About this guide

1 Overview of LUN Manager

The XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 arrays integrate the following storage environments to provide advanced storage solutions:

• Fibre Channel: Fibre Channel is a protocol that enables fast data transfers and can be used for configuring a storage area network (SAN). To use an array as SAN storage, you should attach host servers to the array’s Fibre Channel ports.

• iSCSI: internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) is a protocol that enables data transfers between host computers and large-scale storage devices over an Internet Protocol (IP) network and is suitable for data transfers between remote locations. To use an array as IP storage, you should attach host servers to the array’s iSCSI ports.

In an iSCSI environment, the array provides mutual user authentication between hosts and ports using

Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).

NOTE:

• iSCSI environments that you create with LUN Manager support local connections (that is, hosts in the same domain can communicate with each other), but neither support inter-domain connections or external LAN connections.

• When configuring iSCSI environments, you must confirm the operating systems used to run hosts in the IP network. You can configure iSCSI networks only when each host runs on the Windows

Server 2003, Windows 2000®, or HP-UX 11i operating system. However, user authentication is not available on hosts running on HP-UX 11i.

• You can connect switching hubs to iSCSI ports, but cannot connect other network relay devices to iSCSI ports.

• NAS: NAS is a type of storage device attached to a LAN. NAS contains an embedded operating system and file system to enable file sharing by multi-platform host servers. To use an array as a

NAS storage, you should attach host servers to the array’s NAS ports.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

Figure 1 Array integrating Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and NAS environments

You can connect the array to open-system server hosts on different platforms (for example, UNIX and

PC servers). To configure a system that includes open-system hosts and an array, you must use LUN

Manager to configure logical volumes and ports.

One of the important tasks with logical volume configuration is to define I/O paths from hosts to logical volumes. If paths are defined, hosts can send commands and data to logical volumes and receive data from logical volumes.

After the system begins operating, you might need to modify the system configuration. For example, if you add hosts or disks, you must add I/O paths. Even when the system is operating, you can use LUN

Manager to modify the system configuration. You do not need to reboot the system when changing the system configuration.

NOTE:

Throughout this user guide, logical volumes are sometimes referred to as logical devices (LDEVs).

Configuring LU paths

Use LUN Manager to make various settings for logical volumes (LUs), including LU path settings. When you configure a system, you must define LU paths to let hosts transfer data to and from storage.

CAUTION:

When defining LU paths, you must not use RAID Manager XP and XP Remote Web Console at the same time.

Overview of LUN Manager

Configuring LU paths in Fibre Channel environments

After open-system hosts and the array are physically connected by cables, hubs, and so on, you must use

LUN Manager to establish I/O paths between the hosts and logical volumes. This defines which host can access which logical volume. Logical volumes that open-system hosts can access are referred to as logical

units (LUs). Paths between open-system hosts and LUs are referred to as LU paths.

Before defining LU paths, you must classify server hosts by host groups. For example, if Linux and

Windows hosts are connected to the array, you must create one host group for Linux hosts and another host group for Windows hosts. Then you must register the host bus adapters for Linux hosts in the Linux host group. You must also register the host bus adapters for Windows hosts in the Windows host group.

Host groups can contain only hosts connected to the same port, and cannot contain hosts connected to different ports. For example, if two Windows hosts are connected to port 1A and three Windows hosts are connected to port 1B, you cannot register all five Windows hosts in one host group. You must register the first two Windows hosts in one host group and register the remaining three Windows hosts in another host group.

After classifying server hosts into host groups, you must associate the host groups to logical volumes. In

Figure 2 , the hg-lnx host group is associated with three logical volumes (00:00, 00:01, and 00:02). LU

paths are defined between the two hosts in the hg-lnx host group and the three logical volumes.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

Figure 2 LU path configuration in Fibre Channel environments

Use LUN Manager to define paths between a single server host and multiple LUs. In

Figure 2

, both hosts in the hg-lnx host group can access the three LUs.

Use LUN Manager to define paths between multiple server hosts and a single LU. In

Figure 2

, the LU identified by CU-LDEV number 00:00 is accessible from both hosts belonging to the hg-lnx host group.

Figure 2

, LUs associated with the hg-lnx host group are addressed by numbers 0000 to 0002. The LU’s address number is referred to as the logical unit number (LUN). When Continuous Access XP and other optional programs manipulate LUs, the programs use LUNs to specify the LUs to be manipulated.

You can add, change, and delete LU paths when the system is operating. For example, if you add new disks or server hosts to the array, you can add new LU paths. If you replace an existing server host, you can delete LU paths corresponding to the host before replacing the host. You do not need to restart the system when you use LUN Manager to add, change, and delete LU paths.

If a hardware failure (such as a CHA failure) occurs, some LU paths might be disabled and some I/O operations might be stopped. To avoid this situation, the system administrator can define alternate LU paths. If one LU path fails, the alternate path takes over the host I/O.

For more information, see:

• Defining LU paths

• Changing or viewing LU path settings

• Defining and viewing alternate paths

Overview of LUN Manager

NOTE:

• In Fibre Channel environments, you can define up to 1,024 LU paths for one host group and up to

1,024 LU paths for one port.

• You cannot define LU paths to LUN On-Demand volumes.

• You cannot define LU paths to volumes reserved by Auto LUN XP.

• You can create up to 255 host groups for one Fibre Channel port.

• You cannot define LU paths to journal volumes.

• You cannot define LU paths to pool volumes.

Configuring LU paths in iSCSI environments

After open-system hosts and the array are physically connected by cables, hubs, and so on, you must use

units (LUs). Paths between open-system hosts and LUs are referred to as LU paths.

Before defining LU paths, you must classify server hosts by iSCSI targets. For example, if Linux and

Windows hosts are connected to the array, you must create one iSCSI target for Linux hosts and another iSCSI target for Windows hosts. Then you must register the host bus adapters for Linux hosts in the Linux iSCSI target. You must also register the host bus adapters for Windows hosts in the Windows iSCSI target.

iSCSI targets can contain only hosts connected to the same port, and cannot contain hosts connected to different ports. For example, if two Windows hosts are connected to port 1A and three Windows hosts are connected to port 1B, you cannot register all five Windows hosts in one iSCSI target. You must register the first two Windows hosts in one iSCSI target and register the remaining three Windows hosts in another iSCSI target.

After classifying server hosts into iSCSI targets, you must associate the iSCSI targets to logical volumes. In

Figure 3 , the hg-lnx iSCSI target is associated with three logical volumes (00:00, 00:01, and 00:02). LU

paths are defined between the two hosts in the hg-lnx iSCSI target and the three logical volumes.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

Use LUN Manager to define paths between multiple server hosts and a single LU. In

Figure 3

, the LU identified by CU-LDEV number 00:00 is accessible from both hosts belonging to the hg-lnx iSCSI target.

Figure 3 , LUs associated with the hg-lnx iSCSI target are addressed by numbers 0 to 2. The LU’s

address number is referred to as a logical unit number (LUN). When Continuous Access XP and other optional programs manipulate LUs, the programs use LUNs to specify the LUs to be manipulated.

For more information about LUN configuration, see

Overview of Volume Manager and Custom Volume

Size

NOTE:

• In iSCSI environments, you can define up to 1,024 LU paths for one iSCSI target and up to 1,024

LU paths for one port.

• You cannot define LU paths to LUN On-Demand volumes.

• You cannot define LU paths to volumes reserved by Auto LUN XP.

• You can create up to 64 iSCSI targets for one Fibre Channel port.

• You cannot define LU paths to journal volumes.

• You cannot define LU paths to pool volumes.

• In iSCSI environments, you cannot define LU paths to logical volumes that do not have the Read/Write access attribute.

• You cannot define LU paths to volumes on which a volume management area (VMA) is set.

Configuring LU paths in NAS environments

In Fibre Channel or iSCSI environments, you must classify hosts into host groups based on the platform. In

NAS environments, however, you do not need to classify hosts. In NAS environments, hosts attached to a

NAS port are automatically registered in a host group named User.

