An Overview of the RAID High Availability Cluster Solution for HP-UX
The RA7000 / ESA10000 Cluster solution for HP-UX enables two (or more)
Hewlett Packard host servers to share a RAID storage subsystem through a SCSI
bus, with MC/ServiceGuard cluster software. Should a failure on a host server
occur, the failure is detected and the I/O is re-routed through to a functioning
host server. This process, called failover, requires no resource downtime ensuring the high availability of data. The failed component(s) can be warmswapped or serviced while functioning components remain active.

Figure 1 shows a basic cluster layout, where two host servers share a RAID
subsystem via a single SCSI bus. It is possible to expand a cluster to include
additional host servers on a single SCSI bus, or a second RAID subsystem on a
separate SCSI bus. Illustrations of expanded clusters are provided in Appendix
A of this guide.
EK–HAHPU–MH. B01 vii
RA7000 / ESA10000 High Availability Solution Kit for HP-UX
Defining a “Clustered Host Server”
For the host servers to be considered part of “the cluster” (e.g., share the RAID
subsystem(s) and possess I/O failover capabilities), each server must be
configured with MC/ServiceGuard cluster software, (including a “package” to
failover the RAID CC agent), and the SCSI pass through device drivers that
enable the SWCC agent to communicate with the RAID subsystem(s).
This guide provides a master procedural roadmap to establish a “basic” cluster of
shared RAID storage, focusing on cluster hardware and software configuration
tasks. It begins with a new, boxed RAID subsystem and two HP host servers.
Procedures for expanding a cluster are also discussed.
Audience
This guide is intended for experienced administrators and system integrators of
HP host server and StorageWorks RA7000 / ESA10000 storage subsystem
equipment. Setting up a cluster requires a general understanding of HP server
networks, RAID storage concepts, HP MC/ServiceGuard cluster software and
SCSI hardware configurations. Or, contact your service representative for
installation assistance.
Document Structure
This guide contains the following chapters:
Getting Started
This section provides a roadmap to serve as the master procedural guide for
establishing a cluster.
Chapter 1: Pre-Installation Steps
This chapter addresses the preparation needed before installing the hardware
components of the RAID subsystem cluster. It provides a guide to your options in
planning the cluster layout (e.g., the shared RAID subsystem, host servers and, if
applicable, the SCSI hub), through the SCSI bus. This chapter also describes how
to prepare the two SCSI host adapter boards for a cluster environment.

About This Guide
Chapter 2: Cabling the RAID Subsystem Cluster Components
This chapter describes the procedures for cabling a RAID subsystem to two HP
host servers based on the cluster (SCSI) layout option selected in
this guide. (Reference Appendix A if clustering more than two hosts or more
than one RAID subsystem). It provides detailed illustrations of the cabling and
termination required to support HD68-pin SCSI host adapter compatibility, and
the use of a SCSI hub.
Chapter 1
of
Chapter 3: Software Setup Requirements for a Cluster
This chapter summarizes and describes, in sequence, each of the software setups
required to establish a cluster environment between multiple HP-UX host servers
and a shared RAID storage subsystem. It explains how to access, invoke and
interact with the SWCC Failover Transition Module Installation Script, which
automatically configures the cluster for the seamless failover of the
StorageWorks Command Console RAID Manager agent in the event of a server
shutdown.
Appendix A: Cabling and Termination Required to Expand a Cluster
An expanded cluster is one in which more than two host servers are connected to
a RAID subsystem on the same SCSI bus, or where a second RAID subsystem is
added to the cluster on a separate SCSI bus. Appendix A provides the hardware
cabling and termination, and highlights the software configurations required to
expand a cluster.
Appendix B: De-Installing the SWCC Failover Transition Module
This appendix describes how to reverse the installation of the StorageWorks
Command Console Failover Transition Module (agent) within a cluster.

1.3 Perform a System Backup
Follow normal procedures to backup the RAID subsystem and the host servers in
your cluster, as applicable, prior to installing any of the cluster components.
1.4 Plan the Basic Cluster Layout (SCSI Bus Interconnect)
To plan the layout of cluster components through the SCSI bus, first define the
two ends of the SCSI bus by selecting
subsystem on the bus relative to the other components (the two HP hosts and, if
applicable, the SCSI Hub). Determining the RAID location depends on your
preference or any physical limitations of your facility (see

