Factory image HP ProLiant Storage Servers are preconfigured with default storage settings and preinstalled with the Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 operating system (OS). This section provides additional details about the preconfigured storage for the ML310 G3 Data Protection Storage Server. Physical configuration Four HDDs are included with the Data Protection Storage Servers, and they are configured for hardware RAID 5 fault tolerance using the HP 6–port SATA RAID controller.
Default boot sequence The BIOS supports the following default boot sequence: 1. DVD-ROM 2. HDD 3. PXE (network boot) Under normal circumstances, the storage servers boot up from the OS logical drive. • If the system experiences a drive failure, the drive displays an amber disk failure LED. • If a single drive failure occurs, it is transparent to the OS. The hardware RAID controller on four-HDD storage server configurations sounds an audible alarm to indicate a drive failure.
3 Remote access, monitoring, and set up completion This chapter describes basic administrative procedures related to remote access and monitoring and completes the setup procedures that were started in the HP ProLiant Data Protection Storage Server installation guide that comes with your server. Remote Browser This method of remote access allows you to place a DHCP-enabled storage server on a DHCP-enabled network and browse to the server.
NOTE: Remote Desktop is only supported on systems running Internet Explorer. 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, such as running a time-consuming query on a database, you can start the task and disconnect from the session.
Sessions information The sessions screen provides the ability to view or terminate active sessions. Integrated Lights-Out 2 Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) is HP’s fourth generation of Lights-Out management technology that allows you to perform virtually any system administrator or maintenance task remotely as if you were using its keyboard, mouse and monitor, power button and floppy, CD or USB key, whether or not the server is operating. It is available in two forms, iLO 2 Standard and iLO 2 Advanced.
Figure 9 HP System Management Homepage The HP System Management Homepage and Insight Management Agents are pre-installed on the storage server. The Management Agents extend system management capabilities by integrating HP Insight Diagnostics and the HP Network Configuration Utility.

4 Storage management overview This chapter provides an overview of some of the components that make up the storage structure of the HP ProLiant Data Protection Storage Server. Storage management elements Storage is divided into four major divisions: • • • • Physical storage elements Logical storage elements File system elements File sharing elements Each of these elements is composed of the previous level’s elements.
Physical Disks Single Server Cluster Implementation RAID Arrays Storage Elements Logical Drives Selective Storage Presentaion Visible Disks Logical Storage Elements Partitioning NTFS Volumes Q: File System Elements Shadow Copy Elements File Folders Shadow Copies (Snapshots) \Engineering \Marketing \Users \Sales \Engineering \Marketing from 02/10/03 09:30 \snapshot.0 R: from 02/10/03 09:30 \snapshot.0 from 02/10/03 11:30 \snapshot.1 R: from 02/10/03 11:30 \snapshot.
Arrays See Figure 11. 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. NOTE: Depending on the storage server model, array configuration may not be possible or necessary.
The table below summarizes the important features of the different kinds of RAID supported by the Smart Array controllers. The decision chart in the following table can help determine which option is best for different situations.
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. Through the use of dynamic disks, volumes can be created that span multiple LUNs. The Windows Disk Management utility can be used to convert disks to dynamic and back to basic, and manage the volumes residing on dynamic disks.
File sharing elements The storage server supports several file sharing protocols, including Distributed File System (DFS), Network File System (NFS), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB). On each folder or logical storage element, different file sharing protocols can be enabled using specific network names for access across a network to a variety of clients.
5 Troubleshooting, servicing, and maintenance Troubleshooting the storage server The “Support for your products” task at the HP Support & Drivers web site (http://www.hp.com/go/ support ) can be used to troubleshoot problems with the storage server.
Maintenance and service documentation For specific documentation for the maintenance and servicing of the ML310 storage server, refer to the HP ProLiant ML310 Generation 3 Server Maintenance and Service Guide. To obtain this guide, go to http://www.hp.com/servers/ml and click ML310. Under the Support category, click Support & Documents. Under the Resources for HP ProLiant ML310 G3 Server series category, select the link Manuals (guides, supplements, addendums, ).
6 System installation and recovery This chapter describes how to use the System Installation and Recovery DVD that is provided with your storage server. The System Installation and Recovery DVD The HP ProLiant Storage Server System Installation and Recovery DVD allows you to install an image or recover from a catastrophic failure. The DVD is used initially to install and configure the operating system and applications provided with your storage server.
CAUTION: In order for user data to be retained on two-drive systems, the data volume must be a single, mirrored volume as initially configured by the factory. If you choose to restore only the operating system on two-drive systems, you need to manually recreate mirrors of your operating system and data volumes after the system is recovered and Windows boots. Instructions are provided when you log in.
A Network adapter teaming Network adapter teaming is software-based technology used to increase a server’s network availability and performance. Teaming enables the logical grouping of physical adapters in the same server (regardless of whether they are embedded devices or Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) adapters) into a virtual adapter. This virtual adapter is seen by the network and server-resident network-aware applications as a single network connection.
Figure 15 HP Network Configuration Utility Properties dialog box, before teaming 2. Highlight the NICs to team. 3. Click Team. Figure 16 HP Network Configuration Utility Properties dialog box, after teaming 4. Configure the team by clicking the Properties tab. The teaming options are discussed in the following sections.
5. Click OK to accept the team properties. 6. Click OK in the HP Network Configuration Utility Properties dialog box to apply the changes. Team Properties page The Team Properties page is displayed (see Figure 17) when the Properties tab is selected on the HP Network Configuration Utility Properties dialog box. The Team Properties page is used to manage and monitor all team-specific settings and consists of the following individual tabs.
Team type selection In the Team Settings section of the Team Properties page, you have the option of selecting several team types from a drop-down list box (see Figure 18). These team types allow flexibility in your networking environment. The sections below describe these team types. Figure 18 Team Properties page, Team Type Selection drop-down list box Automatic (Recommended) The Automatic team type is not really an individual team type.
Switch-assisted Load Balancing with Fault Tolerance (SLB) Switch-assisted Load Balancing with Fault Tolerance (SLB) is a team type that allows full transmit and receive load balancing. SLB requires the use of a switch that supports some form of Port Trunking (for example, EtherChannel, MultiLink Trunking, and so on). SLB doesn’t support switch redundancy since all ports in a team must be connected to the same switch. SLB is similar to the 802.3ad Dynamic team type discussed later.
teamed port. In other words, if frame order preservation is desired, outbound load balancing by the team should be performed on a conversation-by-conversation basis rather than on a frame-by-frame basis. To accomplish this, the load-balancing device (either a team or a switch) needs information to identify conversations. Destination MAC address, Destination IP address, and TCP Connection are used to identify conversations (see Figure 19).
TCP Connection TCP Connection is also a load-balancing method that is designed to preserve frame ordering. This method will load balance outbound traffic based on the TCP port information in the frame’s TCP header. This load-balancing method combines the TCP source and destination ports to identify the TCP conversation. Combining these values, the algorithm can identify individual TCP conversations (even multiple conversations between the team and one other network device).