In NAS environments, LUs are classified into system LUs or user LUs. System LUs contain system information necessary for managing the NAS environment and can be manipulated only by HP service representatives. User LUs contain data that can be accessed by network users. When configuring NAS systems, you must define paths between hosts and user LUs.

Figure 4

gives an example of defining paths between hosts and user LUs. In NAS environments, paths are always defined between a user LU and a group of four ports. Because of this multi-path configuration, hosts can access the user LU even if one of the paths fails.

NOTE:

• In NAS environments, you can define up to 256 LU paths for one NAS port.

• In NAS environments, you cannot define LU paths to logical volumes that do not have the Read/Write or Read/Write (S-VOL Disable) access attribute.

• You cannot define LU paths to LUN On-Demand volumes.

• You cannot define LU paths to volumes reserved by Auto LUN XP.

• The LUN Manager pane displays two host groups (that is, User and NAS-Sys) below each NAS port.

When defining LU paths, you can use only User; you cannot use NAS-Sys.

• You cannot define LU paths to volumes on which a volume management area (VMA) is set.

• You cannot define LU path to journal volumes.

• You cannot define LU path to virtual volumes.

• You cannot define LU path to pool volumes.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

Figure 4 LU path configuration in NAS environments

Configuring LUN security

To protect mission-critical data in the array from illegal access, you must apply security policies to logical volumes. Use LUN Manager to enable LUN security on ports to safeguard LUs from illegal access.

NOTE:

• You cannot apply LUN security to NAS ports.

• If a port has the External attribute, you cannot apply LUN security to the port.

Overview of LUN Manager

If LUN security is enabled, host groups affect which host can access which LUs. Hosts can only access LUs associated with the host group the hosts belong to. Hosts cannot access LUs associated with other host groups. For example, hosts in the hp-ux host group cannot access LUs associated with the Windows host group. Also, hosts in the Windows host group cannot access LUs associated with the hp-ux host group.

Figure 5

, LUN security is enabled on port CL1-A. The two hosts in the hp-lnx host group can only access

LUs 00:00, 00:01, and 00:02. The two hosts in the hg-hpux host group can only access LUs 02:01 and

02:02. The two hosts in the hg-solar host group can only access LUs 01:05 and 01:06.

Figure 5 Enabling LUN security

Usually, you do not need to disable LUN security on ports. If LUN security is disabled on a port, connected hosts can only access LUs associated with host group 0, and cannot access LUs associated with any other host groups.

Figure 6 Disabling LUN security

Host group 0 is the only host group reserved for each port by default. If you use the LUN Manager pane to view a list of host groups in a port, host group 0 usually appears at the top of the list and is indicated by 00 (see

Figure 2 ).

NOTE:

By default, the name of host group 0 group 0 for port 1A is named consists of the port name, a hyphen, and 00. For example, host

1A-G00 by default. You can change the name of host group 0.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

By default, LUN security is disabled on each port. When you configure the system, you must enable LUN security on each port to which hosts are connected.

For more information, see

Using LUN security .

Configuring LUs for use by RAID Manager XP

System administrators can enter RAID Manager XP commands from open-system hosts to perform

Continuous Access XP and Business Copy XP operations on logical devices. For example, administrators can enter RAID Manager XP commands to create or split pairs. To allow administrators to use RAID

Manager XP commands, you must ensure that at least one logical device is used as a command device.

A command device receives RAID Manager XP commands entered from open-system hosts. When the administrator enters a RAID Manager XP command from an open-system host, the RAID Manager XP command is transferred via the command device to the target logical device.

To protect a logical device from RAID Manager XP commands, you must apply command device security to the logical device. If command device security is applied to a logical device, the device is not affected by RAID Manager XP commands even when commands are transferred via a command device to that device.

For more information, see

Configuring arrays for using RAID Manager XP commands .

NOTE:

You cannot use the following volumes as command devices:

• Volumes that do not have the Read/Write access attribute

• Volumes reserved by Auto LUN XP

• Continuous Access XP volumes

• Business Copy XP volumes

• External LUs

• Volumes on which a VMA is set

• Virtual volumes

Fibre Channel ports

When configuring Fibre Channel environments, you must configure the Fibre Channel topology and set addresses to the Fibre Channel ports.

You can optimize system performance by adjusting settings for the Fibre Channel ports. You can improve system performance by adjusting the data transfer speed at Fibre Channel ports and changing the channel adapter mode.

Fibre Channel topologies

The term topology indicates how devices are connected to each other. Fibre Channel provides the following topologies:

• Fabric: Uses a fabric switch to connect a large number of devices (up to 16 million) together.

Each device has the full bandwidth of 100 MB/sec.

• FC-AL (Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop): A shared interface that can connect up to 126 devices

(AL-ports) together. The 100 MB/sec bandwidth is shared among devices connected to each other.

• Point-to-point: The simplest fibre topology directly connects two devices together.

Overview of LUN Manager

Figure 7 FC-AL and Point-to-point topologies

When configuring the system, use the LUN Manager pane to specify whether the hosts and array are connected by a fabric switch.

If you use a fabric switch, you must specify FC-AL or point-to-point in the LUN Manager pane (by default,

FC-AL is specified). If you use a fabric switch, see the fabric switch’s documentation to learn whether you should use FC-AL or point-to-point. Some fabric switches require that you specify point-to-point to get the system running.

If you are not using a fabric switch, you must specify FC-AL. For more information, see

Channel topologies

Fibre Channel port addresses

When configuring the system, you must set addresses for Fibre Channel ports. When addressing Fibre

Channel ports, you can use the AL-PA (arbitrated-loop physical address) or loop ID as the address

Data transfer speed for Fibre Channel ports

As the system continues operating, you might notice that a larger amount of data is transferred at some ports, but a smaller amount is transferred at other ports. If you set a faster data transfer speed for

Overview of LUN Manager

ports where a larger amount of data is transferred, you can optimize system performance. If you set a slower data transfer speed for ports where a smaller amount of data is transferred, you can also optimize performance.

Standard, High Speed, or Initiator/External MIX mode, although all ports are in Standard mode by default. If a port satisfies certain conditions, you can apply High Speed mode to improve port performance. If a port satisfies certain conditions, you can apply Initiator/External MIX mode so that one part can be used both as an initiator port for Continuous Access XP or Continuous Access XP Journal and as an external port applied to a remote command device. For instructions on defining a remote command device, see the HP StorageWorks External Storage XP user guide.

You must apply High Speed or Initiator/External MIX mode to groups of four ports, not to individual ports. In LUN Manager terminology, each group of four ports is referred to as a port block. You can apply High Speed or Initiator/External MIX mode to each port block.

When you apply High Speed or Initiator/External MIX mode, two of the four ports in a port block must satisfy the following conditions. Also, the other two ports must satisfy the following conditions:

• The two ports have the same Fabric option (Enable or Disable).

• The two ports have FC-AL as the Connection option.

• The two ports use different port addresses and no matching addresses.

• When you apply High Speed mode, the two ports have the same port attribute (Initiator, RCU target, or Target).

• When you apply Initiator/External MIX mode, one of the two ports takes the initiator attribute and the other port takes the external attribute.

• Only one of the ports is used for connecting the host.

Figure 8

shows an example of High Speed or Initiator/External MIX mode applied to one or two port blocks when the channel adapter board has eight ports. If the channel adapter board has 16 ports, you can apply High Speed or Initiator/External MIX mode in the same way, even though there are four port blocks.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

Figure 8 Ports in High Speed or Initiator/External MIX mode

If High Speed mode is applied to the four ports in a port block, only two of the ports can be used for connecting the host. These two ports can exclusively use channel processors and fibre optic processors

(FOPs) that would otherwise be reserved for the other two ports. Therefore, system performance improves.

By balancing workloads on processors, you can expect a greater improvement in system performance.

You cannot change Standard mode to High Speed mode or vice versa while you are online to the hosts.

You must reboot the hosts after changing the mode.

To change the configuration of a port being used, you must perform a backup operation before changing the port configuration.

Port names can differ, depending on whether ports are in Standard, High Speed, or Initiator/External

MIX mode. For more information about port names, see

, and

For more information, see

Switching between Standard, High Speed, and Initiator/External MIX mode .

