    Is your storage slowing down your HPC compute cluster?


    The Cray ClusterStor E1000 storage system is purpose-engineered to meet the demanding input/output requirements of supercomputers and HPC clusters in a very efficient way. The E1000 parallel storage system typically achieves the given HPC storage performance requirements with significantly fewer storage drives than alternative storage offerings. That means for HPC users with a fixed budget for the HPC system can spend more of their budget on CPU/GPU computes nodes accelerating time-to-insight. The Cray ClusterStor E1000 storage system embeds the Lustre® open-source parallel file system to deliver this efficient performance. Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides enterprise-grade customer support in-house and scales out (nearly) linearly, without software licensing for the file storage system per terabyte capacity or per storage drive. This allows customers to reap the benefits of the open-source community while getting enterprise-grade support from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

    Overview

    The ClusterStor E1000 is designed on NVMe generation 4 hardware building blocks based on the latest storage technologies to provide enhanced flexibility and resiliency. It is an I/O and storage subsystem consisting of a global POSIX single name space file system that is configured to provide access between compute clients and ClusterStor E1000 storage nodes using the Lustre parallel file system.


    ClusterStor E1000 offers four basic configurations:

    • − All Flash
    • − All Disk
    • − Hybrid
    • − Tiered with both Flash and Disk

    The all-flash configuration is suitable for lots of small, random read I/O, high sequential performance required in many AI applications including Machine Learning and Deep Learning. The base rack provides up to 1,530 GB/s read and up to 1170 GB/s write with Multi-Rail LNet. The expansion rack provides up to 1,700 GB/s read and up to 1,300 GB/s write with Multi-Rail LNet.


    The all-HDD configuration is used mainly for large sequential I/O and modeling and simulation. The base rack provides up to 102 GB/s read and write up to approximately 9.4 PB of usable capacity, depending on the HDD capacity used. The expansion rack provides up to 136 GB/s read and write up to 15PB of usable capacity, depending on the HDD capacity used.


    The hybrid configuration combines the best of flash and HDD performance into one configuration. The base rack provides up to 255 GB/s read and up to 195 GB/s write from flash pools with approximately 9.4 PB of usable HDD capacity, depending on the HDD capacity used. The expansion rack provides up to 340 GB/s read and up to 260 GB/s writes from flash pools with approximately 15PB of usable HDD capacity, depending on the HDD capacity used.


    Customers can utilize hybrid building blocks to combine flash and disk into one filesystem or mix and match the flash and disk building blocks in a tiered configuration to tailor to their workloads.

    Standard Features

    Cray ClusterStor E1000 Building Blocks

    ClusterStor E1000 is configured from storage building blocks along with surrounding network, rack and power infrastructure. These building blocks are:

    Cray ClusterStor E1000 System Management Unit (SMU)

    The ClusterStor E1000 system management unit contains a pair of embedded storage management nodes with SSDs to hold configuration and logging data, and runs the Tiering and Monitoring service, and can be configured as a data mover. The SMU delivers Lustre and ClusterStor system management services. ClusterStor system management is required for managing hardware configuration, software images, boot up of the underlying hardware system (servers, devices, software stack), monitoring system metrics and system health, reporting on system status, and advanced Lustre performance monitoring. The SMU runs a web and CLI server that allows the administrator to monitor, configure, and administer the file system, the ClusterStor management framework, and ClusterStor hardware. The SMU has APIs to allow administrators to export monitoring and health data to be consumed by existing data center monitoring tools.


    Cray ClusterStor E1000 MetaData Unit (MDU)

    ClusterStor E1000 MDUs stores and managers global Lustre metadata with a pair of Lustre metadata servers (MDS) and flash-based metadata targets (MDTs). An MDU is populated with 24 SSDs, two partitions with approximately half the capacity are each configured and are assigned to the two embedded controllers as MDTs using LDISKFS or OpenZFS. MDUs can be configured with multiple MDTs, with each controller configured with two high speed networks adapters.


    ClusterStor E1000 configures MDUs to support Lustre DoM, which allows small files or initial portions of files to be stored with their metadata, improving small file performance, stat performance to small files, and reducing interference between small file I/O and streaming I/O. The metadata tier stores metadata and optional DoM in RAID volumes.


    ClusterStor E1000 can scale additional MDUs using Lustre Distributed Name Space (DNE) to match specified performance targets.

    Cray ClusterStor E1000 Scalable Storage Unit – All Flash Array (SSU-F)

    ClusterStor E1000 SSU-F provides flash-based Lustre I/O data services and network request handling for the file system with a pair of Lustre object storage servers (OSS) each configured with a one or more Lustre object storage target(s) (OSTs) to store and retrieve the portions of the file system data that are committed to it. Two OSTs are distributed evenly between the two OSSs in each SSU-F so both OSSs are active concurrently (that is, OSSs are active-active), each operating on its own exclusive subset of the available OSTs (that is, each OST is active-passive).


