Overview

VA7100 Overview

The HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 7100 is a disk storage system that holds from 4 to 15 disk drives. The array has scalable capacities from 72 GB to 270 GB (211 GB usable) with all 18-GB disk drives and from 144 GB to 540 GB (428 GB usable) with all 36-GB disk drives and from 292 GB to 1.1 TB with 73-GB disk drives. Capacities and spindle speeds can also be mixed. The array requires a dual controller configuration to support MPE/iX. At least one controller must be attached to a management station running the HP StorageWorks Command View SDM software. Each controller has two DIMM slots available to hold NVRAM. The NVRAM is used for read/write caching and for storing array memory maps.

The Virtual Array 7100 can operate in either RAID 1+0 mode or AutoRAID mode, which eliminates the requirement for the system administrator to understand and configure RAID levels. AutoRAID dynamically adapts to the system’s workload, optimizing performance and cost. Users will find configuration significantly easier than other array products, since RAID levels don’t need to be configured or managed. The VA7100 supports one redundancy group, and all drives belong to that group. Using Virtual Storage Array (VSA) technology, when configured in AutoRAID mode the array controller automatically selects RAID 1+0 (disk striping and mirroring) or RAID 5DP (RAID 5 Double Parity) depending on the usage patterns of the data.

Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories

RAID 5DP provides superior data redundancy by protecting against the simultaneous failure of two member disks by using independent error correction schemes.

The VA7100 is designed to communicate with multiple hosts and multiple systems, otherwise known as heterogeneous support. Any combination of the supported operating systems: HP-UX, MPE/iX, Windows NT, Solaris, AiX, NetWare, Windows 2000, and Linux can be used. Two different protocols, or host port behaviors, are used by the array to communicate with the operating systems: one protocol for Windows/Linux/other and another for HP-UX. Depending on the firmware level of the VA7100, another was added for MPE/iX. The Windows/Linux host port behaviors must be configured in the array for communication to take place with any or all four supported operating systems on a controller. When changing the port protocol to Windows/Linux it does support concurrent operation with Windows/Linux and HP-UX. The VA7100 provides simultaneous access by all of the supported operating systems on a LUN-by-LUN basis. Each LUN operates appropriately given the description of the operating system requirements.

The VA7100 can be configured to utilize an active hot spare feature. An active hot spare is a portion of the disk array capacity reserved to perform a rebuild. This feature requires the use of two additional disk units in the array. An active hot spare ensures that the disk array can maintain data redundancy if one or two disks fails. Until it is needed, the disk array uses the active hot spare storage space as RAID 1+0 capacity, which improves array performance. The active hot spare storage capacity does not sit idle; it is used to increase the disk array performance until the storage is needed.

The chassis will accommodate up to 15 low-profile 3.5-inch hard disk drives loaded from the front. The array requires 3 EIA units (3U) in height, which allows 10 units to be placed in a standard 1.6-meter rack. The rear of the 3 EIA rack mountable chassis also includes two 1-GB Fibre Channel controllers, dual power supplies and dual fan modules. The redundant power supply and fan components are combined into a single module. All modules are hot swappable.

The array can be connected to one or more hosts, hubs, or switches via an optical Fibre Channel (FC) interface with 1 gigabit per second transfer rates. It can be ordered in factory-racked, field-rackable, or desk-side configurations. Factory-racked products are pre-configured in the HP Rack/System E racks. Field-rackable products can be racked in HP racks or in Compaq 9000 racks.

The VA7100 is supported by HP’s Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE). HP’s online diagnostic and resolution capability securely delivers remote reactive services that quickly resolve problems, proactive service that anticipate and prevent downtime due to computing issues, and value-added services to help monitor, manage and maintain global IT networks. A minimum level hardware support upgrade of same day is required. It is included with the VA for the first year (in addition to the warranty).

VA7110 Overview

The HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 7110 is a disk storage system that supports from four to 45 disk drives (two additional enclosures with 15 disks in each). The array has scalable capacities from 72 GB to 810 GB (211 GB usable) with all 18-GB disk drives and from 144 GB to 1.6 TB with all 36-GB disk drives and from 292 GB to 3.2 TB with 73-GB disk drives and from 584 GB to 6.5 TB with 146-GB disk drives. Capacities and spindle speeds can also be mixed. The array requires a dual controller configuration to support MPE/iX. At least one controller must be attached to a management station running the HP StorageWorks Command View SDM software. Each controller has two DIMM slots available to hold NVRAM. The NVRAM is used for read/write caching and for storing array memory maps.

