1 System Components and Specifications
This chapter provides detailed system specifications for the HP 3PAR S-Class and T-Class Storage systems and serves as a quick reference for other relevant specifications that are described in more detail in other chapters of this manual.
HP 3PAR Storage System Components
HP 3PAR Storage systems are based on the HP 3PAR architecture, a cluster-based approach that incorporates sophisticated data management and fault tolerance technologies that can meet the storage needs of smaller sites and can easily be scaled for global organizations.
The HP 3PAR S-Class and T-Class Storage systems are housed in a 2 meter cabinet and are comprised of the following components:
•
Controller Nodes are high-performance, data movement engines that provide the caching capabilities and manage the flow of data in a storage system. HP 3PAR Storage systems contain two, four, six, or eight controller nodes depending on the backplane model and current system configuration.
•
HP 3PAR Storage System Backplane works in conjunction with the controller nodes to route data. This passive, full-mesh backplane enables high-bandwidth and low-latency internal pathing that supersedes bus-, switch-, and even InfiniBand-based architectures.
•
Drive Chassis houses the drive cages that, in turn, contain the drive bays. Each drive bay can accommodate a single drive magazine that holds an array of four hard disk drives. These are intelligent, compact, extremely dense storage units, where each is capable of holding a large numbers of disk drives in a small rack space (EIA-standard rack units).
•
Fibre Channel Adapters and FC-AL modules provide high speed routing of data and enable granular and potentially massive connectivity to hosts and to the drive chassis.
•
Storage System Service Processor (SP) provides the remote error detection and reporting capabilities that support diagnostic and maintenance activities involving HP 3PAR Storage systems. In general, one SP is required per storage system.

This chapter provides general recommendations for physical planning and site preparation for installation and operation of the HP 3PAR S-Class and T-Class Storage systems.
General Planning
Successful installation of HP 3PAR Storage systems requires careful planning and supervision in collaboration with authorized HP representatives. Proper planning will help provide for a more efficient installation and greater reliability, availability, and serviceability.
Customer Responsibilities
When planning and preparing for the installation of HP 3PAR Storage systems at a customer site, the customer assumes the following responsibilities:
•
Providing suitable space for unpacking, installing and operating the servers
•
Maintaining the proper environmental conditions for the servers
•
Providing adequate power facilities for the servers
•
Supplying the network connections and external cabling required by the servers
•
Enabling the appropriate HP remote support strategy
The customer is responsible for providing a suitable space and environment for the installation of the HP 3PAR Storage systems. All pre installation activities should be scheduled and completed before the equipment is delivered.
Electronic equipment has special packing for shipping and receives special handling during transportation; the manufacturing environment and packing for shipping are the responsibilities of
3PAR. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that space is available for unpacking and installing the new equipment upon delivery.
For optimal performance at a specific location, HP 3PAR Storage systems require controlled environmental conditions that can best be facilitated through raised flooring and under-floor air conditioning. It is the customer's responsibility to monitor this environment to ensure continued conformance with the recommended environmental specifications. Refer to
for specific information concerning server room environments.
Adequate power is necessary for the reliable functioning of electronic equipment and for the safety of the customer's installation. The customer is responsible for procuring, installing, and maintaining adequate power to the equipment. Refer to
“Power Requirements” (page 28)
for input electrical power and grounding requirements.
Planning for Installation
The following are suggested site planning considerations to be completed prior to the delivery and installation of the selected HP 3PAR Storage system.
•
Prepare a preliminary layout of the subsystem installation.
•
Review the power and the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) requirements.
•
Order any additional support equipment indicated by the power and HVAC review.
•
Work with the appropriate HP representative to ensure that all system units in the specified configuration and all cables of the required length have been ordered.
•
Make a final layout of the installation and review the layout with your HP representative.
•
Select key personnel and arrange for training with your HP representative.
General Planning 13
•
Verify that electrical service wiring has been installed at the server’s predetermined location.
Refer to the respective product specifications for detailed requirements.
•
Verify of any additional support equipment is properly installed and operational.
At installation time, the HP representative will supervise the delivery and unpacking of the equipment.
The representative must also review the crate with the customer to check that the shipping crates have not been tampered with. When unpacking the equipment, verify the shipment is correct and all equipment was delivered. Refer to the packing slip and the SKUs with the shipment.
NOTE: No part of the installation, from unloading the crated server from the delivery vehicle to unpacking and placement, should be performed without the supervision of a HP representative.
This is a fundamental requirement for the safety of both the equipment and personnel.
Preparing a Pre-Installation Site Planning Guide
Prior to installation, the customer will complete a systems planning document such as the HP 3PAR
Systems Assurance and Pre-Site Planning Guide in cooperation with the local HP Sales Representative or HP Systems Engineer.

