RAID Manager description

HP StorageWorks RAID Manager XP (RM) enables you to perform operations with HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP (CA) and HP StorageWorks Business Copy XP (BC) by is suing comma nds fro m a serve r host to the disk arra y. The RM software interfa ces wi th t he syste m softwa re and high availabili ty (HA) software on the host, as well as with the BC an d CA software on the disk array.

This manual provid es instructions for installing and u si ng t he RM sof t wa re on various versions of UNIX, Microsoft Windows, and MPE/iX. Versions of RM are available for several other operating systems as well.

RAID Manager description 17

RAID Manager features and environment

RAID Manager lets you issue Bus in ess Copy ( BC) and Continuous Access (CA) commands from a host. These commands can be issued from the command line or built into a script (for example, a ksh, perl script, or DOS batch file).

You can execute a large number of BC and CA commands in a short period of time by using scripts containing RM commands. In MPE/iX, you can create POSIX command scripts. For more information about scripting, see

“Using RAID Manager commands in scripts” (page 59).

RM software consists of the following:

• RM instances (daemons)

• configuration files

• BC/CA commands and shell scripts

RM uses these entities:

• command devices

• BC/CA volumes

RM runs in these (and other) environments:

UNIX RM runs on a UNIX host as the HORCM

daemon.

Windows NT/2000/2003 RM runs on a Windows NT/2000/2003 host as

a service.

MPE/iX RM runs in MPE/iX as a job stream. See

Appendix E, “Porting notice for MPE/iX” .

OpenVMS RM runs on OpenVMS as a detatched process.

See Appendix F, “Porting notice for

OpenVMS” .

18 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP RAID Manager: User’s Guide

Continuous Access (CA)

CA copies data from a local HP XP disk array to one or more remote HP XP disk arrays. CA may b e used for data duplic ation , mi gration, and of fsite backup.

RM displays CA volume or group information and allows you to perform CA operations through either the command line, a script (UNI X), or a batch file (Windows).

Business Copy (BC)

BC software allows you to c re at e and maintain up to nine copies of data on the local disk array. These copies can be used for backup, data duplication, or testing.

BC duplicate volumes are created within the same disk array at hardw are speeds.

RM displays BC volume or group information and allows you to perform BC operations through e ither th e command lin e, a script ( UNIX), or a ba tch file (Windows).

When you use CA to make a duplicate copy of a volume on a remote disk array, and then make up to 9 internal BC copies on the remote disk array from that volume, you can effectively create up to 10 copies of a logical volume on the remote disk array.

RAID Manager description 19

RAID Manager instances

Each copy of RM is known as an RM instance. Instances are local or remote and can run on the same host or different hosts. Two RM instances are typically required to manage a BC or CA pair/group.

Local instance The RM instance currently being configured/used, or

Remote instance The RM instance that the local instance commu nicates

RM also provides failover and operation commands that can support mutual hot standby in cooperation with indus tr y-standard failover s oftware.

There are four possible RM topologies:

• One host connected to one disk array

the instance to which commands are issued. Local instances link to remote instances by using UDP socket serv ices.

with, as configured in the HORCM_INST section of an RM instance configuration file. The HORCM_INST section defines how device groups link to remote RM instances.

If you are using one host, both RM instances are located on the same host.

• One host connected to two or more disk arrays

By connecting the host to two disk arrays you can implement disaster recovery by maintaining duplicate data on two different disk arrays. When you choose this option, the host Logical Volume Manager must not be able to see both sides of the same BC or CA pair or it will become confused.

• Two or more hosts connected to one disk array

If you are using two hosts, one RM instance is located on each host. Connecting two hosts to one disk array allows you to maintain copies of the data that are controlled by independent hosts, allowing primary volumes (P-VOLs) to be used by one host while secondary volumes

20 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP RAID Manager: User’s Guide

(S-VOLs) are used by t he oth er host (for example, as a backup server) for testing or data duplication.

