INSTALLATION
This manual describes the requirements and procedures for connecting the XP family of disk arrays to a host system and configuring the new disk array for operation with the Sun Solaris operating system. Installation of the HP Surestore Disk Array XP is performed by users with administrator privileges and the HP service representative. The HP service representative performs the physical installation of the disk array and formats the disk devices. The user configures the Sun system for the new devices with assistance as needed from the HP service representative. The HP account representative can assist in determining the supported configurations for your system.
Installation Requirements
The disk array can support concurrent attachment to multiple UNIX-based and PC-server platforms as well as S/390 mainframe systems.The disk array operates with multihost applications and host clusters, and is designed to handle very large databases as well as data warehousing and data mining applications that store and retrieve terabytes of data. The disk array can be configured with Fibre Channel ports and/or serial interface ports (compatible with ESCON protocol) to provide connectivity with the Solaris host as well as S/390 mainframe hosts. Contact your HP account representative for specific installation requirements, such as software versions and hardware configurations. To install the disk array into the host system, ensure that the environment conforms to these requirements: HP Surestore Disk Array XP Sun Enterprise server Sun Solaris operating system, version 2.5.1, 2.6, 7.0, or 8.0 Confirm with your Sun service representative that the most current OS patches are installed. (Recommended) HP Surestore Command View XP software (Optional and recommended) LUN Configuration Manager XP remote control software product LUN Configuration Manager enables you to define and reconfigure the SCSI-to-logical device (LDEV) paths for the disk array as needed, change the host mode of each SCSI port for connection with other open-system hosts as needed, and access the remote service information messages (R-SIMs) generated by the disk array. LUN Configuration Manager runs on the remote console PC and can support up to eight disk arrays. (HP service representative) If LUN Configuration Manager is not used, you must configure the SCSI-to-LDEV paths by using the service processor (SVP) of the disk array.
10
There may be restrictions on relevant firmware or driver versions used. An HP service representative can provide information on supported firmware and driver versions.
Differential SCSI Adapters (XP256 Only)

For the XP256, the system must have differential SCSI-2 adapters. Do not attach the disk array to any single-ended SCSI device. Ultra-wide differential or fast-wide differential (FWD) adapters are recommended. The SCSI cable length attached to each SCSI adapter must not exceed 20 meters (65.6 feet). The disk array supports up to two Paralan SCSI bus extenders to extend cable length to a maximum of 60 meters (196.8 feet).
Full-Speed (100 Mbps) Fibre Channel Interface

The disk array supports full-speed (100 MB/s) Fibre Channel interface, including: short-wave non-OFC (open fibre control) optical interface Do not connect any OFC-type connector to the disk array. multimode optical cables with SC connectors point-to-point (P-P), arbitrated loop (FC-AL), and fabric topologies
Caution
The total fiber cable length attached to each Fibre Channel adapter must not exceed 500 meters (1,640 feet).

Connectivity Options
XP256 The XP256 disk array supports Fibre Channel, ESCON, and differential SCSI host connectivity. XP512/XP48 The XP512 and XP48 disk arrays support Fibre Channel and ESCON host connectivity.
12
Supported Device Types

The disk array supports the following types of devices: OPEN-K/3/8/9/E devices The disk array supports OPEN host emulation mode devices. LUSE devices (OPEN-x*n) The Logical Unit Size Expansion (LUSE) feature of the disk array enables you to configure custom-size LDEVs, which are larger than standard OPEN-K/3/8/9/E LDEVs. CVS devices (OPEN-x CVS) The Custom Volume Size (CVS) feature of the disk array enables you to configure CVS devices. The CVS capability allows you to slice up a single LDEV into several smaller LDEVs to best fit application needs and improve host access to frequently used files. CVS LUSE devices (OPEN-x*n CVS) CVS LUSE devices combine the CVS and LUSE features of the disk array. The CVS feature is used first to create custom-size devices. Then, the LUSE feature is used to combine these CVS devices. You can combine from 2 to 36 CVS devices into one CVS LUSE device.

(HP service representative only) Prepare to connect the disk array (page 15). 2. (XP256 only) Identify the available SCSI paths (page 17). 3. Define the SCSI/Fibre Channel paths (page 21). 4. Set the disk and device parameters (page 40). 5. Connect the disk array (page 42). 6. Configure the disk devices (page 44). 7. Create and mount the file systems (page 55).
14
Preparing to Connect to the Disk Array

The disk array comes with all hardware and cabling required for installation. Installation of the disk array includes these activities: hardware installation remote console and LUN Configuration Manager installation The user configures the host system with assistance as needed from the HP service representative.
Hardware Installation
The HP service representative installs the disk array, including these tasks: final hardware assembly The HP service representative performs hardware installation as specified in the disk array maintenance manual. loading microprogram updates for SCSI or Fibre Channel support installing SCSI or Fibre Channel adapters and cabling The total fibre cable length attached to each Fibre Channel adapter must not exceed 500 meters (1,640 feet). Do not connect any open fibre control (OFC) type connector to the disk array.
Caution
Do not connect or disconnect fibre cabling that is being actively used for I/O. This can cause the system to hang. Always confirm that the devices on the fibre cable are offline before connecting or disconnecting the fibre cable. installing and formatting the logical devices (LDEVs) using the internal service processor (SVP) of the disk array. Obtain the desired LDEV configuration information from the user, including the desired number of OPEN-K/3/8/9/E, CVS, LUSE, and multiplatform (Data Exchange) devices.
Installation
15
Fabric Connect the disk array port to the F-port of the fabric switch. Connect the host adapter to the FL-port of the fabric switch. Disk Array FC Port The Fibre Channel topology parameters for each disk array Fibre Channel port depend on the type of device to which the disk array port is connected. Determine the topology parameters supported by the device, and set your topology accordingly. See Configuring the Fibre Channel Ports (page 19). The type of disk array port is also important.
Remote Console PC and LUN Configuration Manager Installation