cm) x 28 inc. (71 cm)
1, 1
Approximate shipping weight: 78 lb (35 kg)
When the equipment arrives, you must make sure that there is enough room to unload and unpack the server. The specific amount of space you will need to unpack the server is based on the dimensions of the container, the ramp and the room required to access the server so that it can be moved to its placement destination. You will need to reserve enough space to accommodate the crate, the ramp and the Storage System as depicted in the following illustration:
Figure 3 Total Area Required for Unpacking a storage system
The specific amount of space you will need to unpack the server is based on the dimensions of the container, the ramp and the room required to access the server so that it can be moved to its placement destination. See and
“Cabinet Shipping Container” (page 15)
for calculating the specific dimensions of the shipping crate.
NOTE: See
“Structural/Environmental Considerations” (page 18)“Providing for Service Access”
for more information on placing the storage systems and reserving room for service access.
Cabinet Shipping Container
Measurements for the shipping container are as follows:
•
Cabinet crate (one per cabinet): Height: 83 inches (210.8 cm) x Width: 42 in. (106.7 cm) x Depth: 51 in. (129.5 cm)
•
Open ramp length: 76 inches (193 cm)
•

Acclimatization
HP 3PAR Storage systems shipped or stored at extreme temperatures may require time to adjust to operating temperatures before starting up. The maximum acceptable rate of temperature change for a non-operating system is 18° F/hr (10° C/hr). The storage system requires time to acclimatize to new environmental conditions before being powered on. During that time, it is possible to proceed with the physical installation of the storage system; however, the storage system may need at least 24 hours to acclimatize to a new environment prior to completing the full system installation.
If condensation is present even after the 24 hour acclimatization period, it is necessary to wait until all condensation has evaporated before completing the power-on sequence.
Shipping and Acclimatization Requirements 17
3 Structural/Environmental Considerations
You should consider the following when choosing or designing your facilities for HP 3PAR Storage systems:
•
Equipment location and layout that allows efficient use, easy maintenance, and future expansion.
•
Facility construction that provides a suitable operating environment, sufficient power and adequate protection from fire, contamination, or other hazards.
•
Suitable temperatures and appropriate air quality that is free from environmental contaminants.
The customer is responsible for maintaining the room environment according to the recommended specifications. Environmental conditions for the room and under the floor must be maintained within the acceptable limits to prevent any adverse impact on performance and reliability. The installation environment should be monitored on a regular basis to ensure continued conformance to recommended environmental specifications. The customer may request assistance from a HP representative to help in analyzing the site location and environment to make appropriate recommendations.
Establishing the Proper Foundation
As with any electronic equipment that generates heat, the HP 3PAR Storage systems must be housed in a cool environment. Common techniques for maintaining an optimal operating environment generally incorporate the use of raised flooring and alternating hot and cold aisle layouts.
Benefits of Raised Floors
While not required, HP 3PAR Storage systems can be installed on raised floors with under the floor air cooling. Raised floors will allow cables to be located safely beneath the floor. If the facility does not have raised floors and under the floor air cooling, temperature and airflow must be in compliance with the recommended specifications.
The raised floor system should consist of removable panels or panels on a stringer grid system, supported by adjustable steel pedestal assemblies. The raised floor can be constructed of steel, aluminum, or fire-retardant wood. The purpose of the raised floor system is to:
•
Permit space between floors to supply cooled air to the equipment.
•
Support the total weight of the system and service area loading.
•
Protect interconnecting cables and power receptacles.
•
Allow for future layout changes with minimum cost.
•
Provide safety for personnel.
Raised Floor Requirements
There are additional structural considerations when installing HP 3PAR Storage systems in environments with raised flooring.
NOTE: This section considers a standard raised floor construction that consists of the following:
24 in. (61 cm) square or 24 in. (61 cm) X 36 in. (91.5 cm) panels, steel or aluminum stringers, and pedestal supports attached to an underlying concrete slab or steel deck.
Prior to installation, verify the raised floor at the operating site meets the specifications described in

