In this post, I will show how a server for that purpose can easily be setup. The previous posts which also mention details about the used hardware can be found here, here, and here.
The purpose of this storage server is to be used for LHC data storage which is mostly consistent of GB sized files. At the time of using these data files as input for user jobs, typically the whole file is copied over to the local node where the user job runs. That means that the configuration needs to deal with large sequential read and writes, but not with small random block access.
The typical hardware configuration of the storage servers we have is:
- Server with PERC H700 and/or H800 hardware raid controller
- 36 disk slots available
- on some server available through 3 external PowerVault MD-devices (3x12 disks)
- on some servers available through 2 external PowerVault MD-devices (2x12disks) and 12 internal storage disks
- 10Gbps network interface
- Dual-CPU (8 or 12 physical cores on each)
- between 12GB and 64GB of RAM
In this blog post, as I did before, I will describe the ZFS setup based on a machine with 12 internal disks (2TB disks on H700) and 24 external disks (17x8TB + 7x2TB on H800). The machine is already setup with SL6 and has the typical GridPP software (DPM clients, xrootd, httpd,...) installed.
Preparing the disks
Since both raid controllers don't support JBOD, first single raid0 devices have to be created. To find out which disks are available and can be used, omreport can be used:
[root@pool7 ~]# omreport storage pdisk controller=0|grep -E "^ID|Capacity"
ID : 0:0:0
Capacity : 1,862.50 GB (1999844147200 bytes)

ID : 0:0:11
Capacity : 1,862.50 GB (1999844147200 bytes)
ID : 0:0:12
Capacity : 278.88 GB (299439751168 bytes)
ID : 0:0:13
Capacity : 278.88 GB (299439751168 bytes)
The disks 0:0:12 and 0:0:13 are the system disks in a mirrored configuration and shouldn't be touched. The disks 0:0:0 to 0:0:11 can be converted to single raid0 using omconfig:
for i in $(seq 0 11);
do
omconfig storage controller controller=0 action=createvdisk raid=r0 size=max pdisk=0:0:$i;
done
The same procedure has to be repeated for the second controller.
After that, the disks are available to the system and to find out which are the 2TB and which are the 8TB disks, lsblk can be used:
[root@pool7 ~]# lsblk |grep disk
sda 8:0 0 278.9G 0 disk
sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk

sdaj 66:48 0 1.8T 0 disk
sdak 66:64 0 1.8T 0 disk
/dev/sda is the system disk and shouldn't be touch, but all the other disks can be used for the storage setup.
ZFS installation
The current version of ZFS can be downloaded from the ZFS on Linux web page. Depending on the used distribution, there are also instructions on how to install ZFS through the package management. In the worst case, one can download the source code and compile on the own system.
Since we use SL which is RH based, we can follow the instructions provided on the page .
After the installation of ZFS through yum, the module needs to be loaded using modprobe zfs to continue without a reboot.
To have file systems based on zfs automounted at system start, unfortunately also selinux options need to be changed. In the selinux config file, in our case at /etc/sysconfig/selinux, we need to change "SELINUX=enforcing" to at least "SELINUX=permissive"
This will probably be needed as long as zfs is not part of the RH distribution and zfs will not be recognized by selinux as a valid file system. More about this issue can be found here.
ZFS storage setup
Since we have the ZFS driver installed and the disks prepared now, we can continue to setup the storage pool.
In this example, we create 2 different storage pools - one for the 2TB disks and one for the 8TB disks - as a good compromise between possible IOPS and available space. For ZFS, it doesn't matter if the disks within one storage pool are connected through the same controller or through different ones, like in our case for the 2TB disks. For the configuration, it's decided to use raidz2 which has 2 redundancy disks similar to raid6. Also, one disk of each kind will be used as hot spare.
To do so, we need to find all disks of a given kind in the system and creating a storage pool for these disks using zpool create :
[root@pool7 ~]# lsblk |grep 1.8T
sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk
sdc 8:32 0 1.8T 0 disk

[root@pool7 ~]# zpool create -f tank-8TB raidz2 sdn sdo sdp sdq sdr sds sdt sdu sdv sdw sdx sdy sdz sdaa sdac sdaf spare sdai
After the zpool create commands, the storage is setup in a raid configuration, a file system created on top of it, and mounted under /tank-2TB and /tank-8TB. There are no additional commands needed and all is available within seconds.
At this point the system looks like:
[root@pool7 ~]# mount|grep zfs