Use Table 1-3 to select the basic cluster layout that best suits your environment.
Prepare and install the SCSI host adapters into your servers (as described in
Section 1.5, “Prepare the SCSI Host Adapters”). Then, reference Chapter 2, –
Cabling the RAID Subsystem Cluster Components,
to proceed with the basic
cluster installation.
1.5 Prepare the SCSI Host Adapters
Each of the host servers in the RAID subsystem cluster requires at least one
supported SCSI host adapter be installed. (Expanding a cluster with a second
RAID subsystem requires two SCSI host adapters per server). Prior to installing
the SCSI host adapter(s) into each server, as described in your HP Host Adapter
installation and service guide, you must prepare each one for a cluster
environment. This involves two main steps:
Setting a unique SCSI host adapter ID
•
(For Mid-Bus RAID and End-Bus RAID cluster layouts only) Removing the
•
resistor packs (terminators) on-board the SCSI host adapter
The procedures for setting unique SCSI host adapter IDs and removing resistor
packs from the SCSI host adapters are contained in the following sections. As
you perform these steps, reference the figure that corresponds to your SCSI host
adapter model, as follows:
SCSI Host
Adapter
A28696A Figure 1-1
A2969A Figure 1-2
A4107A Figure 1-3
Illustrated
In
1.5.1 Set Unique SCSI Host Adapter IDs
It is mandatory that each server in a cluster have a unique SCSI host adapter ID
(target ID). The default setting of a SCSI host adapter ID is 7. One of the hosts in
the cluster can maintain this ID. Typically, the SCSI IDs for each added server
should decrease one number from 7, (6, 5, 4, etc.), to ensure that an unused
device number is selected for the server ID.
Use the dip switch on-board the SCSI host adapter(s) to manually set the SCSI
host adapter ID on each host server in the cluster to an unused number. (Two
host adapters in the same server can have the same SCSI ID, as long as the
adapters are not on the same SCSI bus). Reference the Figure for your SCSI host
adapter model to locate the SCSI ID dip switch pack.

Chapter 1. Pre-Installation Steps
1.5.2 SCSI Host Adapter Resistor Pack Removal
To remove the resistor packs (terminators) on-board the SCSI host adapters in a
Mid-Bus RAID or End-Bus RAID cluster layout, reference the figure for your
host adapter board model and proceed as follows:
NOTE
Do not remove SCSI host adapter resistor packs
in hub-radiant RAID cluster layouts.
1. Follow normal procedures to shutdown all host servers in the cluster.
2. If applicable, consult the system manual to remove the cover of the server
cases and remove the SCSI host adapter board(s) from all host servers in the
cluster.
3. Locate the resistor packs on the SCSI host adapter board(s)
4. Gently remove the resistors from the SCSI host adapter boards
5. Install the SCSI host adapter board(s) into the servers according to the SCSI
host adapter installation manual supplied with your SCSI host adapter
model.
NOTE
Do not reboot the host servers at this time.
The SCSI host adapters are now prepared for a cluster environment. Proceed to

2.2 Mid-Bus RAID Cluster Layout - (SCSI Bus Interconnect)
To connect two HP hosts on the two ends of the SCSI bus (e.g., a Mid-Bus RAID
cluster layout), with a RAID subsystem, reference Figure 2-1 and follow these
steps:
1. Attach a Y-cable (BN21W-0B) to the HD68-pin host adapter on Host A.
2. Attach a Y-cable (BN21W-0B) to the HD68-pin host adapter on Host B.
3. Attach (compatible) end of a 5M adapter cable (BN38C-05) to one end of

Software Setup Requirements for a Cluster
This chapter summarizes and describes in sequence each of the software setups
required to est ablish a high availability c luster environment between m ultiple HP- UX host
servers and a shared RAID storage subsystem.
3.1 Software Requirements Summary
The software setups required to establish a cluster between your RAID subsystem
and HP host servers must be performed in the sequence provided in this chapter,
which is as follows:
Install the StorageWorks Command Console (SWCC) RAID Manager
•
software
Create the RAID storageset configuration
•
Install and configure MC/ServiceGuard cluster software on all clustered host
•
servers
Install/configure the (HP) SCSI pass through device driver software on all
•
remaining host servers comprising the RAID subsystem cluster.
Run the SWCC Failover Transition Module Installation Script
•
3.2 Installing the StorageWorks CC RAID Manager Software
The StorageWorks Command Console agent software, which enables
management of the RAID subsystem, must be installed and configured on any
host server in the cluster from which you choose to perform the initial cluster
configuration work. This server is designated as the “primary” host, and all other
servers in the cluster, “secondary”. This designation must remain constant
throughout the procedures described in this chapter.
Reference the
Chapters 3 and 4, for procedures to install the StorageWorks CC RAID Manager
Software on your primary host server. (Chapter 3 is required to prepare your
primary host server with the SPT device driver that facilitates communication
with the RAID subsystem, and for configuring the HP-UX file system).