Anchoring Dimensions for HP 3PAR Storage Systems
For some installations, you may want to anchor HP 3PAR Storage systems to the floor for better stability, especially in active seismic locations. While HP does not supply, or specifically recommend any particular anchoring solution, there are several third-party anchoring kits that can be procured for this purpose.

Additional Flooring Recommendations
Consider the following recommendations for raised floor installations:
•
The flooring should be high enough to allow under the floor routing of cables and specified airflow to system air intakes. The recommended minimum floor clearance is 30.5 cm (12 in).
An additional 7.6 cm (3 in) should be allowed for cables and connectors. A floor clearance of 46 cm (18 in) is recommended for new construction.
Additional panel support may be required to restore the structural integrity of a raised floor panel that has been cut for air opening, cable entry, and so on. Raised floors without stringers may also require lateral support to prevent floor tile movement.
The finished floor-to-ceiling height should be a minimum of 2.44 meters (8 feet).
•
The sub-floor must have adequate drainage to prevent flooding and trapping of water beneath the raised floor. Cement should be sealed to prevent the formation of particulates.
•
To avoid an electrical hazard when using a metallic floor, no metal or conductive material should be exposed to the walking surface.
•
Sharp edges must be eliminated on all floor cutouts where cables pass. For wood or similar core material, all cut edges must be covered with metal or plastic clips or grommets so that none of the core is exposed (see NFPA 75 requirements).
•
Asphalt tiles are not recommended because they produce dust that may cause equipment malfunction.
•
Carpeting is not recommended because it produces and holds dust, and can contribute to the buildup of electrostatic charges on people and equipment.
•
Most raised floors are composed of 60 cm (International/Metric) or 24 in. (Domestic/American
Standard) square floor tiles. The maximum panel size should not exceed 60 by 90 cm
(International/Metric) or 24 by 36 in. (Domestic/American Standard). The panels should have a flame spread rating of 15 or better when tested according to the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E 84.
•
Provide a conductive path to ground from the metallic raised floor structure through the metallic supporting structure or separately from each tile.
•
Ensure the maximum resistance for floor surface material is 20 gigohms, measured between the floor surface and building ground.
•
The resistance between adjacent tiles should not be less than 150 kilohms when measured between any points on the floor, spaced 91.5 cm (36 in) apart.
•
Maintenance of antistatic floor covering should be performed according to supplier's recommendations.
•
The floor covering can contribute to a buildup of high static electrical charge. To minimize static charge:
Hot-Aisle/Cold-Aisle Cooling Layout
Air flows through the HP 3PAR Storage systems from the front to the rear, so when installing multiple servers in the same room, consider facing each pair of servers in a front to rear configuration. This allows cool air to be circulated through the rows in the front of the servers and exhausted through rows in back. This is referred to as a hot-aisle/cold-aisle layout and eliminates the direct transfer of hot exhaust air from one server into the intake air of another as shown in
Establishing the Proper Foundation 23
Figure 12 Hot-Aisle/Cold-Aisle Layout
Form rows of racks or cabinets perpendicular to air conditioners. This formation facilitates an unobstructed flow of heated air down the aisles to the air conditioner return ducts. Heated air must not be forced to travel over or between the cabinets to get to the air conditioner return ducts. Doing so could heat the air in the cold aisles. Ensure that any free-standing equipment does not allow air to flow between the hot and cold aisles.
A cold aisle has perforated floor tiles or grates that enable cold air to rise from the raised floor whereas the hot aisle has no tiles or grates so that hot air and cold air do not mix. Seal cable cutouts in both hot aisles and cold aisles to increase under the floor pressure and to eliminate cold or hot air redirection. To further optimize the airflow in hot and cold aisles, install blanking panels at the front of all unused cabinet spaces so that hot air does not recirculate to the system’s cold air inlet.
Providing for Service Access
HP 3PAR Storage systems are housed in 2M (40U) cabinets that measure 76.4 in. (194 cm) x
23.8 in. (60.5 cm) x 36 in. (91.4 cm). Cabinets feature locking rear doors and removable side panels and fascias to improve access while installing, cabling, and servicing components.
When establishing an operating site for an HP 3PAR Storage system, provide for adequate access to cabinets by following the access area recommendations in
.
24 Structural/Environmental Considerations
NOTE: The S800 and T800 Storage systems have circuit breakers located at both the front and rear of the system. It is necessary to maintain access to both the front and rear circuit breakers.