Overview of LUN Manager

NOTE:

• Sometimes Standard, High Speed, and Initiator/External MIX modes are collectively referred to as

Fibre PCB modes

PCB is an acronym for printed circuit board

. The array documentation sometimes uses the term PCB when referring to a channel adapter, which is a printed circuit board used for connecting hosts and an array.

• Storage partition administrators cannot apply High Speed or Initiator/External MIX mode.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

iSCSI port and iSNS server settings

You must make settings on iSCSI ports (and iSNS servers, if necessary) when configuring iSCSI environments. Use LUN Manager to specify the following items when configuring iSCSI environments. For instructions, see

Defining LU paths

and

Making settings on iSCSI ports and iSNS servers .

• IP address: You must specify the iSCSI port’s IP address when configuring iSCSI environments.

In LUN Manager, the initial value of the iSCSI port’s IP address is 192.168.0.xxx, where xxx is the iSCSI port’s location.

• Subnet mask: You must specify a subnet mask when configuring iSCSI environments. A subnet mask is a value used for obtaining a network address from an IP address. In LUN Manager, the subnet mask’s initial value is 255.255.255.0.

• Gateway address: If a gateway is used, specify the gateway address. A gateway is hardware connecting networks with different protocols.

• iSCSI name: You must assign iSCSI names to iSCSI ports when configuring iSCSI environments.

iSCSI names are used to uniquely identify each iSCSI node. iSCSI nodes are devices that use the iSCSI protocol for communication (for example, iSCSI ports in arrays, host bus adapters in host servers, and switching hubs for network relaying).

iSCSI names must be specified in either of the following formats:

• eui format:

An IEEE 64-bit Extended Unique Identifier used to specify an iSCSI name. The iSCSI name begins with eui. and is followed by the ID found by the vendor in EUI-64 format similar to the

World Wide Name.

Example: eui.02004567A425678D

• iqn format:

The iSCSI Qualified Name format used to specify an iSCSI name. For more information about specifying iSCSI names using this format, see the iSCSI-related documentation.

If a host is connected to an iSCSI port, LUN Manager automatically displays the iSCSI name in iqn format. iSCSI names can include 0 (zero) to 9, and a to f (letters are case-insensitive).

Example: iqn.2006.01.com.hp:iscsi-r500:model-xxx:sn-xxxxxx:lun00

The length of an iSCSI name must be 20 characters in eui format, and up to 223 characters in iqn format. iSCSI names can include letters, numbers, periods (.), hyphens (-), and colons (:); but cannot include double-byte characters. iSCSI names are case-insensitive.

• iSCSI alias: An iSCSI alias is a nickname you assign to an iSCSI name. Assigning iSCSI aliases is optional, but helpful, when managing and identifying iSCSI targets.

It is difficult to identify iSCSI targets by iSCSI names because an iSCSI name consists of numerous characters and is hard to remember. If you assign an iSCSI alias that is brief and easy to remember, you can easily and quickly identify iSCSI targets.

The length of an iSCSI alias must be up to 32 characters. iSCSI aliases can include letters, numbers, periods (.), hyphens (-), and colons (:); but cannot include double-byte characters. iSCSI aliases are case-sensitive; for example, MyPort and myport are different iSCSI aliases.

• Port number: You must assign part numbers to iSCSI ports when configuring iSCSI environments.

Use LUN Manager to specify a decimal port number within the range of 1 to 65535. A port number’s initial value is 3260.

• Keep-alive timer: You must specify the Keep-alive timer when configuring iSCSI environments. The

Keep-alive timer is used when there is a connection between an iSCSI port and another iSCSI node. For example, if the keep-alive timer is set to 60 seconds, the array checks whether packet communications occurred between an iSCSI port and another iSCSI node (such as a host bus adapter or switching hub) every 60 seconds.

Use LUN Manager to specify a value within the range of 0 to 64,800 seconds. The Keep-alive timer’s initial value is 60 seconds.

Overview of LUN Manager

• Whether to register iSCSI ports in iSNS servers: The iSNS server is a server computer on which an iSNS service is installed. iSNS is an acronym for Internet Storage Name Service. This server manages IP addresses and iSCSI names of iSCSI ports. Using iSNS servers is optional. If you configure and use iSNS servers, iSCSI ports are easily discovered and managed.

NOTE:

For more information about configuring iSNS servers, see the iSNS-related documentation.

• iSNS server’s IP address: To use an iSNS server, you must specify the iSNS server’s IP address.

• iSNS server’s TCP port number: To use an iSNS server, you must specify the iSNS server’s TCP port number.

NOTE:

Specify 3205 as the TCP port number if you use

Microsoft® iSNS Server as the iSNS server. If you specify other than 3205, you cannot register iSCSI ports in the iSNS server.

Status of connections between hosts and the array

Use LUN Manager to issue a ping command from an array iSCSI port to a host. The ping command checks whether the host and array can communicate with each other. If the host responds to the ping command, the host and array can communicate with each other. For more information, see

Checking the status of the connection between hosts and the array (iSCSI environments only)

User authentication (Fibre Channel environments)

When configuring Fibre Channel environments, you can use LUN Manager to set user authentication between the array’s ports and hosts. In Fibre Channel environments, ports and hosts use Null

DH-CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol with a Null Diffie-Hellmann algorithm) as the authentication method. This section provides an overview of user authentication.

NOTE:

Throughout this user guide, Null DH-CHAP is sometimes referred to as CHAP.

User authentication operations and settings

User authentication operations in Fibre Channel environments contain the following phases:

A host group of the array authenticates a host attempting to connect (authentication of hosts).

The host authenticates the connection-target host group of the array (authentication of host groups).

CAUTION:

Because host bus adapters currently do not support this function, this authentication phase is not used in Fibre Channel environments.

A target port of the array authenticates a Fibre Channel switch attempting to connect (authentication

of Fibre Channel switches).

The array performs user authentication by host groups. Therefore, host groups and hosts must have their own user information for performing user authentication.

When a host attempts to connect to the array, the authentication of hosts phase starts. In this phase, it is determined whether the host group requires authentication of the host. If the host group does not require authentication of the host, the host connects to the array without authentication. If the host group

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

requires authentication of the host, authentication is performed for the host. When the host is successfully authenticated, processing goes to the next phase.

After authentication of the host succeeds, if the host requires user authentication for the host group that is connection target, the authentication of host groups phase starts. In this way, host groups and hosts authenticate with each other, that is, mutual authentication. In the authentication of host groups phase. if the host does not require user authentication for the host group, the host connects to the array without authentication of the host group.

The following explains the settings required for user authentication. The settings for authentication of host groups are needed only when performing mutual authentication.

• Settings for authentication of hosts

• On the array:

Use LUN Manager to specify whether authentication of hosts on each host group is performed.

On a host group that performs authentication, register user information (group name, user name, and secret) of hosts allowed to connect to the host group. A secret is a password used in CHAP authentication. When registering user information, you can also enable or disable authentication on a host basis. For more information, see

Enabling and disabling authentication of hosts in host groups

and

Registering a host's user information on a host group

• On hosts:

Configure the operating system and Fibre Channel host bus adapter driver for authentication by host groups with CHAP. You must specify the host’s user name and secret used for CHAP. For more information, see the documentation for the operating system and Fibre Channel host bus adapter driver in your environment.

• Settings for authentication of ports (required if performing mutual authentication)

• On the array:

Use LUN Manager to specify each host group’s user information (user name and secret). For more information, see

Specifying a host group's user information (when performing mutual authentication) .

• On hosts:

Configure the operating system and Fibre Channel host bus adapter driver for authenticating host groups with CHAP. You must specify the user name and secret of the host group that is the connection target. For more information, see the documentation for the operating system and Fibre

Channel host bus adapter driver in your environment.

The next section explains authentication of hosts and host groups.

Authentication of hosts (Fibre Channel environments)

When a host attempts to connect to the array, the connection results of the authentication of the host differs depending on the host group settings.

Figure 9

illustrates the relationship between host group settings and the connection results.

