Flash Read Cache

Hi, we move to ESXi v5.5 and currently have for most blades IBM HS22/23 servers.

I would like to understand what is Flash reading comes back and use. During the review of the current literature, I do not understand what it is and what materials it applies. Can someone just explain frowhat type of material, she applies and benefits (without URL to docs)

Thank you

The long and short of it is Vmware puts another piece on the hypervisor requesting your VM I/O buffers SSDS Rapids or flash cards for faster reads/writes of your San.  An easy way to think of this is that if you have already configured a disk to disk-to-tape configuration.  Dump you everything on the drive first for speed (several jobs at the same time, writing more Rapids, ect, ect), then send it to tape.  Its kind of the same idea with Flash Read Cache.  e/s of the VMDK is buffered or sent to the flash cache and sent to the San to increase performance.

Page 6 of this pdf wmare has a good diagram of it:

Hope this helps

  • vSphere 5.5 Flash Read Cache

    Hello

    I've updated my vCenter to 5.5 and of course one of the interesting improvements is read Cache Flash. I installed the SSDS and could see in vSphere client Web and must now assign space to read flash for virtual machines.

    How would you do the assignment of value to flash for virtual machines read cache. I know that it discharge of the I/O to the San, but don't know how to calculate the number in the UK for actually entry.

    Does rely on the size of vmdk machine what kind of storage access.

    How do you calculate how much read cache to give a particular virtual machine or if it's trial and error

    Thank you very much

    This will give you a better understanding and best practices to the size of the cache in your environment.

  • A few questions about VMware Flash Read Cache (vFRC)

    Hello

    1) there is a way to simulate a VMFS datastore as SSD device. See the instructions in the following link:

    http://tomverhaeg.nl/VMware-ESXi/VMware-ESXi-tag-a-device-as-local-and-SSD/

    1 a) can we fake a NFS datastore as a SSD device?

    1 (b) partitions on the SSD device must be empty in order for the vFRC to work.

    There are two scenarios here: empty the lun (with no VMFS file system) and VMFS LUNS (with no data). Both scenarios would work for vFRC?

    (2) a device SSD shareable by multiple ESXi hosts?

    (3) several flash pools can be created for each host ESXi? If so, what is the maximum number of pools of flash can be created by ESXi host?

    (4) a device SSD can be used as a local drive?

    1 a) can we fake a NFS datastore as a SSD device?

    >> N°

    1 (b) partitions on the SSD device must be empty in order for the vFRC to work.

    There are two scenarios here: empty the lun (with no VMFS file system) and VMFS LUNS (with no data). Both scenarios would work for vFRC?

    > empty lun with no partitions is necessary... Partitioned VMFS LUNs cannot be used because VFRC works with VFFS file system

    (2) a device SSD shareable by multiple ESXi hosts?

    > not in a context vFRC, normal on SSD lun VMFS datastore can be shared and used for features such as "swap for ssd.

    (3) several flash pools can be created for each host ESXi? If so, what is the maximum number of pools of flash can be created by ESXi host?

    > No, there may be only one pool that will be shared for all VMDK to a permit for the use of vFRC. but also exchange for SSD if configured.

    (4) a device SSD can be used as a local drive?

    > claiming remote as local is possible. but not recommended and performance improvement is not guaranteed in this case with vFRC...

  • VSAN Flash read the maximum size of the cache for per VM

    is it possible to configure which only so much data size of a particular VM in VSAN environment should be used for read cache maximum maximum flash?

    No, the booking to read flash cache is based on a percent of the size of the VMDK.

    that is a 100 GB VMDK and a % 10% read cache, I will reserve 10 GB of SSD for this virtual machine for purposes of reading flash cache.

    This is the only control on flash, you've read cache.

  • read flash vSphere cache: cannot add capacity

    Hello

    I'm trying to implement flash vSphere read cache to test performance, but when I try to 'Add ability', disc SSD of my host are not listed.

    I tried several parameters like disassemble, reassemble, etc... and they appear in the configuration of the storage of the host...

    Any idea?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thx for your answer.

    Problem is now solved. It wasn't the case of not marked as SSD, but readers was not recognized as local drives.

    Changed that with esxcli command, and then restart the hosts and the SSD will now appear in the "ability to add.

  • 24GB flash acceleration Cache HDD & 1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive hybrid

    I am considering buying the ENVY 17 t-j100 TouchSmart Quad Edition.  Two custimization options are:

    24GB flash acceleration Cache hard drive

    1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive hybrid

    As I understand it, these two use SSD to accelerate the performance of the hard disk.  I have a few questions:

    Is there a difference between the two?

    How many GB of SSD are on the drive hybrid?

    You can get both, or would they overlap?

    Thank you.

    Yes, there is a difference. The hybrid hard drive is home to the NAND Flash inside the car. Acceleration is made by the player himself. Hybrid hard drives are faster than a disk mechanical spinner, but the MSSD cache acceleration is faster. Faster is a full SSD. Cache Accelerator speed up startup and loading frequently used programs but doesn't do much for read/write sustained speeds. However, it makes the whole computing experience better. start time of 15 seconds and resume almost instantly from sleep, for example. The hybrid propulsion system is just a regular hard disk gradually faster. I would get the WSSD of 24 concert and you need not the hybrid car with her and I think that they only Pack the WSSD of 24 concert with a player standard spinner.

  • Add after the purchase - 24GB flash acceleration Cache disk hard + bluetooth

    I can't wait but a smart buy HP ENvy 17 t-j100 however it does NOT hace two options, that I really want.

    • 24GB flash acceleration Cache hard drive
    • 802.11 WLAN AC and Bluetooth® [1 x 1]

    I have a heavy discount coupon for the smart buy so I can't set up the way I want to without losing huge savings.

    I can add more later as part/level?

    Yes. The WSSD cache drive should start fast Intel and as long as you can get the real part of HP you can install map of BT and wireless.

  • Flash reading html

    Hello I do some flash toys in which info for each toy different flash is stored in a database (for example for a quiz, questions are stored in the comic book) and I was wondering if there is a way to leave flash 'read' some of the html it is entrenched in (for example a code) that can be used to access this set of codes of the info (like for a quiz questions)
    Please help me, and have an external text doc is not an option (unless the flash can be compiled on the thumb to really change the trajectory of the txt.)

    Yes, the html file that support flash can pass a variable/value to Flash by adding the variable/value to the swf reference. for example

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a State strong adapter w / HDD Compact Flash reader

    In addition, THIS would be as fast as a normal hard drive?

    As far as I know, Windows 7 supports not natively installed on a CF Reader because it might be the removable storage. A Compact flash drive has advantages and disadvantages. For example, it could increase the life of the battery and offers a much faster access time. However, it has much less read and write speeds higher than compared to a traditional 5200 rpm or 7200 RPM HARD drive. If you want to increase the performance of your PC, I recommend investing in an SSD.
