You and your HP service representative each play a role in installation. Your HP service
representative is responsible for installing the disk array and formatting the disk devices.
You are responsible for configuring the host server for the new devices with assistance
from your HP service representative.
Features and requirements
Ask your HP service representative about the latest supported hardware and software.
The disk array has the following features:
•
Storage capacity. The storage capacity for each model is listed below:
XP128: From 8 to 128 drives for up to 36 TB, 48 FC ports
XP1024: From 8 to 1024 drives for up to 149 TB, 64 FC ports
XP10000: Up to 240 drives for up to 69.2 TB, 48 FC ports

•
Server support. Novell NetWare server
•
Operating system support. Novell NetWare server operating system version 5.x,
or 6.x (FC) with current OS patches.
Before installing the disk array, ensure the environment conforms to these requirements::
•
Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) Install HBAs and all utilities and drivers. Refer to the
adapter documentation for installation details.
•
(Recommended) HP StorageWorks Remote Web Console XP, Command View
XP Advanced Edition or Command View XP with LUN management feature for
configuring disk array ports and paths
•
(Recommended) HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP
•
(Optional) Other available XP software (some may not be supported by your
array:

Fibre Channel interface
The XP family of disk arrays supports these Fibre Channel elements:
•
Connection speed of 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps
•
Short-wave non-OFC (open fiber control) optical interface
•
Multimode optical cables with SC or LC connectors
•
Public or private arbitrated loop (FC-AL) or direct fabric attach
•
Fibre Channel switches
Even though the interface is Fibre Channel, this guide uses the term “SCSI disk” because
disk array devices are defined to the host as SCSI disks.
Device emulation types
The XP family of disk arrays supports these device emulation types:
•
OPEN-x devices: OPEN-x logical units represent disk devices. Except for
OPEN-V, these devices are based on fixed sizes. OPEN-V is a user-defined size.
Supported emulations include OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, OPEN-E, OPEN-L,
and OPEN-V devices.
•
LUSE devices (OPEN-x*n): Logical Unit Size Expansion (LUSE) devices combine 2
to 36 OPEN-x devices to create expanded LDEVs larger than standard OPEN-x
disk devices. For example, an OPEN-x LUSE volume created from ten OPEN-x
volumes is designated as OPEN-x*10.
•
CVS devices (OPEN-x CVS): Volume Size Configuration (VSC) defines custom
volumes (CVS) that are smaller than normal fixed-sized logical disk devices
(volumes). (OPEN-V is a CVS-based custom disk size that you determine. OPEN-L
does not support CVS.)
•
LUSE (expanded) CVS devices (OPEN-x*n CVS): LUSE CVS combines CVS devices
to create an expanded device. This is done by first creating CVS custom-sized
devices and then using LUSE to combine from 2 to 36 CVS devices. For example,
if three OPEN-9 CVS volumes are combined to create an expanded device, this
device is designated as OPEN-9*3-CVS.
Failover
The XP family of disk arrays supports many standard software products that provide host,
application, or I/O path failover and management.
10
Installation
I/O path failover
NetWare multipath failover is supported. Refer to Chapter 2 for configuration details.
SNMP configuration
The XP family of disk arrays supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) for remotely managing the disk array. The SNMP agent on the service processor
(SVP) performs error reporting operations requested by the SNMP manager. SNMP
properties are usually set from the SVP but they can also be set remotely using Remote
Web Console XP, Command View XP, or Command View XP Advanced Edition. Refer to
the applicable user’s guide for procedures.