• Two or more hosts connected to two or more disk arrays

By connecting two hosts to two or more disk arrays, you can implement disaster recove ry by mainta ining d uplic ate dat a at a r emote location. Two hosts connected to two disk arrays allows the most flexible CA disaster recovery plan. The remote and local sets of data are administered by dif feren t hosts, guar ding agains t host fai lure. This is the configuration used by HA software, such as HP Met r oClus te r in conjunction with RAID Manager’s horctakeover command, which allows for both failover and failback.

RAID Manager description 21

RAID Manager command device

You must designate a special volume on the disk array as the RAID Manager command device. Th e command devi ce acce pts BC or CA control operations. These are seen as in-band SCSI read and write commands, and are executed by the disk array. The volume designated as the command device is used only by RM and is blocked from other user access.

The command device can be any OPEN-x device that the host can access. An RM command device uses a minimum of 16 MB of space. The remaining volume space i s reserve d for RM and its utili ties. You cannot use Logical Unit Size Expansion (LUSE) volumes as a command device; however, you can use the Volume Size Configuration (VSC) feature of Command View XP or LUN Configuration Manager XP to make custom volumes as small as 36 MB.

Caution Be certain that there is no data on a volume you select as a command

device. Any data on the volume you select becomes inaccessible.

Caution MPE/iX systems will need a dummy volume set. Create this through the

VOLUTIL utilit y pro gram and scratch the volume set befor e converting to a command device.

RM issues SCSI read/write commands to the command device. If the command device fails for any reason, all BC and CA commands terminate abnormally and the host cannot issue commands to the disk array.

To avoid data loss and system downtime, you can designate an alternate command device. Then, sho uld RM receive an error notification in r ep ly to a request, RM automatically switches to the alternate command device.

22 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP RAID Manager: User’s Guide

Manually switching command devices

To avoid having commands terminate during a f ai lur e, RM has a command device alternating function, which allows you to manually switch devices.

• How to define alternate command devices

You can define two or more command dev ices i n the HORCM_CMD section of the configuration definition file. If you specify two or more devices on the same line, they are recognized as alternating control devices for the same array. See “HORCM_C MD section” (page

47)(page 47).

• When the command device switches

When RM receives an error notification in reply from the operating system, the command device switches to an alternate device.

You can also alternate command devices manually by issuing an RM command. See “horcctl” (page 105).

• When to issue the alternate command device command

Issue the command to al ternate command d evices before t he command device is about to be blocked due to online maintenance.

After completing online maintenance, reissue the alternate command device command. The first command device is then activated.

• How RM handles multiple command devices at startup

If only one (of several) command devices from the configuration definition file is available at RM startup, the startup log will contain a warning.

You must confirm that RM has started without warnings in the startup log (and that horcctl –c will change the command device).

Installation

This chapter describes how to install and configure RAID Manager in several environments.

Installation 25

System and disk array requirements

RM requires that BC or CA b e i nstalled on the disk ar ra y. To determine the requirements for each product, see the following manuals:

HP StorageWorks Business Copy XP: User’s Guide HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP: User’s Guide

Using RAID Manager with Continuous Access

Ask your HP representative to configure the disk arrays for CA functions. Make sure of the following:

• The disk arrays have CA license keys installed.

• The sender ports (Initiator for Fibre Channel, RCP for ESCON) and receiver ports (RCU-Target for Fibre Channel and LCP for ESCON) are configured on the local and remote disk arrays.

• The path between the master and remote control units (CUs) is established by using Continuous Access.

• Bidirectional swap is enabled between the primary and secondary volumes. Verify that at least two physical links exist in each direction.

• One or more RM command dev ic es ar e s et, u s ing Command View XP or Remote Control XP software. If neither Command View XP nor LUN Configuration Manager XP is available, the HP representative can configure devices by using the disk arrays’ internal service processors (SVPs).

Using RAID Manager with Business Copy

Ask your HP representative to configure the disk array for BC functions. Make sure of the following:

• The disk array has the BC license key installed.