The user or HP service representative can install the remote console PC and HP Surestore LUN Configuration Manager XP. You use the LUN Configuration Manager software on the remote console PC to set the host modes for the disk array ports and configure the Fibre Channel ports. Related Information For instructions on installing the LUN Configuration Manager software, see the product manual: HP Surestore LUN Configuration Manager XP: Users Guide
16
Identifying the Available SCSI Paths (XP256 only)

Identify the device information for existing peripheral devices to avoid duplicating any SCSI target IDs (TIDs) during disk array installation. The HP service representative performs this activity. To verify the current system configuration for SCSI: 1. Verify that all existing SCSI devices are powered on and properly connected. 2. Log in to the system as root. 3. Display the device information for all peripheral devices using the dmesg command with the output piped to more. The device information includes the SCSI bus number, SCSI TID, and LUN. Example

For each SCSI bus, identify and record the available SCSI TIDs and LUNs that can be assigned to the disk array devices. See SCSI Path Worksheet (page 70).
Setting the Host Mode for the Ports

Use LUN Configuration Manager to set the host mode of each port for the supported HBA. If the remote LUN Configuration Manager feature is not installed, the HP service representative can set the host modes for you by using the SVP. The disk array ports have special modes which must be set for various middleware environments (for example, VERITAS VxVM-DMP for Solaris). The required host mode setting for using the disk array in a Solaris environment with Solaris VxVM-DMP mode is 09.

Configuring the Fibre Channel Ports

Configure the Fibre Channel ports to define the fibre topology parameters (for example, arbitrated loop) and port addresses. Configuring Topology Parameters Use the LUN Configuration Manager software to define the topology parameters for each Fibre Channel port. Select the appropriate settings for each Fibre Channel port based on the device to which the port is connected. Determine the topology parameters supported by the device, and set your topology accordingly. The type of port is also important. In a heterogeneous fabric switched environment, it is necessary to implement Secure Manager XP. When you are finished configuring the FC ports (and SCSI paths), you can exit the LUN Configuration Manager software.

For information about how to configure Fibre Channel ports with LUN Configuration Manager, see the product manual: HP Surestore LUN Configuration Manager XP: Users Guide If the remote LUN Configuration Manager feature is not installed, please contact your HP service representative for information on LUN Configuration Manager configuration services. Configuring the Port Address In fabric environments, the port addresses are assigned automatically by fabric switch port number and are not controlled by the port settings. In arbitrated loop environments, the port addresses are set by entering an arbitrated-loop physical address (AL-PA) or loop ID. Fibre Channel protocol uses the AL-PAs to communicate on the Fibre Channel link, but the software driver of the platform host adapter translates the AL-PA value assigned to the port to a SCSI target ID (TID). The disk array supports up to 256 LDEVs per fibre-channel port. Appendix B (page 92) shows the available AL-PA values ranging from 01 to EF.
Loop ID Conflicts
To avoid conflicts, the AL-PAs must be unique for each device on the loop. Do not use more than one port address with the same TID in the same loop (for example, addresses EF and CD both have TID 0). If a loop ID conflict occurs with a Fibre Channel port, the disk array automatically changes the port's AL-PA to resolve the conflict condition.
20
Defining the SCSI/Fibre Channel Paths

Use the LUN Configuration Manager feature of the Remote Control product to define the LUN mapping (SCSI/Fibre Channel-to-LDEV paths) for the devices on the disk array. If LUN Configuration Manager is not installed, the HP service representative configures the LUN mapping by using the SVP of the disk array. To define the SCSI/Fibre Channel paths for the new devices: 1. Determine the SCSI TID and LUN for each new device. 2. Use LUN Configuration Manager to define the SCSI/Fibre Channel paths for each new SCSI/Fibre Channel device. Use only available TIDs and LUNs. Do not duplicate any TIDs or LUNs on the SCSI/Fibre Channel buses.
Caution
Do not duplicate any SCSI target IDs on the SCSI buses. SCSI TID 7 (first priority) is usually assigned to the SCSI initiator, SCSI TID 6 (second priority) is usually assigned to the CD-ROM device, and SCSI TID 3 is usually assigned to the boot device. Make sure not to use the TIDs assigned to these devices for the disk array. Slow devices (for example, tape drives) should be given higher SCSI priority than fast devices (for example, disk drives). To use ultra SCSI transfer with the disk array, the HP service representative must set the host mode of each disk array ultra SCSI port to SCSI (Ultra 1A) or Fibre (FWD 09), using the LUN Configuration Manager XP software. The HP service representative can also set the host mode by using the SVP of the disk array. 3. Use LUN Configuration Manager to define the port ID and topology parameters for each SCSI/Fibre Channel port. The port ID takes the place of the SCSI/Fibre Channel target ID in a Fibre Channel environment. Connectivity is limited to eight LUNs per Fibre Channel port.
Installation
21
4. (HP service representative) Verify that the status of the SCSI/Fibre Channel adapters and LDEVs is NORMAL and check the SCSI/Fibre Channel path configuration to ensure that all target IDs for the host system are unique.
Adding the New SCSI Paths to the System