Setting additional filesystem properties
Since there is lz4 available as compression algorithm which has a very small impact on performance, we can enable compression on our storage. This has probably not a large impact on the storage of LHC data, but could lower the storage space for non-LHC experiments that will be supported in the near future.
In addition, the storage of xattr will also be changed to a similar behaviour like in ext4.
Also since we have a spare configured in our pools, we need to activate auto replacement in failure cases making it a hot spare. An interesting feature of ZFS is also to grow the pool size if the disks are replaced by new disks with a larger capacity. This needs to be done for all disks within one vdev to have an effect, but can be done one by one over time.
[root@pool7 ~]# zfs set compression=lz4 tank-2TB
[root@pool7 ~]# zfs set compression=lz4 tank-8TB
[root@pool7 ~]# zpool set autoreplace=on tank-2TB

Changing disk identification
Using the disk identification by letters, like sdb or sdc, is easy to handle and good to setup a pool. However, the order how disks are identified could be changed on a reboot and also will change if the disks need to be rearranged on the server, for example after replacing one of the external MD devices.
While in such cases ZFS should still be able to identify the disks belonging to the same pool and import the pool, it is better to use the disk IDs to identify disks. To change this behaviour, we only need to export the pool and import using the disk IDs:
[root@pool7 ~]# zpool export -a
[root@pool7 ~]# zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id tank-8TB
[root@pool7 ~]# zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id tank-2TB
Making the space available to DPM
Traditionally, the available space on a large vdev was divided into smaller parts by creating partitions in fdisk. In ZFS however this can be done directly on top of the just created pool. All properties set for the top level ZFS will be distributed to the new zfs too. There will be no need to set the compression property or other properties again, except if one wants to have different properties than before.
A new file system is created by using zfs create :
[root@pool7 ~]# zfs create -o refreservation=9T tank-8TB/gridstorage01
[root@pool7 ~]# zfs create -o refreservation=9T tank-8TB/gridstorage02
[root@pool7 ~]# zfs create -o refreservation=9T tank-8TB/gridstorage03

Here a new property is set for each file of the new file systems - refreservation - which reserves the specified space for this particular file system, making sure this space is guaranteed. This is different to setting a quota which limits the space only to an upper limit. However, to make sure the specified space is not exceeded in our case, also a quota of the same size should be specified. For the last file system in each pool, a larger amount could be specified which makes sure that all the space that can't be used by the other file systems due to quota limitations, will be used here.

ZFS configuration options
To customize the ZFS behaviour, 2 main config files are available - /etc/sysconfig/zfs and /etc/zfs/zed.d/zed.rc. I will not go into detail here about these 2 files, but if you want to setup your own ZFS based storage then have a look here. The options within are mainly self explaining, for example you can specify where to send email for disk problems and under which circumstances.
As final section, I want to mention 2 very useful commands - zpool history and zpool iostat.
With the first command, one can display all commands that were run against a zpool since its creation together with a time stamp. This can be very useful for error analyses and also to repeat a configuration on another server.
[root@pool6 ~]# zpool history tank-2TB

The second command, zpool iostat, displays the current I/O on the pool, separately for read/write operations and for bandwidth. Information can be displayed for a given pool but also for each disk within the pool.
The following example is taken from a server that was configured with 3 raidz2 while it was drained using the dpm-drain command on the head node with threads=1 and one drain per file system, resulting in 5 parallel drain commands running:
[root@pool5 ~]# zpool iostat 1
capacity operations bandwidth
pool alloc free read write read write

One important point to keep in mind is that all the properties set with zfs or zpool are stored within the file system and not within the OS config files! That means, if the OS gets upgraded then one can do a zpool import and all properties - like mount point, quota, reservations, compression, history - will instantly be available again. There is no need to touch manually any system config file, like /etc/fstab, to make the storage available. This is also true for other properties, like nfs sharing, but since it's not needed in our case I haven't described that. To get an idea what properties are available and what else one can do with ZFS, zfs get all and zpool get all are useful.
