ETERNUS6000 ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Settings/Maintenance- P2X0-0230-06EN

Chapter 1

Operation Screens

The ETERNUSmgr backend program, which is embedded in the ETERNUS6000, is used to display the status of, set up and maintain the ETERNUS6000. This chapter describes how this may be done.

1.1 Initial Screen

When using an ETERNUS6000, you must always keep a careful watch on its status to monitor the ETERNUS6000, use either the ETERNUSmgr frontend or other operation management software. To start the initial screen, you should take different procedure, depending on the monitoring method.

Caution:

Two methods to manage ETERNUS6000 are explained in this guide. One is via the ETERNUSmgr frontend, and the other is to use a Web browser to access the ETERNUSmgr backend program embedded in the ETERNUS6000. Hereafter, "ETERNUSmgr" is generically used for all ETERNUS6000 management, even those that use an ordinary Web browser.

P2X0-0230-06EN ETERNUS6000 ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Settings/Maintenance-

1.1 Initial Screen

1.1.1 Using the ETERNUSmgr Frontend

When using the ETERNUSmgr client, the initial screen is the ETERNUSmgr top menu. Enter the URL of the top menu file ("menu.htm"), and the top menu will appear. For details of the top menu file, please refer to the "ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Introduction-". The following shows a typical ETERNUSmgr Top Menu screen.

● Select RAID Device menu

Click the name of a target device listed in the [Select RAID Device] menu to access the device's logon screen. See "2.1

Logon" (page 13) for details on how to logon.

ETERNUS6000 ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Settings/Maintenance- P2X0-0230-06EN

Chapter 1 Operation Screens

● Show hardware error detect log list menu

Click the name of a target device listed in the [Show hardware error detect log list] menu to get a listing of the target device's error logs (alarm history files). This will require use of the Web server's list display function. Refer to the User's Guide for the Web server being used for more details.

The status of the selected target device appears to the right of its alarm history file link. The various statuses are described below.

Normal (Black).

Indicates that device is operating without any error.

*Offline* (Red).

Indicates that monitoring of the target device is not possible for one of the following reasons: the ETERNUSmgr monitoring function is not active (e.g. immediately after ETERNUSmgr installation), a problem has occurred with the target device (e.g. power supply shutdown, no response), or a problem has occurred with the communication link between the ETERNUSmgr server and the target device (e.g. broken wiring, severe delays due to network overload). The target device status will also be set to "Offline" if the Target Address (TARGET_ADDR/TARGET_PORT) specified in the setup file is incorrect. Check that the target device is operating normally, there is no problem with the network connection, and that the setup file details are correct. This status will only be detected if a DETECT_OFFLINE=TRUE line is present in the setup file. If this setting is not present, the machine will not transition from "Normal" or "ATTENTION" to "Offline".

*ATTENTION* (Bold Red).

Indicates that one or more errors have been detected in the machine. Log in to the machine and check the location of the fault.

*BUSY* (Red).

Indicates that the device cannot respond due to device suspension, a communication error on the pathway between the device and SVP, or because a boot operation is currently in progress. Make sure that the device is operating normally and there are no problems with the communication path between the device and SVP.

Caution:

The statuses displayed on the top menu reflect the information current when the top menu was last reloaded by the Web browser. The actual current status of the target device may therefore not be displayed until the top menu is reloaded. Always reload the top menu to check the current target device status. Note that some Web browsers may display a previously cached page even after the top menu is reloaded. See the manual or online help for your Web browser for details. Note that, depending on the browser being used, "Reload" may be know as "Refresh", etc.

1.1 Initial Screen

1.1.2 Using direct browser access to ETERNUSmgr Backend Program

When using operation management software other than ETERNUSmgr frontend, initial screen is title screen of the ETERNUSmgr backend program embedded in the ETERNUS6000. To check and maintain the ETERNUS6000, directly start the ETERNUSmgr backend program embedded in the ETERNUS6000 from a PC on which Web browser runs. The following are applicable Web browsers.

• Web browser

- Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 or later (for Windows)

- Netscape 6.0 or later (for Windows)

To access the ETERNUSmgr backend program, follow the procedures below.

1 Establish a LAN connection between the PC and the ETERNUS6000 USER

port, then start the Web browser (If the PC is connected directly to the ETERNUS6000 USER port, a LAN cross cable will be required).

2 Input URL in the Web browser’s address bar.

This URL will vary depending on the controller firmware version. For details of your controller firmware version, contact your maintenance engineer.

• For controller firmware versions earlier than V20L40.

Specify "http://SVP_IP_address/cgi-bin/cgi_logon.exe". (Default value: 192.168.1.2)

• For controller firmware versions V20L40 and later.

Specify "http://ETERNUS6000_IP_address/". (Default value: 192.168.1.1)

→ The title screen of the maintenance program appears.