Now that you have determined and defined the SCSI paths for the new disk arrays, you must add the new SCSI paths to the driver configuration file (/kernel/drv/sd.conf) so that the system will recognize the new devices. You must add the paths for all new devices, including OPEN-K/3/8/9/E. When the Sun system boots up, the SCSI paths defined in the driver configuration file are verified. If the path for a device is not defined in this file, the Sun system will not recognize the device on that SCSI path.
Caution
When the Sun system boots up, the SCSI paths are verified in the order they appear in the driver configuration file. To ensure that the system can boot properly even if you make a mistake in the driver configuration file, make sure the system boot device is defined before the rest of the devices. For example, if you add a new device before the boot device and accidentally type a colon (:) instead of a semi-colon (;), the system will stop checking the driver configuration file when it encounters the error, and the boot operation will fail. Unnecessary entries in the sd.conf file can lead to a long delay in the boot procedure. If there are a large number of nonexistent LUNs, the Solaris sd driver must probe for each missing LUN for the sd timeout period specified in the /etc/system file. To add the newly installed disk array devices to the system: 1. Power on the system. 2. Log in as root. 3. Make a backup copy of the /kernel/drv/sd.conf driver configuration file.
Example
# cp -ip /kernel/drv/sd.conf /kernel/drv/sd.conf.standard
22
4. Edit the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file using the UNIX vi editor. Add two lines for each new device, as shown. Enter the correct SCSI TID and LUN for each device. Example
# Copyright (c) 1992, by Sun Microsystems, Inc. # #ident "@(#)sd.conf 1.8 93/05/03 SMI name="sd" class="scsi" target=10 lun=0 hba="fca-pci0"; name="sd" class="scsi" target=10 lun=1 hba="fca-pci0"; name="sd" class="scsi" target=10 lun=2 hba="fca-pci0"; name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0; name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=0; name="sd" class="scsi"
5. Save the changes and exit the vi editor.
Configuring the Host Fibre Channel Adapter

To ensure that the host configuration is correct, verify recognition of the Fibre Channel Adapter (FCA) and the FCA driver. For supported drivers, see Host Bus Adapter Modes (page 108) in appendix B. To verify the Fibre Channel host configuration: 1. Log in to the system as root. Verify that all existing devices are powered on and properly connected to the system. 2. Display the host configuration using the dmesg command. The fibre information includes the recognition of the Fibre Channel adapter, the SCSI bus characteristics, the worldwide name, and the FCA driver. Make sure that the host recognizes these four classes. If this information is not displayed or if error messages are displayed, the host environment may not be configured properly.

Configuring the JNI Driver To configure the JNI FCI-1063 or FC64-1063, edit the fca*.conf file in the /kernel/drv/ directory. For 32-bit SBus adapters, configure the /kernel/drv/fca.conf file. For 64-bit SBus adapters, configure the /kernel/drv/fca-pci.conf file. Add the following descriptions to the configuration file: timeout_reset_enable = 1 link_recovery_delay = 500 When using a switched environment, set the following variable: def_hba_binding = "non-jni*"; When using VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) Dynamic Multi Pathing (DMP), set the following values: Recovery_attempts = 5 Failover = 30 Editing the /kernel/drv/fca-pci.conf file To edit the /kernel/drv/fca-pci.conf file: 1. Log in as root. 2. Make a backup of fca-pci.conf: cp /kernel/drv/fca-pci.conf /kernel/drv/fca-pci.bk 3. Use vi to edit the fca-pci.conf file. 4. When a command to a target times out, the driver can attempt to clear the problem in two ways: (timeout_reset_enable = 1) will reset the target, while (timeout_reset_enable = 0) will send an abort exchange (ABTS_LS) request to the target. Enter: timeout_reset_enable = 1 5. Set the delay between link up state and login recovery. This delay helps ensure link stability before recovery of communications to ports. The delay is in milliseconds with a 10 millisecond resolution. Enter: link_recovery_delay = 500

6. Define the number of times login_recovery is attempted. Enter: recovery_attempts = 5 7. Define the number of seconds after link failure before failing all pending commands on targets. Enter: failover = 30. 8. Save your changes and exit the text editor. 9. Reboot the Sun system to establish the I/O TOV setting. Connecting to Fibre Switch The JNI port adapter should be connected to a switch F-Port. The disk array Fibre Channel port should be connected to a switch FL-Port. Use the zoning function when attempting to connect multiple types of servers to the disk array via the same switch. To enable the fibre switch connection: 1. Edit the /kernel/drv/fca.conf file. 2. Enter: fca_nport = 1 3. Save your changes and exit the text editor. Example

Setting the Disk and Device Parameters

The I/O timeout value (TOV) for disk array devices is 60 seconds (the default). If the I/O timeout value has been changed, you must change it back to 60 seconds by editing the sd_io_time parameter in the /etc/system file. You should also verify all other required settings for your operational environment (for example, Fibre Channel support). You must also make sure that the device parameters are the same for all disk array devices. For Fibre Channel, the settings in the system file are effective for the whole system, not for just the Fibre Channel adapter. To set the I/O timeout value: 1. Make a backup copy of the system specification file using the cp command: Example
# cp /etc/system /etc/system.backup
2. Open the system specification file using the vi editor. Example