After these tasks are finished, use Remote Web Console, Command View, Command
View XP Advanced Edition, or LUN Configuration and Security Manager to complete
the remaining tasks listed below. If you do not have these programs, your HP service
representative can perform these tasks for you.
12
Installation
Setting the host mode for the disk array ports
After the disk array is installed, you must set the host mode for each disk array port to
match the host OS. Set the host mode using LUN Manager in Remote Web Console XP
(shown), Command View XP, or Command View XP Advanced Edition. If these are not
available, the HP service representative can set the host mode using the SVP.
The host mode setting for Novell Netware is OA. The host modes must be set for certain
middleware environments (for example, Novell High Availability Server, NHAS, System
Fault Tolerance, SFT III).
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide Novell Netware
13
For the XP1024/XP128 arrays, the host mode can also be set at the port information
window in Command View XP AE.
Setting the System Option Mode
The HP service representative sets the System Option Mode, based on the software
configuration of the host.
Configuring the Fibre Channel ports
Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using Remote Web Console (shown),
Command View, or Command View XP AE. Select the settings for each port based on
your storage area network topology. Use switch zoning if you connect different types of
hosts to the array through the same switch.
14
Installation
In fabric environments, the port addresses are assigned automatically. In arbitrated
loop environments, set the port addresses by selecting a unique arbitrated loop
physical address (AL-PA) or loop ID for each port. For specific values, refer to the HP
StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP User Guide applicable
to your array.
Fabric and connection parameter settings
When configuring the disk array, use LUN Manager in Remote Web Console XP,
Command View XP, or Command View XP Advanced Edition to specify whether the hosts
and the disk array are connected by a fabric switch. Also, you must specify FC-AL or
point-to-point in the “Mode” field of the Change Port Mode pane. The default is FC-AL.
If you are using a fabric switch, consult the switch’s documentation to determine whether
FC-AL or point-to-point should be used. Some fabric switches require that you specify
point-to-point to get the system running.
For detailed topology information, refer to the HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference
Guide on the www.hp.com
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide Novell Netware
15
Install and configure the host
This section explains how to install and configure the host and host bus adapters (HBAs)
that connect the host to the disk array.
Loading the OS and software
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to load the operating system and software onto
the host. Load all OS patches and configuration utilities supported by HP and the HBA
manufacturer.
Installing and configuring the HBAs
Install and configure the host bus adapters using the HBA manufacturer’s instructions.
HP supplies driver, firmware, and BIOS downloads for commonly available HBAs. These
downloads contain HBA settings that are tested and approved by HP. To obtain a
download, log onto the HP website at www.hp.com and search for the model name or
number of your HBA. Download the file, and follow the installation instructions in the
“readme” or documentation file supplied with each download.
16
Installation
NetWare Client settings
NetWare 6.x
NetWare Client software is required for the client system. After installing the software on
the NetWare server, follow these steps:
1.
Open the Novell Client Configuration dialog and click the Advanced Settings tab.
2.
Change the following parameters:
Give up on Requests to Sas: 180 Net Status Busy Timeout: 90
NetWare ConsoleOne settings
NetWare 6.x
Novell NetWare v6.x requires a tool called ConsoleOne to work in a storage
environment. ConsoleOne is a free Java utility used to manage network resources.
Configure ConsoleOne as follows:
1.
Ensure NetWare Client software is already installed.
2.
Install ConsoleOne on the NetWare 6.x server.
3.
From the NetWare Client, run ConsoleOne:
z:public/mgmt/consoleOne/1.2/bin/ConsoleOne
4.
Right click the Server icon, and select “Disk Management Devices.”
5.
Scroll left to the Media tab.
6.
Click Partitions, New, and select a device.
7.
Click Create, click NSS pools, click New, and name the pool. The pool name and
volume name can be the same.
8.
Click Create, click NSS Logical Volume, select New, name the volume, then select
the pool.
9.
Select Allow volume quota to grow to pool size.
10. Leave the default settings on the next page and click Finish.
Fabric zoning and LUN security
If you plan to use clustering, install and configure the clustering software on the servers.
Clustering is the organization of multiple servers into groups. Within a cluster, each
server is a node. Multiple clusters compose a multi-cluster environment. The following
example shows a multi-cluster environment with three clusters, each containing two
nodes. The nodes share access to the disk array.
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide Novell Netware
17
Within the Storage Area Network (SAN), the clusters must be homogeneous (all the same
operating system). Heterogeneous (mixed operating systems) clusters are not allowed.
How you configure LUN security and fabric zoning depends on the SAN configuration.
Multiple operating systems in a shared switch fabric
You can connect multiple clusters with multiple operating systems to the same switch and
fabric using appropriate zoning and LUN security. Note:
•
Storage port zones may overlap if more than one operating system needs to
share an array port.
•
Heterogeneous operating systems may share an XP array port if you set the
appropriate host group and mode. All others must connect to a dedicated XP
array port.
•
Use Secure Manager for LUN isolation when multiple hosts connect through a
shared array port. Secure Manager provides LUN security by allowing you to
restrict which LUNs each host can access.