Overview of LUN Manager

Figure 9 Authentication of hosts (Fibre Channel environments)

Case A to Case D in

Figure 9

is explained as follows:

• Case A through Case C: When performing authentication of host groups

• Case A: If the host’s user information is registered on the host group, and authentication of the host is enabled

The host group authenticates the user information sent from the host. If authentication of the host succeeds, either of the following actions occur:

• When the host is configured for mutual authentication, processing goes to authentication of the host group.

• When the host is not configured for mutual authentication, the host connects to the array.

If the host is not configured for authentication by host groups with CHAP, the authentication fails and the host cannot connect to the array.

• Case B: If the host’s user information is registered on the host group, but authentication of the host is disabled

The host group does not perform authentication of the host. The host connects to the array without authentication regardless of whether or not the host is configured for authentication by host groups with CHAP.

• Case C: If the host’s user information is not registered on the host group

Regardless of the setting on the host, the host group performs authentication of the host, but results in failure. The host cannot connect to the array.

• Case D: When connecting via a host group that does not perform authentication of hosts

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

The host connects to the array without authentication of the host regardless of whether or not the host is configured for authentication by host groups with CHAP.

In this case, although you do not need to register the host’s user information on the host group, you can register the user information.

NOTE:

You should register the user information for all hosts to be connected to a host group that performs authentication of hosts. To allow a specific host to connect to such a host group without authentication, configure the host group and the host as follows:

• On the host group:

Register the user information of the host you want to allow to connect without authentication, and then disable the host authentication setting.

Figure 10

shows an example of authentication of hosts. In this figure, WWNs of host bus adapters (HBAs) are abbreviated as a, b, and so on.

Figure 10 Example of authentication of hosts (Fibre Channel environments)

Figure 10 , host group 1 performs authentication of hosts, but host group 2 does not.

Host A’s user information is registered on host group 1, and the authentication setting is enabled.

Therefore, if the authentication of the host succeeds, Host A can connect to the array (or processing goes to the authentication of the host group). As a precondition of successful authentication, configure

Host A for authentication by host groups with CHAP.

Overview of LUN Manager

Host B’s user information is also registered on host group 1, but the authentication setting is disabled.

Therefore, Host B can connect to the array without authentication.

Host C’s user information is not registered on host group 1. Therefore, when Host C tries to connect to the array, authentication fails and the connection request is denied regardless of Host C’s setting.

Host D is attached to host group 2, which does not perform authentication of hosts. Therefore, Host D can connect to the array without authentication.

Authentication of Fibre Channel switches

When a host attempts to connect to the array, the connection results of the authentication of the Fibre

Channel switch differs depending on the Fibre Channel switch setting related to each port.

Figure 11

illustrates the relationship between Fibre Channel switch settings and the connection results. The Fibre

Channel switch authentication setting is independent from the host authentication setting.

Figure 11 Authentication of Fibre Channel switches

Case A to Case D in

Figure 11

are explained as follows:

• Case A through Case C: When performing authentication of Fibre Channel switches by ports

• Case A: If the Fibre Channel switch’s user information is registered on the port, and authentication of the Fibre Channel switch is enabled

Each port authenticates the Fibre Channel switch. If the authentication of the Fibre Channel switch succeeds, either of the following actions occur:

• When the Fibre Channel switch is configured for mutual authentication, processing goes to authentication of the port.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

• When the Fibre Channel switch is not configured for mutual authentication, the Fibre

Channel switch connects to the array.

If the port’s Fibre Channel switch is not configured for authentication with CHAP, the authentication fails and the Fibre Channel switch cannot connect to the array.

• Case B: If the Fibre Channel switch’s user information is registered on the port, but authentication of the Fibre Channel switch is disabled

Each port does not perform authentication of the Fibre Channel switch. The Fibre Channel switch connects to the array without authentication regardless of whether or not the Fibre Channel switch is configured for authentication with CHAP.

• Case C: If the Fibre Channel switch’s user information is not registered on the port

Regardless of the Fibre Channel switch’s setting, the port performs authentication of the Fibre

Channel switch, but results in failure. The Fibre Channel switch cannot connect to the array.

•

Case D: When not performing authentication of Fibre Channel switches by ports

The Fibre Channel switch connects to the array without authentication of the host regardless of whether or not the Fibre Channel switch is configured for authentication with CHAP.

In this case, although you do not need to register the Fibre Channel switch’s user information on the port, you can register the user information.

Authentication of ports (performing mutual authentication)

When authentication of a host succeeds, the host performs authentication of the port in reverse if the host requires (mutual authentication). In authentication of ports, when the user information (user name and secret) of the port specified on the port side matches the user information stored on the host, the host allows the host group to connect.

User authentication (iSCSI environments)

When configuring iSCSI environments, use LUN Manager to set user authentication between ports on the array and hosts. In iSCSI environments, ports and hosts use Challenge Handshake Authentication

Protocol (CHAP) as the authentication method. This section provides an overview of user authentication.

User authentication operations and settings (iSCSI environments)

User authentication operations in iSCSI environments consist of the following phases:

An iSCSI target of the array authenticates a host attempting to connect (authentication of hosts).

The host authenticates the connection-target iSCSI target of the array (authentication of iSCSI targets).

The array performs user authentication by iSCSI targets. Therefore, iSCSI targets and hosts must have their own user information for performing user authentication.

When a host attempts to connect to the array, the authentication of hosts phase starts. In this phase, it is first determined whether or not the iSCSI target requires authentication of the host. If the iSCSI target does not require authentication of the host, the host connects to the array without authentication. If the iSCSI target requires authentication of the host, authentication is performed for the host. When the host is successfully authenticated, processing goes to the next phase.

After authentication of the host succeeds, if the host requires user authentication for the iSCSI target that is the connection target, the authentication of iSCSI targets phase starts. In this way, iSCSI targets and hosts authenticate with each other, that is, mutual authentication. In the authentication of iSCSI targets phase, if the host does not require user authentication for the iSCSI target, the host connects to the array without authentication of the iSCSI target.

The following explains the settings required for user authentication. The settings for authentication of iSCSI targets are needed only when performing mutual authentication.

Overview of LUN Manager

• Settings for authentication of hosts

• On the array:

Use LUN Manager to specify whether authentication of hosts is performed on each iSCSI target.

On an iSCSI target that performs authentication, register user information (iSCSI name, user name, and secret) of hosts allowed to connect to the iSCSI target. A secret is a password used in CHAP authentication. When registering user information, you can also enable or disable authentication on a host basis. For more information about the settings, see

Enabling and disabling authentication of hosts on iSCSI targets

and

Registering a host's user information on an iSCSI target

• On hosts:

Configure the operating system and iSCSI driver for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.

You must specify the host’s user name and secret used for CHAP. For more information, see the documentation for the operating system and iSCSI driver in your environment.

• Settings for authentication of ports (required if performing mutual authentication)

• On the array:

Use LUN Manager to specify each iSCSI target’s user information (user name and secret). For more information about the settings, see

Specifying an iSCSI target's user information (when performing mutual authentication)

• On hosts:

Configure the operating system and iSCSI driver for authenticating iSCSI targets with CHAP. You must specify the user name and secret of the iSCSI target that is the connection target. For more information, see the documentation for the operating system and iSCSI driver in your environment.

The next section explains authentication of hosts and iSCSI targets.

Authentication of hosts (iSCSI environments)

When a host attempts to connect to the array, the connection results of the authentication of the host differ depending on the iSCSI target settings.

Figure 12

illustrates the relationship between iSCSI target settings and the connection results.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

Figure 12 Authentication of hosts (iSCSI environments)

Case A to Case D in

Figure 12

are explained as follows:

• Case A through Case C: When connecting via an iSCSI target that performs authentication of hosts

• Case A: If the host’s user information is registered on the iSCSI target, and authentication of the host is enabled

The iSCSI target authenticates the user information sent from the host. If authentication of the host succeeds, either of the following actions occur:

• When the host is configured for mutual authentication, processing goes to authentication of the iSCSI target.

• When the host is not configured for mutual authentication, the host connects to the array.