NOTE: HP cabinets do not require side access during operation. However, during installation, it is a good practice to allow 3 ft (91.4 cm) on one side of the cabinet in case it becomes necessary to remove a side panel. For instance, access through a side panel may be required for overhead power cable routing.
Meeting Environmental Conditions
For the HP 3PAR Storage systems, it is recommended that you maintain a controlled environment requiring a high degree of cleanliness, close control of temperature and humidity, and infrequent personnel access.
HP also recommends the installation site meet the specifications detailed in GR-63-CORE for office vibration.
CAUTION: The storage system operating environment must be free from continuous vibration and from dust and other environmental contaminants.

Maintaining the Optimal Temperature
The level of cooling required for the HP 3PAR Storage systems is quite different from the air-conditioning used in offices. Comfort air-conditioning systems are designed for the lower heat and higher moisture generated by the human body. In contrast, equipment has high heat output that is moisture-free (sensible heat). In comfort systems, sensible heat normally produces 60 to 70
Meeting Environmental Conditions 25
percent of the load, whereas the dry heat of electronic equipment produces a sensible heat ratio of over 95 percent.
Prior to installation, verify that the operating site is equipped with a cooling system that can support all thermal emissions. Use the average and maximum thermal emissions of storage system components listed in
to estimate the cooling requirements for an HP 3PAR
Storage system based on a specific system configuration.
Proper site layout is critical to ensure the ambient temperature near the intake of the system does not rise beyond the system specifications. Exceeding the maximum ambient temperature for any period negatively affects the system’s reliability and performance, and continued operation for extended periods under such conditions might actually cause the system to shut down.
CAUTION: Heated air from nearby equipment should not exhaust into the front of the HP 3PAR
Storage system.

