Page 30: I/O Expansion Modules
Each RAID controller module can support up to 1 gigabyte of Sychronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) with Error Control Check (ECC) memory. In addition, each controller supports 64 megabytes (Mbyte) of on-board memory. Two Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) controller chips handle the interconnection between the controller bus, DRAM memory, and Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) internal buses.
Page 31: Battery Module
In the event of a single disk drive failure, with the exception of RAID 0, the system continues to service all I/O requests. Either the mirrored data or parity data is utilized in the rebuilding of the failed drives data to a spare disk drive, assuming one is assigned.
Page 32: Fibre Channel Technology Overview
Note – For information about supported versions of these operating environments, refer to the release notes for your array. The array does not require any host-based software for configuration, management, and monitoring, which are handled through the built-in firmware application. The console window can be accessed via the DB-9 communications (COM) port using the command, or via the Ethernet port using the telnet command.
Page 33: Fc Topologies
1.4.2 FC Topologies The presence or lack of switches establishes the topology of an FC environment. In a direct attached storage (DAS) topology, servers connect straight to arrays without switches. In a storage area network (SAN) topology, servers and arrays connect to an FC network created and managed by switches.
Page 34: Scalability
Controller communications over Fibre Channel. Selectable either through dedicated loops or all drive loops. This allows a more flexible configuration of redundant controllers. 1.4.5 Scalability The Fibre Channel architecture brings scalability and easier upgrades to storage. Storage expansion can be as easy as cascading another expansion unit to a configured RAID array without powering down the running system.
Page 35: Disk Drive Fc Architecture
In a dual RAID controller configuration, both RAID controllers have the same channel designators, due to the architecture of the loops within the chassis. Each host and drive channel of the top RAID controller shares a loop with the matching channel on the bottom RAID controller.
Page 36: Redundant Configuration Considerations
1.5.3 Redundant Configuration Considerations This section provides information about setting up redundant configurations for increased reliability. 1.5.3.1 Host Bus Adapters Fibre Channel is widely applied to storage configurations with topologies that aim to avoid loss of data by component failure. As a rule, the connections between source and target should be configured in redundant pairs.
Page 37: Additional Software Tools
Additional Software Tools The following additional software tools are available on the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Professional Storage Manager CD, provided with your array: Sun StorEdge Configuration Service, a management and monitoring program Sun StorEdge Diagnostic Reporter software, a monitoring utility Sun StorEdge CLI, a command-line utility to monitor and manage the array.

Page 67: Changing Your Sfp Configuration
Default SFP Placement Default JBOD Expansion Unit SFP Placement FIGURE 4-10 4.6.3 Changing Your SFP Configuration Fibre Channel arrays use SFP connectors to attach to hosts and expansion units. These SFP connectors resemble the one shown in , with a single connector FIGURE 4-11 at the end that plugs into an SFP port on the array or expansion unit chassis, and a duplex jack into which you insert a cable to make the connection.
Page 68: Configuring A Com Port To Connect To A Raid Array
Configuring a COM Port to Connect to a RAID Array The RS-232 COM port on either controller module is used to configure and monitor the RAID array. It can be connected to a VT100 terminal or terminal emulation program, to a terminal server, or to the serial port of a server. 1.
Page 69 Caution – If you assign an IP address to an array to manage it out-of-band, for security reasons make sure that the IP address is on a private network rather than a publicly routable network. There are two main reasons for placing your arrays on a private subnet: When your array is on a public network, it is susceptible to viruses, worms, and other malware attacks.
Page 70: Setting Up Out-Of-Band Management Over Ethernet
Note – You must reset the controller for the configuration to take effect. You are prompted to reset the controller. 10. Select Yes to reset the controller. The controller takes a few minutes to format a small storage sector on each physical drive before logical drives can be successfully initialized.
Page 71: Cabling To Expansion Units
5. Press Ctrl-L to refresh the screen and view the Main Menu. Note – If you reset the controller during a telnet session, you are disconnected from the RAID array. Use the telnet command to log back in to the array. 6.

Page 77: Connecting Ports To Hosts
9. Use the key to lock both bezel locks. 4.12 Connecting Ports to Hosts In a default array configuration, channels 0, 1, 4, and 5 are host channels, so you can directly connect an FC array to four host computers. SFP connectors are plugged into channels 0 and 4 on the upper controller and channels 1 and 5 on the lower controller for this purpose.

