HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system conﬁguration guide NonStop 7

8About this guide

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.

The HP NonStop operating system runs on HP S-series and Integrity NonStop servers to

provide continuous availability for applications, databases, and devices. The NonStop

OS and servers support high transaction volumes and complex mixed workloads. An

open application development environment supports common standards, including Java,

CORBA, SQL, OBDC, JDBC, HTTP, TCP/IP, and application programming interfaces.

Features and requirements

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

The disk arrayhasthefollowingfeatures:

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

XP128: From8to128drivesforupto36TB,48FCports

XP1024: From8to1024drivesforupto149TB,64FCports

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

•Server support. HP S-series and Integrity NonStop servers

•Operating system support. HP NonStop OS with the latest supported patches.

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

•Fibre Channel ServerNet Adapters (FCSAs) Install FCSAs and all utilities and

drivers. Refer to the FCSA 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

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 LC connectors

•Direct connect (PriNL) or fabric switch connect (N-port or DFA)

•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.