HP 3PAR Storage systems require a minimum of two drive chassis; however, additional drive chassis can be installed individually.
HP 3PAR Storage systems can tolerate temperature and humidity fluctuations if the specified guidelines are understood and followed. Exposure to conditions outside the specified ranges may damage the system or its components.
Before a system is powered on, the air entering the subsystem must be clean and within the ranges specified for temperatures and humidity. The room humidity must be kept sufficiently low to prevent condensation on or within the subsystem, and must never exceed the limit specified in the subsystem environmental requirements tables, including transients. The server must never be exposed to conditions that could cause internal condensation to occur within the subsystem.
The air-conditioning units should have controls monitoring under the floor output that respond to
1° C (2° F) and 5 percent relative humidity. Humidification is normally required to replace moisture removed during the cooling process. The relative humidity for a subsystem equipment room should be set at 40 percent. This level is sufficient to suppress electromagnetic charge buildup, and low enough to avoid the risk of corrosion and condensation. To avoid air contamination from the humidifier, water treatment may be necessary in areas with high mineral content.
Air Supply and Flow
The air flow capacity of the facility where the HP 3PAR Storage systems are installed needs to be sufficient to remove the heat generated by the equipment. In addition, the air handlers must provide the airflow volume required by the units being cooled. To ensure this airflow, the facility must have a positive under the floor air pressure (if the facility has raised floors). When conditions within the computer room are changed (new units are added, the computer system is moved) airflow checks should be made.
The amount of outside (composition) air should be kept to the minimum needed to create a slight positive pressure within the room, and should not exceed industry recommendations of 0.3 cubic meter/minute (10 cubic feet/minute) per person stationed in the equipment room. While
26 Structural/Environmental Considerations
recommendations for outside air in comfort air-conditioning are 10 to 15 percent of the airflow, the computer room environment is cleaner and operates more efficiently if outside air is kept below
1 percent of the airflow. Cooling/heating and humidification needs are reduced, and a minimum of contaminated building air is introduced into the installation area.
Air Cleanliness
Air contaminants can cause equipment malfunction and can damage HP 3PAR Storage systems.
It is essential that steps be taken to prevent air contaminants, such as metal particles, solvent vapors, corrosive gases, soot, airborne fibers, or salt, from entering or being generated within the server room environment.
A high-efficiency air filter should be employed on each air inlet for outside air to stop dust at the point of entry to the installation site. Special additional filtering is necessary where the environment is exposed to salt air, corrosive gases, or unusual dust/dirt conditions. Electronic equipment is sensitive to air contaminants such as:
•
Excessive amounts of soot particles
•
Condensate particulates such as carbonates
•
Concrete particulates from unsealed concrete
•
Metal flakes or filings, such as those produced by sawing, filing, or drilling
•
Floor-cleaning solutions with high ammonia content . Deteriorating/decomposing building materials, including floor tiles, fabrics, sheetrock, insulation, and acoustical tiles
•
Pollutants generated by any servicing performed in and around the computer room
•
Paper chaff, dust, and toners from printers within the computer room
•
Processing chemicals from reproduction equipment such as microfiche processors.
In electronic equipment, contaminants cause connector contact and motor-bearing degradation.
They also cause electrical leakage, shorting paths between integrated circuit leads and between printed wiring traces on printed circuit boards.
Air supplied to and circulated within the server room and under the floor plenums should ideally pass through mechanical or electrostatic filters. HVAC ducts and plenums and sub-floor areas, including cable raceway openings where used, should be kept clean. All unused cables, hardware, and debris should be removed from the under the floor area to avoid becoming dust/dirt traps or potential sources of rust.
During major changes in the server room environment, special considerations must be taken into account whenever any drilling, sawing, welding, brazing, etc., is performed.
Precautions must be taken to prevent material particles (concrete or metal particles, etc.) from becoming airborne. HP 3PAR Storage systems should be powered down during construction that requires any drilling, sawing, welding, brazing, etc. In addition, all debris must be removed before powering up the server(s). Maximum concentrations of corrosive gases and solvent vapors must also be considered.
Meeting Environmental Conditions 27
4 Power Requirements
This chapter describes the general power requirements for the HP 3PAR Storage systems.
Powering HP 3PAR Storage Systems
The cabinets used to house the HP 3PAR Storage system components are divided into power domains where each contains a drive cage or controller node and two dedicated power supplies.
Drive cages and controller nodes depend on these two power supplies, located at the rear of the system, to supply power from the Power Distribution Units (PDUs) that are located at the bottom of the cabinet.
Figure 13 Power Supplies Within the Power Domains
HP cabinets contain four PDUs and each requires service from a dedicated single-phase 200-240
VAC (200-250 VAC International), 30-A (32-A International) grounded electrical circuit. However, for optimal reliability and data accessibility, HP recommends a redundant AC configuration that uses independent sources to provide a dedicated, grounded electrical circuit to each PDU as shown in the following configuration:
28 Power Requirements
NOTE: If a storage system cabinet does not have components installed in the top four bays (bays
0–3, or the highest 16U of the cabinet), the two upper PDUs (PDU 0 and PDU 1) are not used to power the system and need not be connected. Redundant power is still supplied to the lower bays in the cabinet through PDU 2 and PDU 3.
Storage server PDUs are equipped with NEMA® L6–30 or IEC 60309 connectors, depending on the region. International PDUs are equipped with IEC 60309, 2P+E (3 wire, 2 Pole + Earth Ground) connectors. The appropriate receptacles or adapters are necessary at the operating site to accommodate these connectors.