# vi /etc/system ident @(#)System 1.15 92/11/14 SMI / SVRA 1.5 */ * * SYSTEM SPECIFICAtION FILE * * moddir: * * Set the search path for modules. This has a format similar to the * csh path variable. If the module isnt found in the first directory * it tries the second and so on. The default is /kernel /usr/kernel * * Example: * moddir: /kernel /usr/kernel /other/modules * : : * set: * * Set an integer variable in the kernel or a module to a new value. * This facility must be used with caution. See system(4). * Examples: * * To set variables in unix: * * set nautopush=32 * set maxusers=40 * * To set a variable named debug in the module named test_module * * set test_module:debug = 0x13 * set sd:sd_io_time = 0x3c set sd:sd_max_throttle = 16
40
3. Look for the following line:

set sd:sd_io_time = 0xXX.
If this line does not appear anywhere in the file, you do not need to add it because the TOV will default to 60 seconds. If this line has already been added to the file, make sure the value is 0x3c hex (decimal 60). 4. Look for the following line:
set sd:sd_max_throttle = x
If this line does not appear anywhere in the file, you need to add it. If this line has already been added to the file, make sure the max throttle is set to the appropriate value. Example To set the max throttle value to 8, enter:
set sd:sd_max_throttle = 8
5. Save the changes and exit the vi editor. You must shut down and restart the system for these changes to take effect.
Installation

Connecting the Disk Array

After you have added the new SCSI paths to the driver configuration file and edited the system configuration file as needed, you are ready to connect the disk to the Sun system.
Shut Down the Sun System

The Sun system must be shut down and powered off before the disk is connected. To shut down and power off the Sun system: 1. Shut down the Sun system as usual. Example
# shutdown y i 0 g 30
2. Reset the system. You are now ready to connect the disk array to the Sun system as described in the next section.
Connect the Disk Array

The disk array comes with all hardware and cabling required for connection to the host systems. To connect the disk array: 1. Verify disk array installation. The HP service representative verifies that the status of the SCSI/Fibre Channel adapters and LDEVs is NORMAL. The HP service representative must also check the SCSI paths to make sure all SCSI TIDs for each host system are unique.
42
2. Connect the disk array to the Sun system. The Sun system must be powered OFF before the disk array is connected. The HP representative installs the SCSI/Fibre Channel cables between the disk array and the Sun system. Make sure to install SCSI terminators as required. 3. Power on the Sun system display. 4. Power on all peripheral devices. The disk array must already be on, the SCSI paths must already be defined, and the driver configuration file and system configuration file must already be edited. If the SCSI paths are defined after the Sun system is powered on, the system must be restarted to recognize the new devices. 5. Confirm the ready status of all peripheral devices, including the disk array. 6. Power on the Sun system.
Installation
43
Configuring the Disk Devices

After connecting the disk array, you must configure the system.
Verify New Device Recognition

The first step in new device configuration is to verify that the Sun system recognizes the new disk drives correctly. To verify new device recognition: 1. Reboot the system using the boot r command. The r option tells the system to rebuild the devices. Using boot by itself will not build the devices on the newly installed disk array. 2. Log in to the system as root. 3.

4. Verify that the system recognizes the disk array devices. Verify that the device information for each new device (vendor, product, number of blocks, block size) is correct. Refer to Parameter Tables for OPEN-K/ 3/8/9/E Devices (page 72) in appendix B for device information. Example This example shows that the Sun system recognizes the following devices on the disk array.
HP OPEN-3 device: SCSI bus = ....,isp@1, SCSI target ID = 2, LUN = 0. HP OPEN-3 device: SCSI bus = ....,isp@1, SCSI target ID = 2, LUN = 1. HP OPEN-9 device: SCSI bus = ....,isp@1, SCSI target ID = 4, LUN = 0.
If any device information is missing or incorrect, check the SVP SCSIto-LDEV path configuration to make sure the SCSI TIDs and LUNs

are not duplicated. Also, be sure that the SCSI cables and terminators are installed correctly or that Fibre Channel cabling is correct.
Verify Fibre Channel Host Adapter Recognition (Fibre Channel Only)

After the installation for the host adapter, use the dmesg command to verify that the host adapter is recognized. To verify host adapter recognition: 1. Enter dmesg to display information. 2. Verify that the bold text is displayed. If the message is missing or an error message appears, the host environment may not be installed properly. Check the host adapter hardware and driver installation or host configuration. In this example, the operating system level is given in the third line. Example

Partition and Label the Devices

All new devices must be partitioned and labeled using the Sun format utility. OPEN-K/3/8/9/E devices can have more than one partition. The device partitioning and labeling procedure involves the following tasks: defining and setting the disk type setting the partitions labeling the disk verifying the disk label
Caution
Be extremely careful when using the Sun format utility. Do not use any format commands not described in this document. The Sun format utility is designed for Sun disks. Some format commands are not compatible with the disk array and can overwrite the data on the disk. The disk array will not respond to the format command (the disks are formatted by the HP service representative using the SVP), and will not report any defect data in response to the defect command. To partition and label the disks, work with all devices of one type (for example, OPEN-3), then all devices of the next type (for example, OPEN-9), and so on until you have partitioned and labeled all new devices. During the disk partitioning and labeling procedure, enter the disk type parameter information. Refer to Parameter Tables for OPEN-K/3/8/9/E Devices (page 72) in appendix B for values.
Installation
47
To partition and label the devices: 1. Enter format at the root prompt to start the format utility. Example

2. Verify that all new devices are displayed. If not, exit the format utility (quit or Ctrl-D), and make sure the SCSI/ Fibre Channel-to-LDEV paths were defined for all devices and that all new devices were added to the driver configuration file. 3. Record the character-type device file names (for example, c1t2d0) for all of the newly installed disk array devices. You will need this information later to create the file systems.
48
4. When you are asked to specify the disk, enter the number of the device to be partitioned and labeled. Example
Specify disk (enter its number): 2 selecting c1t2d0 [disk formatted]
5. When you are asked if you want to label the disk, enter n for no. Example
Disk not labeled. Label it now ? n
6. After the format menu is displayed, enter type to display the disk types. Example
format> type AVAILABLE DRIVE TYPES 0. Auto configure : 14. SUN2.1G 15. HP-OPEN-3-0315 16. HP OPEN-3 17. other
7. If the disk type for the selected device is already defined, enter the number for that disk type, and go to step 10. Do not use HP-OPEN-x-0315, HP-3390-3A/B-0315, or HP-3380-KA/ B-0315. These disk types are created automatically by Solaris and cannot be used for disk array devices. Example
Specify disk type (enter its number):16
8. If the disk type for the selected device is not already defined, enter its number to define the disk type. Example
AVAILABLE DRIVE TYPES 0. Auto configure : 14. SUN2.1G 15. HP-OPEN-3-0315 16. other Specify disk type (enter its number):16

