SQL Server 2012 Performance with VMAXe FASTVP and AlwaysOn Availability Groups (Local) Objective: Characterize performance & functionality of virtualized SQL Server 2012 using AlwaysOn replication –Run production TPC-E workload (baseline) with FASTVP enabled for Production only (no replica) –Create and enable availability group (Read-only secondary database replicas on FASTVP enabled storage). –Re-run same production TPC-E workload. Characterize the performance of both source & secondary replicas. –Execute read-only workloads (Analytics/OLAP) on the secondary replica –Achieve 30,000 IOPS

Best Practices: First and foremost 1.Don’t over complicate things 2.Plan for performance not capacity 3.Plan for recovery and not backup 4.Maximize the technology you own 5.Understand the applications using SQL Server SQL Server is just the database!

Key Perfmon Counters Perfmon CounterDescription Disk Reads/sec Disk Writes/sec Disk Transfers/sec Measures: Number of IOPs - Read, Write, Total Average Disk Bytes/Read Average Disk Bytes/Write Measures: Size of I/Os Larger I/Os tend to have higher latency (for example, BACKUP/RESTORE operations issue 1 MB transfers by default). Average Disk sec/Read Average Disk sec/Write Measures: Disk latency 1 - 5 milliseconds (ms) for Log (ideally 1 ms or less on average)  ms for Database Files (OLTP) (Ideally 10 ms or less on average) Data Warehousing / DSS – does not apply! Current Disk Queue Length Measures: # of outstanding I/Os waiting to be read or written from the storage. High queue depths + high latencies = performance problem! High queue depth + low latencies = active and efficient system. Disk Read Bytes/sec Disk Write Bytes/sec Measures storage: bandwidth