If the host is not configured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP, the authentication fails and the host cannot connect to the array.

• Case B: If the host’s user information is registered on the iSCSI target, but authentication of the host is disabled

The iSCSI target does not perform authentication of the host. The host connects to the array without authentication regardless of whether or not the host is configured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.

CAUTION:

If a host uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator and is configured for authentication by iSCSI targets with

CHAP, authentication of the host fails. To allow such a host to connect to the iSCSI target without authentication, do not configure it for authentication by ports with CHAP.

• Case C: If the host’s user information is not registered on the iSCSI target

Overview of LUN Manager

Regardless of the setting on the host, the iSCSI target performs authentication of the host, but results in a failure. The host cannot connect to the array.

• Case D: When connecting via an iSCSI target that does not perform authentication of hosts

The host connects to the array without authentication of the host regardless of whether or not the host is configured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.

In this case, although you do not need to register the host’s user information on the iSCSI target, you can register the user information.

CAUTION:

If a host uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator and is configured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP, authentication of the host fails. To allow such a host to connect to the port without authentication, do not configure it for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.

NOTE:

You should register the user information for all hosts to be connected to an iSCSI target that performs authentication of hosts. To allow a specific host to connect to such an iSCSI target without authentication, configure the iSCSI target and the host as follows:

• On the iSCSI target:

Register the user information of the host you want to allow to connect without authentication, and then disable the host’s authentication setting.

• On the host:

It does not matter if you configure the host for authentication by ports with CHAP.

However, if the host uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, do not configure the host for authentication by ports with CHAP.

Figure 13

shows an example of authentication of hosts. In this figure, iSCSI names of host bus adapters

(HBAs) are abbreviated as a, b, and so on.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

Figure 13 Example of authentication of hosts (iSCSI environments)

Figure 13 , iSCSI target 1 performs authentication of hosts, but iSCSI target 2 does not.

Host A’s user information is registered on iSCSI target 1, and the authentication setting is enabled.

Therefore, if authentication of the host succeeds, Host A can connect to the array (or processing goes to the authentication of the iSCSI target). As a precondition of successful authentication, configure Host A for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.

Host B’s user information is also registered on iSCSI target 1, but the authentication setting is disabled.

Therefore, Host B can connect to the array without authentication. (If Host B uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator,

Host B can connect to the array only when Host B is not configured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.)

Host C’s user information is not registered on iSCSI target 1. Therefore, when Host C tries to connect to the array, authentication fails and the connection request is denied regardless of Host C’s setting.

Host D is attached to iSCSI target 2, which does not perform authentication of hosts. Therefore, Host D can connect to the array without authentication. In this case, it does not matter whether Host D’s user information is registered on iSCSI target 2. (If Host D uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, Host D can connect to the array only when Host D is not configured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP.)

For more information, see:

• Enabling and disabling authentication of hosts on iSCSI targets

• Settings and connection results in authentication of hosts (iSCSI environments) .

Overview of LUN Manager

For more information about configuring hosts, see the documentation for the operating system and iSCSI driver in your environment.

Authentication of iSCSI targets (performing mutual authentication)

When authentication of a host succeeds, the host performs authentication of the iSCSI target in reverse if the host requires (mutual authentication). In authentication of iSCSI targets, when the user information

(user name and secret) of the iSCSI target specified on the iSCSI target side matches the user information stored on the host, the host allows the iSCSI target to connect.

For more information about iSCSI target settings to perform authentication of iSCSI targets, see

Specifying an iSCSI target's user information (when performing mutual authentication)

. For more information about configuring hosts, see the documentation for the operating system and iSCSI driver in your environment.

NAS channel adapters

You can use LUN Manager to check the running status of the OSs on NAS channel adapters. Also, when a failure occurs in the OS, you can operate (restart, stop, or start) the OS using LUN Manager without going to the array’s cabinet. For instructions on checking the OS status on NAS channel adapters and operating the OSs, see

Creating host groups

NOTE:

If you are configuring a NAS environment, you do not need to follow the procedures described in this section. For instructions on defining LU paths in NAS environments, see

Associating host groups or iSCSI targets to logical volumes .

Creating host groups (when configuring Fibre Channel environments)

You can connect multiple server hosts of different platforms to one port on the array. When configuring the system, you must group server hosts connected to the array by host groups. For example, if HP-UX and

Windows hosts are connected to a port, you must create one host group for HP-UX hosts and another host group for Windows hosts. Next, you must register HP-UX hosts to the corresponding host group and register Windows hosts to the other host group.

The following procedure describes how to create host groups. The procedure for registering hosts to a host group is described in

Registering hosts in host groups .

Start LUN Manager. The LUN Manager pane (

Overview of Volume Manager and Custom Volume Size

Right-click the port for which you want to create a host group, and select Add New Host Group. The

Add New Host Group pane appears.

NOTE:

If you right-click an initiator port, you cannot select Add New Host Group. You cannot create host groups for initiator ports.

Figure 35 Add New Host Group pane

In the Group Name box, enter the host group name.

It is convenient if you name each host group after the host platform. For example, when creating a host group to register Windows NT® hosts in, the host group name can be wnt.

A host group name can consist of up to 32 ASCII characters (letters, numerals, and symbols).

However, you cannot use the following symbols for host group names:

\ / : , ; * ? " < > |

You cannot use spaces for the first and last characters in host group names.

Host group names are case-sensitive. For example, host group names wnt and Wnt represent different host groups.

In the Host Mode list, select a host mode. When selecting a host mode, you must consider the platform and other factors (see

Table 16 ).

If the host group’s host mode is 0C Windows and an LU path is defined between the host group and a logical volume, you cannot combine the logical volume with other logical volumes to form a LUSE volume (that is, an expanded LU). For more information about

LUSE, see

If you are using any VERITAS products: I/O fencing function of VERITAS Cluster Server 4.0, VERITAS DataBase Edition/Active

Cluster, VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC, you must select this host mode. When selecting a host mode, you must consider the platform and some other factors.

NOTE:

If you register Windows server hosts in a host group, you need to ensure that the host mode of the host group is 0C: Windows, 2C: Windows Extension or 6C: Windows Extension 2. If you are thinking about creating LUSE volumes (i.e., expanded LUs), you should consider setting the host mode 2C: Windows

Extension or 6C: Windows Extension 2 to the host group. If the host mode of a host group is 2C:

Windows Extension or 6C: Windows Extension 2 and an LU path is defined, you can create a LUSE volume (i.e., an expanded LU). If the host mode of a host group is 0C: Windows and an LU path is defined between the host group and a logical volume, you cannot combine the logical volume with other logical volumes to form a LUSE volume (i.e., an expanded LU).

Creating iSCSI targets (when configuring iSCSI environments)

You can connect multiple server hosts on different platforms to one port on the array. When configuring the system, you must group server hosts connected to the array by iSCSI targets. For example, if HP-UX and Windows hosts are connected to a port, you must create one iSCSI target for HP-UX hosts and another iSCSI target for Windows hosts. Next, you must register HP-UX hosts to the corresponding iSCSI target and register Windows hosts to the other iSCSI target.

The following procedure describes how to create iSCSI targets. The procedure for registering hosts to an iSCSI target is described in

Registering hosts in host groups .

Start LUN Manager. The LUN Manager pane (

Associating host groups or iSCSI targets to logical volumes .

) appears.

Right-click the port for which you want to create an iSCSI target, and select Add New iSCSI Target.

The Add New iSCSI Target pane appears.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

Figure 37 Add New iSCSI Target pane

In the Target name box, enter the iSCSI target name.

In the Target name box, the initial value in iqn format appears as a default value. iSCSI target names must be specified in either of the following formats:

• eui format:

An IEEE 64-bit Extended Unique Identifier used to specify an iSCSI name. The iSCSI name begins with eui. and is followed by the ID found by the vendor in EUI-64 format similar to the

World Wide Name.

Example: eui.02004567A425678D

• iqn format:

The iSCSI Qualified Name format used to specify an iSCSI name. For more information about specifying iSCSI names using this format, see the iSCSI-related documentation.