Connect the disk array to the NetWare server
The HP service representative connects the disk array to the host by:
1.
Verifying operational status of the disk array channel adapters, LDEVs, and paths.
2.
Connecting the Fibre Channel cables between the disk array and the fabric switch
or host.
3.
Verifying the ready status of the disk array and peripherals.
Defining the paths
Use Remote Web Console (shown), Command View, or Command View XP AE to define
paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array.
This process is also called “LUN mapping.” In Remote Web Console and Command
View, LUN mapping includes:
•
Configuring ports
•
Enabling LUN security on the ports
•
Creating host groups
•
Assigning host bus adapter WWNs to host groups
•
Mapping volumes to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide Novell Netware
19
In Command View XP AE, LUN mapping includes:
•
Configuring ports
•
Creating storage groups
•
Mapping volumes and WWN/host access permissions to the storage groups
For details see LUN Configuration and Security Manager User’s Guide or Command
View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Web Client User’s Guide. Note the LUNS
and their ports, WWNs, nicknames, and LDEVs for later use in verifying host and
device configuration.
Verifying new device recognition
To verify that the NetWare system recognizes the new disk array devices:
1.
In the NetWare directory, enter SERVER to get to the server console.
2.
At the server console, enter LIST DEVICES to display all devices. Use the Pause
key as needed. The device number (for example, 0x000B) and device type are
displayed for each device:
20
Installation
1. 0x000B: [V6E0-A2-D7D:0] HP OPEN-3 rev:0111
2. 0x000C: [V6E0-A2-D7D:1] HP OPEN-3 rev:0111
:
:
3.
Record the device number for each new device on the worksheet in Appendix A,
Path Worksheet. This information will be useful later during disk partitioning and
volume creation.
4.
Verify that all new disk devices are listed.
Configure disk devices
Configure the disks in the disk array using the same procedure for configuring any new
disk on the host. This includes the following procedures:
1.
Creating the disk partitions
2.
Assigning the new devices to volumes
3.
Mounting the new volumes
4.
Verifying client operations
Creating scripts to configure all devices at once may save you considerable time.

Installation
2 Middleware configuration
The disk array supports many industry-standard middleware products which provide host
failover and logical volume management. Available host failover products for the Novell
NetWare server operating system include the Novell High Availability Server (NHAS),
SFT III software products, Novell Clustering Services, and Novell Multipath Support.
Logical volume management functions are included in the Novell NetWare server
operating system (for example, Installation Option NetWare Loadable Module,
NWAdmin).
Host failover
The NHAS and SFT III software products provide hardware fault tolerance (that is, host
failover capability) for the Novell NetWare environment.
Novell Clustering Service provides fault tolerance by moving (failing over) server
resources from one server to another.
If you plan to use these products with the disk array, contact your HP service
representative for the latest information about support and configuration requirements.
For assistance with NHAS or SFT III operations, see the Novell user documentation, or
contact Novell customer support.
Multipath failover
The XP disk arrays support NetWare multipath failover. If multiple HBAs are connected
to the disk array with commonly-shared LUNs, you can configure path failover to
recognize each new device path:
1.
In the startup.cfg file, enter
SET MULTI-PATH SUPPORT=ON
LOAD SCSIHD.CDM AEN
2.
If the line LOAD CPQSHD.CDM is present it should be commented out.
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide Novell Netware

SET MULTI-PATH SUPPORT=ON
LOAD ACPIDRV.PSM
######## End PSM Drivers ########
LOAD SCSIHD.CDM AEN
#LOAD CPQSHD.CDM
LOAD IDECD.CDM
######## End CDM Drivers ########
LOAD IDEATA.HAM SLOT=10011

Helpful Multipath commands
Other useful Multipath commands are described below.
MM Set failover priority =
This command sets the priority level for each path. The ID must be a valid path ID, and
the number must be a decimal integer value in the range 1-4,000,000, with 1 being
the highest priority and 4,000,000 being the lowest priority. The default value of 0
(zero) indicates that there is no priority.
The /insert option will move the priorities on all paths that were equal or lower than
. For example, if the paths had priorities of 1,2,3,4, and a new path is
28
Middleware configuration
assigned a number 2 using the /insert option, then the paths that were 2, 3, and 4 are
moved to 3, 4, and 5, and the new path assigned priority 2.
MM Set failover state =
This command sets the state of the path. The ID must be a valid path ID. If the path is Up,
it can be taken offline, and will not be used to switch to. Another path will be selected.
If the path is offline, the path will be reactivated, if possible, and set to an Up state. The
/setpath option will reselect the highest priority path that is up.
MM Set failover path
This command moves the selected path to the one specified by the path ID. The ID
must be a valid path that is up. This does not alter the priorities on the paths, and any
reselection of the path may cause the path to change. A later option will be added to
reassign that path to the highest priority.
MM Restore failover path device_id
This command forces the device to reselect the highest priority path that is online. The
device_id must be a valid device ID.
MM Reset failover registry
This command will delete all the failover entries in the registry, and recreate them again
based on the current set of failover devices.
As a path fails, it is automatically marked as a Down (offline) path, and the next highest
priority path is automatically selected. When the device is reactivated, the state is
automatically reset to an Up (online) state, and again the highest priority path is selected.
Use the NWCONFIG NetWare utility to create partitions/Volumes for each LUN. For

