Page 17: Determining Who Will Install And Configure The Storage System
Storage management experience is required to successfully install and configure this product. If you are not familiar with installing and configuring storage array systems, HPE can install this product for you.

Page 18: Planning The Storage Configuration
Planning the storage configuration Proper planning of the system storage and its subsequent performance is critical to a successful deployment of the drive enclosure. Improper planning or implementation can result in wasted storage space, degraded performance, or inability to expand the system to meet growing storage needs. Storage planning considerations include: •... -
Page 19: Preparing The Site
LFF 7.2K drives: two pairs of six or 12 drives in RAID 6 Disk drive sizes and types The HPE StoreVirtual 3200 Storage system configuration should include disk drives of the same size and performance capability. When different drive types are installed in an enclosure, the usable capacity and the processing ability of the entire storage system is affected. - Page 20 For protection against a power-source failure, obtain and include two uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in your installation. See the following URL for a list of available UPS: https:// www.hpe.com/us/en/product-catalog/servers/uninterruptible-power-system.html. For power consumption specifications, see the HPE StoreVirtual 3200 Storage QuickSpecs. Prepare for installation...

Page 21: Install The Hardware
Install the hardware Install the following hardware components: • Rail kit • Enclosure • Disk drives • Cables Installing the rail kits Procedure 1. Identify the rack locations for the enclosures. 2. Loosen the back bracket on the standard rail kit to accommodate the enclosure. Attach the rear hold down brackets by sliding the tab with the arrow pointed forward (1) into the corresponding slot on the left and right side of the rear of the chassis. - Page 22 4. Use guide pins to align the shelf mount kit to theEIA column holes. 5. To engage the rail to the rear of the rack, push the rail toward the back of the rack until the spring hook snaps into place. 6.

8. Secure the front of the rail to the front EIA column using the flat securing screw/guide pin (provided in the package) in the bottom screw position of the rail. Installing the enclosure CAUTION: Install disk drives in the enclosure only after mounting the enclosure in the rack. An enclosure with disk drives installed is too heavy to lift safely. - Page 24 • The array enclosure installed on the top. • SFF drive enclosures installed below the array enclosure. • LFF drive enclosures installed below the SFF drive enclosures. If you put the array enclosure on top, the numbering will start at the top, which can be more intuitive and helpful.

Page 25: Installing Disk Drives
Installing disk drives Depending on the types of disk drives being used, the following number of drives can be installed in a single enclosure: • LFF: 12 drives • SFF: 25 drives CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, operate the enclosure only when all bays are populated with either a component or a drive blank. -
Page 26: Installing A Disk Drive
Installing a disk drive CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, operate the enclosure only when either a disk drive or a drive blank is installed in every bay. Procedure 1. Remove the drive blank. Removing an SFF drive blank is similar to the example shown for the LFF drive blank. -

Page 28: Cabling Best Practices
Procedure 1. Connect the StoreVirtual 3000 drive enclosures to the array enclosure (if included). 2. Connect the array enclosure to the network and hosts. 3. Connect the power cords to the system components. Cabling best practices • Use the shortest possible cable between devices. Shorter cables reduce the possibility of signal degradation that might occur over longer distances. - Page 29 For iSCSI configurations, the host must have two Ethernet ports capable of accessing the StoreVirtual 3200 bonded interface to facilitate the transfer of iSCSI data between the host and the array. For Fibre Channel configurations, the host must have two Fibre Channel ports zoned to have access to the StoreVirtual 3200 storage controllers.
- Page 30 two or four interfaces. The system supports two 10GbE/10GBase-T interfaces in a bond and two 1GbE interfaces in a bond. No additional network switch configuration is required. • Link aggregation (802.3ad) – Link aggregation bonds provide a single logical interface with the sum of the bandwidth of the physical network interfaces.
- Page 31 Controller with a 10GbE card 1. Option card 10GbE ports 2. Built-in 1G ports On a 10GbE system, only the 10GbE interfaces are bonded in the Configuration setup. The 1GbE ports can be put in a separate bond later. The 10GbE and 1GbE interfaces must be on different subnets but can be used simultaneously by assigning different traffic types to the bonds.
- Page 32 Controller with a Fibre Channel card 1. Option card Fibre Channel ports 2. Built-in 1G ports The built-in 1G ports are bonded and share a subnet mask. Fibre Channel ports do not require IP addresses, so no bonding is necessary. Network configuration for array enclosure with 1 GbE controller modules (two port) All iSCSI, Remote Copy, and Management traffic are routed through these two ports.
- Page 33 Servers 1 GbE iSCSI SAN SV3200 Figure 18: Configuration using four 1 GbE ports and one switch Network configuration for array enclosure with 1 GbE controller modules (four ports) All iSCSI, Remote Copy, and Management traffic are routed through these four ports. The 1 GbE ports are bonded together for redundancy and performance during the Configuration Setup procedure.

The drive enclosures must be connected to the array enclosure using an asymmetric cabling scheme as shown in the following figures.
- Page 37 1. Connect DP-1 on the storage controller in slot 1 to DP-1 on the I/O module in slot 1 of the drive enclosure. 2. Connect DP-1 on the storage controller in slot 2 to DP-1 on the I/O module in slot 2 of the drive enclosure.

Windows Server 2016 defaults to Round Robin with Subset. VMware ESXi 6.0 uses the Round Robin Path Selection Policy by default. - Page 40 Connection Method Level of Protection Connected to: Protects from downtime when one of the enclosure power supplies fails. Protects from data loss when one of the power sources fails, due to a pulled One power source cable or tripped breaker. The remaining power supply/fan module can operate the enclosure until you install a replacement module.
