Importance of Calibration – Base vs. Solve
• Creating the baseline model (Base button) enables the dependent proposed hardware models to be calibrated
• Mandatory for System z and System i models
• Not mandatory for open systems modeling
– Highly recommended if you have measured cache hit
statistics
• Create Base ONCE, then use Solve for subsequent what-if scenarios
If you learn nothing else in this class learn this:
Create Base ONCE, then use Solve for subsequent scenarios

Skew
A value that expresses the amount of IO that occurs on a subset of data.
– Used by Disk Magic to model and predict performance of a given configuration
– Can be estimated or in some cases calculated by Disk Magic - from data sourced by DSCLI commands and TPC reports from some DS8000 systems.
Below are the predefined skew levels in Disk Magic
– Very Low Skew (2)
• Extremely conservative level
• High percent of IO across high percent of data / capacity
– Low Skew (3.5)
– Intermediate Skew (7)
– High Skew (14)
• Due to some positive field experience this value was “promoted” to the default and often
recommended value
• High percent of IO across relatively small portion of data capacity
– Very High Skew (24)
• Aggressive approach, you should have a reason to anticipate this value, or model it among
several possibilities.

Skew - Graph
In this chart the intermediate skew curve (the middle one) indicates that for a fast tier capacity of 20% Easy Tier®
would move 79% of the Workload (I/Os) to the fast tier.
![Page 44: Disk Magic for Storwize](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022082207/5695d43a1a28ab9b02a0c090/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Easy Tier® – Disk Magic Capabilities
� Supports input of the anticipated skew level
– Disk Magic predefined skew value to explore possible impacts … Or
– Calibrated / measured value from data collected in some environments
• Example 1: TPC reports plus DSCLI command output from existing DS8000 systems
• Example 2: Calculated from some Zseries data collections
� The skew tells Disk Magic how much IO to assign to each tier.
![Page 45: Disk Magic for Storwize](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022082207/5695d43a1a28ab9b02a0c090/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45© Copyright IBM Corporation 201445
Easy Tier® – Disk Magic Capabilities (continued)
� Automatically explore impact of skew variation by modeling & charting
multiple skew rates in one command.

Easy Tier® – Disk Magic Capabilities (continued)
� Report function quantifies the configured tiers and the resultant amount of
IO assigned to each tier – for the chosen/solved skew.
� Note: All standard charting functions – utilization of other disks, response
time, etc., reflect any improvement achieved based on the configuration -
i.e. the disks you populated in the tiers, the chosen skew rate, etc.
This example used a “high” skew (14)
• 7% of the capacity is SSD
• 72% of the IO routed to SSD
