Preface

1 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 n ew devices with assistance from your HP service representative.

Features and requirements

Ask your HP ser vice representative about the latest supported hardware and software.

The disk array

• Storage capacity. The storage capacity for each model is listed below:

XP10000: Up to 240 drives for up to 69.2 TB, 48 FC ports XP12000: Up to 1152 drives for up to 332 TB, 128 FC ports SVS200 Up to 1

• Server support. Windows 2000/2003 PC server with the latest H P supported patches

• Operating system support. Windows 2000/2003

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

• Host Bus Ada

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 Con ﬁ g uration and Security Manager XP

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

HP Storage HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP HP StorageWorks Continuous Access Extension XP HP Storage HP StorageWorks Auto LUN XP HP StorageWorks Data Exchange XP HP StorageW HP StorageWorks Cache LUN XP HP StorageWorks Auto Path XP HP StorageW HP StorageW HP StorageWorks External Storage XP HP StorageWorks XP Disk/Cache Partition Software HP StorageWorks Flex Copy XP HP StorageWorks XP Data Shredder Software HP StorageWorks Performance Control XP

has the following features:

27 TB of external storage, 48 FC ports

Fibre Channel interface

The XP family of disk arrays and the SVS200 support these Fibre Channel elements:

• Connection s

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

• Multimode optical cables with SC or LC connectors

• Public or pr

Even tho ug h the interface is Fibre Channel, this guide uses the term “SCSI disk” because disk array devices are deﬁned to the host as SCSI d isks.

peeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, and 4 Gbps (XP12000/XP10000 only)

ivate arbitrated loop (FC-AL) or direct fabric attach

Device emulation types

TheXPfamilyofdiskarraysandtheSVS200supportthesedeviceemulationtypes:

• OPEN-3/8/9/E/L/V devices: OPEN-x logical units represent disk devices. Except for OPEN-V,

these devices are based on ﬁxed sizes. OPEN-V is a user-deﬁnedsize. Supportedemulations include OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, OPEN-E, OPEN-L, and OPEN-V devices.

• LUSE devices (OPEN-x*n): Logical U nit Size Expansion (LUSE) devices combine 2 to 36 OPEN-x

devices to create expanded LDEVs larger than standard OPEN-3/8/9/E/L/V disk devices. For example, an OPEN-x LUSE volume created from ten OPEN-x volumes is designated as OPEN-x*10.

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

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

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

NOTE:

For the SVS200, and the XP12000/XP10000 when connected to external storage devices, HP recommends using OPEN-V as the emulation the array makes visible to the host. This allows external storage LDEVs to be conﬁgured without losing data. Using any other emulation may cause data loss in the external storage LUNs.

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

Installation

SNMP conﬁguration

The XP family of disk arrays and the SVS200 support standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for remotely managing arrays. The SNMP agent on the service processor (SVP) performs error-reporting operations requested by the SNMP manager. SNMP properties are usually set from the SVP but they can also be set remotely using Command View (XP arrays only), Remote Web Console, or Command View XP Advanced Edition. Refer to the applicable user’s guide for procedures.

RAID Manager command devices

RAID Manager manages Business Copy (BC) or Continuous Access (CA) operations from a host server. To use RA with Command View (XP arrays only), Remote Web Console , or Command View XP Advanced Edition. Refer to the applicable user guide for information about how to designate a command device.

ID Manager you must designate at least one LDEV as a command d evice. This can be done