• One or more RM command dev ic es ar e s et , us ing Command View XP or Remote Control XP software. If neither Command View XP nor LUN Configuration Manager XP is available, the HP representative can configure devices by using the disk array’s (SVP).

26 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP RAID Manager: User’s Guide

Getting ready to install RAID Manager

You install and configure of RM with assistance from the HP representative, if necessary.

Before you install and configure RM, your HP representative must complete t hese prelimin ary steps:

1. Plan the mapping of the BC and CA disk volume pa irs. Determine which volumes to access.

2. Map the disk array interfaces to be used for each host.

Note: After completing the preliminary steps above, installing and configuring RM consists of the following tasks. Task details appear in the subsequent sections.

• Installing RAID Manager

Install the RM software on the hosts.

• Configuring the services and hosts files

Add a service name/number to the host services file (for example,

/etc/services) for each instance of RM. Configure the hosts file.

• Setting up the RM instance configuration file

Configure paths to one or more RM command devices for each host. All hosts and RM instances can use the same command device for a given disk array. However, it is recommended that each host have a unique command device.

• Starting the instances

This procedure also includes setting environment variables needed to issue commands to the desired instance of RM.

Installation 27

Installing RAID Manager on UNIX systems

Follow the steps specific to your UNIX system to install RM.

Note: If RM is alr eady ins talled and runn ing on a host , ensure th at all active instances are shut down before performing the installation.

1. Place the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Identify the CD-ROM device file to be substituted in the mount commands below (for example, /dev/dsk/c1t1d0).

3. Log in as a root user.

su root

4. Create a CD-ROM mount directory a nd make it acce ss ible to all users.

mkdir –p /cdrom chmod 777 /cdrom

5. Mount the CD-ROM.

HP-UX For HP-UX, use the mount comma nd with the –f option:

mount –f cdfs –o ro /dev/dsk/c1t1d0 /cdrom

Sun Solaris For Sun Solaris, use the mount command with the –f option:

mount –f hsfs –o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom/cdrom0

In most cases, Sun Solaris aut omat ica ll y mount s t he CD- ROM. If not, use this mount command:

mount –f hsfs –o ro /vol/dev/dsk/c0t6d0/cdrom0 /cdrom/cdrom0

IBM AIX For IBM AIX, use the mount command with the –rv option:

mount –rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom

6. Choose a file syst em for the RM soft ware. Y o u need about 5 MB of disk space. The standard and recommend ed file sys tem to load the soft ware to is /opt.

28 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP RAID Manager: User’s Guide

7. From the /opt directory, use cpio to unpack the archives. Create the HORCM directory if it does not already exist.

cd /opt mkdir HORCM (choose the next command according to your OS) cat /cdrom/LINUX/rmxp* | cpio –idum (or) cat /cdrom/AIX/rmxp* | cpio –idum (or) cat /cdrom/DIGITAL/rmxp* | cpio –idum (or) cat /cdrom/HP_UX/rmxp* | cpio -idum (or) cat /cdrom/SOLARIS/rmxp* | cpio –idum

8. Change the directory to /opt/HORCM and verify the contents. cd /opt/HORCM

Example

etc horcmuninstall.sh log0 usr horcminstall.sh log log1

9. Create a link from the root directory to the /opt/HORCM directory. ln –s /opt/HORCM /HORCM

10. Run the RM Installer.

/HORCM/horcminstall.sh

This script creates symbolic li nks in the /usr/bin directory for RM commands.

When you complete the installation, create all required configuration files.

Installation 29

Installing RAID Manager on Windows systems

1. Boot the Windows server and log in with administrator access.

2. Insert the RAID Manager CD in the CD-ROM drive.

3. Under the Start menu, select Run.

4. When the Run window opens, enter D:\WIN_NT\setup.exe (where D

is the letter of your CD-ROM drive) in the Open dialog box and click OK.

5. The installation wizard opens. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the RM software.
