Array InstallationSlide17

Installation Overview

Unpack the array

Obtain the necessary accessories and equipment

Mount the controller and expansion trays in a rack or cabinet

Connect the AC power to the two power modules

Perform initial power-up

Connect the management hosts to the controller tray

Connect the data hosts to the controller tray

Use the WBI or CLI to set the Ethernet IP address, netmask, and gateway address, for each controller module.

(DHCP mode by default, if no DHCP server, controller A IP is 10.0.0.2, controller B is 10.0.0.3)

Use WBI or the CLI to set the array date and time

Set the basic array configuration parameters

Plan and implement your storage configurationSlide18

Connecting to a terminal emulator

Start and configure a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal using the following settings:

Terminal Emulator Display Settings

Terminal Emulation Mode - VT-100 or ANSI (for color support)

Font - Terminal

Translations - None

Columns - 80

Terminal Emulator Connection Settings

Connector - COM1 (typically)

Baud rate (bits/sec) - 115,200

Data bits - 8

Parity - None

Stop bits - 1

Flow control - NoneSlide19

Connecting via USB link

There is a “Host” interface and a “Device” interface USB Port.

The port labeled “Host” (USB Type A) is reserved for future use.

The port labeled “CLI” (USB Type B) is used to access the unit via CLI.

Certain operating systems require a device driver or special mode of operation to enable proper functioning of the USB CLI port.

You can download the device driver from hp.com – download drivers and SW section for P2000 MSA storage.Slide20

Applying the IP Address

At the prompt (#), type the following command to set the IP address for controller A

set network-parameters ip <address> netmask <netmask> gateway <gateway> controller a

At the prompt (#), use the same command to set the IP address for controller B except indicate controller B by replacing the “a” at the end of the command with “b”

Type the following command to verify the new IP addresses:

Show network-parameters

Verify Ethernet connectivity by pinging the IP addresses from a different system

You can now manage the storage through the web interfaceSlide21

P2000 G3 controller enclosure support

P2000 G3

Controller enclosures support both 3Gbps and 6Gbps internal drives and expander link speeds

Mixing 3Gbps and 6Gbps drive enclosures is supported, but performance can be limited if the enclosures are not cabled properly

Cable the 3Gbps enclosures behind the 6Gbps enclosures

Guidelines

Use only supported SAS 4x cables.

Mini-SAS to mini-SAS 0.5m cables are provided with the P2000 6Gb 3.5” 12–drive enclosure, D2700 6Gb drive enclosure, and MSA70 3Gb drive enclosure (one per controller)

SAS to SAS 0.6m cables are provided with the MSA2000 3Gb 3.5“ 12-drive enclosure (one per I/O module)

Longer cables than those supplied with the enclosure must be purchased separately. See the MSA Quick Specs for details

The maximum length cable allowed in any configuration is 2m.

A maximum of 8 enclosures (including the array enclosure) OR 149 drives are allowed in the array configurationSlide24

Connecting drive enclosures

P2000 G3 MSA supports these four drive enclosures:

HP StorageWorks P2000 6Gb 3.5” 12–drive enclosure

HP StorageWorks D2700 6Gb drive enclosure

HP StorageWorks MSA2000 3Gb 3.5” 12–drive enclosure

Snapshots are maintained as data continues to change

MSA2000 snapshots are controller-based

HP StorageWorks MSA2000 Volume Copy Software (included)

Makes a physical copy of the data to another set of disks within the same array

Volume copy may be mounted for backup, testing, data mining

MSA2000 Volume Copy is controller-based

No server performance impact

HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring (optional)

Provides replication and recovery of Windows and Linux data to another serverSlide42

UpgradesSlide43

Upgrading existing MSA2000 arrays

P2000 G3 controllers can be used to replace controllers in MSA2000 arrays

Existing MSA2000 G1 and G2 customers can upgrade their systems with P2000 G3 SAS controllers. They can retain their chassis, drives, and JBODs. The newly configured unit would take on the full personality of a G3 except that the “back-end” would be restricted to the SAS 3Gb transfer speed.

P2000 G3 SAS features like increased scalability, standard snapshot and Volume Copy, and optional Remote Snap would now be characteristic of their newly upgraded array.

Not only generational upgrades, but

cross-protocol

upgrades

are also supported. For example owners of an early MSA2000i iSCSI array (G1) could upgrade with third generation P2000 G3 SAS controllers.

Upgrade papers will be available on the P2000 G3 SAS web-site.Slide44

WarrantySlide45

Warranty options

Standard warranty

3-year parts exchange, Next Business day delivery
