Page 55: Arrays
A natural consequence of the striping process is that each hard drive in a given array contains the same number of data blocks. NOTE: If one hard drive has a larger capacity than other hard drives in the same array, the extra capacity is wasted because it cannot be used by the array. HP ProLiant Storage Server...
Page 56: Fault Tolerance
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 57: Partitions
For example, a spanning volume cannot be altered to a mirrored volume without deleting and recreating the volume, unless it is a simple volume. Simple volumes can be mirrored or converted to spanned volumes. Fault-tolerant disks cannot be extended. Therefore, selection of the volume type HP ProLiant Storage Server...
Page 58: File System Elements
is important. The same performance characteristics on numbers of reads and writes apply when using fault-tolerant configurations, as is the case with controller-based RAID. These volumes can also be assigned drive letters or be mounted as mount points off existing drive letters. The administrator should carefully consider how the volumes will be carved up and what groups or applications will be using them.

ERASE” or local C: volume. These are reserved volumes and must be maintained as they exist. • HP does not recommend spanning array controllers with dynamic volumes. The use of software RAID-based dynamic volumes is not recommended. Use the array controller instead; it is more efficient.
Page 66: Disk Quotas
Defragmentation for a volume can be scheduled to occur automatically at convenient times. Defragmentation can also be done once, or on a recurring basis. NOTE: Scheduling defragmentation to run no later than a specific time prevents the defragmentation process from running later than that time.
Page 67: Adding Storage
An administrator may have gained this new storage space by either expansion or by deleting another logical drive on the same array. Unlike drive expansion, the operating system must be aware of changes to the logical drive size. You extend a volume to: HP ProLiant Storage Server...

If you choose host presentation during virtual disk creation, the management agent cannot complete any other task until that virtual disk is created and presented. Therefore, HP recommends that you wait until a virtual disk is created before presenting it to a host.
Page 69: Volume Shadow Copies
Identifying the volume Shadow copies are taken for a complete volume, but not for a specific directory. Shadow copies work best when the server stores user files, such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, or database files. HP ProLiant Storage Server...
Page 70: Allocating Disk Space
NOTE: Shadow copies should not be used to provide access to previous versions of application or e-mail databases. Shadow copies are designed for volumes that store user data such as home directories and My Documents folders that are redirected by using Group Policy or other shared folders in which users store data.
Page 71: Identifying The Storage Area
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. HP ProLiant Storage Server...
Page 72: Mounted Drives
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. Mounted drives A mounted drive is a local volume attached to an empty folder (called a mount point) on an NTFS volume.

cache file cache file cache file Figure 21 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 75: Viewing A List Of Shadow Copies
NOTE: For volumes where shadow copies do not exist currently, it is possible to change the location of the cache file. Managing the cache files on a separate disk is recommended. HP ProLiant Storage Server...
Page 76: Redirecting Shadow Copies To An Alternate Volume
CAUTION: Use caution when reducing the size limit for all shadow copies. When the size is set to less than the total size currently used for all shadow copies, enough shadow copies are deleted to reduce the total size to the new limit.
Page 77: Managing Shadow Copies From The Storage Server Desktop
No additional software is required to enable UNIX users to independently retrieve previous versions of files stored on NFS shares. NOTE: Shadow Copies for Shared Folders supports retrieval only of shadow copies of network shares. It does not support retrieval of shadow copies of local folders. HP ProLiant Storage Server...
Page 78: Smb Shadow Copies
NOTE: Shadow Copies for Shared Folders clients are not available for HTTP, FTP, AppleTalk, or NetWare shares. Consequently, users of these protocols cannot use Shadow Copies for Shared Folders to independently retrieve previous versions of their files. However, administrators can take advantage of Shadow Copies for Shared Folders to restore files for these users.

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 HP ProLiant Storage Server...
Page 80: Recovery Of Files Or Folders
Access to NFS shadow copy pseudo-subdirectories is governed by normal access-control mechanisms using the permissions stored in the file system. Users can access only those shadow copies to which they have read access at the time the shadow copy is taken. To prevent users from modifying shadow copies, all pseudo-subdirectories are marked read-only, regardless of the user's ownership or access rights, or the permissions set on the original files.

Clicking Restore enables the user to recover everything in that folder as well as all subfolders. Clicking Restore does not delete any files. HP ProLiant Storage Server...
Page 82: Backup And Shadow Copies
Backup and shadow copies Shadow copies are only available on the network via the client application, and only at a file or folder level as opposed to the entire volume. Hence, the standard backup associated with a volume backup will not work to back up the previous versions of the file system. To answer this particular issue, shadow copies are available for backup in two situations.
Page 83: Folder And Share Management
Folder and share management The HP ProLiant Storage Server supports several file-sharing protocols, including DFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, and Microsoft SMB. This section discusses overview information as well as procedures for the setup and management of the file shares for the supported protocols. Security at the file level and at the share level is also discussed.

Page 89: Share Management
Share management There are several ways to set up and manage shares. Methods include using Windows Explorer, a command line interface, or the HP Storage Server Management Console. NOTE: Select servers can be deployed in a clustered as well as a non-clustered configuration. This chapter discusses share setup for a non-clustered deployment.
Page 90: Defining Access Control Lists
The content of shares should be carefully chosen to avoid two common pitfalls: either having too many shares of a very specific nature, or of having very few shares of a generic nature. For example, shares for general use are easier to set up in the beginning, but can cause problems later. Frequently, a better approach is to create separate shares with a specific purpose or group of users in mind.

UNIX computers follow advisory locking for all lock requests. This means that the operating system does not enforce lock semantics on a file, and applications that check for the existence of locks can use these locks effectively.

• Storing the most current version of the cluster database • Guaranteeing that only one set of active communicating nodes is allowed to operate as a cluster Cluster concepts Figure 40 illustrates a typical cluster configuration with the corresponding storage elements. The diagram progresses from the physical disks to the file shares, showing the relationship between both the cluster elements and the physical devices underlying them.
Page 131: Hierarchy Of Cluster Resource Components
The previous diagram is an example and is not intended to imply limitations of a single group or node. Groups can contain multiple physical disks resources and file shares and nodes can have multiple groups, as shown by the group owned by Node2. Cluster planning Requirements for taking advantage of clustering include: HP ProLiant Storage Server...
Page 132: Storage Planning
In preparing for the cluster installation: • All software components listed in the HP ProLiant Storage Server SAN Connection and Management white paper (located on the HP web site at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/ SupportManual/c00663737/c00663737.pdf) must be installed and the fiber cables attached to the HBAs before the cluster installation is started.

Page 137: Setting Up Networks
While the public network adapter's IP address can be automatically obtained if a DHCP server is available, this is not recommended for cluster nodes. HP strongly recommends setting static IP addresses for all network adapters in the cluster, both private and public. If IP addresses are obtained though DHCP, access to cluster nodes could become unavailable if the DHCP server goes down.

Geographically dispersed clusters Cluster nodes can be geographically dispersed to provide an additional layer of fault tolerance. Geographically dispersed clusters are also referred to as stretched clusters. The following rules must be followed with geographically dispersed clusters: • A network connection with latency of 500 milliseconds or less ensures that cluster consistency can be maintained.