Page 80: Controller Defaults And Limitations
Subsequent chapters in this manual describe further procedures used to complete the installation and configuration of FC arrays. The flexible architecture of the Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array makes many configurations possible. Controller Defaults and Limitations This section describes default configurations and certain controller limitations. 5.1.1 Planning for Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability...
Page 81: Dual-Controller Considerations
5.1.2 Dual-Controller Considerations The following controller functions describe the redundant controller operation. Both controllers must be exactly the same. They must operate with the same firmware version, the same size of memory, and the same number of host and drive channels. If one controller in a dual-controller configuration is replaced with a field-replaceable unit (FRU) controller, the array automatically compares the firmware versions of the two controllers.
Page 82: Single-Controller Considerations
5.1.3 Single-Controller Considerations In a single-controller configuration, keep the controller as the primary controller at all times and assign all logical drives to the primary controller. The primary controller controls all logical drive and firmware operations. In a single-controller configuration, the controller must be the primary controller or the controller cannot operate.
Page 83: Table 5-1 Battery Status Indicators
A battery module whose status shows one or more + signs can support cache memory for 72 hours. As long as one or more + signs are displayed, your battery is performing correctly. Battery Status Indicators TABLE 5-1 Battery Display Description ----- Discharged;...
Page 84: Write-Back And Write-Through Cache Options
5.2.2 Write-Back and Write-Through Cache Options Unfinished writes are cached in memory in write-back mode. If power to the array is discontinued, data stored in the cache memory is not lost. Battery modules can support cache memory for 72 hours. Write cache is not automatically disabled when the battery is offline due to battery failure or a disconnected battery.
Page 85: Configuration Overview
Configuration Overview The Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array is preconfigured and requires minimal configuration. All procedures can be performed by using the COM port. You can perform all procedures except the assignment of an IP address through an Ethernet port connection to a management console. The typical sequence of steps for completing a first-time configuration of the array is 1.
Page 86 of the single controller. If you disable the Redundant Controller Function and reconfigure the controller with the Autoconfigure option or as a secondary controller, the controller module becomes inoperable and will need to be replaced. Note – While the ability to create and manage logical volumes remains a feature of Sun StorEdge 3000 family FC and SCSI RAID arrays for legacy reasons, the size and performance of physical and logical drives have made the use of logical volumes obsolete.
Page 87: Point-To-Point Configuration Guidelines
Note – Resetting the controller can result in occasional host-side error messages such as parity error and synchronous error messages. No action is required and the condition corrects itself as soon as reinitialization of the controller is complete. 14. Save the configuration to a disk. See “Saving Configuration (NVRAM) to a Disk”...
Page 88 The controller displays a warning if the user is in point-to-point mode and tries to add an ID to the same channel but on the other controller. The warning is displayed because you have the ability to disable the internal connection between the channels on the primary and secondary controller using the set inter- controller link CLI command and, by doing this, you can have one ID on the primary and another ID on the secondary as a legal operation.

Page 286 Logical Volume Manager Volume Groups Logical Volumes Physical Volumes Paging Space Volume groups are a way of dividing and allocating disk storage capacity. Volume groups can be used to subdivide a large partition of storage into smaller units of usable space called logical volumes. Each volume group is divided into logical volumes, which are seen by applications as individual disks.
Page 287 7. Choose Activate a Volume Group from the Volume Groups menu. 8. Next to VOLUME GROUP name, type the name you gave the volume group. When the volume group is activated, a status screen displays “Command: OK.” Creating a Logical Volume 1.

Page 295 Note – To return to the Kermit prompt, type Ctrl \ and then C. To exit Kermit, first return to the Kermit prompt and then type exit. Attaching the Disk Array The simplest way to configure a disk array is to use System Administration Manager (SAM), HP-UX’s system administration tool.
Page 296 Logical Volume Manager The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a disk management system provided by HP in all versions of HP-UX 11. The LVM allows you to manage storage as logical volumes. This section describes some concepts used by the LVM and explains how to create logical volumes on your Sun StorEdge 3510 FC Array.
Page 297 Creating a Physical Volume To use a storage resource in the LVM, it must first be initialized into a physical volume (also called an LVM disk). Log in as root, or su to root if you are not logged in with root user privileges. 1.
Page 298 1. Create a directory for the volume group and a device file for the group in that directory: mkdir /dev/vgmynewvg mknod /dev/vgmynewvg/group c 64 0x060000 The name of the directory is the name of the volume group. By default, HP-UX uses names of the format vgNN, but you can choose any name that is unique within the list of volume groups.
Page 299 PE Size (Mbytes) Total PE 2167 Alloc PE Free PE 2167 Total PVG In the output of vgdisplay, the Total PE field gives the number of physical extents in the volume group. The size of each physical extent is given in the PE Size field (the default is 4 MB), so the total capacity of this volume group is 2167 x 4 MB = 8668 MB.
Page 300 Creating an HP-UX File System The following command creates a file system on the logical volume created in the previous steps. # /sbin/newfs -F vxfs /dev/vgmynewvg/rlvol1 J.10 Mounting the File System Manually The process of incorporating a file system into the existing directory structure is known as “mounting the file system.”...
