1 Overview of XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software The XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 arrays integrate the following storage environments to provide advanced storage solutions: • Fibre Channel: Fibre Channel is a protocol that enables fast data transfers and can be used for configuring a storage area network (SAN). To use an array as SAN storage, you should attach host servers to the array's Fibre Channel ports.
Figure 1 Array integrating Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and NAS environments . You can connect the array to open-system server hosts on different platforms (for example, UNIX and PC servers). To configure a system that includes open-system hosts and an array, you must use XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to configure logical volumes and ports. One of the important tasks with logical volume configuration is to define I/O paths from hosts to logical volumes.
Configuring LU paths Use XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to make various settings for logical volumes (LUs), including LU path settings. When you configure a system, you must define LU paths to let hosts transfer data to and from storage. CAUTION: When defining LU paths, you must not use RAID Manager XP and XP Remote Web Console at the same time.
Figure 2 LU path configuration in Fibre Channel environments . Use XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to define paths between a single server host and multiple LUs. In Figure 2, both hosts in the hg-lnx host group can access the three LUs. Use XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to define paths between multiple server hosts and a single LU. In Figure 2, the LU identified by CU-LDEV number 00:00 is accessible from both hosts belonging to the hg-lnx host group.
For more information, see: • Defining LU paths • Changing or viewing LU path settings • Defining and viewing alternate paths NOTE: • In Fibre Channel environments, you can define up to 1,024 LU paths for one host group and up to 1,024 LU paths for one port. • You cannot define LU paths to LUN On-Demand volumes. • You cannot define LU paths to volumes reserved by Auto LUN XP. • You can create up to 255 host groups for one Fibre Channel port. • You cannot define LU paths to journal volumes.
Figure 3 LU path configuration in iSCSI environments . Use XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to define paths between a single server host and multiple LUs. In Figure 3, both hosts in the hg-lnx iSCSI target can access the three LUs. Use XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to define paths between multiple server hosts and a single LU. In Figure 3, the LU identified by CU-LDEV number 00:00 is accessible from both hosts belonging to the hg-lnx iSCSI target.
If a hardware failure (such as a CHA failure) occurs, some LU paths might be disabled and some I/O operations might be stopped. To avoid this situation, the system administrator can define alternate LU paths. If one LU path fails, the alternate path takes over the host I/O.
NOTE: • In NAS environments, you can define up to 256 LU paths for one NAS port. • In NAS environments, you cannot define LU paths to logical volumes that do not have the Read/Write or Read/Write (S-VOL Disable) access attribute. • You cannot define LU paths to LUN On-Demand volumes. • You cannot define LU paths to volumes reserved by Auto LUN XP. • The XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software pane displays two host groups (that is, User and NAS-Sys) below each NAS port.
Figure 4 LU path configuration in NAS environments . Configuring XP Secure Manager To protect mission-critical data in the array from illegal access, you must apply security policies to logical volumes. Use XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to enable XP Secure Manager on ports to safeguard LUs from illegal access.
NOTE: • You cannot apply XP Secure Manager to NAS ports. • If a port has the External attribute, you cannot apply XP Secure Manager to the port. If XP Secure Manager is enabled, host groups affect which host can access which LUs. Hosts can only access LUs associated with the host group the hosts belong to. Hosts cannot access LUs associated with other host groups. For example, hosts in the hp-ux host group cannot access LUs associated with the Windows host group.
Figure 6 Disabling XP Secure Manager . Host group 0 is the only host group reserved for each port by default. If you use the XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software pane to view a list of host groups in a port, host group 0 usually appears at the top of the list and is indicated by 00 (see Figure 2). NOTE: By default, the name of host group 0 consists of the port name, a hyphen, and 00. For example, host group 0 for port 1A is named 1A-G00 by default. You can change the name of host group 0.
NOTE: You cannot use the following volumes as command devices: • Volumes that do not have the Read/Write access attribute • Volumes reserved by Auto LUN XP • Continuous Access XP volumes • Business Copy XP volumes • External LUs • Volumes on which a VMA is set • Virtual volumes Fibre Channel ports When configuring Fibre Channel environments, you must configure the Fibre Channel topology and set addresses to the Fibre Channel ports.
Figure 7 FC-AL and Point-to-point topologies . When configuring the system, use the XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software pane to specify whether the hosts and array are connected by a fabric switch. If you use a fabric switch, you must specify FC-AL or point-to-point in the XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software pane (by default, FC-AL is specified). If you use a fabric switch, see the fabric switch's documentation to learn whether you should use FC-AL or point-to-point.

If you set a faster data transfer speed for ports where a larger amount of data is transferred, you can optimize system performance.
