Setting the limit too low also affects backup programs that use shadow copy technology because these programs are also limited to using the amount of disk space specified by administrators. HP X1000 and X3000 Network Storage System User Guide... -
Page 64: Identifying The Storage Area
NOTE: Regardless of the volume space that is allocated for shadow copies, there is a maximum of 64 shadow copies for any volume. When the 65th shadow copy is taken, the oldest shadow copy is purged. The minimum amount of storage space that can be specified is 350 megabytes (MB). The default storage size is 10 percent of the source volume (the volume being copied). -

NOTE: Select servers can be deployed in a clustered or non-clustered configuration. This section discusses share setup for a non-clustered deployment. Folder management Volumes and folders on any system are used to organize data.

Figure 35 Storage system cluster diagram Cluster terms and components Nodes The most basic parts of a cluster are the servers, referred to as nodes. A server node is any individual server in a cluster, or a member of the cluster. Resources Hardware and software components that are managed by the cluster service are called cluster resources. -
Page 89: Cluster Groups
In addition, if the node can communicate with the node that owns the quorum resource, it can join or remain in the cluster. The Quorum disk maintains data integrity by: HP X1000 and X3000 Network Storage System User Guide... -
Page 90: Cluster Concepts
• Storing the most current version of the cluster database • Guaranteeing that only one set of active communicating nodes is allowed to operate as a cluster Cluster concepts Figure 36 illustrates a typical cluster configuration with the corresponding storage elements. The diagram progresses from the physical disks to the file shares, showing the relationship between both the cluster elements and the physical devices underlying them. -
Page 91: Hierarchy Of Cluster Resource Components
Groups can contain multiple physical disks resources and file shares and nodes can have multiple groups, as shown by the group owned by Node2. Cluster planning Requirements for taking advantage of clustering include: HP X1000 and X3000 Network Storage System User Guide... -
Page 92: Storage Planning
• Storage planning • Network planning • Protocol planning Storage planning For clustering, a basic disk must be designated for the cluster and configured as the Quorum disk. Additional basic disks are presented to each cluster node for data storage as physical disk resources. The physical disk resources are required for the basic disks to successfully work in a cluster environment, protecting it from simultaneous access from each node. -
Page 93: Protocol Planning
The client must wait until the initial node is brought back online to access the share. HP recommends placing cluster aware and non cluster aware protocols on different file shares. Table 15 Sharing protocol cluster support... -
Page 94: Before Beginning Installation
Using multipath data paths for high availability HP recommends that cluster configurations be deployed with dual data paths for high availability. Clusters can be configured with single path, but if a failure in the path occurs, all of the node resources will be failed to the non-affected node. -

• Create a partition with a minimum of 50 megabytes (MB) to be used as a Quorum disk. HP recom- mends a Quorum disk be 500 MB. HP recommends assigning the drive letter Q for the Quorum disk. It is also helpful to label the volume Quorum. -

CAUTION: Presenting other LUNs to the non-clustered system could lead to data corruption.

Assign ownership of the file share resources to the resource groups. Divide ownership of the file share resource between the resource groups, which are in turn distributed between the virtual servers, for effective load balancing. Verify that the physical disk resource for this file share is also included in this group. Verify that the resources are dependent on the virtual servers and physical disk resources from which the file share was created. -

A file share resource must reside in the same cluster group as the physical disk resource it will reside on.
