Consolidate Mixed Database Workloads on the Dell EMC VxBlock System 1000
Appendix B: LAN and SAN traffic design recommendations for mixed workloads
Default VxBlock LAN and SAN traffic design
-
For each server in a default VxBlock 1000 configuration, the LAN and SAN traffic is distributed as follows:
- For the two 20 Gb HA VIC ports, a total of 40 Gb bandwidth is reserved for shared-converged LAN and SAN traffic. The partitioned SAN ports are vHBA0 and vHBA1, and the partitioned LAN ports are vNIC0 and vNIC3.
- For the other two 20 Gb HA VIC ports, a total of 40 Gb bandwidth is reserved for a dedicated LAN. The partitioned LAN ports are vNIC1 and vNIC2.
In the mixed workload environments, OLAP and OLTP traffic pass through both vHBA0 and vHBA1.
The following figure shows the distribution of LAN and SAN traffic in the default VxBlock 1000 architecture:
