request ImmediateData (ImmediateData=Yes). Else initiator will not request ImmediateData (ImmediateData=No). PortalRetryCount This value is used to determine how 5 no change many times a connect request to a target portal should be retried if the portal is down.

Recommended iSCSI initiator registry settings location: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1- 08002BE10318}\\Parameters Default Recommended Setting name Description value value NetworkReadyRetryCount This value is used to determine how 10 no change many times initiator should retry getting the IP address of NIC corresponding to the PortNumber specified in the login request. ErrorRecoveryLevel Error recovery level that the initiator will 2 no change request.

Enable RFC1323 Timestamps

Enable RFC1323 timestamps (TCP High Performance Extensions) to prevent sequence number wrap under high load, known as Prevention Against Wrapped Sequence (PAWS). High-load iSCSI connections are prone to this issue, particularly at 10GbE or higher. Run this command at elevated CMD prompt to add a registry key (set to value of 2 by default; this is the desired value):

netsh int tcp set global timestamps=enabled

The registry setting can be checked and confirmed as shown below:

• HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters\Tcp1323Opts • Values: 0 = Timestamps + windows scaling disabled 1 = Windows Scaling Enabled 2 = Timestamps enabled ✓ 3 = both enabled

Disable Nagle’s Algorithm

To disable delayed ACK and Nagle’s algorithm, create the following DWORD 32-bit entries for each SAN interface subkey in the Windows Server registry:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ Create or verify these DWORD 32-bit entries. Set them to a value of 1 (disabled) TcpAckFrequency TcpNoDelay

Note: A reboot is required for any registry changes to take effect. Alternatively, unloading and reloading the initiator driver will also cause the change to take effect. In the Device Manager GUI, under Storage controllers, right-click Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, and select Disable to unload the driver. Then, select Enable to reload the driver.

Enable RFC1323 Timestamps

Enable RFC1323 timestamps (TCP High Performance Extensions) to prevent sequence number wrap under high load, known as Prevention Against Wrapped Sequence (PAWS). High-load iSCSI connections are prone to this issue, particularly at 10GbE or higher. Run this command at elevated CMD prompt to add a registry key (set to value of 2 by default; this is the desired value):

netsh int tcp set global timestamps=enabled

The registry setting can be checked and confirmed as shown below:

• HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters\Tcp1323Opts • Values: 0 = Timestamps + windows scaling disabled 1 = Windows Scaling Enabled 2 = Timestamps enabled ✓ 3 = both enabled

Disable Nagle’s Algorithm

To disable delayed ACK and Nagle’s algorithm, create the following DWORD 32-bit entries for each SAN interface subkey in the Windows Server registry:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ Create or verify these DWORD 32-bit entries. Set them to a value of 1 (disabled) TcpAckFrequency TcpNoDelay

Disable NIC Interrupt Modulation:

1. Click Adapter Settings. 1. Right-click the adapter and select Properties. 2. Under the Networking tab, click Configure. 3. Under the Advanced tab, select Interrupt Moderation and choose Disabled.

Note: A reboot is required for any registry changes to take effect. Alternatively, unloading and reloading the initiator driver will also cause the change to take effect. In the Device Manager GUI, under Storage controllers, right-click Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, and select Disable to unload the driver. Then, select Enable to reload the driver.

A.2.3 Linux (Red Hat, SuSE, Oracle, Ubuntu)

A.2.3.1 FC PortDown timeout

The HBA PortDown timeout parameter dictates how long a Linux system waits before destroying a connection after being losing its connectivity with the port. The PortDown timeout is generally set to 60 seconds for the SC Series storage system.

To configure the PortDown timeout in the HBA driver module, add or append the following options to the appropriate HBA driver module configuration file and reload the driver module.

A. For Qlogic, add in /etc/modprobe.d/qla2xxx.conf

options qla2xxx qlport_down_retry=60

Reload the module

# modprobe –r qla2xxx # modprobe qla2xxx

B. For Emulex, add in /etc/modprobe.d/lpfc.conf

options lpfc lpfc_devloss_tmo=60

Reload the module

# modprobe –r lpfc # modprobe lpfc

A.2.3.2 Verifying parameters

To verify that the configuration changes have taken effect, examine the driver module parameter values in their respective files.

A. For QLogic:

# cat /sys/module/qla2xxx/parameters/qlport_down_retry

B. For Emulex:

# cat /sys/module/lpfc/parameters/lpfc_devloss_tmo

# cat /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/lpfc_devloss_tmo #where X is the HBA no.

A.2.3.3 FC/iSCSI volume multipath configuration

A basic template can be copied from /usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath- /multipath.conf to /etc/multipath.conf as a starting point. Any settings that are not defined explicitly in the file would assume the default values. The full list of these settings can be obtained using the following command. Specific SC Series storage system settings can be found by searching for COMPELNT from the output.

122 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Required Adapter and Server OS Settings

# multipathd –k"show config"

To avoid confusion and as a best practice, it is recommended to always explicitly define the SC Series storage in /etc/multipath.conf. The following example show multipath configuration for SC Series volumes on RHEL 6 and newer. Please note that these configurations apply only in FC and iSCSI implementations. The SAS multipath configuration is discussed in section A.2.3.5 and should be used instead in SAS implementations.

defaults { user_friendly_names yes find_multipaths yes }

devices { device { vendor "COMPELNT" product "Compellent Vol" path_grouping_policy multibus path_selector "service-time 0" # See note below path_checker tur features "0" hardware_handler "0" prio const failback immediate rr_weight uniform no_path_retry queue } }

Note: "round-robin 0" is the default for RHEL 6 and older. "service-time 0" is the default for RHEL 7 and newer. Both are acceptable values for SC Series FC/iSCSI volumes.

Once the configuration file is in place, reload multipathd with the updated configuration.

# multipath -r # multipath –ll

A.2.3.4 iSCSI timeout for multipath environments

The pre-configured iSCSI settings, defined in /etc/iscsi/iscsi.conf, work with SC Series storage system when the Linux system is also configured to use dm-multipath. It is a best practice to use dm- multipath for path redundancy and failover. It is important to note the following timeout settings because they directly affect the storage availability and failure recovery for a SAN storage system. When a SC Series storage system controller fails, services and volumes fail over to the surviving controller and this failover might take up to 60 seconds. Therefore ensure the iSCSI timeout settings are sufficient to accommodate this kind of events. These pre-configured timeout settings, listed below, work well with SC Series storage systems.

• node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 5 • node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 5

123 Dell EMC Storage Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays | DSCM Required Adapter and Server OS Settings

• node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 120

A.2.3.5 SAS volume multipath configuration

SAS connectivity to a Linux system requires specific configuration schema in the /etc/multipath.conf file. Add the following device section to /etc/multipath.conf used exclusively for SAS-connected Linux systems. The following example define the configuration parameters for all devices identified by vendor="COMPELNT" and product="Compellent Vol".

devices { device { vendor COMPELNT product "Compellent Vol" path_checker tur prio alua path_selector "service-time 0" path_grouping_policy group_by_prio no_path_retry 24 hardware_handler "1 alua" failback immediate rr_weight priorities } }

A properly configured SAS volume will return the following multipath -ll output. This SC Series volume is discovered as a multipath ALUA-capable volume, where each path is capable of I/O. The path represented by prio=50 (active/optimized path) is used for all active I/O requests. The path represented by prio=1 (standby path) is a highly available, redundant path and is used when the active/optimized path becomes unavailable.