3 Click the "ETERNUS6000" logo on the title screen.

→ ETERNUS6000 logon screen appears. See "2.1 Logon" (page 13) for details on how to logon.

RAID groups may be created without having to stop the ETERNUS6000. The initial set of RAID groups are created in the factory, however if you wish to change the RAID setup or add extra disk drives, then new RAID groups will need to be created. The created groups can be checked using the "RAID Group List" function in the [Device Status] menu.

Caution:

• Only data disk drives that are not already assigned to a RAID group can be used.

• Use disk drives that all have the same capacity when creating a RAID group. If different sized disk drives are used, then all the disk drives in the RAID group will be considered to be the same size as the smallest assigned disk drive, with any excess disk space on the larger disk drives unusable and wasted.

Note:

After creating a RAID group, use the Create Logical Volume function to assign it a volume set.

■ [Create RAID Group] Screen

Volumes may be created on a RAID group without having to stop the ETERNUS6000. Volumes may be created in one of three ways. "Register Logical volume" creates a single volume while "RAID Consolidation" and "MVV Concatenation" combine multiple volumes to make one big volume. After the volume creation process has completed, the volumes will be formatted automatically. Creating a volume on a RAID group and mapping it allows it to be accessed by the host.

The maximum number of volumes that can be created on a RAID group is determined by the volume type and disk drive type.

Different types of volumes cannot be used within the same RAID group.

5.1.5 Create Hot Spare

Hot spare disks (available to substitute for a failed disk drive) may be assigned without having to stop the ETERNUS6000. An assigned hot spare disk can be used by any RAID group. Rebuilding starts automatically when a disk drive failure occurs. When the failed disk drive is replaced with a new disk drive, data is copied back to the new disk drive. Then the hot spare disk that was substituting for the failed disk drive returns to being a spare disk again.

Caution:

• System disks cannot be assigned as hot spare disks.

• To substitute for a failed disk drive a hot spare disk must have the same or a larger capacity than the disk drive it is replacing. Any disk drive assigned as a hot spare disk should be the same size as or larger than the largest data disks.

• Each FC-Loop must contain at least one hot spare disk. This may be installed in any of the FC-Loop’s drive enclosures (DE). A hot spare disk can only be used in place of a failed disk drive if both are in the same FC-Loop.

Note:

Assign the disk drive installed in the last slot (Slot#14) of each drive enclosure (DE) as a hot spare disk. If multiple hot spare disks are assigned, it is recommended that the disks installed in the slots next to the last slot (i.e. next Slot#13, then Slot#12, etc.) be used.

5.1.8 RAID Migration

Help

Volumes may be from one RAID group to an equivalent free area on another RAID group. Moving volumes using the "RAID Migration" function allows distribution of loads and RAID level conversion. Since the "RAID Migration" function automatically creates a new volume, performs formatting, and establishes the host interface, users can access data without having to be aware of volume movement. The original volume is deleted after the migration process has completed.

● Conditions for RAID Migration

• Only open type volumes can be migrated.

• Up to 32 migrations can be performed at the same time.

• Total of 2TB of volumes can be migrated at the same time.

• The migration source and migration destination must be single volumes that are not subject to the "RAID Consolidation" function.

Caution:

• Migration cannot be performed in the following cases.

- When there are no volumes that can be migrated

- When the ETERNUS6000 model type cannot be identified

- When the maximum number of volumes already exists on the ETERNUS6000

- When 32 other migrations are already running

- When a total of 2TB of migrations are already running

- When the size of the smallest volume that is currently available for migration is larger than the remaining migration capacity (= 2TB - total size of all current migration)

• The Migration function cannot be used for volumes that are set for extent setting by the bind-in-cache function. Please contact your system administrator to delete extent information for the relevant volumes first, before executing RAID Migration. If extent information was deleted, extent setting is required for migration destination volumes after RAID Migration.

5.2.5 Allocate Host-Affinity Group

Host affinity groups related to the device's Host Affinity function may be added or deleted without stopping the ETERNUS6000. Setting a host affinity links the Host World Wide Names or Host iSCSI assigned to the ETERNUS6000 and the affinity groups. Setting host affinity enables hosts that have a Host World Wide Name or Host iSCSI that has been registered with the ETERNUS6000 to access specific linked affinity groups. Affinity groups should only be set when the hosts and the ETERNUS6000 are connected via FCCA or iSCSI.

Caution:

• Before changing or deleting a host affinity that is in use, be sure to cut-off access to its FCCA port or iSCSI port from all hosts. When adding a new host affinity, it is not necessary to cut-off access from all hosts.

• The Host Affinity function can be used when [Affinity Mode] of the target FCCA port or iSCSI port is set to [ON (Enabled)].