Figure 8 Ports in High Speed or Initiator/External MIX mode . If High Speed mode is applied to the four ports in a port block, only two of the ports can be used for connecting the host. These two ports can exclusively use channel processors and fibre optic processors (FOPs) that would otherwise be reserved for the other two ports. Therefore, system performance improves. By balancing workloads on processors, you can expect a greater improvement in system performance.
NOTE: • Sometimes Standard, High Speed, and Initiator/External MIX modes are collectively referred to as Fibre PCB modes. PCB is an acronym for printed circuit board. The array documentation sometimes uses the term PCB when referring to a channel adapter, which is a printed circuit board used for connecting hosts and an array. • Storage partition administrators cannot apply High Speed or Initiator/External MIX mode.

iSCSI port and iSNS server settings You must make settings on iSCSI ports (and iSNS servers, if necessary) when configuring iSCSI environments. Use XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to specify the following items when configuring iSCSI environments. For instructions, see Defining LU paths and Making settings on iSCSI ports and iSNS servers. • IP address: You must specify the iSCSI port's IP address when configuring iSCSI environments.
communications occurred between an iSCSI port and another iSCSI node (such as a host bus adapter or switching hub) every 60 seconds. Use XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software to specify a value within the range of 0 to 64,800 seconds. The Keep-alive timer's initial value is 60 seconds. • Whether to register iSCSI ports in iSNS servers: The iSNS server is a server computer on which an iSNS service is installed. iSNS is an acronym for Internet Storage Name Service.
2. The host authenticates the connection-target host group of the array (authentication of host groups). CAUTION: Because host bus adapters currently do not support this function, this authentication phase is not used in Fibre Channel environments. 3. A target port of the array authenticates a Fibre Channel switch attempting to connect (authentication of Fibre Channel switches). The array performs user authentication by host groups.
The next section explains authentication of hosts and host groups. Authentication of hosts (Fibre Channel environments) When a host attempts to connect to the array, the connection results of the authentication of the host differs depending on the host group settings. Figure 9 illustrates the relationship between host group settings and the connection results. Figure 9 Authentication of hosts (Fibre Channel environments) .
The host group does not perform authentication of the host. The host connects to the array without authentication regardless of whether or not the host is configured for authentication by host groups with CHAP. • Case C: If the host's user information is not registered on the host group Regardless of the setting on the host, the host group performs authentication of the host, but results in failure. The host cannot connect to the array.
Figure 10 Example of authentication of hosts (Fibre Channel environments) . In Figure 10, host group 1 performs authentication of hosts, but host group 2 does not. Host A's user information is registered on host group 1, and the authentication setting is enabled. Therefore, if the authentication of the host succeeds, Host A can connect to the array (or processing goes to the authentication of the host group).
Figure 11 Authentication of Fibre Channel switches . Case A to Case D in Figure 11 are explained as follows: • Case A through Case C: When performing authentication of Fibre Channel switches by ports • Case A: If the Fibre Channel switch's user information is registered on the port, and authentication of the Fibre Channel switch is enabled Each port authenticates the Fibre Channel switch.
Regardless of the Fibre Channel switch's setting, the port performs authentication of the Fibre Channel switch, but results in failure. The Fibre Channel switch cannot connect to the array. • Case D: When not performing authentication of Fibre Channel switches by ports The Fibre Channel switch connects to the array without authentication of the host regardless of whether or not the Fibre Channel switch is configured for authentication with CHAP.
the iSCSI target. A secret is a password used in CHAP authentication. When registering user information, you can also enable or disable authentication on a host basis. For more information about the settings, see Enabling and disabling authentication of hosts on iSCSI targets and Registering a host's user information on an iSCSI target. • On hosts: Configure the operating system and iSCSI driver for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP. You must specify the host's user name and secret used for CHAP.
Figure 12 Authentication of hosts (iSCSI environments) . Case A to Case D in Figure 12 are explained as follows: • Case A through Case C: When connecting via an iSCSI target that performs authentication of hosts • Case A: If the host's user information is registered on the iSCSI target, and authentication of the host is enabled The iSCSI target authenticates the user information sent from the host.
CAUTION: If a host uses Microsoft iSCSI Initiator and is configured for authentication by iSCSI targets with CHAP, authentication of the host fails. To allow such a host to connect to the iSCSI target without authentication, do not configure it for authentication by ports with CHAP. • Case C: If the host's user information is not registered on the iSCSI target Regardless of the setting on the host, the iSCSI target performs authentication of the host, but results in a failure.