    A ClusterStor E1000 SSU-F is populated with 24 SSDs. For a throughput optimized configuration, approximately half the capacity are each configured with ClusterStor’s GridRAID declustered parity using LDISKFS or OpenZFS and its parity declustering RAID support. For an IOPs optimized SSU-F configuration, a different RAID scheme with LDISKFS is used to improve small random I/O workloads. Each controller can be configured with two network adapters configured with Mult-Rail LNet to exploit maximum throughput performance per SSU-F.


    ClusterStor E1000 can be scaled to many SSU-Fs and/or combined with SSU-Ds or SSU-Ms to achieve specified performance requirements. ClusterStor SSU-D and SSU-M features are mentioned below.

    Cray ClusterStor E1000 Scalable Storage Unit – Disk (SSU-D)

    ClusterStor E1000 SSU-D provides HDD-based Lustre I/O data services and network request handling for the file system with similar OSS and OST features mentioned above for ClusterStor E1000’s SSU-F building block.


    ClusterStor E1000 has multiple SSU-D configurations with either one, two or four ClusterStor ultra-dense HDD enclosures. Each ultra-dense disk enclosure is configured with 106 SAS HDDs and contains two Lustre OSTs, each configured with ClusterStor’s GridRAID declustered parity using LDISKFS or OpenZFS and its parity declustering RAID support. Each SSU-D controller is configured one high-speed network adapter and redundant SAS adapters to connect to one or more ClusterStor ultra-dense HDD enclosures.


    ClusterStor E1000 can be scaled to many SSU-Ds and/or combined with SSU-Fs to achieve specified performance requirements.


    ClusterStor’s configurations with SSU-D are factory integrated with a purpose built rack to accommodate weight and serviceability. For more information about this rack contact your local HPE reprecentative.


    Cray ClusterStor E1000 Scalable Storage Unit – Disk (SSU-M)

    ClusterStor E1000 SSU-M provides HDD-based Lustre I/O data services and network request handling for the file system with similar OSS and OST features mentioned above for ClusterStor E1000’s SSU-D and SSU-F building blocks.


    ClusterStor E1000 has multiple SSU-M configurations with either one, two or four ClusterStor high-density HDD enclosures. Each high-density disk enclosure is configured with 84 SAS HDDs and contains two Lustre OSTs, each configured with ClusterStor’s GridRAID declustered parity using LDISKFS or OpenZFS and its parity declustering RAID support. Each SSU-M controller is configured one high-speed network adapter and redundant SAS adapters to connect to one or more ClusterStor HDD enclosures.


    ClusterStor E1000 can be scaled to many SSU-Ms and/or combined with SSU-Fs to achieve specified performance requirements.


    ClusterStor’s SSU-M configurations allow for factory integration with HPE G2 Enterprise and Advanced Series 42U shock racks and select HPE G2 Metered and Switched Power Distribution Units.

    Management Switches

    ClusterStor E1000 utilizes HPE Aruba Networking switches for a private management network between all building blocks in the filesystem. The private management network is deployed as a highly-available configuration. Depending on the configuration of the filesystem, HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360 switches, HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300M switches or a combination of HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325 and CX 6300M switches will be factory integrated with each ClusterStor E1000. Only back-to-front (also called power-to-port or reverse air flow) HPE Aruba Networking switches are supported for ClusterStor E1000’s private management network.


    Racks and PDUs

    ClusterStor E1000 storage systems are compatible with HPE G2 Advanced and Enterprise 42U and 48U Shock Racks and Cray custom racks. HPE requires racks with a minimum depth of 1200mm to best accommodate the length of ClusterStor E1000 building blocks mentioned above. For ClusterStor E1000 configurations using SSU-M and SSU-F, HPE G2 600x1200mm shock racks provide the necessary room for cabling and serviceability. For ClusterStor configurations using SSU-D, HPE G2 Enterprise 800x1200mm shock racks and Cray custom racks are required for cabling and serviceability.


    ClusterStor E1000 storage systems are compatible with select rack-mounted HPE G2 PDUs and Cray PDUs. A minimum of two PDUs are required with ClusterStor E1000 for power redundancy. The desired HPE G2 or Cray custom rack and ClusterStor E1000 configuration could limit what PDU options are available.

    Cray ClusterStor E1000 Software, Services, and Tools

    ClusterStor E1000 is configured with powerful software tools and services to create a complete, production-ready storage system that is designed to meet the unique requirements of HPC and AI applications. This software, services, and tools are:

    Lustre for ClusterStor

    ClusterStor E1000 comes pre-configured with the industry’s most powerful and scalable parallel file system to assure that your compute cluster avoids waiting for I/O and is computing with maximum efficiency. Lustre for ClusterStor is a carefully tested and curated version of the open source community Lustre based on version 2.15 release. Each Lustre feature is exhaustively tested at scale by HPE and any defects corrected before it is released for production use. Lustre for ClusterStor is offered with OpenZFS or with LDISKFS as the local object store using HPE’s fully declustered GridRAID to deliver maximum application performance and up to 4x faster recovery time from failed drives. Lustre for ClusterStor is fully supported by HPE Services and ClusterStor Engineering resources guaranteeing fast and thorough responses to any issues found by our customers.