The active hot spare storage capacity does not sit idle; it is used to increase the disk array performance until the storage is needed.

Each enclosure will accommodate up to 15 low-profile 3.5-inch hard disk drives loaded from the front. The array requires three EIA units (3U) in height (per enclosure), which allows ten units to be placed in a standard

1.6-meter rack. The rear of the EIA rack mountable chassis also includes two 1-GB fibre channel controllers, dual power supplies and dual fan modules. The redundant power supply and fan components are combined into a single module. All modules are hot swappable.

The array can be connected to one or more hosts, hubs, or switches via an optical fibre channel (FC) interface with 1 or 2 gigabit per second transfer rates (the default setting is 1 gigabit). It can be ordered in factory-racked, field-rackable, or desk-side configurations. Factory-racked products are pre-configured in the HP Rack/System E racks. Field-rackable products can be racked in HP racks or in Compaq 9000 racks.

A minimum level hardware support upgrade of same day is required. It is included with the VA for the first year.

The revision numbering for firmware for the VA7110 has changed. The revision numbering now consists of a string of 4 ASCII characters (the HP designation has gone away). For example, a revision code of “X123” represents the following:

• “X” is a single capital letter (A – Z) designating the platform

• “1” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a major FW revision

• “2” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a minor FW revision

• “3” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a sub-minor FW revision

VA7410 Overview

The HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 7410 is a Fibre Channel (FC) disk storage system that supports from ten to 105 disk drives. The VA7410 has two FC ports on each controller. The VA7410 is comprised of two types of enclosures, each three EIA units high: the virtual array controller enclosure (A6183A/AZ) and the disk system enclosure (A6214A/AZ) also referred to as the disk enclosure or the JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) enclosure. In addition, pre-defined SKUs are available to facilitate integrated arrays. The array consists of one controller enclosure and one to six disk enclosures, with scalable capacities from 181 GB to 1.90 TB (using 18-GB 15K rpm disk drives), 364 GB to 3.82 TB (using 36-GB 10K rpm disk drives), 720 GB to 7.67 TB (using 73-GB 10K rpm disk drives), or 1.46 TB to 15.33 TB (using 146-GB 10K rpm disk drives). Capacities and spindle speeds can also be mixed throughout the array.

Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories

Both enclosures include dual power supplies with built-in dual blowers, and accommodate up to 15 low-profile

3.5-inch native fibre channel (FC) disk drives in the front. The controller enclosure also includes dual redundant 1 or 2-Gbps FC capable array controller cards and the disk enclosure also includes dual redundant 1- or 2-Gbps link controller cards for back-end connections to the controllers. All field replaceable units are hot swappable. The array controller cards, however, must be replaced offline if the OS does not support controller failover.

The VA7410 can operate in either RAID 1+0 mode or AutoRAID mode. These data protection levels are user selectable at the time of initial array installation. Using Virtual Storage Array (VSA) technology, when configured in AutoRAID mode the array controller automatically selects RAID 1+0 (disk striping and mirroring) or RAID 5DP (RAID 5 Double Parity) depending on the usage patterns of the data. This protection scheme eliminates the requirement for the system administrator to understand and configure RAID levels.

RAID 5DP provides superior data redundancy by protecting against the simultaneous failure of two member disks by using independent error correction schemes. Users will find configuration significantly easier than other array products, since RAID levels don’t need to be configured or managed. The VA7410 supports two redundancy groups, which provides for physical data path separation of the two groups of LUNS.

The VA7410 is architected to communicate with multiple hosts and operating systems, otherwise known as a simultaneous heterogeneous environment. For details on supported operating systems, please refer to the Spock Website and Partnership Website:

One host port behavior is initially set in controller firmware, and then heterogeneous support for all other operating systems is enabled through software in a host port behavior table. The controller default host port behavior is set for HP-UX. The VA7xxx products are managed by the HP Command View SDM host-resident software. A one-host license to use for HP StorageWorks Command View SDM is included with each VA7410. Currently HP StorageWorks Command View SDM runs native on HP-UX, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Red Hat Linux 6.2, 7.1. Installations on any of the other supported operating systems will require a dedicated management station running one of the aforementioned operating systems to be in the data path of the VA7410 (i.e. in the switched fabric).