3.4 Installing and Configuring HP MC/ServiceGuard Cluster Software
HP MC/ServiceGuard cluster software must be installed and configured on all
host servers that share the RAID subsystem.
CAUTION
If a server is connected to a cluster, but is not
configured with MC/ServiceGuard software,
undesirable conditions could result.
Reference the (HP)
Managing MC/ServiceGuard
manual to install and configure
MC/ServiceGuard cluster software on all (primary and secondary) HP host
servers that comprise your cluster.
NOTES

3.5 Running the SWCC Failover Transition Module Installation Script
The SWCC Failover Transition Module Installation Script automates the final
software configuration tasks required to establish failover of the StorageWorks
Command Console agent, which are:
Install the (HP) SCSI pass through device drivers on all the remaining
•
clustered servers. (These drivers should already reside on your
primary
via the SWCC agent installation process performed in Section 3.2).
WARNING
Instal ling the SCSI pass through driver s requires a
reboot of all servers on which it will be installed.
Install the SWCC Failover Transition Module (agent) in an MC/ServiceGuard
•
“package” on all clustered servers.
In order for the SWCC RAID Manager agent to failover in the case of a server
shutdown, it must be installed in a “package” in the MC/ServiceGuard software
that resides on each host server. A copy of the package resides on all hosts.
Under normal operating conditions, the RAID Manager will run on the primary
host only. When the primary host is unavailable as in a failover,
MC/ServiceGuard will start up the RAID Manager on a secondary, assigned
takeover host.
To obtain and invoke the SWCC Failover Transition Module Installation Script
required for your MC/ServiceGuard cluster configuration, proceed as follows:
host,
1. Download a copy of the tar file (ha_stm_hp01.tar) into your
/tmp
directory,
from the following StorageWorks website address:
http://www.storage.digital.com/menusupport.htm
2. Set your current directory to
/tmp
3. Extract the script software from the downloaded files by issuing this
command:
#
tar xvf /tmp/ha_stm_hp01.tar
EK–HAHPU–MH. B01 3–3
RA7000 / ESA10000 High Availability Solution Kit for HP-UX
NOTES
You MUST be root to proceed wi th the ins tall ation
process.
The capital lett er at t he end of eac h s cri pt prompt
represents the default response.
4. Run the shell script by issuing this command:
#
/tmp/ha_install_hp.sh
The SWCC Failover Transition Module Installation Script will prompt you to
make several selections regarding your specific cluster configuration options. For
the seamless failover of the SWCC transition module agent, be prepared to
provide the script with the following information as prompted:
name of root directory to place the SWCC software
•
subnet address of the cluster
•
dedicated IP address for the SWCC failover agent
•
(this is the IP address used by the SWCC client in order for you to configure
and monitor the RAID subsystem within the cluster)
The installation of the SWCC Failover Transition Module in your cluster is now
complete. Reference your (HP)
Managing MC/ServiceGuard
manual for
procedures to test server failover, and to monitor and manage your cluster.

Cabling and Termination Required to Expand a
Cluster
This appendix summarizes how to expand a basic (two-server, single RAID subsystem)
cluster to support additional servers and/or a second RAID subsystem. This appendix
assumes that the pre-installation, hardware and software configuration procedur es for a
basic cluster have been performed as described in this guide, and focuses only on the
procedures required for cluster expansion.
A.1 Hardware Configuration of an Expanded Cluster
A basic cluster, (2 server, single RAID subsystem) configured in an End-Bus
RAID or Mid-Bus RAID cluster layout, can be expanded in two ways:
1. By adding host servers to a single SCSI bus
2. By adding a second RAID subsystem via a separate SCSI bus
Figure A-1 shows an expanded cluster, where one or more servers have been
added the cluster by extending the SCSI bus of the basic cluster, and a second
RAID subsystem has been added on a separate SCSI bus. Both RAID subsystems
can be accessed by all clustered servers.
The two heartbeats shown in Figure A-1 represent the failover capabilities
configurable between clustered servers using MC/ServiceGuard software. In
other words, all servers with MC/ServiceGuard software can be configured to
failover any other server in the cluster that has MC/ServiceGuard software.
The cabling and termination required to expand a cluster are discussed and
illustrated in the following sections.

A.1.2 Adding a Second RAID Subsystem to an Existing Cluster
A second RAID subsystem can be added to an existing cluster by building a
second, separate SCSI bus between the existing clustered servers and the new
RAID subsystem. This requires a second SCSI host adapter be prepared and
installed (reference Chapter 1,
Pre-Installation Steps

devices prior to connecting the second
subsystem.
Reference Chapter 2,
“Cabling the RAID Subsystem Components”
Getting St arted
for the parts
and procedures required to cable and terminate a SCSI bus, integrating the
following differences that apply to the second subsystem:
1. Physically cable the second RAID subsystem to the same two host servers as
the first (existing) RAID subsystem.
2. Connect the Y-cables to the second host adapter in each server.
3. Be sure to terminate both ends of the second SCSI bus.
