Page 22: Using The Remote Desktop Method
Figure 2 HP Storage Server Management console Using the Remote Desktop method Remote Desktop provides the ability for you to log onto and remotely administer your server, giving you a method of managing it from any client. Installed for remote administration, Remote Desktop allows only two concurrent sessions.
Page 23: Logging Off And Disconnecting
Logging off and disconnecting Remote Desktop provides two options when closing a client: you can either disconnect or log off the system. Disconnecting leaves the session running on the server. You can reconnect to the server and resume the session. If you are performing a task on the server, you can start the task and disconnect from the session. Later, you can log back on the server, re-enter the session, and either resume the task or check results.
Page 24 The Integrated Lights-Out port on the storage server can be conﬁgured through the Rapid Startup Wizard or through the iLO 2 ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). SNMP is enabled and the Insight Management Agents are preinstalled. The HP iLO 2 management processor provides multiple ways to conﬁgure, update, operate, and manage servers remotely.
Page 25: Conﬁguring The Server On The Network
Conﬁguring the server on the network Before you begin When ﬁrst powering on the storage server you need to have some conﬁguration data readily available to complete the Rapid Startup Wizard. Complete the Server conﬁguration worksheet and use the data collected to initialize the storage server.

Page 31: Arrays
Arrays Figure 4. With an array controller installed in the system, the capacity of several physical drives (P1–P3) can be logically combined into one or more logical units (L1) called arrays. When this is done, the read/write heads of all the constituent physical drives are active simultaneously, dramatically reducing the overall time required for data transfer.
Page 32: Logical Storage Elements
To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, storage servers should be conﬁgured with fault tolerance. HP recommends adhering to RAID 5 conﬁgurations. The table below summarizes the important features of the different kinds of RAID supported by the Smart Array controllers.
Page 33: Partitions
gl0045 Figure 6 Two arrays (A1, A2) and ﬁve logical drives (L1 through L5) spread over ﬁve physical drives NOTE: This type of conﬁguration may not apply to all storage servers and serves only as an example. Through the use of basic disks, primary partitions or extended partitions can be created. Partitions can only encompass one LUN.
Page 34: File Sharing Elements
NOTE: Dynamic disks cannot be used for clustering conﬁgurations because Microsoft Cluster only supports basic disks. File system elements File system elements are composed of the folders and subfolders that are created under each logical storage element (partitions, logical disks, and volumes). Folders are used to further subdivide the available ﬁle system, providing another level of granularity for management of the information space.
Page 35: Network Adapter Teaming
CAUTION: AppleTalk shares should not be created on clustered resources as this is not supported by Microsoft Clustering, and data loss may occur. Network names and IP address resources for the clustered ﬁle share resource can also be established for access across a network to a variety of clients.

If defragmenting volumes on which shadow copies are enabled, use a cluster (or allocation unit) size of 16 KB or larger during the format. Otherwise defragmentation registers as a change by the Shadow Copy process. This increase in the number of changes forces Shadow Copy to delete snapshots as the limit for the cache ﬁle is reached.
Page 43: Expanding Storage
• Add new LUNs to the system. The additional space is then extended through a variety of means, depending on which type of disk structure is in use. NOTE: This section addresses only single storage server node conﬁgurations. If your server has Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition, see the Cluster Administration chapter for expanding and extending storage in a cluster environment.

of snapshots is the ability to instantly recover data from shadow copies, reducing the number of times needed to restore data from tape. Shadow copy planning Before setup is initiated on the server and the client interface is made available to end users, consider the following: •...
Page 46: Identifying The Storage Area
NOTE: Regardless of the volume space that is allocated for shadow copies, there is a maximum of 64 shadow copies for any volume. When the 65th shadow copy is taken, the oldest shadow copy is purged. The minimum amount of storage space that can be speciﬁed is 350 megabytes (MB). The default storage size is 10 percent of the source volume (the volume being copied).

snapshot. Otherwise, the number of changes caused by the defragmentation process can cause shadow copies to be deleted faster than expected. Note, however, that NTFS compression is supported only if the cluster size is 4 KB or smaller. NOTE: To check the cluster size of a volume, use the fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo command. To change the cluster size on a volume that contains data, back up the data on the volume, reformat it using the new cluster size, and then restore the data.