16. Exit the partition utility and return to the format utility. Example
partition> quit
17. Display the available disks by entering disk at the format> prompt. Make sure the disk you just labeled is displayed with the proper disk type name and parameters. Example
format> disk AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS 0. c0t1d0 <SUN1.05 cyl 2036 alt 2 hd 14 sec 72> /iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@1,0 1. c0t3d0 <SUN1.05 cyl 2036 alt 2 hd 14 sec 72> /iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@3,0 2. c1t2d0 <HP OPEN-3 cyl 3336 alt 2 hd 15 sec 96> /iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/....,isp@0,10000/sd@2,0 3. c1t2d1 <HP-OPEN-3-0315 .....................> /iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/....,isp@0,10000/sd@2,1 4. c1t2d0 <HP-OPEN-9-0315 .....................> /iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/....,isp@0,10000/sd@4,0 Specify disk (enter its number): 3
Installation
53
18. Repeat steps 2 through 17 for each new device to be labeled. After a disk type is defined (for example, HP OPEN-3), you can label all devices of that same type without having to enter the disk type parameters (that is, you can skip steps 8 and 9). For this reason, you may want to label the devices by type, for example, labeling all OPEN-3 devices, then all OPEN-9 devices, and so on until all new devices have been partitioned and labeled. 19. When you finish labeling the disks and verifying the disk labels, enter quit or press Ctrl-D to exit the format utility.
54
Creating and Mounting the File Systems

When you finish labeling the disks and verifying the disk labels, you must create and mount the file systems.
Create the File Systems

First create the file system. To create the file systems: 1. Create the file system using the newfs C maxconfig command. Example
# newfs -C 6 /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0
Use 6 or one of the following multiples of 6 as the maxconfig value for all disk array OPEN-K/3/8/9/E devices: 12, 18, 24, or 30. If 6 is used, the Sun OS will access 48 KB as a unit (6*8 KB), which matches the track size of the OPEN-K/3/8/9/E devices. These maxconfig values (6, 12, 18, 24, 30) optimize the I/O performance of the disk array by keeping the I/O data range on one track. The maxconfig value that you choose depends on your applications, and you can change the maxconfig parameter to a different value at any time. Use the character-type device file (for example, /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0) as the argument. Example /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0 2. When the confirmation appears, verify that the device file name is correct. If correct, enter y for yes. If not correct, enter n for no, and repeat step 1, using the correct device file name.
Installation
55
Example
newfs:construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0:(y/n) y /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0: 4803840 sectors in 3336 cylinders of 15 tracks, 96 sectors 22345.6MB in 209 cyl groups (16 c/g, 11.25MB/g, 5440 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -F ufs -o b=#) at: 32, 23168, 46304, 69440, 92576, 115712, 138848, 161984, 185120, 208256, : : 4747616, 4770752, 4792352, #
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each OPEN-K/3/8/9/E device on the newly installed disk array. Use the same maxconfig value for all disk array devices.
Create and Verify the Mount Directories

Create and verify the mount directories for the new OPEN-K/3/8/9/E devices. Each logical partition requires a unique mount directory, and the mount directory name should identify the logical volume and the partition. To create the mount directories: 1. Go to the root directory. Example
# cd # pwd /
2. Create the mount directory. Choose a name for the mount directory, which identifies both the logical volume and the partition. Example
# mkdir /XP
3. Verify the new mount directory. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each logical partition on each new OPEN-K/3/8/9/E device.
56
Mount and Verify the File Systems

After the file system and mount directories are created, you are ready to mount and verify the file systems. To mount and verify the file systems: 1. Mount the file system by using the mount command. Use the correct block-type device file name and mount directory for the device/partition. If you have already added the device to the /etc/vfstab file, you do not need to specify the block-type device file, only the mount directory. Example
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0 /XP # mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d1s0 /XP # mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d2s0 /XP :
2. Repeat step 1 for each partition of each newly-installed OPEN-K/3/8/ 9/E device. 3. Display the mounted devices and verify that all new OPEN-K/3/8/9/E LUNs are displayed correctly. Example
# df -k File system Kbytes /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 28775 /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s6 269191 /proc 0 fd 0 /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s4s 57567 swap 142204 /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s7 462119 /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s5 47975 /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0 2256436 /dev/dsk/c1t2d1s0 2256436 /dev/dsk/c1t2d2s0 6774358 : used 27706 234897 0 0 29515 20 206000 42059 9 9 9 avail 0 7384 0 0 22302 142184 209909 1126 2030787 2030787 6548709 capacity 100% 97% 0% 0% 57% 0% 50% 97% 0% 0% 0% Mounted on / /usr /proc /dev/fd /var /tmp /export/home /opt /XP00 /XP01 /XP02
4. As a final verification, perform some basic UNIX operations (for example, file creation, copying, and deletion) on each logical unit to make sure that the newly installed devices are fully operational.
Installation
57
Set and Verify the Auto-Mount Parameters

Add the new OPEN-K/3/8/9/E devices to the /etc/vfstab file, specifying the auto-mount parameters for each device. After a device is added to this file, you can mount the device without having to specify its block-type device file name, because the /etc/vfstab file associates the device with its mount directory.
Table 3. fstab Parameters Parameter Name Number P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 Enter

58
To set the auto-mount parameters: 1. Make a backup copy of the /etc/vfstab file.
# cp -ip /etc/vfstab /etc/vfstab.standard
2. Edit the /etc/fstab file, adding one line for each device to be automounted. Table 3 (page 58) shows the auto-mount parameters. Example

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the disk array has an error condition, see Error Conditions (page 62), for recommended actions. The table lists potential error conditions during disk array configuration for Sun Solaris and provides instructions for resolving each condition. If you are unable to resolve an error condition, ask your HP support representative for assistance. See Calling the HP Support Center (page 68).

