    C H A P T E R Site Planning This chapter outlines the site-planning requirements and basic safety requirements for the installation and use of Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI arrays. Customers are asked to complete a “Preinstallation Worksheet” on page 2-7 and to prepare the site for installation according to the worksheet details and the specified site planning requirements.
  • Page 22: Customer Obligations

    Customer Obligations The customer is obliged to inform Sun Microsystems, Inc. of any and all ordinances and regulations that would affect installation. Caution – When selecting an installation site for the Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI array, choose a location that avoids excessive heat, direct sunlight, dust, or chemical exposure.
  • Page 23: Environmental Requirements

    To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not plug Sun products into any other type of power system. Sun products are designed to work with single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral conductor. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you are not sure what type of power is supplied to your building.
  • Page 24: Electrical And Power Specifications

    The supplied arrays require voltages within minimum fluctuation. The facilities voltage supplied by the customer must maintain a voltage of not more than (+/–) 5 percent. The customer facilities must provide suitable surge protection. Electrical and Power Specifications All Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI arrays require two independent power sources. Each array has two power-supply-and-fan modules for redundancy.

  • Page 43: Single And Dual Drive-Bus Configurations

    Single and Dual Drive-Bus Configurations The drive-bus configuration determines how drives and drive IDs are assigned to drive channels on the controller. A single-bus configuration assigns all disk drive IDs in a controller to one channel (typically CH 0 for the RAID array and CH 2 for an expansion unit). A dual-bus configuration assigns half the disk drive IDs to CH 0 and the other half to CH 2 in the RAID array, and then typically adds additional disk drive IDs to both CH 0 and CH2 when it is connected to an expansion unit.

  • Page 60 Caution – If you assign an IP address to an array in order 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 61 4. To connect the Sun StorEdge Configuration Service program (on a host server) to a RAID array which has an IP address, refer to the out-of-band management instructions in the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Software Configuration Service User’s Guide. In the following network illustration, two servers receive Sun StorEdge Configuration Service Alert messages, and a Sun StorEdge Configuration Service management console monitors and configures the RAID array as needed.

  • Page 64: Controller Defaults And Limitations

    Controller Defaults and Limitations 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.
  • Page 65: Single-Controller Considerations

    Note – Logical volumes, an alternative to logical drives, are unsuited to some modern configurations such as Sun Cluster environments, and do not work in those configurations. Use logical drives instead. For more information see “First-Time Controller Configuration” on page 5-6.
  • Page 66: Battery Operation

    Battery Operation The battery LED (on far right side of the controller module) is an amber LED if the battery is bad or missing. The LED is blinking green if the battery is charging and is solid green when the battery is fully charged. 5.3.1 Battery Status The initial firmware screen displays the battery status at the top of the initial screen...
  • Page 67: Write-Back Versus Write-Through Cache Options

    Note – The RAID controller has a temperature sensor which shuts off battery charging above 54 degrees C. When this happens, the battery status may be reported as BAD, but no alarm is written to the event log since no actual battery failure has occurred.
  • Page 68: First-Time Controller Configuration

    With in-band SCSI host connections, you can use the Sun StorEdge Configuration Service software or CLI software. Refer to the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Configuration Service User Guide for in-band setup procedures. First-Time Controller Configuration Sun StorEdge 3310 SCSI arrays are preconfigured and require minimal configuration. summarizes the typical series of procedures for completing a first-time TABLE 5-2 RAID controller configuration.
  • Page 69: Viewing The Initial Firmware Windows 5-7

    Note – For security reasons, only a single monitoring and management session is allowed for a firmware connection to an array. When the firmware is accessed more than once at the same time--either in-band and out-of-band, or through multiple out- of band sessions, both screens are synchronized and both users will interfere with each other's operations.
  • Page 70: Configuring Scsi Channels As Host Or Drive (Optional)

    The firmware procedures use the term “Choose” as a shortcut description. Quotation marks are used to indicate a specific menu option or a series of menu options. Procedure Meaning Choose “menu option” Highlight the menu option and press Return. Press the key that corresponds to the capitalized letter in the menu option if one is available.
  • Page 71 To change the use of a SCSI channel, reconfigure the channel according to the following procedure. 1. Choose “view and edit Scsi channels” from the Main Menu. The communications path for the controllers is displayed as “RCCOM (Redundant Controller Communications).” 2.
  • Page 72: Creating Additional Host Ids (Optional)

    Caution – The channels of redundant controllers must be the same. For example, if the primary controller uses channel 2 to connect to a group of drives, the secondary controller must also use channel 2 to connect to the same group of drives. Changes to the primary controller are automatically made to the secondary controller.
  • Page 73: Selecting Sequential Or Random Optimization

    6. Select the controller on which you want to add a host ID. 7. Choose an ID number for that controller. A confirmation dialog is displayed. Note – To create a total of 128 LUNs, you must have a minimum of four host IDs (two each for Channels 1 and 3) and might have a maximum of six host IDs (two each for Channels 1 and 2, and 3).
  • Page 74: Maximum Number Of Disks And Maximum Usable Capacity For Random And Sequential Optimization

    Note – Your array is preconfigured for Sequential Optimization. If Random Optimization is most appropriate for your use, you will need to delete all of the preconfigured logical drives, change the optimization mode, and then create new logical drives. The type of application the array is working with determines whether Random or Sequential I/O should be applied.

    5.6.9 Changing a Logical Drive Controller Assignment (Optional) By default, logical drives are automatically assigned to the primary controller. If you assign half the drives to the secondary controller, the maximum speed and performance is somewhat improved due to the redistribution of the traffic. To balance the workload between both controllers, you can distribute your logical drives between the primary controller (displayed as the Primary ID or PID) and the secondary controller (displayed as the Secondary ID or SID).

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 StorEdge 3310 SCSI array.
  • Page 221: Creating A Physical Volume

    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.

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 chose any name that is unique within the list of volume groups.

    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.