cache file cache file cache file Figure 9 Shadow copies stored on a separate volume The main advantage to storing shadow copies on a separate volume is ease of management and performance. Shadow copies on a source volume must be continually monitored and can consume space designated for ﬁle sharing.
Page 50: Viewing A List Of Shadow Copies
Viewing a list of shadow copies To view a list of shadow copies on a volume: Access Disk Management. Select the volume or logical drive, then right-click on it. Select Properties. Select Shadow Copies tab. All shadow copies are listed, sorted by the date and time they were created. NOTE: It is also possible to create new shadow copies or delete shadow copies from this page.
Page 51: Disabling Shadow Copies
Access Disk Management. Select the volume or logical drive, then right-click on it. Select Properties. Select the Shadow Copies tab. Select the volume that you want to redirect shadow copies from and ensure that shadow copies are disabled on that volume; if enabled, click Disable. Click Settings.
Page 52: Shadow Copies For Shared Folders
Figure 10 Accessing shadow copies from My Computer Shadow Copies for Shared Folders Shadow copies are accessed over the network by supported clients and protocols. There are two sets of supported protocols, SMB and NFS. All other protocols are not supported; this would include HTTP, FTP, AppleTalk, and NetWare Shares.
Page 53: Nfs Shadow Copies
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders preserves the permissions set in the access control list (ACL) of the original folders and ﬁles. Consequently, users can only access shadow copies for shares to which they have access. In other words, if a user does not have access to a share, he also does not have access to the share's shadow copies.
Page 54: Recovery Of Files Or Folders
The following example shows an NFS share named “NFSShare” with three shadow copies, taken on April 27, 28, and 29 of 2003 at 4 a.m. NFSShare .@GMT-2003.04.27-04:00:00 .@GMT-2003.04.28-04:00:00 .@GMT-2003.04.29-04:00:00 Access to NFS shadow copy pseudo-subdirectories is governed by normal access-control mechanisms using the permissions stored in the ﬁle system.
Page 55: Recovering An Overwritten Or Corrupted File
Figure 12 Recovering a deleted ﬁle or folder Recovering an overwritten or corrupted ﬁle Recovering an overwritten or corrupted ﬁle is easier than recovering a deleted ﬁle because the ﬁle itself can be right-clicked instead of the folder. To recover an overwritten or corrupted ﬁle: Right-click the overwritten or corrupted ﬁle, and then click Properties.

will not work to back up the previous versions of the ﬁle system. To answer this particular issue, shadow copies are available for back up in two situations. If the backup software in question supports the use of shadow copies and can communicate with underlying block device, it is supported, and the previous version of the ﬁle system will be listed in the backup application as a complete ﬁle system snapshot.
Page 57: Folder Management
NOTE: Select servers can be deployed in a clustered or non-clustered conﬁguration. This section discusses share setup for a non-clustered deployment. Folder management Volumes and folders on any system are used to organize data. Regardless of system size, systematic structuring and naming conventions of volumes and folders eases the administrative burden. Moving from volumes to folders to shares increases the level of granularity of the types of data stored in the unit and the level of security access allowed.

Page 64: Deﬁning Access Control Lists
creating too many shares also has its drawbacks. For example, if it is sufﬁcient to create a single share for user home directories, create a “homes” share rather than creating separate shares for each user. By keeping the number of shares and other resources low, the performance of the storage server is optimized.

a client cannot use the virtual name or virtual IP address to access the share since the protocol cannot failover with the cluster group. The client must wait until the initial node is brought back online to access the share. HP recommends placing cluster aware and non cluster aware protocols on different ﬁle shares.
Page 104: Using Multipath Data Paths For High Availability
Using multipath data paths for high availability HP recommends that cluster conﬁgurations be deployed with dual data paths for high availability. Clusters can be conﬁgured with single path, but if a failure in the path occurs, all of the node resources will be failed to the non-affected node. Pathing software is required in conﬁgurations where multipathing to the storage is desired or required.

Setting up Presented Shut down all nodes. Present the shared shared disks storage, then power on the ﬁrst node.
Page 107: Verifying Connectivity And Name Resolution
Verifying connectivity and name resolution To verify name resolution, ping each node from a client using the node's machine name instead of its IP address. Verifying domain membership All nodes in the cluster must be members of the same domain and able to access a domain controller and a DNS Server.
Page 108: Using Cluster Administrator
Using Cluster Administrator Cluster Administrator shows information about the groups and resources on all of your clusters and speciﬁc information about the clusters themselves. A copy of Cluster Administrator is automatically installed on a cluster node when the Cluster service is installed. Using Cluster Administrator remotely For remote administration, copies of Cluster Administrator can be installed on other computers on your network.

as circumstances require. If the cluster node owning the group of ﬁle shares should be shut down or fail, the other node in the cluster will begin sharing the directories until the original owner node is brought back on line. At that time, ownership of the group and its resources can be brought back to the original owner node.

Page 115: Shutting Down One Cluster Node
Shutting down one cluster node CAUTION: Shutting down a cluster node must be done only after conﬁrming that the other node(s) in the cluster are functioning normally. Adequate warning should be given to users connected to resources of the node being shutdown. Shutting down a cluster node causes all cluster resources served by that node to fail over to the other node(s).