The host does not reboot properly after hard
shutdown.
If you power off the host without executing
the shutdown process, wait three minutes
to allow the disk array’s internal timeout
process to purge queued commands. If
the host restarts while the disk array is
processing queued commands, the host may
not reboot successfully.
Physical volumes cannot be created.
Verify that the disk array logical devices are
correctly formatted.
Logical volumes cannot be created.
Verify that the volume capacity for OPEN-x
volumes is not greater than the maximum
capacity allowed. See the Emulation
specifications table.
Verify that the capacity of the volume group
is not less than the total capacity of the
partitioned logical volume.
A file system is not mounted after rebooting.
Verify that the host was restarted correctly.
Verify that the file system attributes are
correct.
The disk array performs a self reboot
because the disk array was busy or it
logged a panic message.
Reboot the host.
The disk array responds “Not Ready” or the
disk array has displayed “Not Ready” and
timed out.
Contact HP.
The host detects a parity error.
Check the HBA and make sure it was
installed properly.
Reboot the host.
The host hangs or devices are declared and
the host hangs.
Make sure there are no duplicate disk array
TIDs and that disk array TIDs do not conflict
with any host TIDs.
Verify server hardware configuration.

Disk array supported emulations
The availability of a disk type depends on the disk array.
Note 2:
The devices are defined to the host as SCSI disk devices, even though the interface is
Fibre Channel.
Note 3:
The device capacity can sometimes be changed by the BIOS or host adapter board.
This may make actual capacity different from that listed in the table.
Note 4:
The number of blocks for a CVS volume is calculated as follows:
# of blocks = (# of cylinders) × (# of heads) × (# of sectors per track)
Example
For an OPEN-3 CVS volume with capacity = 37 MB:
# of blocks = (53 cylinders–see Note 5) × (15 heads) ×
(96 sectors per track) = 76320
Example
For an OPEN-V CVS volume with capacity = 49 MB:
# of blocks = (53 cylinders–see Note 5) × (15 heads) ×
(128 sectors per track) = 101760
Note 5:
The number of cylinders for a CVS volume is calculated as follows (↑…↑means that the
value should be rounded up to the next integer):
OPEN-3/8/9/E: The number of cylinders for a CVS volume = # of cylinders = ↑
(capacity (MB) specified by user) × 1024/720 ↑
Example
For an OPEN-3 CVS volume with capacity = 37 MB:
# of cylinders = ↑37 × 1024/720↑= ↑52.62↑
(rounded up to next integer) = 53 cylinders
OPEN-V: The number of cylinders for a CVS volume = # of cylinders = ↑(capacity
(MB) specified by user) × 16/15 ↑
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide Novell Netware
41
For an OPEN-V CVS volume with capacity = 49 MB:
# of cylinders = ↑49 × 16/15↑= ↑52.26↑
(rounded up to next integer) = 53 cylinders
OPEN-3/8/9/E: The number of cylinders for a CVS LUSE volume = # of cylinders = ↑
(capacity (MB) specified by user) × 1024/720 ↑× n
Example
For a CVS LUSE volume with capacity = 37 MB and n = 4:
# of cylinders = ↑37 × 1024/720↑× 4 = ↑52.62↑× 4 = 53 × 4 = 212
OPEN-V: The number of cylinders for a CVS LUSE volume = # of cylinders = ↑(capacity
(MB) specified by user) × 16/15 ↑× n
Example
For an OPEN-V CVS LUSE volume with capacity = 49 MB and n = 4:
# of cylinders = ↑49 × 16/15↑× 4 = ↑52.26↑× 4 = 53 × 4 = 212
Note 6:
The capacity of an OPEN-3/8/9/E CVS volume is specified in MB, not number of
cylinders. The capacity of an OPEN-V CVS volume can be specified in MB or number
of cylinders. You set the volume size using Remote Web Console, Command View or
Command View Advanced Edition.
42
Disk array supported emulations
Arbitrated loop physical address.
array group
A group of 4 or 8 physical hard disk drives (HDDs) installed in
an XP disk array and assigned a common RAID level. RAID1
array groups consist of 4 (2D+2D) or 8 HDDs (4D+4D). RAID5
array groups include a parity disk but also consist of 4 (3D+1P)
or 8 HDDs (7D+1P). All RAID6 array groups are made up of
8 HDDs (6D+2P).
BC
HP StorageWorks Business Copy XP. BC lets you maintain up to
nine local copies of logical volumes on the disk array.
CA
HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP. CA lets you create
and maintain duplicate copies of local logical volumes on a
remote disk array.
Command View
(CVXP)
HP StorageWorks Command View XP, a software product
for managing XP arrays. Command View runs on a
Windows-based management workstation.
Command View
XP Advanced Edi-
tion (CVXP AE)
HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition,
installs on the user-provided Device Manager server and