The VA7410 can be configured to use an active hot spare feature. An active hot spare is a portion of the array capacity reserved to perform a rebuild. This feature requires the use of additional disk drives in the array. Users can select from 0, 1, or 2 active hot spares. An active hot spare ensures that the array can maintain data redundancy if one or two disks fail. Until it is needed, the array uses the active hot spare storage space as RAID 1+0 capacity, which improves array performance. The active hot spare storage capacity does not sit idle; it is used to increase the array performance until the storage it is needed.

The VA7410 can be connected to one or more hosts, hubs, or switches via an optical fibre channel (FC) interface with OS-dependant, 1- or 2-Gbps transfer rates. The default factory setting is 1-Gbps. It can be ordered in factory-racked and field-rackable configurations. Factory-racked products are pre-configured in the HP Rack/System E racks. Field-rackable products can be racked in HP racks or in Compaq 9000 racks.

The VA7410 is supported by HP’s Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE). HP’s online diagnostic and resolution capability securely delivers remote reactive services that quickly resolve problems, proactive service that anticipate and prevent downtime due to computing issues, and value-added services to help monitor, manage and maintain global IT networks.

New Firmware Revision Code Designation for VA7410

Note: The release firmware for the VA7410 is “A100”.

The revision numbering for firmware for the VA7410 has changed. The revision numbering now consists of a string of 4 ASCII characters (the HP designation has gone away). For example, a revision code of “X123” represents the following:

• “X” is a single capital letter (A – Z) designating the platform

• “1” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a major FW revision

• “2” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a minor FW revision

• “3” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a sub-minor FW revision

Important VA7410/DS2405 Notes:

• On the VA7410 only the DS2405 is supported. For the VA7410, HP StorageWorks Command View SDM software version 1.05 or later is required.

• Disk drive firmware may need to be upgraded. For more information, please check the Service Note server at the following site and do a search on the VA family via product numbers to see all available and relevant service notes: http://snserver.mayfield.hp.com/ServiceNotes/Snwebsite/SearchbyProdNum.asp

• Additionally, on the DS2405, the LCC FC loop speed must be set to 2-Gbps (this is the factory default). If needed, refer to the DS2405 User Guide on setting LCC speed.

• The DS2405 is not supported connected directly to a switch.

• If you are upgrading to a VA7410 from an array with DS2400 JBODs, the DS2400 JBODs must also be

upgraded to DS2405 JBODs.

Product Features

Integrated VA arrays contain two (2) controllers. The array controllers contain the intelligence and functionality required to manage the operation of the entire array. The array functions include:

• Implementing HP Virtual Storage Technology to ensure optimum performance and cost-efficient data storage

• Managing all communication between the host and the disk drives via single or dual controller Fibre Channel arbitrated loops

• Maintaining data integrity by automatically correcting any data errors that occur

• Rebuilding the array in the event of a disk failure

• Monitoring the operation of all hardware components, including the controller itself

• Alerting the host in the event of a component failure

The use of two controllers protects the array against a single controller failure. Both controllers may be active, allowing a possible increase in performance, while providing data redundancy.

Each configured array controller includes the following components:

• One (1) or two (2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs), purchased separately if an additional Virtual Array Controller is added

• One (1) Battery

• One (1) Early Warning Switch

Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs)

Each controller utilizes one or two DIMMs, which contain battery-backed non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). The NVRAM is utilized for read/write caching and to store array memory maps. Because data is spread across all of the disks in the array, the array controller must have a way of determining where each block of data is located. This is accomplished using a logical-to-physical data map stored in NVRAM cache. This data map is vital to managing data; without it, all data in the array is inaccessible. Possible memory configurations are shown.

HP e3000 Business Servers Configuration Guide – Effective 1/04 4-111

Information Subject to Change

Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories

In a dual controller configuration, both controllers must have the same amount of cache memory as the contents of NVRAM are mirrored between the two controllers. This mirroring process insures that both controllers have exactly the same information in the event of a failure. The controller battery maintains NVRAM contents when normal power is not present. If the battery fails or loses its charge while power is off, the NVRAM contents are lost on that controller. To protect against data loss, the array power/standby switch turns off power to the array and the “Shutdown Operation” copies NVRAM contents to the disk drives in slots 1 and 2 of the array. This allows reconstruction of the data in NVRAM if the original data is lost or corrupted.

Note: When upgrading a VA7400 to a VA7410 or a VA7100 to a VA7110 or a VA7410, both DIMMs need to be the same part number (A6186-60002, for example).