    Tiering for ClusterStor

    Tiering in ClusterStor is a set of software features that make a hybrid storage system comprised of flash and disk easier to use and manage. It is designed to monitor and maintain file layouts and free space on E1000 flash tiers and disk tiers. Tiering has multiple capabilities that can be customized by the administrator via data management policies, including fine-grained indexing controls, file migration between OSTs or pools, restriping, purging, or generating filesystem reports. These actions are invoked automatically based on timers or system conditions (e.g. capacity threshold).


    Tiering uses a scale-out architecture to efficiently move large volumes of data. Tiering components utilize the SMU to perform all functions, and additional data mover nodes can be configured to increase data throughput.


    Scalable Search

    The Scalable Search service maintains an efficiently-searchable database of filesystem metadata, used by policies to quickly search the filesystem namespace with multiple selection criteria to find matching candidate files amongst billions of files. The databases are maintained automatically as a background process.


    Transparent Tiering

    Transparent migration optimizes file layouts automatically based on policies created and set by the administrator. The policy engine automates file migration between the flash and disk tiers based on triggers such as the available capacity in the flash tier or a fixed schedule, and can migrate files based on path, name, file size, modification time, or any other file metadata. This is particularly useful to help maintain a flash tier at a maximum percentage full by moving older files to disk, for example. All files remain completely available for read or write during this process.


    Parallel Data Movers

    Additional data mover nodes can be configured to scale out the Tiering services from the SMU, providing additional bandwidth to migrate data and index the filesystem. The additional nodes are pre-configured HPE servers that can be added and monitored by ClusterStor management nodes.


    Purging Data

    Administrators can create policies to delete files from the filesystem based on various conditions, such as age of the file, location of the file, last access of the file, size of the file, to name a few examples.


    Reporting

    Tiering services can automatically generate reports of any filesystem metadata query in JSON or CSV form, timestamped and stored in the designated directory. Reports can be used to track usage information, find users or groups consuming significant capacity, or provide information to fine-tune other policies.

    Data Encryption at Rest (DEAR) with Key Manager

    ClusterStor supports encrypting data at rest with key management using Secure Encrypted Drives (SED) for NVMe and SED or ClusterStor supports a key manager to encrypt data at rest using Secure Encrypted Drives (SED) for NVMe and SED or FIPs HDD drives. When enabled, ClusterStor enrolls all file system storage devices to participate in encrypting data. The key manager is used to authenticate all devices to allow access to encrypted data. After drive power loss, access to data is prohibited until the system retrieves unique keys from the key manager and uses them to unlock the devices.


    Managed Exporter Nodes

    ClusterStor supports the following gateway nodes to extend the access of the Lustre parallel filesystem to additional clients using NFS and or S3. ClusterStor will manage up to 4 nodes for NFS or 4 nodes for S3 to allow NFS clients to mount the same filesystem or ingest S3 objects as Posix to perform IO and in turn export the data to S3.


    ClusterStor Monitoring

    ClusterStor monitoring provides always-on metrics to give customers the insight needed to maximize resources, optimize system throughput, and provide users with the best results and experience without impacting performance. All the information users need is available in a single view. ClusterStor monitoring software tracks job performance on Lustre file systems and enables the correlation of system events that cause job performance issues using streaming telemetry with customizable visualization enabling real-time and historical analysis. ClusterStor monitoring provides administrators with visibility to understand application performance variability, isolate problems faster, enable trend analysis, and provide alerts for hands-off monitoring.


    The landing page for ClusterStor monitoring offers a quick overview of the utilization and activity on ClusterStor storage system giving administrators the ability to quickly identify potential issues and application performance problems.

    Image 6

    Sample of the ClusterStor Monitoring Landing Page

    ClusterStor monitoring provides visualization of performance data for overall storage systems and individual jobs, including throughput and metadata activity. Performance data is stored persistently and can be monitored in near real-time or historically, to enable triaging of performance problems, trend analysis, and capacity planning. It also monitors ClusterStor system logs and InfiniBand fabrics, enabling administrators to correlate system events with storage performance. ClusterStor monitoring supports customized alerts and graphs to tailor the application to each customer’s needs.


    Features

    • − Job Runtime Variability – Real-time and historical views of data to help you understand what is impacting user jobs
    • − Event Correlation – A unified view of the system, providing administrators with the ability to correlate systemic events that impact performance
    • − Trend Analysis – Data-driven analysis and visualization from historical data can help identify trends that can then be used to shape changes to the system
    • − Alerting – Threshold engine enables customized alerts based on any metric

    Jobs

    Job performance metrics are recorded and monitored in real-time to detect inefficient utilization of resources such as issuing small I/O requests or inundating the system with metadata requests that can impact the responsiveness of the entire system. Jobs can be sorted and filtered as needed to pinpoint specific jobs by attribute, or to identify jobs running within certain timeframes.

    Image 7

    Sample of the Jobs Statistics

    From the Jobs page, administrators can drill down to job details that enable the comparison of the job to what was occurring on the rest of the ClusterStor storage system providing context as to how busy the overall system was when the job ran.


    The job details also include per-device reporting for Lustre object storage targets (OST) and metadata targets (MDT) including metadata operations.

    Image 8

    Dashboards