• "Set Host WorldWideName(s)" / "Set Host iSCSI" and "Set Affinity Group" must be performed before the host affinity can be set.

Note:

• The Host Affinity function is a security function for open type hosts, which is realized by using FCCA (CA for Fibre Channel) or iSCSI. "Set Host WorldWideName(s)" / "Set Host iSCSI", "Set Affinity Group", and "Allocate Host-Affinity Group" are required to use the Host Affinity function.

5.2.6 Set LUN Mapping

Mappings between the LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) recognized by the hosts, and the Logical Volume Numbers managed by the device may be added or deleted. These mappings enable the hosts to access the ETERNUS6000's logical volumes. LUN mapping is set only when the hosts and the ETERNUS6000 are connected via FCCA or iSCSI.

Caution:

• To change or delete a LUN mapping that is in use, make sure to cut-off access from all hosts to the FCCA ports or iSCSI ports that are to be changed or deleted. To add a new LUN mapping, it is unnecessary to cut-off access from all hosts.

• Set LUN Mapping can be used when [Affinity Mode] of the target FCCA port or iSCSI port is set to [OFF (Disabled)].

• Temporary work volumes created for migration use cannot be mapped.

Note:

There are two types of methods to enable device logical volumes to be recognized from a host when the host and the ETERNUS6000 are connected via FCCA or iSCSI. One is "Set LUN Mapping" and the other is Host Affinity function that requires "Set Host WorldWideName(s)" / "Set Host iSCSI", "Set Affinity Group" and "Allocate Host-Affinity Group". [Affinity Mode] of "Set CA parameters" set for each FCCA port or iSCSI port determines which function is enabled. When [Affinity Mode] is set to [ON (Enabled)], the Host Affinity function is enabled, and when [Affinity Mode] is set to [OFF (Disabled)], the "Set LUN Mapping" enabled.

5.2.7 Set CA Reset Group

CA reset groups may be set without having to stop the ETERNUS6000. A CA reset group setting defines a group of CAs that are to be reset at the same time. When access from the host to the device volumes via CA becomes disabled for some reason, getting the host to reset the other CAs in the reset group from the host can release a volume that had been reserved by the CA and become inaccessible. Set the CA reset group when the hosts and the ETERNUS6000 are connected via FCCA or iSCSI.

Caution:

• One FCCA port or one iSCSI port can be a member of only one CA reset group.

• Each CA reset group can only contain one type of CA.

Note:

Refer to the "ETERNUS6000 storage system Server Connection Guide" if CA reset groups are to be set up or modified for the connected hosts.

5.2.8 Set Host Response

Used to add, change and delete the host responses that are sent the ETERNUS6000 back to the host servers. A host connected to an ETERNUS6000 may expect a different host response to I/O device recognition or an error code than that actually issued by the ETERNUS6000. When such a host is connected to the ETERNUS6000, in the worst case the ETERNUS6000 may not be recognized by the host or the host may be unabled to handle properly device errors. To avoid these problems, the "Set Host Response" function can be used to customize the host response sent to each host by the ETERNUS6000. Host responses should only be changed when the host and the ETERNUS6000 are connected via FCCA or iSCSI. Which target a host response created in this way is allocated to will differ depending on the [ON/ OFF] state of the "Host Affinity" function.

Caution:

• When a host response has not been specifically created and allocated in the ETERNUS6000, the default host response pattern will be used.

• When a host response is deleted, the host responses per Host World Wide Name, FCCA port, Host iSCSI entry, or iSCSI port related to the deleted host response reverts to the default pattern.

Note:

• Host responses are allocated per Host World Wide Name or FCCA port when the host and the ETERNUS6000 are connected via FCCA. The target to which a host response is allocated differs depending on the state (On/Off) of the "Host Affinity" function.

- When the "Host Affinity" function is [ON] Host responses are set on a per Host World Wide Name basis, using the "Set Host WorldWideName(s)" function.

- When the "Host Affinity" function is [OFF] Host responses are set on a per FCCA port basis, using the "Set CA parameters" function.

• Host responses are allocated per Host iSCSI entry or iSCSI port when the host and the ETERNUS6000 are connected via iSCSI. The target to which a host response is allocated differs depending on the state (On/Off) of the "Host Affinity" function.

- When the "Host Affinity" function is [ON] Host responses are set on a per Host iSCSI entry basis, using the "Set Host iSCSI" function.

- When the "Host Affinity" function is [OFF] Host responses are set on a per iSCSI port basis, using the "Set CA parameters" function.

• Refer to the "ETERNUS6000 storage system Server Connection Guide" if host responses are to be set up or modified for the connected hosts.