Note: The process of copying the contents of NVRAM to the two recovery disks makes the disk set independent of its controller. Because all the necessary mapping information is on these disks, it is possible to install a new controller or move the entire disk set to another controller. The new controller will determine that it has a new disk set, and the controller will attach itself to those disks.

DIMM Sizes and Cache Sizes

VA7100 256-MB/controller 1024-MB/controller VA7110 1024-MB/controller 2048-MB/controller VA7410 1024-MB / controller 2048-MB / controller

Configurations of only one size DIMM in controllers are supported (for example, mixing 512-MB and 1024-MB DIMMs in the same controller is not supported).

Battery

Each array controller includes one battery to supply backup power to the DIMMs in the event have a power failure or if array power is switched off. If power is lost, the BATTERY LED will flash with a 5% duty cycle while it powers the DIMMs. The battery will maintain a charge for 3.5 days. If the battery loses its charge, or if it is removed from the controller, the DIMMs have no power and NVRAM contents are lost. A battery should be replaced when the software indicates a battery has failed.

Early Warning Switch

In a dual controller configuration, the NVRAM contents on both controllers are updated constantly. By maintaining a mirror image of the NVRAM, the secondary controller can take over immediately if the primary controller fails. If a dual controller needs to be replaced online, an early warning switch incorporated into the latch detects when the controller is being removed. Releasing the latch disables communication between controllers before power is lost to the controller being removed. This prevents corruption of the NVRAM contents.

Disk Drives

The array must have a minimum of four disk drives installed. Several types of disk drives can be installed in the array and capacities can be mixed within the array:

• 18-GB Low-Profile Fibre Channel 15,000 rpm (supported, but no longer orderable)

• 36-GB Low-Profile Fibre Channel 10,000 rpm

• 36-GB Low-Profile Fibre Channel 15,000 rpm

Peripherals and Accessories

The disk drives provide the storage medium for the disk array. A minimum of four disk modules is required to operate the disk array. Different capacity disk modules can be installed in the same array. A new disk can be added at any time, even while the disk array is operating. The array controller will recognize that a new disk has been added and will include the disk in the array configuration automatically if the Auto Include feature is enabled. To make the additional capacity available to the host, a new logical drive must be created, and the resulting drive must be configured into the operating system.

Chapter 4 Peripherals and Accessories

GBIC (VA7100 only)

A Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) is connected to each array controller as a transceiver for data and to convert the data from an optical signal to an electrical signal and vice versa. Each VAP includes a single GBIC. Based on user configurations, additional GBICs may be required. Only the GBICs A6203A (Enterprise) and A6241A (Commercial) are supported with the VA7100. These are Finisar GBICs, which provide readable serial number functionality.

Redundant Power Supply and Fan Modules

The array is shipped with two fully redundant power/fan modules. Each power/fan module contains:

• One load-sharing power supply which works in conjunction with the second power supply. The power supplies share the power load reciprocally; one supply automatically increases its output to compensate for reduced output from the other. If one power supply fails, the other supply delivers the entire load to maintain power for the array. If both power supplies fail, the controller will shutdown the array. Each power supply uses a separate power cord. Both power supplies can be plugged into a common power source, but it is recommended that each supply be plugged into a separate circuit to provide power source redundancy.

• Two internal fan modules provide cooling airflow and maintain the proper operating temperature for the entire array enclosure. If a fan fails, a fan fault will occur and the associated power supply will shut down. The other power supply will continue to operate and its associated fans will continue to cool the array. Also, if one power supply fails, both of its associated fans will continue to operate to cool the array.

Note: During normal operation, if a failed power supply/fan module is removed, it must be replaced within two minutes to maintain proper cooling of the array. If a power/fan module slot is left empty, the airflow path will be disrupted and the array will overheat.

Midplane

The midplane, internal to the array enclosure, contains the following features for the identification of the array. This information is stored into redundant EEPROMs during the manufacturing process:

Item Description

World Wide Name (WWN) The Node WWN is used by the OS drivers to identify the array enclosure. Default Fibre Channel Loop Addresses

Product Mode Parameters Retains various operating parameters Product Serial Number Same as the serial number sticker applied to the array Product ID Number VA7100 Same as the product ID number (A6188A) Product ID Number VA7110 Same as the product ID number (A7293A) Product ID Number VA7410 Same the product ID number (A6218A)

User installed licenses are stored within the Midplane EEPROM. These licenses are associated with a particular product serial number. If the Midplane must be replaced, a special Midplane may be ordered which, will allow the automatic regeneration of product serial number, licenses and product mode parameters. This information will be automatically re-programmed within the new Midplane EEPROMs if the replacement procedure is followed.

