Agenda vStorage API for Data Protection Explained VADP – Backup Process Performance Baseline Testing Backup Application & VADP Perf Considerations VMware Intelligent Policy Virtual Machine Restore Considerations NetBackup for VMware Tips and Tricks Customer Implementation Examples Q & A

What’s a “VADP”?

vStorage API for Data Protection (VADP) A family of storage related API’s created by VMware– vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI)– vStorage API for Data Protection (VADP)– vStorage API for Site Recovery Manager (VASRM)– vStorage API for Multi-pathing (VAMP) Not a backup application – a true API– Backup vendors use this API to access advanced VMwarebackup capabilities VADP replacement (not enhancement) of VCB– VCB still supported with vSphere 4– VCB no longer supported with vSphere 5

vStorage API for Data Protection (VADP) VADP component– NetBackup 7 fully supports all VADP advanced backup capabilities– VDDK – Virtual Disk Development Kit– Automatically installed with NetBackup 7 (and later) VADP components – VMware side:– VADP supported by VMware with ESX 3.5 U2 and later VADP provides easier, simpler backup implementation– No longer need to download anything (e.g. VCB Framework)– No additional disk (holding tank) required

VADP - Provides Powerful Backup Features Changed Block Tracking (CBT)– True incremental backups– I consider this most important enhancement– Image (vmdk) level incremental backup & restore– NetBackup uniquely supports single file restores from CBT incremental Incremental (CBT) backups are key component ofefficient backups– Less back end storage required– Quicker backups– Less snapshot impact (more on this in a minute)

A Closer Look - What Happens During a Backup?A Detailed Look at the VADP Snapshot Process During VM backups, VMware creates tempsnapshot of VM. Process is as follows:– VSS provider flushes OS buffers in VM– Snapshot of VM is taken (vmdk(s) are frozen)(SCSI reservation of LUN)– Redo log created – all writes redirected to redo log– VM is backed up– Redo log data applied to original vmdk(s)– Snapshot released - backup completed Why does this matter?– Every one of these steps involves I/O– Reducing I/O impact improves backup perf & reliability– Incrementals are quick and can reduce snapshot impactVM1VM2VM3VMDK VMDKVMDK VMDKVMDK VMDKESX/ESXi

Hey! Why Are My Backups So Slow?Performance Baseline Testing

Performance Baseline Testing Goals Determine maximum performance of backup environment Tests are designed to simulate VADP backup paths (SAN, Network) Verify that hardware configured and working correctly Never assume hardware or software working optimally untilperformance verified Cisco UCS, VMware, NetBackup s/whitepapers.jsp?pcid pcat business cont&pvid 2 1

Performance Baseline Testing Methodology (SAN) Isolate performance tests to as few components as possible Design performance tests to simulate backup I/O Three basic tests run from VMware Backup Host:– Read performance from each ESX Datastore– Read performance from ESX Datastores simultaneously– Write performance of backup destination (disk in this case) I/O test utility (Fibre/iSCSI)– HD Speed (www.steelbytes.com)– Free!– Works well from NetBackup (Windows) system– Run multiple instances for aggregate performance

Performance Baseline Testing Methodology (NBD) vSphere Client can test network transfer performance “Datastore Browser” sends data over network link– Copy file to & from ESX to NetBackup for VMware Backup Host– Tests network speeds and I/O of Datastore & Backup Host disk– Find and solve network / disk performance issues before testsw/NetBackupCopy files to/fromthis DatastoreTest all Datastoresin both directions

Testing vCenter Response Time vCenter system can beextremely busy Most backup appsperiodicallycontact vCenter– This updates VM information,location– Required to support VMotion,DRS, Storage VMotion, etc.– Slow, unresponsive vCenter canimpede entire backup process– Backup app unfairly blamed Determine vCenter load– Windows task manager

Backup Application & VADPPerformance Settings & Considerations

VMware Performance Considerations Important to understand the following:– Process that occurs during VADP backups– Process that occurs during standard client backups (if used) Data path of specific backups– Network NBD (Network Block Device)– Fibre or iSCSI SAN (when configured as shared storage)– Hotadd What part do VMware snapshots play in all this?– Understanding snapshot process can help when designing backups

Reducing Backup I/O Impact – Improve B/U Reliability Shorten time backup snapshot is open– Backup during periods of low VM activity– Use incremental backups (CBT) liberally– Limit simultaneous backups per ESX / Datastore Configure backup application for optimal performance– Design backup policies to evenly balance load across ESX / Datastores– Faster backups shorter open snapshots– Tune backup application buffers for optimal performance Result:– Snapshots more reliable– Overall backup processing faster– Higher level of backup success

NetBackup VIP to the Rescue!Designed Specifically for VMware Protection

NetBackup VMware Intelligent Policy (VIP)VMware Protection on AutopilotNever miss a virtual machine backup again! An alternate method of selecting VMwarevirtual machines for backup New and moved VM’s automaticallydetected and protected Designed specifically for dynamic natureof VMware environments– VMotion, Storage VMotion, DRS, Storage DRS VIP updates VM location and informationbefore and during backup run Powerful query engine can be tailored toprotect any VMware configuration39

NetBackup VMware Intelligent Policy (VIP) Customize backups for optimal performance inyour environment Reduce backup hardware requirement– Use backup hardware more efficiently vSphere aware resource limits– Less backup impact on ESX servers and ESX Datastores Automatically balances backup processing across entirevSphere environment– Minimize backup impact on every vSphere component40