The logical devices are not recognized by the system.
Verify that the READY indicator lights on the disk array are ON. Verify that the SCSI/Fibre Channel cables are correctly installed and firmly connected. Verify that the SCSI terminators are properly connected. Verify that the SCSI target IDs are properly configured. The LUNs for each SCSI TID must start at 0 and continue sequentially without skipping any numbers. Verify that the SCSI TIDs on each bus are unique. Do not install two devices with the same SCSI TID on the same bus. Run dmesg to recheck the SCSI/Fibre Channel buses for new devices. Verify that LUSE devices are not intermixed with normal LUNs or with multiplatform devices on the same SCSI port. Verify that the maximum number of LUSE devices per SCSI port is 16.
The system does not reboot If the system is powered off without executing the shutdown process, properly after hard shutdown. wait three minutes before restarting it. This pause allows the internal timeout process of the disk array to purge all queued commands so that the disk array is available (not busy) during system startup. If the system is restarted too soon, the disk array will continue trying to process queued commands, and the system will not reboot successfully. Physical volumes cannot be created.

Troubleshooting
63
Error Condition
Recommended Action
Pinned track.
To repair a pinned track, write dummy data to the pinned track, using the analyze-write command in the format utility. This procedure resets the ECC/LRC error status of the pinned track.
64
Verbose Mode
One method of troubleshooting involves the verbose mode. The following paragraphs are examples of error messages that may occur. A possible debugging method is to select the device and turn on verbose mode. Then attempt the boot process again. Verbose error messages will provide information which will help isolate the problem. To turn on the verbose flag: Enter the following command sequence:
ok ok ok " /sbus/fca" select-dev true to fca-verbose boot fcadisk
Examples of Error Messages

Error message: Cannot Assemble drivers for /sbus@1f,0/fcaw@1,0/sd@0,0:a Cannot Mount root on /sbus@1f,0/fcaw@1,0/sd@0,0:a Problem: The process of copying the OS to the fibre channels was not complete, or the drive specified on the boot command is not the same as the one the OS was constructed on. Error message: Cant open boot device Problem: The wwn specified with the set-bootn0-wwn does not correspond to the wwn of the device. Could also be a cable problem the adapter cannot initialize. Error message: The file just loaded does not appear to be bootable Problem: The bootblk was not installed on the target.
Troubleshooting
65
Error message: mount: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 not of this fs type Problem: At this point the process hangs. This happens if the /etc/vfstab file has not been updated on the fibrechannel boot drive to reflect the new target. Error message: Get PortID request rejected by nameserver Problem: The wwn of the target is not correct. Select the adapter and perform set-bootn0-wwn. If this is correct, check the switch to see that target is properly connected. Error message: Cant read disk label Problem: The selected target is not a Solaris filesystem. Error message: Nport init failed Problem: Card is connected to an arbitrated loop device, but wants to initialize as an NPORT. The bootn0-wwn property has probably been set to a valid WWN. Error message: Panic dump not saved Problem: After the system is successfully booted to Solaris from the fibrechannel and a panic occurs the panic does not get saved to the swap device. This can be the result not properly defined the swap partition. Use the format command to view the slices on the fibre channel drive. Take the partition option, then the print option. The swap partition should look something like this: 1 swap wm 68-459 298.36MB (402/0/0) 611040 Sizes and cylinders will probably be different on your system. Make sure that the flag is wm and that the sizes are defined (not 0). Then use the label option from partition to write the label to the drive. After this the panic should be saved to the swap partition. If the partition needs to be changed chose the partition option, and enter 1 to select slice 1. Error message: Cant open /packages Problem: The bootblk was not properly installed
66
Connection Problems
If problems occur when you attempt to connect the disk array and the Sun Solaris host, check the items below during troubleshooting. Disk array logical devices cannot be recognized Check that disk arrays READY light is ON. Confirm that target IDs are correctly set. Confirm that SCSI IDs are not duplicated by other devices. Verify the contents of the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file. File system cannot be created (newfs command) Check that character-type device file is specified for as the device file in the newfs command. Verify that the logical unit is correctly labeled by the format command. File system is not mounted after rebooting Verify that the system is powered. Verify that /etc/vfstab is correctly edited. There is a pinned track condition Reset ECC/LRC pinned track error status using the Solaris analyze command.
Troubleshooting
67
Calling the HP Support Center

If you need to call HP customer support, provide as much information about the problem as possible, including the circumstances surrounding the error or failure and the exact content of any error messages displayed on the host system. If the Remote Control XP software product is installed on a remote console PC, check the R-SIM window and note the reference codes and severity levels of recent R-SIMs.