LED Status Indications

If a disk drive, controller, battery, DIMM, power supply or fan fails in the enclosure, a fault will be indicated by a fault (amber) LED on the module. The nature of the fault can be localized by examining the state of the LEDs.

The following default Fibre Channel loop addresses are assigned to array controllers: Array Controller 1: 108 Array Controller 2: 110

The default Fibre Channel loop addresses can be changed using either the Virtual Front Panel (VPF) or the Command Line User Interface (CLUI) included with your HP Command View SDM software.

NOTE: An array in a point-to-point configuration does not arbitrate for the bus, so no Fibre Channel loop addresses are required.

Long-Distance Configurations (Not supported on MPE/iX)

Long-distance topologies are part of the supported configurations, but may not specifically be represented in this document. Long-distance scenarios may be obtained with the following configurations by replacing host/device connections with any of the combinations of hubs/switches as shown below. Hubs/switches may be cascaded no more than two layers deep and must meet the Fibre-Channel distance criteria (10,000- and 500meter) for cables.

SAN Definitions

Configurations in this document that include a SAN assume the following definition of a SAN or fabric: A dedicated network of servers and storage devices all connected to a fabric supporting block access technologies. For the purposes of this document, a fabric is defined as a hardware configuration containing at least one switch, which is responsible for frame routing.

Open SAN is defined as heterogeneous (multiple vendor) servers and operating systems, heterogeneous storage, and heterogeneous infrastructure components. Pooled storage access is dependent on a LUN security methodology (zoning, partitioning, or dedicated LUN security) to provide data access by multiple heterogeneous servers. Multiple server access to common data is available only to homogeneous servers using server coordination software (e.g., MC/ServiceGuard for HP-UX and Cluster/iX for MPE/iX). Parallel server access is not supported on MPE/iX.

SAN Characteristics:

• Utilizes a switch-based topology

• Allows cascaded switches

• Supports heterogeneous (multiple vendor) storage

• Switch based

• Heterogeneous server/OS capable

• Heterogeneous (multiple vendor) storage

• Fabric login

• Uses LUN Security or zoning

Note: The SAN does not support common data access for heterogeneous servers.

SAN Manager (management software): Requires fabric login

• Employs LUN Security or zoning

HP StorageWorks Business Copy VA Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with HP StorageWorks Business Copy VA Software Media Kit?

Each HP StorageWorks Business Copy VA software media kit includes:

• Software CD

• User’s Manual

• 50-GB License To Use (not combinable - 50 GB max)

• 90 days of telephone support

In addition, to cover all capacity-based license-to-use options for HP StorageWorks Business Copy VA, one (1) support option is required.

How does HP StorageWorks Business Copy VA Licensing work?

In order to create HP StorageWorks Business Copy VA LUNs, a license must be obtained. Licensing is sold in quantities of 500 GB, 1 TB and 5 TB. The total size for all HP StorageWorks Business Copy VA LUNs cannot exceed the licensed amount for each virtual array.

HP StorageWorks Business Copy VA licensing is based on the total size of all parent LUNs being copied, not the total array capacity. For example, in an array with total usable capacity of two (2) Terabytes, if you are copying one (1) Terabyte of parent LUN data you must purchase a one (1) Terabyte HP StorageWorks Business Copy VA license.

Note: Licenses cannot span multiple arrays!

Every VA7000 series array contains a 50-GB trial license. This is a permanent capability of the array and is intended to allow the trial of the feature before committing to the purchase. The trial copy can be used for the life of the product. This trial license is NOT additive.

HP StorageWorks Fast Recovery Solutions for Microsoft Exchange 2000 & SQL 2000

HP StorageWorks Fast Recovery Solutions (FRS) is a tool designed to enable fast recovery of corrupt Exchange 2000 or SQL 2000 databases. FRS interacts with Windows 2000, Exchange 2000 or SQL server, and the disk array. The disk array stages recovery ready copies of Exchange 2000/SQL 2000 databases. When a catastrophic event occurs, the Exchange administrator initiates the FRS process. This process takes the damaged database offline, removes it and inserts the known good, recovery-ready copy on the production server. This process recovers the known good copy from disk rather than tape providing a full database recovery in minutes not hours.
