Page 57: Guidelines For Managing Disks And Volumes
The largest disk that Windows Storage Server 2003 can accommodate from a storage system is 2 TB. • HP does not recommend spanning array controllers with dynamic volumes. • Use meaningful volume labels with the intended drive letter embedded in the volume label, if possible.
Page 58: Scheduling Defragmentation
Only basic disks can be formatted as FAT or FAT32. Scheduling defragmentation The following information applies to all models of the HP ProLiant storage server. Defragmentation is the process of analyzing local volumes and consolidating fragmented ﬁles and folders so that each occupies a single, contiguous space on the volume. This improves ﬁle system performance.
Page 59: Adding Storage
If you choose host presentation during virtual disk creation, the management agent cannot complete any other task until that virtual disk is created and presented. Therefore, HP recommends that you wait until a virtual disk is created before presenting it to a host.
Page 60: Expanding Storage Using The Array Conﬁguration Utility
On the storage server, open Device Manager, right-click on the EVA LUN and select Scan for hardware changes. Open a command prompt and run DiskPart.exe. List the current volumes of the system (List Volumes). Select the volume to be extended (select volume X). Extend the volume (extend [size=n]).

the frequency of changes to each ﬁle is greater than the amount of space allocated to storing shadow copies, no shadow copy is created. Administrators should also consider user expectations of how many versions they will want to have available. End users might expect only a single shadow copy to be available, or they might expect three days or three weeks worth of shadow copies.
Page 65: Determining Creation Frequency
G:\data\users is shared as \\server1\users. In this example, users can access previous versions of \\server1\data and \\server1\users but not \\server1\data\users.

Page 66: The Shadow Copy Cache File
The system administrator can make shadow copies available to end users through a feature called “Shadow Copies for Shared Folders.” The administrator uses the Properties menu (see Figure 24) to turn on the Shadow Copies feature, select the volumes to be copied, and determine the frequency with which shadow copies are made.
Page 67: Enabling And Creating Shadow Copies
After the ﬁrst shadow copy is created, it cannot be relocated. Relocate the cache ﬁle by altering the cache ﬁle location under Properties prior to enabling shadow copy. See "Viewing shadow copy properties" on page 68. HP ProLiant DL380 G5 Storage Server...

Page 70: Smb Shadow Copies
NOTE: Shadow Copies for Shared Folders clients are not available for HTTP, FTP, AppleTalk, or NetWare shares. Consequently, users of these protocols cannot use Shadow Copies for Shared Folders to independently retrieve previous versions of their ﬁles. However, administrators can take advantage of Shadow Copies for Shared Folders to restore ﬁles for these users.

Clients see only a brief interruption of service as the ﬁle share resource transitions from one server node to the other. Requirements for taking advantage of clustering include: • Storage planning • Network planning • Protocol planning HP ProLiant DL380 G5 Storage Server...
Page 122: Storage Planning
In preparing for the cluster installation: • All software components listed in the HP ProLiant Storage Server SAN Connection and Management white paper (located on your server documentation CD) must be installed and the ﬁber cables attached to the HBAs before the cluster installation is started.
Page 123: Preparing For Cluster Installation
If a protocol does not support clustering, the share is not available to the clients until the owner cluster node is brought back online. HP recommends placing cluster aware and non cluster aware protocols on different ﬁle shares. Use the information in Table 16 to determine whether it is advantageous to use clustering.
Page 124: Before Beginning Installation
For clustered products, HP recommends maintaining two paths to the data as pathing software allows for datapath failure to occur without forcing a node failover. Refer to the HP ProLiant Storage Server SAN Connection and Management white paper (located on your server documentation CD) for additional information on multipath software.

Page 134: Permissions And Access Rights On Share Resources
A virtual server is a resource group consisting of an IP Address resource and a Network Name resource. Ownership of these virtual servers should be assigned to the different server nodes. In addition to providing load balancing capabilities, the virtual server allows for the transition of group resources in failover situations.

Do not power up the cluster nodes without ﬁrst powering up the storage subsystem, and verifying it is operating normally. Nodes should be powered up separately allowing one node to form the cluster prior to powering up the additional node(s). To power up the cluster nodes: HP ProLiant DL380 G5 Storage Server...
Page 140: Additional Information And References For Cluster Services
After the storage subsystem is conﬁrmed to be operating normally, power up a single node. Wait for the node to come completely up before powering up the subsequent node. If more than one node is powered up at the same time, the ﬁrst node that completes the sequence gains ownership of the cluster quorum and controls the cluster database.

It is very important to understand the differences between the load-balancing methods when deploying HP ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming in an environment that requires load balancing of routed Layer 3 trafﬁc. Because the methods use conversations to load balance, the resulting trafﬁc may not be distributed equally across all ports in the team.
Page 151: Tcp Connection
It load balances every outbound frame of every operational teamed port on a frame–by-frame basis. Absolutely no frame ordering is maintained. All teamed ports are equally used. HP recommends that the implications of this method of load balancing be carefully considered before deployment.
