Powering on the storage system
NOTE:
There is no power switch on the enclosure. Power is applied to the enclosure immediately when
connected to a live power source.
Procedure
1. Connect a power cord from the power source to each drive enclosure.
IMPORTANT:
The best practice is to power on the drive enclosures before the array enclosure. This order ensures
that all disk drives have spun up and that all of the storage is discovered.
2. Connect two power supply cords from the power source to the array enclosure.
3. Wait a few minutes for all the components to complete their power-on self test routines and complete
initialization, then verify the system operating status by checking the LED displays. For more information
on interpreting the LED displays, see Status LED descriptions on page 15.
Powering off the storage system
Currently, there is not a way to power off the entire storage system (controllers and drive enclosures) from a
software interface. To power off a storage controller, use the Recovery/Power button on the rear of the
controller. (See Recovery/Power button on page 12 for more information.) To power off a disk enclosure,
remove the power cord from the wall socket.
Status LED descriptions
Various LEDs display the current operating status of the array enclosure and the drive enclosures. If a
problem is indicated, perform the following to help identify the source of the problem:
•Check all cable connections between the devices.
•Check the availability of the power source.
•For the location of the array enclosure LEDs, see Storage controller enclosure on page 8.
•For the location of the drive enclosures LEDs, see HPE StoreVirtual 3000 drive enclosure on page 12.

HPE StoreVirtual Multi-Site SAN design
The Multi-Site SAN feature enables you to mirror data synchronously between logical or physical sites
automatically. You create a Multi-Site SAN by configuring equal numbers of storage systems to create
isolated failure domains. You creat a MULti-SITE SAN by configuring equal numbers of storage controllers
into sites.
Sites for a Multi-Site SAN can be geographically disparate, such as a primary data site and a back-up site in
another building or on another campus. Sites can exist within the same building on different floors or in
different labs on the same floor. Sites can be two different racks in the same server room or even two groups
of storage systems in the same rack.
Multi-Site SAN features
Multi-Site allows storage controllers to be divided evenly between different sites.
Multi-Site is supported with StoreVirtual OS 13.5 and later.
The Multi-Site SAN feature enables:
•Multi-Site clusters that span two sites for synchronous data replication.
•Geographical awareness, by designating storage systems as members of a particular site.
•Synchronously replicated (mirrored) data between sites, based on volume data protection level.
•Site information that ensures that data is mirrored between sites for high availability and disaster recovery.
•I/O path optimization by assigning application servers to connect to storage systems located in the same
site (site preferencing), causing local reads with only replicated writes between sites.
•Failover Manager support for automatic failover/failback in a two-site configuration without requiring a
physical storage system in a third site.
•Failover Manager for quorum management if the network connection between two sites becomes
unavailable.
•Failure protection through data replication, site design, and quorum managers. A Multi-Site SAN can
protect against data center failures (power or network outages or a natural disaster) and individual storage
system failures (power or network outages, a system disaster, or a system component failure).
For operation information, see the HPE StoreVirtual Management Console User Guide.
Design considerations for a Multi-Site SAN
•Network design—Good network design is a critical part of configuring a Multi-Site SAN to ensure
reliability, high availability, and performance. Typical Multi-Site SAN configurations comprise two sites for
StoreVirtual 3200 storage and support multiple network designs.
•Data replication level—To protect the data across sites, you must choose a data protection level. The
data protection level must have a number of mirrors that is equal to the number of sites in the
configuration. For example, two site configurations require volumes to use Network RAID 10 to survive a
single site failure.
•Managers and quorum—You must also correctly configure the SAN managers for quorum to ensure that
if a failure occurs the system can be properly recovered. Maintaining quorum can be either an automated
process using a Failover manager or manually recovered by an Administrator using a Virtual Manager.
Designing the network for the Multi-Site SAN
Design best practices
30 HPE StoreVirtual Multi-Site SAN design
Page 31
•Single subnet—Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using a single subnet.
•Adequate bandwidth between sites—Plan for the appropriate amount of bandwidth for each storage
system between sites. For instance if each site contains one StoreVirtual 3200 storage system, then you
need at least 100 MB/sec throughput between sites.
•Low round-trip latency—To avoid impacting disk I/O to the application server, the round-trip latency
between the sites must be no more than 2 ms.
•Redundant links—Maintain multiple physical connections (media) between the sites for redundancy.
Configure the network so that a link failure does not prevent communication between sites.
•Assign servers to sites—Avoid high-latency connections by assigning application servers to the site
where the server is located. Application servers assigned to a site connect with iSCSI sessions only to
storage systems in the same site when the storage in that site is available.
•Use the Failover Manager—Unless you have storage systems in three physical sites, use a Failover
Manager. Put the Failover Manager on a third logical site:
◦On a network that is isolated from the other sites.
◦Use a different power connection.
NOTE:
The minimum requirement for the Failover Manager is 100 Mbps with 50 ms latency.
Calculating bandwidth
Procedure
1. Multiply by the required MB/s.