If a host is connected to an iSCSI port, LUN Manager automatically displays the iSCSI name in

iqn format. iSCSI names can include 0 (zero) to 9, and a to f (letters are case-insensitive).

Example: iqn.2006.01.com.hp:iscsi-r500:model-xxx:sn-xxxxxx:lun00

In the Target alias box, enter the iSCSI target’s alias.

iSCSI target aliases can include letters, numbers, periods (.), hyphens (-), and colons (:); but cannot include double-byte characters. iSCSI target aliases are case-sensitive. An iSCSI target alias can consist of up to 32 characters

In the Host Mode list, select a host mode. When selecting a host mode, you must consider the platform and other factors (for more information, see

Table 16 ).

CAUTION:

Do not select Reserve from the list. Reserve indicates that the host mode is not currently supported.

If necessary, click Option, and select host mode options. For more information about host mode options, see

Registering hosts in host groups

NOTE:

If you are configuring a NAS environment, you do not need to follow the procedures described in this section. For instructions, see

To set LU paths, you must register hosts in host groups. For example, if HP-UX and Windows hosts are connected to a port, you must register the HP-UX and Windows hosts separately in two different host groups.

If you are configuring a Fibre Channel environment, follow the instructions in

Registering hosts in host groups (when configuring Fibre Channel environments)

. If you are configuring an iSCSI environment, follow the instructions in

Registering hosts in iSCSI targets (when configuring iSCSI environments)

Registering hosts in host groups (when configuring Fibre Channel environments)

When registering a host, you must specify the host bus adapter’s WWN. If you are unsure of the host bus adapter’s WWN, see

Finding an open-system host's World Wide Name (WWN) .

When registering a host, you can assign a nickname to the host bus adapter. If you assign a nickname, you can easily identify each host bus adapter in the LUN Manager pane. Although WWNs are also used to identify host bus adapters, the nickname you assign is more helpful because you can name host bus adapters after the host installation site or the host owners.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

NOTE:

• A nickname can consist of up to 32 ASCII characters (letters, numerals, and symbols). However, you cannot use the following characters for nicknames:

\ / : , ; * ? " < > |

• You cannot use spaces for the first or last character in nicknames.

• Nicknames are case-sensitive. For example, hp and HP are different nicknames.

Start LUN Manager. The LUN Manager pane (

Registering hosts in iSCSI targets (when configuring iSCSI environments)

When registering a host, you must specify the host bus adapter’s iSCSI name.

When registering a host, you can assign a nickname for the host bus adapter. If you assign a nickname, you can easily identify each host bus adapter in the LUN Manager pane. Although iSCSI names are also used to identify each host bus adapter, the nickname you assign is more helpful because you can name host bus adapters after the host installation site or host owners.

NOTE:

• A nickname can consist of up to 32 ASCII characters (letters, numerals, and symbols). However, you cannot use the following characters for nicknames:

a. In the iSCSI name table, select the port to which the host is connected from the Port list.

b. In the iSCSI name list, select the host bus adapter. From the tree, select an iSCSI target, and click Add iSCSI name.

Figure 41 Add New iSCSI name pane (registering a host that was previously connected to the array)

• In this list, only iSCSI names of hosts that issued login commands to ports appear.

Regardless of the sessions (Discovery or Normal) or results (Accept or Reject), up to

64 iSCSI names of hosts that recently issued login commands to each port appear.

However, if a host issues more than one instance of the login command to the same port, the host’s iSCSI name appears only once in the list.

To register iSCSI names using this list and register multiple hosts collectively to one port, you must register the iSCSI names to the port before the iSCSI names are deleted from this list. If the iSCSI names are deleted and you want to redisplay the iSCSI names in this list, you must reissue the login command from the hosts. In this case, you should operate the hosts that need to log in, and should not add unnecessary iSCSI names to this list.

• If you are using Windows, you can drag the host bus adapter from the iSCSI name table to the iSCSI target in the tree. To drag two or more host bus adapters, see the HP StorageWorks Command View XP user guide for XP Disk Arrays or the

Configuring arrays for using RAID Manager XP commands

The system administrator can enter RAID Manager XP commands from open-system hosts to perform

Continuous Access XP and Business Copy XP operations on logical devices. For example, use RAID

Manager XP commands to create and split pairs. To enable the system administrator to enter RAID

Manager XP commands from open-system hosts, you must specify at least one logical device as the command device. If desired, you must also apply command device security to other logical devices in the array.

NOTE:

If an array is divided into SLPRs and you want to prevent RAID Manager XP commands from affecting multiple SLPRs, you must apply command device security to the logical volumes.

Specifying logical devices as command devices

To enable the system administrator to execute RAID Manager XP commands from an open-system host, you must select at least one logical device that will not be manipulated by Continuous Access XP or

Business Copy XP, and then specify the devices as the command devices. When a RAID Manager XP command is issued from a host, the command device receives the command. The command device transfers the command to another logical device. Then, the command performs a Continuous Access XP or Business Copy XP operation on that logical device.

Start LUN Manager. The LUN Manager pane ( Figure 14

Defining remote command devices

A remote command device is a device in the array to which a command device in the external array is mapped.

As you send RAID Manager XP commands to the remote command device, these RAID Manager XP commands are sent to the external array’s command device to perform RAID Manager XP operations on the external array.

You can map a command device as a remote command device when one of the following arrays is connected as an external array:

• XP12000 Disk Array

• XP10000 Disk Array

• HP 200 Storage Virtualization System

• XP1024/XP128 Disk Array

• TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform subsystem

• TagmaStore Network Storage Controller subsystem

• TagmaStore Adaptable Modular Storage subsystem

Troubleshooting LUN Manager

6 Finding an open-system host’s

World Wide Name (WWN)

If you are configuring a Fibre Channel environment, you must verify that the fibre adapters and Fibre

Channel device drivers are installed on the open-system hosts. Next, you must find the World Wide

Name (WWN) of the host bus adapter used in each open-system host. The WWN is a unique identifier for a host bus adapter in a open-system host, consisting of 16 hexadecimal digits.

This chapter describes how to find a host’s WWN. HP recommends that you make a record of WWNs of the hosts in your system, because you will need to enter WWNs in LUN Manager panes to specify the hosts used in your system.

Finding WWNs in Windows NT or Windows 2000 environments

HP currently supports the Emulex Fibre Channel adapter in Windows NT or Windows 2000 environments, and will support other adapters in the future. For more information about Fibre Channel adapter support, or if you are using a Fibre Channel adapter other than Emulex, contact you HP account support representative for instructions on finding the WWN.

NOTE:

Although these instructions are written for a Windows NT environment, similar instructions apply in a

Windows 2000 environment.

Verify that the fibre adapters and the Fibre Channel device drivers are installed.

Go to the LightPulse™ Utility to open the LightPulse Utility/NT pane.

7 Overview of Volume Manager and Custom Volume Size

Volume Manager and Custom Volume Size (CVS) are functions for open systems and mainframe systems.

To use these functions, you need the software called HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security

Manager XP.

This chapter describes Volume Manager and CVS.

Overview of Volume Manager

This section describes the Volume Manager function and configuration of LUSE volumes (expanded LUs).

Volume Manager operations include the following:

• Viewing concatenated parity groups

• Creating LUSE volumes

• Releasing LUSE volumes

• Changing LUSE capacities

Volume Manager function

The Volume Manager function is applied to open-system logical volumes and enables you to configure one large logical volume by combining several small LDEVs. The Volume Manager function allows hosts that can only use a limited number of logical units (LUs) per fibre interface to access larger amounts of data using expanded LUs.

Figure 76

shows the LUSE configuration. By using the Volume Manager function, you can combine several logical devices (LDEVs) or volumes into one large logical volume. The configured LDEV’s size can be expanded up to 36 times the size of the original LDEV. The ID of the logical volume defined as the large logical volume is represented by the smallest LDEV ID (assigned to the top LDEV). The host recognizes the expanded logical volume as one representative LDEV. As long as the number of LDEVs combined into one large logical volume does not exceed the specified limit (see

Volume Manager guidelines

), you can arbitrarily select any LDEVs as the volumes to combine, regardless of their size (or capacity) or whether or not they are on the same Control Unit (CU). The Volume Manager function also allows you to combine several LDEVs and a LUSE volume (combined LDEVs) into one LUSE volume, or combine LUSE volumes together into one LUSE volume.

