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 new devices with assistance from your HP service representative. Features and requirements Ask your HP service representative about the latest supported hardware and software. has the following features: The disk array • Storage capacity. The s

Fibre Channel interface The XP family of disk arrays and the SVS200 support these Fibre Channel elements: • Connection speeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, and 4 Gbps (XP12000/XP10000 only) • Short-wave non-OFC (open fiber control) optical interface • Multimode optical cables with SC or LC connectors • Public or private arbitrated loop (FC-AL) or direct fabric attach Even though the interface is Fibre Channel, this guide uses the term “SCSI disk” because disk array devices are defined to the host as SCSI dis

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 Manag

Installation procedures Perform these actions to install and configure the disk array: 1. Install and configure the disk array • Setting the host mode and host group mode • Setting the System Option Mode • Configuring the Fibre Channel ports 2. Install and configure the host • Loading the OS and software • Installing and configuring the HBAs • Fabric zoning and LUN security 3. Connect the disk array • Defining the paths • Verifying the host recognizes array devices 4. Configure disk devices • Writing s

Setting the host mode and host group mode for the disk array ports After the disk array is installed, you must set the host mode for each disk array port to match the host OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in Remote Web Console (shown), Command View (XP arrays only), or Command View XP Advanced Edition. If these are not available, the HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP. TheavailablehostmodesettingsforWindows2000/2003areasfollows: Description Host mode 2C (availab

When a new host group is added, additional host group modes (options) may be configured. The storage administrator must verify if an additional host group mode is required for the host group. The following host group modes are available for Windows 2000/2003: Host Group Mode Function Default Comments 2 Inactive VERITAS DBE+RAC Database (Windows Edition/Advanced Cluster for Real 2003 only) Application Clusters or VERITAS® Cluster Server 4.0 with I/O fencing is used.

Configuring the Fibre Channel ports Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using Remote Web Console (shown), Command View (XP arrays only), or Command View XP Advanced Edition. Select the settings for each port based on your storage area network topology. Use switch zoning if you connect different types of hosts to the array through the same switch. Fibre address In fabric environments, the port addresses are assigned automatically. In arbitrated loop environments, set the port addresses

Fabric and connection parameter settings Set each array port to FABRIC ON or OFF with connections of POINT-TO-POINT or FC-AL as shown in the following table and figures. For detailed topology information, refer to the HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide on the www.hp.com website. Connection parameter Fabric parameter Provides OFF FC-AL NL-port (private arbitrated loop) ON FC-AL FL-port (public loop) for loop connection to a switch ON POINT-TO-POINT N-port (fabric port) for connection to a

Fabric zoning and LUN security By using appropriate zoning and LUN security, you can connect various servers with various operating systems to the same switch and fabric: • Storage port zones may overlap if more than one operating system needs to share an array port. • Heterogeneous operating systems may share an XP array port if you use Secure Manager and set the appropriate host group and mode. All others must connect to a dedicated XP array port. • Use Secure Manager for LUN isolation when mu

Connect the disk array The HP representative connects the cables between the array and the host or between the array and the SAN. Defining the paths Use Remote Web Console (shown), Command View (XP arrays only), or Command View XP Advanced Edition to define paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array. This process is also called “LUN mapping.” In Remote Web Console and Command View, LUN mapping includes: • Configuring ports • Enabling LUN security on the ports • Creating host groups •