provides a browser-based platform from which you can manage
the XP family of disk arrays—even globally distributed arrays.
command device
A volume on the disk array that accepts Continuous Access
or Business Copy control operations which are then executed
by the disk array.
CU
Control Unit. Contains LDEVs and is approximately equivalent
to SCSI Target ID.
CVS
Custom volume size. CVS devices (OPEN-x CVS) are custom
volumes configured using array management software to
be smaller than normal fixed-size OPEN system volumes.
Synonymous with volume size customization (VSC).
DKC
The array cabinet that houses the channel adapters and service
processor (SVP).
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide Novell Netware
43
DKU (disk cabinet
unit)
The array cabinets that house the disk array physical disks.
emulation modes
The logical devices (LDEVs) associated with each RAID group
are assigned an emulation mode that makes them operate like
OPEN system disk drives. The emulation mode determines the
size of an LDEV:
OPEN-3: 2.46 GB
OPEN-8: 7.38 GB
OPEN-9: 7.42 GB
OPEN-E: 13.56 GB
OPEN-L: 36 GB
OPEN-V: User-defined custom size
failover
Disconnecting a failed unit or path and replacing it with an
alternative unit or path in order to continue functioning.
FC
Fibre Channel.
FC-AL
Fibre Channel arbitrated loop.
FCP
Fibre Channel Protocol.
GB
Gigabytes.
HBA
Host bus adapter.
host mode
Each port can be configured for a particular host type. These
modes are represented as two-digit hexadecimal numbers. For
example, host mode 08 represents an HP-UX host.
LDEV
Logical device. An LDEV is created when a RAID group is
carved into pieces according to the selected host emulation
mode (that is, OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-L). The number of
resulting LDEVs depends on the selected emulation mode. The
term LDEV is often used synonymously with the term volume.
LUN
Logical unit number. A LUN results from mapping a SCSI
logical unit number, port ID, and LDEV ID to a RAID group.
The size of the LUN is determined by the emulation mode of
the LDEV and the number of LDEVs associated with the LUN.
For example, a LUN associated with two OPEN-3 LDEVs has a
size of 4,693 MB.
LUSE
A LUN is normally associated with only a single LDEV. The
LUSE feature allows a LUN to be associated with 1 to 36
LDEVs. Essentially, LUSE makes it possible for applications
to access a single large pool of storage. The LUSE feature
is available when the HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration
Manager product is installed.
44
Glossary
Open Fibre Control.
OPEN-x
A general term describing any one of the supported OPEN
emulation modes (for example, OPEN-L).
OS
Operating system.
PA
Physical address.
path
“Path” and “LUN” are synonymous. Paths are created by
associating a port, a target, and a LUN ID with one or more
LDEVs.
port
A physical connection that allows data to pass between a
host and the disk array. The number of ports on an XP disk
array depends on the number of supported I/O slots and the
number of ports available per I/O adapter. The XP family of
disk arrays supports Fibre Channel (FC) ports as well as other
port types. Ports are named by port group and port letter, such
as CL1-A. CL1 is the group, and A is the port letter.
RAID
Redundant array of independent disks.
remote console PC
The PC running HP StorageWorks Remote Control XP.
Remote Control
(RC)
HP StorageWorks Remote Control XP. A software product used
for managing XP arrays.
Remote Web Con-
sole (RWC)
HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console. A browser-based
program installed on the SVP that allows you to configure and
manage the disk array.
R-SIM
Remote service information message.
SCSI
Small computer system interface.
SIM
Service information message.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol.
SVP
Service processor, which is the PC built into the disk controller.
The SVP provides a direct interface into the disk array. SVP use
is reserved for HP support representatives only.
TB
Terabyte.
TID
Target ID.
Volume
On the XP array, a volume is a uniquely identified virtual
storage device composed of a control unit (CU) component
and a logical device (LDEV) component separated by a colon.
For example 00:00 and 01:00 are two uniquely identified
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP operating system configuration guide Novell Netware
45
volumes; one is identified as CU = 00 and LDEV = 00, and
the other as CU = 01 and LDEV = 00; they are two unique
separate virtual storage devices within the XP array.
VSC
Volume size customization. Synonymous with CVS.
WWN
World Wide Name. A unique identifier assigned to a Fibre
Channel device.
