Scalable Storage for Lustre is a software-defined storage platform that runs on the HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers. Lustre is an object based, open source, distributed, parallel, clustered file system. It is designed for maximum performance at massive scale that is resource efficient and cost effective, especially with large block sequential IO. Available in various configurations and delivered like an "appliance."
Community Lustre paired with HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers delivers a high availability solution that has built in failover capabilities. The Reference Architecture that has been created, recommends a fully configured cluster that will deliver optimized performance. The configuration includes a pair of DL380 servers as the Object Storage Targets (OST) and D6020 storage JBODs with 70 SAS hard drives. The two DL380 nodes require a Lustre subscription support license each. In addition, the solution contains two HPE ProLiant DL360's that server with an MSA 2050 (or a D3710) that serves as the management (MGS) and metadata servers (MDS). The active MDS DL360 requires a Lustre subscription support license. An additional HPE ProLiant DL360 acts to support the HPE developed IML (integrated manager for Lustre) plug-in software. |

Software Overview |
|
What is Lustre? Lustre is an object based file system that splits metadata from the data and stores the metadata on the Metadata Servers (MDS) and the actual data in multiple objects on the Object Storage Servers (OSS). When a client opens a file, Lustre gets the access permissions & other pertinent metadata from the MDS, and after that all the I/O happens between the client and the OSTs. This is unlike other file systems which require going thru a single head node. Lustre allows multiple clients to access multiple OSS nodes at the same time independent of one another, thereby allowing the aggregate system to scale throughput by adding additional nodes in parallel. |

Benefits of the Solution |
|
Fully Redundant Hardware The hardware that comes with this solution is based on the Gen 10 evolution of the HPE DL360 and DL380 server platforms - which are the most broadly deployed server platforms in the world. The architecture does not have a single point of failure because it blends pairs of nodes - called Scalable Storage Units or SSUs - that share access to highly available JBOD drive enclosures based on a dual-controller architecture. During normal operations, each node has access to half of the drives connected to the pair of SSU servers, but in case one of the nodes fails, the remaining active node will instantly take over drives of the failed node. The architecture allows for an SSU architecture that can leverage multiple JBODs to meet scalability and performance objectives. |
|
|
|
Flexibility & Customizability This solution comes ready to be deployed and configured based on the exact needs of the workloads of customers. Systems can be pre-staged in the HPE factory to streamline on-site deployments, and customers purchase deployment services to enable the configuration of the validated solution on-site. During the deployment process, customers can work with HPE to tune the solution to precisely meet performance and use case requirements. |
|
|
|
Scalability The architecture supports the ability to start small and grow to larger solution as requirements evolve. Customers can scale the size and the throughput of this solution by adding more Scalable Storage Units (SSUs) that include pairs of servers combined with high-capacity JBOD storage enclosures. They can start off with a single DL380-based SSU - and then can add more of these basic building blocks - thereby increasing the available capacity as well as throughput. Lustre was developed to handle the demands of scientific data and has been tested and trusted at extreme levels of throughput and with many thousands of client connections. |
|
|
|
Faster Rebuild Times This solution provides multiple levels of data protection using ZFS-based software RAID. In addition to its many impressive data protection features, ZFS uses an advanced pool-based storage approach that enables much faster RAID rebuild times than traditional RAID in the event of a drive failure by spreading the rebuild process among many devices. Only the data is rebuilt not the entire hard drive which could be under-utilized. |
|
|
|
Compression The ZFS-based software RAID leveraged within the HPE solution allows for data compression that not only save storage space - but which can also improve the overall I/O of the solution by reducing the size of data moving between the SSU compute nodes and the drives on which the data is being stored. |
|
|
|
Data Scrubbing While Online The ZFS-based storage delivered with the HPE Lustre solution performs automated online data validation activities - checking on the health of all user data to verify its integrity, detect any silent media corruption and proactively correct any errors detected. All of this happens automatically - without any administrative intervention. |
|
|
|
Performance The HPE Lustre solution is designed to enable fully parallel I/O throughput across many clients, servers and storage devices. Many Lustre configurations are running in production with hundreds of GB/sec of throughput with advanced installations achieving throughput of over 1 terabytes per second. This means extremely high volumes of data can be delivered to critical high performance applications. HPE has fully benchmarked the HPE Lustre solution architecture and can quickly provide system configuration specifications to meet customer requirements for performance and capacity based on the latest processor, interconnect, storage device and Lustre software technology. |
|
|
|
Affordability The HPE Lustre solution is comprised of standard HPE x86 server architecture, high-performance storage enclosures and Community Lustre/ZFS software which includes the open source Lustre and ZFS distributions combined with full commercial support on the overall solution from HPE . The included Integrated Manager for Lustre (IML) software provides browser-based tools for fast efficient management - in addition to a powerful set of standard Lustre command line interfaces (CLI). |
|
|
|
Integration with HPE Data Management Framework The solution is fully validated and compatible with the HPE Data Management Framework (DMF) which provides advanced capabilities for data tiering, data protection, backup and disaster recovery. See separate product information on HPE DMF for details on the capabilities, architecture and value points that HPE DMF can deliver when deployed in conjunction with an HPE Lustre solution for high-performance data storage. |

Configuration Information
|
Notes: Sizing for storage servers should be tailored to the specific workload requirement. Data protection strategy and average file size should be taken into account for optimal configuration. As such it is recommended that you engage with your Hewlett Packard Enterprise representative to document your individual solution needs and design an environment with required services to deploy. |
|
Warranty of DL360 and DL380 This product is covered by a global limited warranty and supported by HPE Services and a worldwide network of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Authorized Channel Partners resellers.
