  • Page 15: Fibre Channel Interface

    SCSI-FC Fabric Router The HP e3000 supports the A5814A-003 SCSI-FC Fabric Router hardware, which enables an HP e3000 with HVD SCSI HBAs to connect to a disk array with a Fibre Channel interface. The router converts data between the SCSI I/O interface at the host server and the Fibre Channel I/O interface at the disk array.

  • Page 16: Device Types

    The XP family of disk arrays supports many standard software products that provide host, application, or I/O path failover and management. The HP e3000 system supports I/O path failover for the disk arrays by means of the MPE/iX High Availability FailOver/iX software product.

  • Page 17: Raid Manager Command Devices

    RAID Manager command devices RAID Manager manages Business Copy (BC) or Continuous Access (CA) operations from a host server. To use RAID Manager with BC or CA, you use Remote Web Console, Command View, or Command View XP Advanced Edition to designate at least one LDEV as a command device. Refer to the applicable user’s guide for information about how to designate a command device.

    If you plan to use Fibre Channel switches to create a SAN environment, install them according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you plan to connect to the disk arrays using HP e3000 SCSI HBAs (HVD required), install the required A5814A-003 SCSI-FC Fabric Routers according to the instructions in the SCSI-Fibre Channel Router Installation and User Guide.

  • Page 29: Storage Capacity Per Path

    Storage capacity per path An important difference between MPE/iX and other operating systems (such as HP-UX) is the determination of disk capacity on a path. MPE/iX is very sensitive to spindle count (LUNs) per path. If this count exceeds 16 per bus or path, performance problems may result.

  • Page 30: Load The Os Software

    Load the OS software For an existing host requiring an OS update before installing the array, follow the instructions in the HP e3000 MPE/iX System Software Maintenance Manual to install or to update the OS. The OS must be MPE/iX 7.0 or MPE/iX 7.5.

  • Page 31: Configure The Disk Array Devices In Mpe/Ix

    Configure the disk array devices in MPE/iX Use either the SYSGEN utility program or the IOCONFIG utility command to perform I/O configuration of the new XP disk array devices for the MPE/iX OS. The SYSGEN utility allows you to prepare a new I/O configuration for the system, but the new configuration does not take effect until the system is rebooted.

    Booting from the array In order to use a native Fibre Channel-connected disk array as MPE/iX Ldev 1 (the boot disk) to load, boot, and run the OS software, you must know the primary I/O boot path leading to the desired LUN in the XP disk array.
  • Page 52 If the system does not already have an MPE/iX Release 7.5 OS installed, and the disk array you want to use for MPE/iX Ldev 1 is native Fibre Channel and directly cabled to the host HP e3000 system (no Fibre Channel switch), then use the following procedure.
  • Page 53 SAN-connected (through a Fibre Channel switch) to the host HP e3000 system, then use the following procedure. • You CANNOT use the MAPPER2 facility to determine the I/O paths for the disk array. MAPPER2 will not be able to recognize and report the LUNs of the disk array on the Fibre Channel switch.
