Page 13: Lun Manager For The Xp128/Xp1024
LUN Manager for the XP128/XP1024 You can connect XP arrays to open system and mainframe hosts using iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface), Fibre Channel, and Network Attached Storage (NAS). Use LUN Manager to configure host groups, logical units (LUs), and Fibre Channel and NAS ports. You can also configure NAS cache settings. -

• Up to 255 hosts can be included in all the host groups for one Fibre Channel port • Up to 16 hosts can be included in all the host groups for one iSCSI port Configuring LU paths in a Fibre Channel environment Before defining LU paths, you must classify server hosts by host storage domains. -

1, the LUs associated with the hg-lnx domain are addressed by numbers 0 to 2. The address number of an LU is referred to as the logical unit number (LUN). When HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP and other optional features manipulate LUs, they use LUNs to specify the LUs to be manipulated. -

If LUN security is disabled, the hosts will not be able to access most of the LUs. Hosts will have access to only those LUs defined in host group 0. By default, LUN security is disabled on a port, so host group 0 is the only accessible host group reserved for the port. -

Page 22: Data Transfer Speed For Fibre Channel Ports
Data transfer speed for Fibre Channel ports As disk array operation continues, you may notice that a larger amount of data is transferred at some ports and a smaller amount is transferred at other ports. To improve system performance, set a faster data transfer speed for ports where a larger amount of data is transferred, and a slower data transfer speed for ports where a smaller amount of data is transferred. -

An iSCSI alias can contain up to 32 characters. iSCSI aliases can include letters, numbers, periods (.), hyphens (-), and colons (:), and cannot include double-byte characters. iSCSI aliases are case sensitive; for example, MyPort and myport are different iSCSI aliases. •... -
Page 25: Host Authentication
• Host authentication settings • On the disk array: Use LUN Manager to specify whether to perform host authentication on each port. On a port that performs authentication, register the user information (iSCSI name, user name, and secret) for the hosts that are allowed to connect to the port. - Page 26 Each case in Figure 8 is explained below. • When connecting via a port that performs host authentication: • If the user information of the host is registered on the port and host authentication is enabled (Case A): The port authenticates the user information sent from the host. If the host authentication is successful, then: If the host is configured for mutual authentication, processing continues with port authentication.

Page 27: Port Authentication (Performing Mutual Authentication)
Figure 9 provides an overview of user authentication. In this figure, iSCSI names of host bus adapters (HBAs) are abbreviated as a, b, and so on. Figure 9 Overview of user authentication In this example, port 1 performs host authentication while port 2 does not. The user information of Host A is registered on port 1, and the authentication setting is enabled. -

Page 59: Parity Group Configuration
This section explains the parity group configuration of emulation types other than OPEN-V. OPEN-V volumes always consist of variable sized volumes instead of fixed-size volumes (FVs). To use OPEN-V, parity groups must be enabled to support the OPEN-V emulation type. To enable OPEN-V, contact your HP account support representative. -

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. Each VDEV in a parity group has the same configuration, and is assigned the same FVs of the same size and RAID level. VSC functions (Volume to Space, Install CV, Volume Initialize, and Make Volume) are performed on each VDEV. -
Page 61: Restrictions
Restrictions • The LDEV must not have a path definition, including TrueCopy (TC390), Continuous Access XP, ShadowImage (SI390), Business Copy (BC), and Continuous Access XP Journal pair volumes. • The LDEV must not be a component of a LUSE volume.