Notes for Parameter Tables for OPEN-K/3/8/9/E Devices 1. The operating system allocates some disk space for its own use. The maximum capacity of the disk cannot be specified for SIZE of File System at Add a Journaled File System. 2. The value of [Note 2] is the physical partition size in megabytes. The selectable physical partition sizes are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256. The physical partition number for one disk must be less than or equal to 1016. For OPEN-3*n, OPEN-8*n, and OPEN-9*n devices, use the physical partition size listed in Physical Partition Size Table (page 106). For OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS, calculate the physical partition size [Note 2] using the following: [Note 2] = round up ([Note 4]/(20481016)) to 2n where: [Note 6] = number of cylinders of LUSE composed by OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS volumes specified by SVP or remote console. [Note 5] = number of cylinders of OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS specified by SVP or the remote console. [Note 4] = number of blocks of CVS volumes calculated by: [Note 5] (number of head) (number of sectors per track). Example To calculate the value of [Note 2] for OPEN-9 CVS, which has 6676 cylinders: [Note 4] = 6676 15 96 = 9613440 ([Note 4]/(2048 1016)) = (9613440/(2048 1016)) = 4.62 [Note 2] = round up 4.62 to 2n = 8
76
3. The value of [Note 3] is the size of the file system. Confirm the number of free physical partitions and the size of the physical partition. Calculate the maximum size of the file system using the following equation: Maximum size of file system = (Free PPs 1) (PP Size) 2048 where: Free PPs = the number of free physical partitions PP size = the size of physical partition Example To calculate the maximum file size of an OPEN-3*20 device: Free PPs = 733 PP size = 64 Maximum size of file system = (Free PPs 1) (PP Size) 2048 = (733 1) 64 2048 = 95944704 95944704 is maximum size of file system for OPEN-3*20. 4. The value of [Note 4] is the number of blocks of CVS volumes. This number is calculated by the equation: [Note 4] = [Note 5] (number of heads) (number of sectors per track). 5. The value of [Note 5] is the number of cylinders of OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS corresponding to the capacity specified by the SVP or the remote console. The CVS size of OPEN-K/3/8/9/E is specified by capacity in megabytes, not by the number of cylinders. The number of cylinders in an OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS volume can be calculated as follows: Number of cylinders = (specified capacity (MB) from SVP or remote console) 1024 / 720 ( means round up to integer) Example When 37 MB is specified for OPEN-3 CVS volume from the SVP, the number of cylinders of the OPEN-3 CVS can be calculated as follows: 37 1024/720 = 52.62 52.62 = 53 ( means round up to integer)
The OPEN-3 CVS volume has 53 cylinders.

6. The value of [Note 6] is the number of cylinders of LUSE composed of OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS volumes corresponding to the capacity specified by SVP or remote console. The CVS size of an OPEN-K/3/8/9/E device is specified by capacity in megabytes, not by the number of cylinders. To calculate the number of cylinders of OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS volumes: Number of cylinders = (specified capacity (mega byte) from the SVP or the remote console) 1024 / 720 n ( means round up to integer) where n = the number of concatenated volumes for LUSE Example When an OPEN-3 CVS volume is specified as 37 MB and the volumes are concatenated, calculate the number of cylinders of the OPEN-3 CVS as follows: 37 1024/720 4 = 52.62 4 = 53 4 = 212 The LUSE for OPEN-3 CVS volume has 212 cylinders. 7. Each disk has 2 alternate cylinders.

Notes for Table 8 Through Table 11 1. The value of pc is calculated as follows: pc = nc nt ns The nc of OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS corresponds to the capacity specified by SVP or remote console. The CVS size of OPEN-K/3/8/9/E is specified by capacity (megabyte), not by number of cylinders. The number of cylinders of an OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS volume can be obtained by the following calculation ( means round up to integer). The number of cylinders = (specified capacity in megabytes from SVP or remote console) 1,024 / 720 . Example When 37 MB is specified for an OPEN-3 CVS volume from SVP, the number of cylinders of the OPEN-3 CVS can be calculated as follows: 37 1,024 / 720 = 52.62 52.62 = 53 The OPEN-3 CVS volume has 53 cylinders. 2. The value of pa must be equal to or more than 131,072. 3. The number of cylinders of a Logical Unit Size Expansion (LUSE) composed of OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS volumes corresponds to the capacity specified by the SVP or the remote console. CVS size of OPEN-K/3/8/9/E is specified by the capacity (megabyte), not by the number of cylinders. The number of cylinders of the OPEN-K/3/8/9/E CVS volume can be obtained by the following calculation ( means round up to integer): The number of cylinders = (specified capacity in megabytes from SVP or remote console) 1,024 / 720 n where n is the number of concatenated volumes for LUSE.
90
Example
When 37 MB is specified for the OPEN-3 CVS volume and the four volumes are concatenated, the number of cylinders of the OPEN-3 CVS can be calculated as follows: 37 1,024 / 720 4 = 52.62 4 = 53 4 = 212 The LUSE for the OPEN-3 CVS volume has 212 cylinders.

SCSI TID Map for Fibre Channel Adapters

When an arbitrated loop (AL) is established or reestablished, the port addresses are assigned automatically to prevent duplicate TIDs. With the SCSI over Fibre Channel protocol (FCP), there is no longer a need for target IDs in the traditional sense. SCSI is a bus-oriented protocol requiring each device to have a unique address since all commands go to all devices. For Fibre Channel, the AL-PA is used instead of the TID to direct packets to the desired destination. Unlike traditional SCSI, when control of the loop is acquired, a point-topoint connection is established from initiator to target. To enable transparent use of FCP, the operating system maps a TID to each AL-PA. The host maps SCSI protocol to Fibre Channel protocol and detects and accesses Fibre Channelconnected devices using device files (/dev/dsk/ c*t*d* and /dev/rdsk/c*t*d*) in the same way as for SCSI-connected devices. The device files for Fibre Channelconnected devices are configured in a different way from SCSI-connected devices, because Fibre Channel supports 126 addresses per path while SCSI supports 16 TIDs per path. Table 12 (page 93) identifies the fixed mappings between the TID (drive) values assigned by the operating system and the Fibre Channel native addresses (AL_PA/SEL_ID) for Fibre Channel adapters. The controller number (the dks value in /dev/dsk/dks*d*l*s*) depends on the server configuration, and a different value is assigned per each column of table 12 (page 93). The mapping cannot be guaranteed under the following conditions: when disk array devices and other types of devices are connected in the same loop when information for unused devices remains in the server system when multiple ports participate in the same arbitrated loop