Figure 13 Example of authentication of hosts (iSCSI environments) . In Figure 13, iSCSI target 1 performs authentication of hosts, but iSCSI target 2 does not. Host A's user information is registered on iSCSI target 1, and the authentication setting is enabled. Therefore, if authentication of the host succeeds, Host A can connect to the array (or processing goes to the authentication of the iSCSI target).
• Enabling and disabling authentication of hosts on iSCSI targets • Registering a host's user information on an iSCSI target • Settings and connection results in authentication of hosts (iSCSI environments). For more information about configuring hosts, see the documentation for the operating system and iSCSI driver in your environment.

7 Overview of Volume Manager and Custom Volume Size Volume Manager and Custom Volume Size (CVS) are functions for open systems and mainframe systems. To use these functions, you need the software called HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP. This chapter describes Volume Manager and CVS. Overview of Volume Manager This section describes the Volume Manager function and configuration of LUSE volumes (expanded LUs).
Figure 76 LUSE configuration . Volume Manager guidelines The following are the specifications and restrictions on LDEVs used to configure a LUSE volume: • Open volumes (OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, OPEN-E, OPEN-L, and OPEN-V) are supported. • The number of LDEVs combined into a LUSE volume must be within the range of 2 to 36. NOTE: The number of expanded LUs (LDEVs) should not exceed 36, even if the LUSE volume contains another LUSE volume.
NOTE: If you combine LDEV00, LDEV03, and LDEV05 into LUSE 1, combine LDEV02 and LDEV04 into LUSE 2, and combine LDEV06 and LDEV07 into LUSE 3, you can also combine LUSE 1 and LUSE 3. However, you cannot combine LUSE 1 and LUSE 2, because the LDEV range in LUSE 1 and LUSE 2 overlap. • The maximum capacity of a LUSE volume is 60 TB. NOTE: When a host accesses a LUSE volume, the host can only access less than 2 TB of the LUSE volume's address area.
NOTE: You cannot combine a path-defined LDEV or LUSE volume with another path-defined LDEV or LUSE volume. NOTE: When you start the Volume Manager operation to combine a path-defined LDEV or LUSE volume with another path-defined LDEV or LUSE volume, a confirmation pane appears. Click OK if you want to continue or Cancel if you do not.
also divide a logical volume into smaller ones for a command device, which efficiently exploits the disk's capacity. CVS operations include: Volume to Space, Install CV, Volume Initialize, and Make Volume. The Volume to Space function formats one or more LDEVs on a selected Virtual Device (VDEV) into free space. That free space can either be used to install one or more variable-sized volumes (CVs) using the Install CV function, or left as free space for future use.
CVS functions (Volume to Space, Install CV, Volume Initialize, and Make Volume) are performed on each VDEV. VDEVs are also separated from each other by the boundary limitation. Therefore, you cannot define a volume across two or more VDEVs beyond the boundaries. Figure 79 Parity group configuration . As the result of CVS operations, a VDEV contains FVs, CVs, and free spaces that are delimited in logical cylinders. Sequential free spaces are combined into a single free space (see Figure 80).
The following are the restrictions on LDEVs and LUSE volumes for the Volume to Space operation: • The LDEV must not be path-defined (including Hitachi TrueCopy for z/OS, Continuous Access XP, Hitachi ShadowImage for z/OS, Business Copy XP, and Continuous Access XP Journal pair volumes). • The LDEV must not be a component of a LUSE volume. • The LDEV must not be reserved for Auto LUN XP. • The LDEV must be read/write-enabled. • The LDEV or LUSE volume must not be a pool volume (pool-VOL).
Install CV method Description Divide free space by number Used to create CVS volumes by specifying the number of CVs in the CVS volume to be created. Divide free space by size Used to create CVS volumes by specifying the capacity of CVs in the CVS volume to be created. Set remaining space as volume Used to create a CVS volume using the remaining space on the VDEV. NOTE: CVS functions are not available for OPEN-L and OPEN-M volumes.

When the selected LDEV number's SSID boundary area has no SSID, the following icon appears before the related CU number and the related LDEV boundary area. The SSID of the boundary area having no SSID is ----.
NOTE: The SSID number of another SLPR is used check box appears only when you log in as a storage administrator and when there are two or more SLPRs. NOTE: You cannot enter the number in the Input SSID list when the SSID number of another SLPR is used check box is cleared. • Set: Sets the SSID you select or enter in Input SSID list to the table. The Set SSID table displays the new SSID. • Back: Cancels the SSID setting, and returns to the Make Volume pane (2).