6.2.5 Set EC/OPC Table Size

The size of the control tables created by the ETERNUS6000's firmware in the CM cache memory may be adjusted. These control tables (hereafter called EC/OPC tables) are the bitmaps which are used to monitor/ control the Advanced Copy sessions (EC/OPC/REC/ROPC). For ETERNUS6000, a maximum EC/OPC table size of 256MB is used, regardless of how much cache memory is available. If the table size is changed, the new setting will be in effect from the next copy session started.

Caution:

• If the EC/OPC table size is to be reduced, all copy sessions (EC/OPC/REC/ROPC) must be stopped first. Currently active EC/OPC/REC/ROPC sessions can be checked using Softek AdvancedCopy Manager or Advanced Copy Status Function.

• In order to use EC/OPC/REC/ROPC, purchase of a license and Softek AdvancedCopy Manager are both required. After you purchase the EC/OPC license, record the required information using the EC/OPC license registration function.

• The EC/OPC table size must also be set for REC/ROPC sessions. Calculate and set the appropriate REC or ROPC table size.

• The following points apply when executing a REC/ROPC session between two ETERNUS6000 devices.

- Set the same [Resolution] for both the copy source and copy destination devices. If conflicting [Resolution] is set for the copy source and copy destination devices, an error may occur during REC/ROPC operation. The "EC/OPC table Size" does not have to be the same for both devices, however. If the [Resolution] calculated for each of the copy source and copy destination devices are different, use the bigger value. Note that the "EC/OPC table Size" will also need to be reset for the device whose [Resolution] is being changed.

• The following points apply when executing a REC session between an ETERNUS6000 and a GR840/GR740.

- Set [1] as the [Resolution] for the ETERNUS6000. When Remote Advanced Copy is performed between an ETERNU6000 connected to a GR840/GR740 and another ETERNUS6000, this setting is also applied to the second ETERNUS6000. This ensures that the same [Resolution] is used by both the copy source and copy destination devices.

6.7.4 Set Box ID

Refer to the help screen for subsequent operations and related notes.

Help

The Box ID identifies the ETERNUS6000 to the other systems on the user network. Each Box ID is a proper name. The initial Box ID is generated from each ETERNUS6000’s specific details; series name, model name and serial number. The Box ID is used to identify connected devices to applications, and to specify the copy source/copy destination of remote advanced copy. When a device is upgraded or replaced, the Box ID generated from the device information will also change. Because of this, the user system settings will need to be updated, and any backup data collected before the upgrade/replacement will become impossible to use. The "Set Box ID" function allows the Box ID to be arbitrarily changed to any name that is unique within the user network. This can be used to reset the (new) Box ID of an upgraded or new device to match the (old) Box ID of the old device. This allows the old backup data to be used as-is and makes it unnecessary to upgrade the user system settings.

Caution:

• Each Box ID is a proper name. Change the Box ID so that it will be different to every other Box ID present in the user system. All Box ID’s area fixed 40-characters in length and if any Box ID that has less than 40-characters is input, is padded with "#" characters up to 40-characters in length. Any spaces in the input Box ID are also converted to "#" characters. Unless and until it is changed, the Box ID generated from the device details will be used.

• If an advanced copy (EC/OPC), a remote advanced copy (REC/ROPC), or RAID migration is in progress, the Box ID cannot be changed. Change the Box ID after the operation has completed. The status of EC/OPC and REC/ROPC operations can be checked with the "Advanced Copy Status" function. The status of migration operations can be checked with the "Progress of RAID Migration" function.

8.8 Import REMCS Environment

REMCS Environment Files created with the REMCS ESAT (REMCS Environment Setup Assist Tool) may be imported. There are two types of REMCS Environment File. One is an Environment Information File that sets up environment information and the other is a User Information File that sets up user information. Creating a REMCS Environment File to be imported with this function can simplify the work of users, doing away with the need to perform the "Registration" and "Set REMCS Environment" steps for each EERNUS6000 that has to be setup. When the user imports a REMCS Environment File with this function, it creates exactly the same effects as if the remote support information had been entered directly by the user. Open each function screen and make any changes required for that particular ETERNUS6000, then use the normal procedure to transfer them to each device.

Caution:

• REMCS Environment Files can be imported with this function only in the following cases.

- When "Set REMCS Environment" is set to [Invalid], or

- When "Set REMCS Environment" is set to [Valid] and the support status is set to "The remote support function is temporarily suspended"

In any other case, a message showing that the REMCS Environment File cannot be imported will be displayed. Click the [OK] button to return to the [Menu] screen.

• This function imports the REMCS Environment File into the device but does not enable its contents. To enable the file contents, each function needs to be set up individually.

• The only information that should be imported from a REMCS Environment File are settings that are common to all devices. Information that should be set individually for each device should not be included. Such information includes some items set by maintenance engineers in "Registration" and regular connection information in "Set REMCS Environment". To use remote support, such device specific information will need to be set after the REMCS Environment File has been imported.