Table 13 and table 14 identify the fixed mappings between the bus/TID/ LUN addresses assigned by the operating system and the FC native addresses (AL_PA/SEL_ID) for FC adapters. There are two potential mappings, depending on the value of the ScanDown registry parameter: For ScanDown = 0 (default), see table 13 (page 95). For ScanDown = 1, see table 14 (page 100). When disk array devices and other types of devices are connected in the same arbitrated loop, the mappings defined in table 13 and table 14 cannot be guaranteed. Emulex The Emulex driver emulates six Fibre busses per adapter to map all 126 possible AL-PAs to target IDs. The first bus (bus 0) is a dummy bus.

Table notes: 1. Modes 00/10 are used for Windows NT and Windows 2000 (non-HP FC HBAs and all NT SCSIs), Solaris, DEC, and AIX FWD SCSI. 2. These host modes are not supported in Fibre Channel environment. 3. Mode 08 is used for FC-AL on HP-UX, SCSI on MPE/iX, Windows 2000, and NT FC with HP HBAs. Mode 08 allows a queue depth of 1024 and 120 (XP256); 256 (XP512) LUNs per port. 4. Enabling Veritas host mode also requires enabling system mode 19 via the service processor (SVP) in addition to setting the host mode for the port. This activity is no longer required as of 43-12 microcode. Contact your HP representative for assistance with this procedure.

SNMP REMOTE DISK ARRAY MANAGEMENT
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a part of the TCP/IP protocol suite that supports maintenance functions for storage and communication devices. The disk array uses SNMP to transfer status and management commands to a PC server or open-system host via the remote console PC. When the SNMP manager requests status information or when a remote service information message (R-SIM) is generated, the SNMP agent on the remote console PC notifies the SNMP manager on the PC server or opensystem host. R-SIM reporting enables the user to monitor the disk array from the PC server or open-system host without having to check the remote console PC for R-SIMs.
115
Figure 1. SNMP Information Flow
The SNMP agent on the remote console PC can perform error reporting operations for up to eight disk arrays. The SNMP agent only initiates trap operations, which alert the SNMP manager when an R-SIM occurs. The SNMP manager, which resides on the PC server or open-system host, requests information from the SNMP agent and receives the R-SIM traps from the SNMP agent. For assistance with SNMP manager configuration on the PC server or open-system host, please refer to the vendors documentation for the SNMP management software, or contact the vendors technical support.

ONLINE INSTALLATION AND DEINSTALLATION OF DEVICES
After initial installation and configuration of the disk array, additional devices can be installed or deinstalled online without having to restart the system. After online installation, the device parameters for new volumes must be changed to match the LUs defined under the same Fibre Channel port. Related Information For additional instructions regarding online installation and deinstallation of LUs, see the following product manual: HP Surestore LUN Configuration Manager XP: Users Guide

GLOSSARY
ACA ACP HP Surestore Asynchronous Continuous Access XP. Array Control Processor. The ACP handles the passing of data between the cache and the physical drives held in the DKUs. ACPs work in pairs, providing a total of 8 SCSI buses. Each SCSI bus associated with one ACP is paired with a SCSI bus on the other ACP pair element. In the event of an ACP failure, the redundant ACP takes control. Both ACPs work together sharing the load. Arbitrated loop. Arbitrated loop physical address The ratio of allocated storage capacity versus total capacity as a percentage. Allocated storage refers to those LDevs that have Paths assigned to them. The allocated storage capacity is the sum of the storage of these LDevs. Total capacity refers to the sum of the capacity of all Ldevs on the Array. The number of physical disk drives contained in a RAID group. This number depends on the RAID configuration. For example, there may be two or four physical disks in a RAID1 group. There are four physical disks in a RAID5 group. The HP Surestore Business Copy XP software program that lets you maintain up to nine internal copies of logical volumes on the disk array.

CA ca cache
The HP Surestore Continuous Access XP software program that lets you create and maintain duplicate copies of the data store on a local disk array. Cache. Very high speed memory that is used to speed I/O transaction time. All reads and writes to the XP array family are sent to the cache. The data is buffered there until the transfer to/from physical disks (with slower data throughput) is complete. The benefit of cache memory is that it speeds I/O throughput to the application. The larger the cache size, the greater amount of data buffering can occur and the greater throughput to the applications. The XP array family supports between 1-16 GB of cache memory. In the event of power loss, the contents of the cache boards are battery backed in order to survive up to 48 hours.

configuration file consistency group ID (CTGID) control unit
A file that defines the pair configurations. The group identifier for which the disk array guarantees the sequence of asynchronous data transfer for the asynchronous CA volume group. To organize the storage space attached to the DKC, you can group similarly configured logical devices (LDEVs) with unique control unit images (CUs). CUs are numbered sequentially. The XP256 supports up to 4 CUs. The XP512/48 supports up to 16 CUs. Each CU is able to manage up to 256 LDEVs. Therefore, to uniquely identify a particular LDEV requires both the CU number as well as the LDEV number.