Power Distribution Units (PDUs)
For each cabinet, the four Power Distribution Units (PDUs) occupy the lowest chassis bay in the cabinet.
Figure
illustrates the four PDUs at the bottom of a 3PAR cabinet.
Figure 14 Power Distribution Units
Each PDU has two power banks, each with a separate circuit breaker, to be used exclusively for
storage system components ( Figure 15 (page 30)
).
Powering HP 3PAR Storage Systems 29
Figure 15 Power Banks in the PDU
WARNING!
To avoid possible injury, damage to storage system equipment, and potential loss of data, do not use the surplus power outlets in the storage system PDUs. Never use outlets in the
PDUs to power components that do not belong to the storage system or to power storage system components that reside in other cabinets.
Power Cord Connections
Storage systems arrive with all internal power cords configured and connected. The AC cords connect two power supplies at the rear of the controller nodes and drive chassis to the PDUs at the bottom of the cabinet. The length of the power cord is 10 feet. The power cords can be routed through the lower access opening at the bottom of the cabinet or the upper access opening at the
top of the cabinet ( Figure 16 (page 30)
). The side panels are removable for easier cabling access.
Figure 16 Power Cord Routing Options
30 Power Requirements
NOTE: When routing the power cords through the bottom of the 2 meter cabinet, the usable cord length extends 9.5 to 10 feet away from the cabinet. If routing from the top, approximately
4 feet of the power cord is usable.
Electrical Requirements and Limitations
Before physically installing an HP 3PAR Storage system, verify that the operating site has the necessary electrical circuitry. Each HP 3PAR Storage system will require 4 (200 - 240) Volt, 30
Amp outlets or 2 outlets if only the bottom half of the cabinet is occupied. For proper redundant power protection, power should be supplied from two or more power sources.
HP recommends the installation site conform to the electrical specifications detailed in
ANSI/TIA-942-2005 Annex G5, specifically:
•
Use of K-rated isolation transformers, typically 480:208V/120 volt step-down transformers, will minimize any common mode noise between electrical ground and neutral. The voltage delta between power ground and signal ground will also be reduced. Isolation transformers should be located as close to the load as possible.
•
Appropriate capacity Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) devices should be installed at each level of the facility electrical distribution system. Each distribution panel should have its own dedicated TVSS. This multi-tiered approach has proven to be effective at reducing electrical transients.
•
The installation site should have a comprehensive building ground system. A properly grounded building perimeter loop should be provided and the building steel should be bonded to the system at every other column. This building ground system should be directly bonded to all major power distribution equipment, including all switchgear, generators, UPS systems, transformers, etc., as well as to the telecommunications systems and lightning protection system.
•
Installation of a UL Master-Labeled lightning protection system is recommended.
Use the approximate current requirements for storage system components listed in
to estimate the current requirements for a specific system configurations.
Power Quality
The quality of the input power is critical to the performance and reliability of HP 3PAR Storage systems. Variations in the input power can cause a power failure or malfunction. Many of the causes of transient signals and noise on commercial power lines are difficult to locate or are beyond the customer’s control. To reduce the impact of the irregularities, some form of power conditioning may be needed. Please consult your electrician for assistance.
Voltage and Frequency Tolerance
Steady state voltage must be maintained within 10 percent of the normal rated voltage, measured
(under load) at the power input terminal of the specified server. The frequency must be maintained at (50-60 HZ), 1 phase 50/60 +2 percent, -4 percent.
When there is a possibility of brownouts or other marginal voltage conditions, installing a voltage monitor may be advisable.
Voltage Spikes
HP 3PAR Storage systems are tested to comply with the EN 61000-45 standard.
Electrical Requirements and Limitations 31
Installing a lightning protection device on the server room power source is recommended when the following conditions exist:
•
The primary power is supplied by an overhead power service.
•
The utility company installs lightning protectors on the primary power source.
•
The area is subject to electrical storms or an equivalent type of power surge.
Electrostatic Discharge
HP 3PAR Storage systems are susceptible to failure due to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic charges can accumulate on people and furniture because of direct contact with floor coverings or movement while in contact with furniture coverings. Discharge of static electricity to a metal surface on server cabinets can interfere with the system’s operation and cause discomfort to anyone who comes in contact with it.
Some factors that contribute to electrostatic discharge are:
•
High-resistance floor covering
•
Carpeting without anti-static properties
•
Low humidity (less than 20%)
HP 3PAR Storage systems are tested to comply with the EN 61000-45 standard.
Branch Circuits
The individual panel branch circuits should be protected by suitable circuit breakers properly rated according to manufacturer specifications and applicable codes. Each circuit breaker should be labeled to identify the branch circuit it is controlling. The receptacle should also be labeled. Plan on a circuit breaker maximum of 30 A per PDU (de-rated to 24 A).
Emergency Power Control
As a safety precaution, you might consider providing emergency power-off controls for disconnecting the main service wiring that supplies the HP 3PAR Storage systems. Install these controls at a convenient place for the operators and next to the main exit doors of the room after checking local electrical codes for further guidelines.
Redundant Power
HP 3PAR Storage systems with HP cabinets support redundant power within the system through the use of redundant PDUs and redundant power supplies.
As shown in
and
, power domains within the storage system are distributed between the upper and lower halves of the cabinet.
32 Power Requirements