Before the host can access each LDEV composing an expanded LU (LUSE volume), you must release the expanded LU.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

139

Figure 76 LUSE configuration

If you want to create an open-systems volume (LU) larger than 2 TB, you must use LUSE to combine open-systems volumes so that a LUSE volume larger than 2 TB is created. Whether hosts can access a volume larger than 2 TB depends on the operating system of the hosts and the host mode option of LUN

Manager. For detailed information, please refer to the HP StorageWorks LUN Manager User’s Guide.

Volume Manager guidelines

The following are the specifications and restrictions on LDEVs used to configure a LUSE volume:

• Open volumes (OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, OPEN-E, OPEN-L, and OPEN-V) are supported.

• The number of LDEVs combined into a LUSE volume must be within the range of 2 to 36.

NOTE:

The number of expanded LUs (LDEVs) should not exceed 36, even if the LUSE volume contains another LUSE volume.

• The emulation type of LDEVs combined into a LUSE volume must be the same.

• The RAID level of LDEVs that are to be combined into LUSE volumes should be the same.

(Recommended).

NOTE:

Combining RAID-1 and RAID-5 volumes into the same LUSE volume is supported, but not recommended.

• LDEVs or LUSE volumes to be combined must not have assigned path definitions. For this reason,

TrueCopy for z/OS®, Continuous Access XP, ShadowImage for z/OS, Business Copy XP, and

Continuous Access XP Journal pair volumes cannot be targets of Volume Manager operations

(see

Volume Manager operations using a path-defined LDEV ).

• LDEVs to be combined into LUSE volumes must not be reserved for Auto LUN XP.

• When combining a LUSE volume with another LUSE volume, the range of LDEVs should not overlap.

140

Overview of Volume Manager and Custom Volume Size

NOTE:

If you combine LDEV00, LDEV03, and LDEV05 into LUSE 1, combine LDEV02 and LDEV04 into

LUSE 2,and combine LDEV06 and LDEV07 into LUSE 3, you can also combine LUSE 1 and LUSE 3.

However, you cannot combine LUSE 1 and LUSE 2, because the LDEV range in LUSE 1 and LUSE 2 overlap.

• The maximum capacity of a LUSE volume is 60 TB.

NOTE:

When a host accesses a LUSE volume, the host can only access less than 2 TB of the LUSE volume’s address area.

NOTE:

Any LUSE volume contains up to 4 MB of disk area to be used for controlling the volume, and this disk area cannot contain user data. Therefore, the maximum capacity for user data in a LUSE volume is slightly less than 60 TB.

• Combining command devices and Just In Time volumes into a LUSE volume is not supported.

• The access attribute must be set to Read/Write.

• Combining internal LUs, external LUs, and virtual volumes (V-VOLs) is not supported.

• During online, the host mode must not be 0x0C [Windows].

• The I/O suppression mode and cache mode settings of LDEVs combined into a LUSE volume must be the same.

• All LDEVs combined into a LUSE volume must be of the same drive type (However, SATA drives and BD drives can be intermixed).

• VMAs are not set to LDEVs.

• LDEVs are not pool volumes (pool-VOLs).

• LDEVs are not journal volumes.

The following are the specifications and restrictions on LDEVs released from a LUSE volume:

• The LUSE volume must not have a defined path.

• The access attribute must be set to Read/Write.

Volume Manager operations using a path-defined LDEV

When you create a LUSE volume, the top LUSE volume can be either an LDEV or LUSE volume that has one or more paths defined to it. Only the top volume in the LUSE volume to be created can have any paths. Other volumes in the LUSE volume to be created must not have any paths.

NOTE:

You can perform a Volume Manager operation using a path-defined LDEV regardless of how many paths are defined to the LDEV.

NOTE:

You cannot combine a path-defined LDEV or LUSE volume with another path-defined LDEV or LUSE volume.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

141

NOTE:

When you start the Volume Manager operation to combine a path-defined LDEV or LUSE volume with another path-defined LDEV or LUSE volume, a confirmation pane appears. Click OK if you want to continue or Cancel if you do not.

CAUTION:

Note the following points when you perform a Volume Manager operation using a path-defined LDEV:

• If a path is defined from a Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, or AIX 5.2 host to an LDEV, you can use the LDEV for Volume Manager operations using a path-defined LDEV. However, if a path is defined from a host running another operating system to an LDEV, you cannot use the LDEV for

Volume Manager operations using a path-defined LDEV.

• If a path is defined from a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 host to an LDEV and you want to perform a Volume Manager operation that handles this path-defined LDEV, ensure that the

Windows host’s host mode is 2C (Windows Extension). If the host mode is not 2C, change the host mode to 2C before performing the Volume Manager operation.

Overview of Custom Volume Size

This section describes the Custom Volume Size (CVS) function, configuring CVS, and requirements of the storage subsystem ID (SSID). CVS operations include:

• Viewing concatenated parity groups

• Converting logical volumes to space

• Creating CVS volumes (Install CV operation)

• Deleting CVS volumes

• Converting CVs back to FVs (Volume Initialize operation)

• Re-creating CVs after initializing the VDEV (Make Volume operation)

CVS function

CVS works on each VDEV that consists of a group of logical volumes (LDEVs or LUs) in a parity group.

Usually, one VDEV consists of some fixed volumes (FV) and some free space. The emulation type determines the number of fixed volumes. A CVS volume usually consists of at least one fixed volume (FV), one or more customized volumes (CVs), and some free space. CVS allows you to configure variable-size volumes, which are usually smaller than normal (fixed-size) volumes. Therefore, if several frequently accessed files are located in the same logical volume, use CVS to reduce conflicts by splitting the logical volumes and scattering the files, although there are some instances where access is delayed while a file is being accessed. This can improve data accessing performance. CVS can also divide a logical volume into smaller ones for a command device, which efficiently exploits the disk’s capacity.

CVS operations include: Volume to Space, Install CV, Volume Initialize, and Make Volume. The Volume to Space function formats one or more LDEVs on a selected Virtual Device (VDEV) into free space. That free space can either be used to install one or more variable-sized volumes (CVs) using the Install CV function, or left as free space for future use. The Volume Initialize function de-installs all variable sized volumes (CVs) under a CVS volume, and reformats the CVS volume as a normal volume (VDEV). The

Make Volume function clears all variable-sized volumes (CVs) under a CVS volume and creates an initial volume (VDEV) consisting of the new user-defined CVs.

For an overview of how the Volume Initialize function works, see

Figure 77 . For an overview of how

the Make Volume function works, see

Figure 78 .

142

Overview of Volume Manager and Custom Volume Size

Figure 77 Overview of Volume Initialize function

Figure 78 Overview of Make Volume function

Parity group configuration

One parity group consists of a maximum of 16 VDEVs. For RAID-5 (7D + 1P) or RAID-6 (6D + 2P) levels, a maximum of 512 fixed-size volumes (FVs) and a certain amount of free space are available in one

VDEV. For other RAID levels, a maximum of 256 FVs and a certain amount of space are available in one VDEV. Each VDEV in a parity group has the same configuration, and is assigned the same FVs of the same size and RAID level.

CVS functions (Volume to Space, Install CV, Volume Initialize, and Make Volume) are performed on each

VDEV. VDEVs are also separated from each other by the boundary limitation. Therefore, you cannot define a volume across two or more VDEVs beyond the boundaries.

LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

143

Figure 79 Parity group configuration

As the result of CVS operations, a VDEV contains FVs, CVs, and free spaces that are delimited in logical cylinders. Sequential free spaces are combined into a single free space (see

Figure 80

Figure 80 Virtual CVS volume configuration

Volume to Space function

This function converts one or more LDEVs (FVs or CVs) into free space, which deletes the selected LDEVs from that VDEV.