NOTE: If a VDEV number starts with E (for example, E1-1-(1)), the VDEV belongs to a parity group that consists of one or more external LUs. NOTE: If a VDEV number starts with V (for example, V1-1-(1)), the VDEV belongs to a parity group that consists of one or more virtual volumes (V-VOLs). • Emulation: Emulation type of the CVS volume to be created (OPEN-V). • Capacity: CVS volume's capacity displayed in the unit selected from the Capacity Unit list in the Make Volume pane (1).
Figure 102 Volume Initialize pane (1) . This pane has the following features: • Normal volume-setting information table: On the upper right of the pane, displays detailed information about the CVS volumes to be initialized. • Parity Group: Number of the VDEV to be initialized. The VDEV number indicates the parity group where the VDEV belongs. For example, if VDEV number 1-1-(1) appears, the VDEV belongs to parity group number 1-1.
• Select CU No.: CU number. The default is CU 00. The LDEV number settings for the selected CU number appear in the Select LDEV No. table. • Interval: When selecting more than one volume, used to set the interval between the LDEV numbers to be assigned to the newly created volumes. The default value is 0. When you select 0, consecutive LDEV numbers are assigned. NOTE: The value you specify as the interval between LDEV numbers counts only available LDEV numbers and skips those that are not selectable.
Volume Initialize pane (2) This pane appears during the initialization of CVS volumes if the selected LDEV number's boundary area does not have an SSID. You can set an SSID on the Volume Initialize pane (2). Figure 103 Volume Initialize pane (2) for setting SSIDs . This pane has the following features: • Set SSID tree: Displays a hierarchical structure of SSID setting information containing CU numbers (for example, CU 00), SSID boundary areas (for example, 00-3F), and SSID (for example, 0004).
• SSID number of another SLPR is used: When selected, you can select the number of an SSID that does not exist in the SLPR to which the parity group does not belong. When cleared, you can select only the number of the SSID in the SLPR to which the parity group belongs. NOTE: The SSID number of another SLPR is used check box appears only when you log in as a storage administrator and when there are two or more SLPRs.
NOTE: If a VDEV number starts with E (for example, E1-1-(1)), the VDEV belongs to a parity group that consists of one or more external LUs. NOTE: If a VDEV number starts with V (for example, V1-1-(1)), the VDEV belongs to a parity group that consists of one or more virtual volumes (V-VOLs). • Emulation: Emulation type of the CVS volume to be initialized. • Capacity: Capacity of the CVS volume to be initialized, either in MB for open-system volumes or cylinders (Cyl) for mainframe volumes.
Figure 105 Concatenation List pane . • Parity Group: Displays concatenated parity groups. NOTE: If a parity group number starts with E (for example, E1-1), the parity group consists of one or more external LUs. NOTE: If a VDEV number starts with V (for example, V1-1-(1)), the VDEV belongs to a parity group that consists of one or more virtual volumes (V-VOLs). • OK: Closes the Concatenation List pane.
Figure 106 Format All pane . • Parity Group Type: Used to specify volumes to be formatted. • All Type: Blocked volumes in all parity groups in the local and external arrays are formatted. • Internal PG: Blocked volumes in all parity groups in the local array are formatted. • External PG: Blocked volumes in all parity groups in the external array are formatted. • List: Displays information about volumes to be formatted. • PG: Parity groups containing the volumes to be formatted.
Figure 107 Write to Control Blocks pane . • Target ExG: External LU groups containing volumes to be made usable. • ExG: External LU group numbers. • External Storage: Information about external arrays. • Add: Moves external LU groups selected in the Candidate ExG list to the Target ExG list. • Delete: Moves external LU groups selected in the Target ExG list to the Candidate ExG list. • Candidate ExG: List of external LU groups. • ExG: External LU group numbers.
Viewing current CVS configuration information You can view current CVS configuration information on the Customized Volume pane. • Viewing VDEV and LDEV configuration information You can view configuration information for VDEVs and LDEVs on the Customized Volume pane (Figure 90). This pane shows an outline of group numbers, parity group numbers, RAID levels, and VDEV numbers and a table of CU:LDEV numbers, emulation types, LDEV capacities, and path settings of VDEVs selected in the tree.
4. From the CU:LDEV list, select one or more LDEVs. NOTE: For the OPEN-V emulation type, you can also convert LUSE volumes into free space. If the available LDEV is a LUSE volume, the emulation type appears with an asterisk and the number of volumes in the LUSE volume (for example, OPEN-V*3) in the Emulation column of the table. NOTE: To select two or more adjacent LDEVs, select the LDEVs while pressing the Shift key. To select two or more discrete LDEVs, select the LDEVs while pressing the Ctrl key. 5.
