Installation

You and your HP service representative each play a role in installation. Your HP service representative is responsible for installing the disk array and formatting the disk devices. You are responsible for configuring the host server for the new devices with assistance from your HP service representative.

Installation 13

Features and requirements

Ask your HP service represent ative about the lat est supporte d hardware and software.

The disk array has the following features:

• Storage capacity. The storage capa ci ty for each model is liste d b elow:

XP128: From 8 to 128 drives for up to 18 TB, 48 FC ports XP1024: From 8 to 1024 drives for up to 149 TB, 64 FC ports XP10000: Up to 240 drives for up to 69.2 TB, 48 FC ports XP12000: Up to 1152 drives for up to 165 TB, 128 FC ports

• Server support. Windows 2000/2003 PC server with the latest HP

supported patches

• Operating system support. Windows 2000/2003

Before installing the disk array, ensure the environment conforms to these requirements:

• Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) Install HBAs and all utilities and drivers.

Refer to the a dapter documentation for installation details.

• (Recommended) HP StorageWorks Remote Web Console XP, Command View XP Advanced Edition or Command View XP with LUN management feature for configuring disk array ports and paths

• (Recommended) HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP

14 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: Windows 2000/2003

• (Optional) Other available XP software (some may not apply to your

Fibre Channel interface

The XP fami ly of disk arrays supports these Fibre Channel elements:

• Connection speed of 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps

• Short-wave non-OFC (open fiber control) optical interface

• Multimode optical cables with SC or LC connectors

HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP HP StorageWorks Continuous Access Extension XP HP StorageWorks Auto LUN XP HP StorageWorks Data Exchange XP HP StorageWorks Resource Manager XP HP StorageWorks RAID Manager XP HP StorageWorks Cache LUN XP HP StorageWorks Auto Path XP HP StorageWorks Cluster Extension XP HP StorageWorks Performance Advisor XP software

• Public or private arbitrated loop (FC-AL) or direct fabric attach

Even though the interface is Fibre Chann el, this gui de uses the term “SCSI disk” because disk array devices are defined to the host as SCSI disks.

Installation 15

Device emulation types

The XP family of disk arrays supports these device emulation types:

• OPEN-K/3/8/9/E devices: OPEN-x logical units represent disk

• LUSE devices (OPEN-x*n): Logical Unit Size Expansion (LUSE)

• CVS devices (OPEN-x CVS): Volume Size Configuration (VSC)

• LUSE (expanded) CVS devices (OPEN-x*n CVS): LUSE CVS

devices. Except for OPEN-V, these devices are based on fixed sizes. OPEN-V is a user-defined size. Supported emulations include OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, OPEN-E, OPEN-L, and OPEN-V devices.

devices combine 2 to 36 OPEN-x devices to create expanded LDEVs larger than sta ndard OPEN-K/3/8/9/E disk devices. For examp le, an OPEN-x LUSE volume created from ten OPEN-x volumes is designated as OPEN-x*10.

defines custom volumes (CVS) that are smaller than normal fixed-sized logical disk devices (volumes). (OPEN-V is a CVS-based custom disk size that you determine. OPEN-L does not support CVS.)

combines CVS devices to create an expanded device. This is done by first creating CVS custom-sized devices and then using LUSE to combine from 2 to 36 CVS devices. For example, if three OPEN-9 CVS volumes are combined to create an expanded device, this device is designated as OPEN-9*3-CVS.

Failover

The XP family of disk arrays supports many standard software products that provide host, application, or I/O path failover and management.