Managing the network
Introduction
The StoreVirtual 3200 has multiple configurations available, including iSCSI and Fibre Channel transport
types.
The StoreVirtual 3200 is a dual controller array. The two storage controllers communicate with each other
over a private communication path called the StoreVirtual Inter-Communication Link. There are no customerbased management interactions with this path.
You connect to the system using one of the Storage Controllers management interfaces. This management
interface is configured during the initial configuration process and provides a communication path for a client
to attach to the system for all management functionality.
The iSCSI and Fibre Channel data is served by the network interfaces depending on your configuration. You
should configure these interfaces based on your network configuration and needs. For iSCSI data, the
available network interfaces should be bonded to provide optimal performance.
Network cabling configurations
The following network cabling configurations are valid for the Configuration Setup procedure. Before
beginning the Configuration Setup procedure, ensure that you have completed the cabling for your system as
described in the following sections. Also ensure that you have the required IP addresses available. The
Configuration Setup procedure allows data and management traffic on the same subnet only.
Connecting the StoreVirtual 3200 Storage system to the network
The array enclosure can be connected to a network in different ways depending on the desired network
configuration and the controller modules.
The following sections contain network connections for supported storage controller configurations.
Network configuration for array enclosure with 1 GbE controller modules (two
port)
All iSCSI, Remote Copy, and Management traffic are routed through these two ports. The two 1 GbE ports are
bonded together for redundancy and performance during the Configuration Setup procedure.
Physical connections
•Connect 1G-1 and 1G-2 on each controller to a switch (four 1 GbE connections)
Required IP addresses
•Two for the 1 GbE network on Controller 1
•Two for the 1 GbE network on Controller 2
•One for the VIP
•All other interfaces are disabled
Figure 14: Configuration using four 1 GbE ports and one switch on page 33 illustrates the cabling
described.

Bonded interface configuration
In an HPE StoreVirtual 3200 Storage System, the 1GbE and 10GbE/10GBase-T interfaces on both iSCSI and
Fibre Channel Ethernet networks must be configured using bonded interfaces.
Connecting to three drive enclosures37
Page 38
Using bonded interfaces provides the following benefits:
•Helps prevent routing issues.
•Distributes the outbound network traffic across all of the physical interfaces.
When planning your network configuration, consider the following to ensure that bonding will be set up
correctly:
•All physical interfaces on the same controller and subnet must be bonded to create a single logical
interface.
•Only interfaces on the same controller are bonded. There is no bonding between controllers.
•Bonds can be created between two or four interfaces that have the same speed. There is a maximum of
two 10GbE/10GBase-T interfaces or four 1GbE interfaces in the same bond.
•A bonded interface requires a static IP address; you cannot use a DHCP address.
•When the bond is broken, the IP address used for the bond cannot be on the same physical interface as
the DHCP reservation.
•Symmetric ports of the same type can share a subnet mask across Controllers 1 and 2.
Information needed for Configuration Setup
Configuration Setup includes setting up bonded interfaces. Collect the following information and have it
available when you begin the process.
•Bond type
•For each controller, static IP addresses that are available on the network: two for iSCSI, one for Fibre
Channel per bond
•Subnet mask
Bond types
The following types of bonding are supported with the HPE StoreVirtual 3200 Storage System:
•ALB (default) – Can only be created between two or four interfaces that have the same speed. No
additional network switch configuration is required. There can be a maximum of two 10GbE/10GBase-T
interfaces or four 1GbE interfaces in the same bond.
•Active-Passive – Can only be created between two or four interfaces that have the same speed. The
system supports two 10GbE/10GBase-T interfaces in a bond and two 1GbE interfaces in a bond. No
additional network switch configuration is required.
•802.3ad – Can only be created between two or more interfaces that have the same speed. All of the
network switches involved with the 802.3ad bond must have the bonded ports connected to the same
backplane. More network switch configuration is required. The system supports a maximum of two 10GbE/
10GBase-T interfaces or four 1GbE interfaces in the same bond.
Bonded interfaces for supported controller configurations
The following sections illustrate bonding set up for each supported controller configuration.

Controller with a Fibre Channel card
1. Option card Fibre Channel ports
2. Built-in 1G ports
The built-in 1G ports are bonded and share a subnet mask. Fibre Channel ports do not require IP addresses,
so no bonding is necessary.
Multipathing with iSCSI configurations
The system can use either a OS-level multipathing driver or a driver provided by a vendor such as a Windows
multipath driver (DSM) or a VMware multipath driver (MEM).
The iSCSI configuration uses MLTP which provides multiple LUNs on a single target.
iSCSI multipathing with DSM or MEM
•Access the SVMC to configure StoreVirtual networking. See the StoreVirtual Management Console Online
Help for more information.
•Requires installation of a a vendor-supplied multipathing driver
•Each controller has a pair of physical network interfaces that are bonded together.
•Two IP addresses are assigned to the bond for optimal performance.
40 Multipathing with iSCSI configurations
Page 41
•A total of four or eight IP addresses can be defined depending upon the number of ports.
•A virtual IP address is configured.
•The client must be enabled with multipathing so that it knows that the same disk is accessible from
multiple paths.
•An iSCSI session from each initiator IP to the virtual IP address used by the StoreVirtual storage system
must be created.
iSCSI multipathing without DSM or MEM
•Access the SVMC to configure StoreVirtual networking. See the StoreVirtual Management Console Online
Help for more information.