The following are the restrictions on LDEVs and LUSE volumes for the Volume to Space operation:

• The LDEV must not be path-defined (including TrueCopy for z/OS, Continuous Access XP,

ShadowImage for z/OS, Business Copy XP, and Continuous Access XP Journal pair volumes).

• The LDEV must not be a component of a LUSE volume.

• The LDEV must not be reserved for Auto LUN XP.

144

Overview of Volume Manager and Custom Volume Size

• The LDEV must be read/write-enabled.

• The LDEV or LUSE volume must not be a pool volume (pool-VOL).

• The LDEV must not be a journal volume.

• The LDEV must not be a remote command device.

• The LDEV must not contain extents.

Install CV function

This function defines and installs one or more CVS volumes under an existing volume (free space in a

VDEV). You can assign a specific number of physical cylinders (for mainframe systems) or MBs (for open systems) to each CVS volume for maximum control over the volume size. When you specify the capacity and an emulation type other than OPEN-V for a CVS volume to be created, the Install CV function automatically creates and formats the CVS volume in sufficient free space. You must specify new CU and

LDEV numbers for the created CVS volume. The created CVS volume contains the user-specified number of user cylinders and a predetermined number of control cylinders according to the emulation type.

NOTE:

If you select free space and perform an Install CV operation, CVS volumes are created only in the selected free space.

For OPEN-V volumes, there are four ways to create CVS volumes ( Table 22

). You can specify from 46 MB

(50 cylinders) up to the VDEV’s maximum capacity for a CVS volume’s capacity.

Volume Initialize and Make Volume functions

You can initialize a CVS volume using one of the following functions: Volume Initialize or Make Volume.

The Volume Initialize operation de-installs all variable-sized volumes under a CVS volume, and reformats the CVS volume as a normal volume (FV). You must assign CU and LDEV numbers to the new formatted

FV. Any existing FVs on the original VDEV are not reformatted.

The Make Volume operation deletes all volumes in a VDEV, and creates new variable-sized volumes (CVs) according to the specified settings. You can specify the following settings (see

Table 30 ).

152

Overview of Volume Manager and Custom Volume Size

Table 30 Settings for the Make Volume operation (OPEN-V only)

No.

Setting

Specify the capacity and number of variable-sized volumes (CVs) under a CVS volume.

CVS volumes to be created

A CVS volume that has the specified number of

CVs of the specified capacity is created. This is the same as the Install CV operation.

Specify the number of variable-sized volumes

(CVs).

A CVS volume that has the specified number of CVs is created (the VDEV is divided by the specified number).

Specify the capacity of a variable-sized volume

(CV).

A CVS volume that has CVs of the specified capacity is created (the VDEV is divided by the specified capacity).

Specify the remaining capacity for a CVS volume.

If some space remains in the VDEV after CVS volumes are created by settings 1through 3, that remaining space can also be converted into a

CVS volume.

The following are the restrictions on CVs for the Volume Initialize function (other than OPEN-V):

• The CV must not be path-defined (including TrueCopy for z/OS, Continuous Access XP,

ShadowImage for z/OS, Business Copy XP, and Continuous Access XP Journal pair volumes).

• The CV must not be a component of a LUSE volume.

• The CV must not be reserved for Auto LUN XP.

• The CV must be read/write-enabled.

• The CV must not be a pool volume (pool-VOL)

• The CV must not be a journal volume.

• The CV must not be remote command device.

• The CV must not contain extents.

The following are the restrictions on CVs for the Make Volume function:

• The CV must not be path-defined (including TrueCopy for z/OS, Continuous Access XP,

ShadowImage for z/OS, Business Copy XP, and Continuous Access XP Journal pair volumes).

• The CV must not be reserved for Auto LUN XP.

• LUSE volumes concatenated with one or more LDEVs belonging to a different VDEV must not exist.

• The CV must be read/write-enabled.

• The CV must not be a pool volume (pool-VOL)

• The CV must not be a journal volume.

• The CV must not be a remote command device.

Changing LUSE capacities

There are two ways to change a LUSE volume’s capacity:

• Expanding LUSE capacities

To expand a LUSE volume’s capacity, select the LUSE volume you want to expand, and add LDEVs or

LUSE volumes; or first select the LDEVs or LUSE volumes you want to add, and select a LUSE volume to be expanded. For more information, see

Creating LUSE volumes .

• Reducing LUSE capacities

You cannot reduce an existing LUSE volume’s capacity. If you want a LUSE volume to have a smaller capacity, you must first release the LUSE volume (see

Releasing LUSE volumes

), and redefine the LUSE volume (see

Creating LUSE volumes ).

Resetting unregistered LUSE volumes

When you create a LUSE volume, it remains highlighted in blue bold italics until you register it into the array by clicking Apply. A LUSE volume in blue bold italics indicates you can reset this LUSE volume to the state it was in before it was created.

NOTE:

You can use this function to reset an unregistered LUSE volume to the state it was in before it was created.

However, you cannot recover LUSE volumes that have already been released to the state they were in when they were created. Therefore, if the LUSE volume you created consists of any LDEVs (those in blue bold italics) that have been released from a different LUSE volume, you can only reset the LUSE volume to the state it was in when the constituting LDEVs were released from the other LUSE volume.

In the Volume Manager pane, select a CU number from the LDEV Information tree. The LDEV

Information table displays all LDEVs in the selected CU.

In the LDEV Information table, right-click an unregistered LUSE volume (in blue bold italics), and select Reset Selected Volume. The Reset LUSE Confirmation pane appears.

Before starting CVS operations

Before starting a CVS operation on a selected array, ensure that mainframe volumes are disconnected from the host, and remove LU paths to the open volumes. For instructions, see

Deleting LU paths .

CVS operations

You must have write permission for CVS operations, and must be in Modify mode. For more information about assigning user access, see the HP StorageWorks Command View XP user guide for XP Disk Arrays or the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console user guide for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.

Viewing current CVS configuration information

You can view current CVS configuration information on the Customized Volume pane.

Custom Volume Size operations

• Viewing VDEV and LDEV configuration information

You can view configuration information for VDEVs and LDEVs on the Customized Volume pane (

90 ). This pane shows an outline of group numbers, parity group numbers, RAID levels, and VDEV

numbers and a table of CU:LDEV numbers, emulation types, LDEV capacities, and path settings of

VDEVs selected in the tree.

• Viewing LDEV number setting information

You can view setting information for LDEV numbers for a CU number in a selected parity group on

the Install CV pane (2) ( Figure 94

), Make Volume pane (2) (

Figure 99 ), and Volume Initialize pane

(1) ( Figure 102 ).

In the table, gray indicates LDEV numbers that are already in use, white indicates unused LDEV numbers, and blue indicates available LDEV numbers.

Viewing concatenated parity groups

From the Customized Volume pane, right-click a set of parity groups ( ) from the Parity Group -

LDEV tree. If there are concatenated parity groups, a shortcut menu appears.

NOTE:

If you select a parity group icon that does not indicate concatenated parity groups ( ), the shortcut menu does not appear.

Select Concatenation List. The Concatenation List dialog box appears.

Click OK.

Converting logical volumes to space

CAUTION:

The Volume to Space function is a destructive operation. Data on the logical volumes being converted is lost when the operation is complete. You are responsible for backing up data as needed before performing this operation.

Use the Volume to Space function to convert one or more logical volumes (LDEVs) to space, which deletes the selected LDEVs from that VDEV. In other words, the Volume to Space function converts one or more selected LDEVs (FVs or CVs) in a VDEV into spaces. For more information, see

Volume to Space function .

On the upper right of the XP Remote Web Console main pane, select a CU group from the drop-down list.

From the Customized Volume pane, select the LDEV folder in the Parity Group - LDEV tree to open a list of VDEVs.

In the LDEV Information table, select a VDEV to display detailed information about the LDEVs of the selected VDEV.

From the CU:LDEV list, select one or more LDEVs.

NOTE:

For the OPEN-V emulation type, you can also convert LUSE volumes into free space. If the available LDEV is a LUSE volume, the emulation type appears with an asterisk and the number of volumes in the LUSE volume (for example, OPEN-V*3) in the Emulation column of the table.