WARNING!
To avoid possible injury, damage to storage system equipment, and potential loss of data, do not use the surplus power outlets in the storage system PDUs. Never use outlets in the
PDUs to power components that do not belong to the storage system or to power storage system components that reside in other cabinets.
To support redundant power:
•
The power supplies in each power domain must connect to separate PDUs.
•
Each PDU in the system must connect to an independent AC circuit.

5 Network, Cabling and Connectivity
This chapter provides information about determining the best network configuration for the HP
3PAR Storage systems being installed at your site, necessary connections and cable routing options.
NOTE: The information that follows assumes an established network and discusses how to connect an HP 3PAR Storage system to that network.
Planning Network Access
External Ethernet, Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI, and Remote Copy cable connections are completed at the time of installation.
These external connections are necessary to:
•
Connect the storage system to the network, enabling storage system management through the
InForm Management Console and CLI.
•
Allow communication with the storage system from the Service Processor (SP) when in use.
•
Enable HP Customer Service personnel to monitor and service the storage system via the SP.
Refer to the Secure Service Architecture white paper for additional information.
NOTE: All networking equipment, including all necessary switches, hubs, and cables, are to be provided by the customer unless otherwise indicated.
Supported Network Topologies
Several different network topologies can be used to connect the storage system to the local area network, depending on operating site policies and requirements. Currently, the three major supported topologies are shared , split , and private . However, other possible network configurations might be available. To learn more, ask your sales and support representative.
NOTE: To provide redundancy and to permit online software upgrades, both controller nodes in a single horizontal node pair (for example, nodes 0 and 1, nodes 2 and 3, and so on) must maintain connections to the internal customer network.
NOTE: The SP is often unused or powered off in the CC mode configuration. In some instances, the SP is only active for maintenance operations and software updates.
Shared Network
With a shared network topology, the storage system and SP share the internal customer network
(
).
Planning Network Access 37
Figure 20 Storage System and SP on the Customer Network (Shared Topology)
A shared topology requires:
•
A static IP address and system name for the storage system.
•
Two Ethernet connections from a switch or hub to the storage system controller nodes.
•
A static IP address for the SP.
•
One Ethernet connection from a switch or hub to the SP.
•
At least one management station on the network segment.
Private Network
With a private network topology, the storage system and the SP sit on the same private network segment on the customer local area network. All management workstations used to administer the system must also sit on the same private network segment (
).
Figure 21 Storage System and SP on a Private Segment (Private Topology)
A private topology requires:
•
A static IP address for the storage system.
•
Two Ethernet connections from the storage system to a private network segment.
•
One Ethernet connection from the SP to the private network segment.
•
At least one management station on the private network segment.
38 Network, Cabling and Connectivity
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that the private network segment also have a management station to communicate with the SP.
NOTE: This configuration does not permit the SP to communicate with the remote support center.