Customer self repair (CSR).
Identifying swappable parts
Colored touch points on the part (such as a lever or latch) identify whether the system should be powered on
or off during a part replacement:
•Hot-swappable
parts are identified by red-colored touch points. The system can remain powered on and active during
replacement.
•Warm-swappable
parts are identified by gray-colored touch points. The system will not fail if the part is removed but data
loss may occur if the replacement procedure is not followed correctly.
•Cold-swappable
parts are identified by blue touch points. The system must be powered off or otherwise suspended before
replacing the part.

Warnings and precautions
Preventing electrostatic discharge
An electrostatic discharge can damage static-sensitive devices or micro circuitry. Proper packaging and
grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostatic damage,
observe the following precautions:
•Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
•Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
•Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap connected to the work
surface, and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment.
•Keep work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam
packing.
•Ensure that you are always properly grounded (earthed) when touching a static-sensitive component or
assembly.
•Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•Always place drives with the Printed Circuit Board assembly-side down.
•Use conductive field service tools.

Remote support
Overview
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Remote Support with STaTS monitors your StoreVirtual 3200 storage system and
allows the storage system to proactively contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise if issues arise on the system. All
major (a warning in the event log) and minor (an alert in the event log) hardware events generate an alert that
is sent to the customer-specified user and to Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support. This alert automatically
opens a support case when action from Hewlett Packard Enterprise is required. Generally, these alerts
indicate that hardware should be replaced. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support can then quickly ship
replacement parts to ensure optimal performance and availability. Remote Support submits data to Hewlett
Packard Enterprise Support using an HTTPS connection over the Internet. If needed, you can specify a web
proxy server to connect to the Internet. Alerts are transmitted over the firewall-friendly port 443.
NOTE:
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends entering the entitlement serial and product numbers even if
you do not intend to use Remote Support. The numbers are saved with the configuration and can be
restored when the configuration is restored.

Troubleshooting
Green activity LEDs do not work as expected during certain
activities
Symptom
The green activity LEDs on disk drives do not blink correctly during the following two activities:
•Initializing a new volume on a RAID array
•Rebuilding data on an activated hot spare disk drive
Cause
Due to a communication issue, the disk drive activity does not activate the green LEDs properly.
Action
Procedure
1. No action is required.
A disk enclosure from a 3PAR StoreServ installed into a
StoreVirtual 3200 Storage system results in the enclosure
status as unknown
Symptom
Installing a 3PAR StoreServ disk enclosure into a StoreVirtual 3200 Storage system results in the enclosure
status reporting unknown in the SVMC and via REST.
Cause
A 3PAR StoreServ enclosure is not compatible with the StoreVirtual array and should not be used.
Action
Procedure
1. Shut down the storage system and remove the 3PAR StoreServ disk enclosure.
An iSCSI volume that becomes unavailable for
approximately 60 seconds or less may cause data
unavailability
Symptom
If a Windows host that is configured with iSCSI on all available adapters experiences short multiple
disconnections on different adapters, it loses the paths to the disks. The lengths of these short disconnections
are less than one minute down and less than or equal to two minutes up.
88 Troubleshooting
Page 89
Cause
The Windows host does not recover from the disconnection in time and loses all paths to the volume. Extend
the time that the host continues to retry the connection by modifying the LinkDownTime registry key, so that
it has enough time to recover the paths. LinkDownTime determines how long requests will be held in the
device queue and retried if the connection to the target is lost. The default value is 15 seconds.
Action
Procedure
1. Change the Windows Registry setting for the default LinkDownTime to 120 seconds
1. Run regedit.exe.
2. Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-
3. Double-click LinkDownTime in the right-hand pane.
4. Enter a value of 120.
5. Click OK.
6. Save your changes and exit the Registry.
7. Reboot the system.
NOTE:
Back up your registry before changing it.

RAID array remains degraded after hot spares rebuild
Symptom
After a disk drive fails and the disk drive designated as the hot spare is rebuilt, RAID remains in a degraded
state.
Cause
The RAID configuration remains degraded until the failed drives are replaced and the new drives rebuild.
Action
Procedure
1. Replace the failed drives. After the new drives rebuild, the degraded state clears.
Servicing controller incorrectly presented in the SVMC
Symptom
A RAID device is owned by only one controller in the storage system. This servicing controller may be
incorrectly presented in the SVMC.
Cause
The misreporting of the servicing controller can happen if all three following conditions are met:
•RAID has been configured
•A management group has not been created yet
•One of the storage controllers fails
RAID array remains degraded after hot spares rebuild89
Page 90
Action
Procedure
1. You can ignore the information; the system will work as designed. The issue corrects itself once the failed
controller is replaced.
