    TIP: If there is an attention icon, you may still be able to do the upgrade, for example, when leveling is occurring. If any unusual icons are visible, check with HP before doing the upgrade. NOTE: If you must replace any components, see the user guide for your array model for information about replacement.

  • Page 20: Installing San Visibility

    Installing SAN Visibility SAN Visibility is typically installed on the management server running HP Command View EVA. Download SAN Visibility and SAN Visibility documentation from the following website: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/index.html Click SAN Visibility under Networking Solutions and Download Now. Double-click the downloaded file to launch the installation. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
  • Page 21 Select SAN Settings and enter the following information: Enter a name in SAN Name. You can use the default SAN Name, but HP recommends that you change it to a name that is meaningful to you. This name is used when generating reports, so it should be one that is easily recognized as being associated with the SAN on which data collection will be done.
  • Page 22 Click Switch Settings and enter the following information: Enter the IP Address of the primary switch for the SAN for which you want a report. Information will be collected for all devices connected to this switch. Clear Discover connected switches. This option automatically detects all switches connected to the switch identified by the IP address.

  • Page 23: Obtaining A Report From Hp

    Select Customer Details and enter the following information: Enter your name in Name. This information is required. Enter your e-mail address in E-Mail to receive the completed report. This information is required. It is not necessary to have an e-mail address connected to the EVA controller. You should enter the e-mail address where you typically receive e-mail.

If you have external e-mail access from your environment, this is the preferred method. • Manually—Requires you to send your data manually to HP to obtain a SAN Visibility report. If you do not have external e-mail access, use this method. Obtaining a report automatically Click Data Collection.
  • Page 25 Obtaining a report manually The SMTP server IP address of the primary switch on the SAN is obtained by the e-mail address you entered on the Customer Details page. If SAN Visibility does not find the SMTP server or if you want to create a report manually, follow the procedure below: Click Data Collection.

  • Page 26: Reading The Report

    Figure 5 Sample SAN Visibility report Reading the report Save the attached file (.hppr file) to a preferred location. Do not change the file extension. Double-click the saved file to extract the processed report. The processed report is extracted and stored at: <Install_Dir>\ExtractedProcessReports\<SAN Name>\.

  • Page 27: Selecting An Appropriate Time To Perform An Online Upgrade

    NOTE: After completing required upgrades, HP recommends that you create a new SAN Visibility report to verify that all upgrades are were successful. Selecting an appropriate time to perform an online upgrade To ensure the success of an online upgrade, selecting the appropriate time is essential. Because the online firmware upgrade is performed while host I/Os are being serviced, the I/O load can impact the upgrade process.

  • Page 28: Hp Command View Evaperf Command Options

    • Identify a period of time when you anticipate the I/O load on the storage system will be low. This is the window to focus on when running HP Command View EVAPerf to gather I/O data. • Run HP Command View EVAPerf to gather I/O data during the chosen window. For example, if you suspect that I/O load may be low between midnight and 2 AM on Sunday morning, run HP Command View EVAPerf during this period.
  • Page 29 When the command has completed, open the file in an ASCII editor. Identify any instances where the IOPS and throughput limits have been exceeded. If the limits have not been exceeded, this may be a good period to perform the upgrade. For example, as a guideline, values should be less than 7000 IOPS and less than 70 MB/s.

  • Page 30: Sample Virtual Disk Statistics Display

    When the command has completed, open the file in an ASCII editor. The virtual disk information will appear similar to that in Figure Activity is reported separately for each controller accessing a virtual disk. The total activity for each virtual disk is the sum of the reported activity for each controller. A virtual disk may also be a snapshot, snapclone, or a DR group member.

  • Page 32: Hp-Ux

    IMPORTANT: Depending on your operating system, changing timeout values may require a reboot of your system. To minimize disruption of normal operations, schedule reboots one node at a time. In a cluster environment, plan your reboots one node at a time and shut down the passive node to avoid unwanted automatic failover.

  • Page 33: Linux

    Linux NOTE: RHEL4/SLES9 SCSI device has a default 30 second timeout value and up to 5 retries can occur. RHEL5/SLES10 SCSI device has a default 60 second timeout and also up to 5 retries can occur. In general, these timeout periods are adequate to accommodate an EVA online firmware upgrade. The following configuration recommendations apply to both RedHat and SuSE.

  • Page 34: Mac Os X

    NOTE: • The timeout values must be increased for Emulex single path (without multipath support) and QLogic single path being used in the environment. This is not only important for online upgrades but for general data integrity. • Online controller firmware upgrades are supported with Linux boot devices. Mac OS X Online firmware upgrade is not supported for Mac OS X.

  • Page 35: Openvms

    OpenVMS The limit for LUN timeout is 120 seconds. NOTE: OpenVMS handles the controller reboot seen at the conclusion of the firmware update process. Disks on the controller display a Mount Verify status during the controller reboot but regain Mounted status and resume I/O operations upon the completion of the controller reboot.

  • Page 36: Xen Citrix

    NOTE: For Microsoft Windows guests: set the windows SCSI timeout registry to 60secs, as follows: In the windows registry, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\ Services\Disk\TimeOutValue Set this value to 60 decimal (3Ch). The ESX layer (VMFS, the VMware filesystem) controls timeouts of VMFS I/O. These values may vary from ESX release to release.