VIP – Flexible VM Selection Criteria VMs protected based on physical location– ESX server– ESX Datastore– VMware cluster VMs protected based on logical attributes– vCenter folder– Resource pool– vApp41

VIP – Flexible VM Selection Criteria VMs protected based on VM attribute– Display name, hostname, UUID– Power state– Annotation– OS version Explicitly exclude any VM or group of VMs Use combination of any criteria to further pinpoint VMprotection42

VMware Intelligent PolicyTechnical Overview

VIP Query Generator Overview VIP is selected viastandard NetBackuppolicy client tab Traditional static orautomatic (VIP) VMselection can be used VIP cache automaticupdate can bedefined to minimizeimpact on vCenterserver44

VIP vCenter Selection Criteria VMs can be selectedbased on 26 vCenterattributes including:– Annotation: backupall VMs with specifickeyword in annotationfield– Cluster: all VMs inVMware clusterselected for backup– ESXserver: any VMlocated on an ESXserver– Datastore: VM locatedon specified storage45

VIP Search Operators Powerful Boolean stylesearch operators Selection based on specificresource name or portionof name (i.e. wildcards) Multiple queries can becombined to narrow focusof VM selection46

VIP Query Results Resulting query will dynamically select VMs for backup Example: Any new or “vMotioned” VMs will be protected on everyexisting or new ESX server with word “Engineering” in name47

Test the VIP Query The “Test Query”button can help toensure the query willselect the desired VMs48

Setting Resource Limits on vCenter Objects No more backup “hotspots”! Automatically spreadbackup load acrossentire ESX farm Faster backups whilecontrolling backupload on every ESXsystem Example: No morethan 2 active backupsper Datastore with nomore than 3 activebackups per ESX49

Virtual Machine Restore Considerations

General Restore Considerations Restore process involves more I/O than backup process– Disks (vmdk’s) must be first created as target of restore– Type of vmdk can impact restore speed and I/O required Single restore typically won’t saturate restore path– DR – create simultaneous restore jobs– As with backup – balance restores across ESX or Datastore Slow vCenter can also cause restoreperf issues– Optional: bypass vCenter by restoring directlyto ESX(i) server– Known to significantly improve restore perfin some cases

VMDK Type Can Impact Restore Speeds thin– Space not allocated during creation– Space is supplied then zeroed out – on demand– Creation slow if vmdk turns out to be full0% zeroedthick– 100% of space allocated during creation– Zeroed out on demand– Can be faster than “thin” – especially if vmdk is nearly full100% eagerzeroedthick100%0%– 100% of space allocated during creation– 100% of disk zeroed out during creation– Could take long time (and create lots of I/O) to completeentire process

Simple and Powerful Virtual Machine Restores Simplified disaster recovery process– Entire VM restored with 4 mouse clicks– Wizard walks you through entire restore process– Restore, clone, replicate, rename VM to original or alternate location Optional user directed (self service) single file restores65

Additional Performance Tips and Tricks

NetBackup has Linux quiesce & verify!See Admin Guide67

Tips and Tricks For VM discovery use “Display name or “UUID”– Hostname can easily if DNS not working correctly Create separate temporary policy to test basic functionality– Once testing is completed, expire images associated with this policy For shared storage backups, try network (NBD) backupsfirst then SAN/iSCSI Get basic backup/snapshot functionality working– Turn off all advanced functionality (mapping, quiesce, etc.)– Power off VM if possible– Once basic backups are working, start turning on stuff

Troubleshooting: Suggested Logs bpvmutil:VM discovery failsvCenter credentials are incorrectvCenter discovery timeout bpbkar:standard backup processes bpfis –Logs snapshot processTroubleshoot snapshot (156) errorsRestore issues - does all interaction with vCenter during restore

Testing vCenter Response Time NetBackup periodically contacts vCenter––––This updates VM information, locationRequired to support VMotion, DRS, Storage VMotion, etc.Slow, unresponsive vCenter can impede entire backup processNetBackup unfairly blamed Test vCenter response– Time command using CLI from NBU Windows B/U host– This can point to oversubscribed vCenter server (common problem) Standard backups:bpvmutil 0 NOCACHE 0 VIP backups:nbdiscover vmware:

Enhanced VSS Support for VMware – By Symantec Optional resource createdby Symantec Engineering Improved VSSperformance Supports newer OS’es(W2K8 R2) Application aware– Truncate EXCH logs Try this if you are experiencing snapshot issues that go awaywhen “quiesce” is disabled (NBU policy options)

VM Protection Criteria Simple and scalable, minimal impact to ESX servers Disaster Recovery: Legal offsite Requirements– Backup and restore locally– Offsite replication and tape Occasional restore of entire VM– Restore entire environment if necessary Single file restore – Linux and Windows– Most common restore request

Customer Experiences: Backups Failing Too many paths showing up on backup server– Multipathing Software not installed Able to connect to virtual center but backups keep failing withsnapshot error– Not given proper credentials even though we were told they wereequivalent to administrator Could connect to virtual center but backups were failing andcustomer would not give us access to view vCenter– ESX Server was in Maintenance Mode Backup over network worked but would fail over SAN we seethe LUNS– They were the wrong LUNS and change request took 1 day, SAN team didnot verify the LUNS

Customer Experiences: Slow Performance Backup Target to disk– USB Hard Drive on Server as Disk Storage Target VMWare Datastore hosted on iSCSI– iSCSI connected to server via 10 MB Hub, 10 MB
