Disk Array XP operating system conﬁguration guide: Tru64 UNIX 7

8Preface

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.

The disk array has the following features:

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

XP128: From8to128drivesforupto36TB,48FCports

XP1024: From8to1024drivesforupto149TB,64FCports

XP10000: Up to 240drivesforupto69.2TB,48FCports

XP12000: Up to 1152 drives for up to 332 TB, 128 FC ports

•Server support. PCI-based AlphaStation or AlphaServer

•Operating system support. Tru64 UNIX, versions 4.0F/G or 5.1A/B with latest

supported patches

Conform the environment to these requirements before installing the array:

•Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) Install HBAs and all utilities and drivers. Refer to the

adapter 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 Conﬁguration and Security Manager XP

•(Optional) OtheravailableXPsoftware(somemaynotbesupportedbyyour

system):

HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP

HP StorageWorks Continuous Access Extension XP

HP StorageWorks Auto LUN XP

HP StorageWorks Data Exchange XP

Fibre Channel interface

The XP family of disk arrays supports these Fibre Channel elements:

•Connection speed of 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps

•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

•Fibre Channel switches

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 disks.

Device emulation types

The XP family of disk arrays supports these device emulation types:

•OPEN-x devices: OPEN-x logical units represent disk devices. Except for

OPEN-V, these devices are based on ﬁxed sizes. OPEN-V is a user-deﬁned size.

Supported emulations include OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, OPEN-E, OPEN-L,

and OPEN-V devices.

•LUSE devices (OPEN-

): Logical Unit Size Expansion (LUSE) devices combine 2

to 36 OPEN-x devices to create expanded LDEVs larger than standard OPEN-x

disk devices. For example, an OPEN-x LUSE volume created from ten OPEN-x

volumesisdesignatedasOPEN-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): LUSE CVS combines CVS devices

to create an 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.