Fibre Channel adapters are used to connect to the customer FC switch and/or hosts and connect controller nodes to drive chassis within the system. The number of ports available for the host connection will vary based on the configuration. Depending on the number of controller nodes in the system, the type of Fibre Channel adapters installed, and the method of drive chassis connection being used, a storage system can support a maximum of 32 drive chassis. Controller nodes can
hold a maximum of six PCI adapters ( Figure 22 (page 42)
for the S-Class and
for the T-Class).
NOTE: Ethernet Port (E0) is also used for the management interface connection.
Fibre Channel Connections 41

42 Network, Cabling and Connectivity
Fibre Channel adapters can have either two ports (dual-port adapters ) or four ports (quad-port
adapters).
Required Cables
The quantities and lengths of the cables required for storage system installation vary according to the specific storage system and network configuration. Fibre Channel cables are used externally to connect the controller node to the customer switch or host (in the case of a directly connected host). Fibre Channel cables are used internally to connect the controller node to the drive chassis
(inter-cabinet or cabinet to cabinet).
The Fibre Channel cables provided by HP have a custom strain relief feature to help maintain the proper bend radius of the cables. For this reason, 3PAR requires that you use only Fibre Channel cables provided by HP. However, HP does not provide any networking cables or equipment such as Ethernet and modem cables.

NOTE: For Ethernet and Fibre Channel cables that connect the storage system to the network and hosts, reserve approximately 7 feet (2 meters) of each cable for internal routing within the storage system cabinet. Measure the distance between the two cabinets and add 14 feet (4 meters) to determine the total length of cable required.

To provide redundancy and to permit online software upgrades, both controller nodes in a single horizontal node pair
(for example, nodes 0 and 1, nodes 2 and 3, and so on) must maintain connections to each host server.
•
Each controller node supports one Ethernet connection to a switch or hub. Separate connections from the Ethernet switch or hub to at least two controller nodes are required to support redundancy.
With redundancy, one IP address is shared between the two connections and only one network connection is active at a time. If the active network connection fails, the IP address is automatically moved to the surviving network connection.
•
At a minimum, the storage system requires one Fibre Channel (or iSCSI) connection from a host computer to a controller node. However, separate connections from each host computer to each of the controller nodes in the storage system, with connections distributed evenly across all nodes, are recommended.
•
Establish direct connections from the controller nodes to the host computer or computers.

Internal Cable Connections
For storage systems housed in single cabinets, internal system Fibre Channel cabling is complete upon arrival. For multiple-cabinet configurations, the installation technician completes connections between the controller node cabinet and the drive chassis cabinet or cabinets.
NOTE: For important exceptions to the cabling rules and guidelines described in this section, see the HP 3PAR InForm OS Administrator’s Guide .

Cable Routing Options
Storage system cabinets have both upper and lower access openings available for Fibre Channel
cable routing ( Figure 24 (page 45) ). It is also possible to route network cables and main power
cords through specially designated upper and lower openings in the cabinet.
Figure 24 Bringing Cables Into the Cabinets Through Access Openings
NOTE: For GbE, iSCSI and Fibre Channel cables that connect the storage system to the customer network or hosts, approximately 7 feet (2 meters) of each cable must be reserved for internal routing within the storage system cabinet.
Service Processor Connections
The SP provides support for on-site diagnostic and maintenance activities for HP 3PAR Storage systems (hardware and software maintenance). It can also be used to provide remote monitoring and support. The SP is not a part of the evaluated Common Criteria configuration. Refer to the HP
3PAR InForm OS Common Criteria Administrator’s Reference for additional information.
