When you have verified that the firmware versions on the SFS20 arrays and on the Smart Array 6404
adapters on the servers are correct, proceed to Section 7.15.2.2 to configure the arrays.
7.15.2.2 Configuring the arrays
To configure the SFS20 storage arrays for the Object Storage Servers, perform the following steps:
1. Review your file system requirements to determine how the arrays attached to the Object Storage
Servers need to be configured (see Section 5.3 for information on planning your storage
configuration).
2. Start the sfsmgr utility.
3. At the sfs> prompt, enter the show array command to display details of the storage arrays
attached to the servers, as shown in the following example:
sfs> show array
Array Type Array (WWID) Disks Free Server
----- ------- ----------------- ----- ----- ---------------
1 MSA20 P6C8CX7MQPS7X6 12 0 south[1-2]
2 MSA20 P6C8CX7MQPS7TU 12 0 south[1-2]
3 MSA20 P6C8CX7MQPSU67 12 12 south[3-4]
4 MSA20 P6C8CX7MQPS7XG 12 12 south[3-4]
Arrays 1 and 2 are shown with no free disks; this is correct, as these arrays have already been
configured.
Because arrays 3 and 4 have not yet been configured, all disks on these arrays are shown as free
disks (that is, the value in the Free field is the same as the value in the Disks field). If the value in
the Free field is not the same as the value in the Disks field, the array is already configured.
Proceed as follows:
• If the arrays are not yet configured (that is, all disks are shown as free disks), proceed to Step 4.
• In a new HP SFS system, the arrays may already have been configured.
• If the arrays are already configured with your desired configuration, skip the remaining
steps in this section and proceed to Section 7.15.3 to complete the configuration of the
Object Storage Servers.
• If the existing configuration is not suitable for your requirements and you do not need to
keep any existing data on the arrays (as would normally be the case with a new
installation), unconfigure the arrays before proceeding to Step 4 in this section.
For information on how to unconfigure an SFS20 array, refer to Chapter 3 of the HP
StorageWorks Scalable File Share System User Guide.
4. Review the information provided in Appendix J to familiarize yourself with the syntax of the
configure array array_number command and to determine the command options that you
will need to use to configure your planned storage requirements.
For example, the following command configures arrays 3 and 4 with one LUN in each disk group.
ADG redundancy is used, which means that eleven disks can be used in the disk group:
sfs> configure array 3,4
