Preface
1 Overview of HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite is a comprehensive software suite providing management services for storage systems and hosts. Storage configuration, virtualization, reporting, and monitoring tools are fully supported.
• Create hierarchical storage tiers based on varying drive performance and capacity characteristics • Use the Mobility tab to optimize data placement and operation for online data migration between tiers If you install 'Plug-in for Virtualization Server Provisioning' in an environment that manages virtualization servers using VMware vCenter Server and VMware vSphere Client, you can use the plug-in to allocate volumes.
System configuration The following figure illustrates HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite software management server components, and the basic configuration of the storage network. Management servers • The management server is where P9000 Command View AE Suite is installed. • The management server communicates with management clients, storage systems, pair management servers, and hosts over LAN connections.
The component used to collect information about the volumes used by the hosts. NOTE: The Host Data Collector component can be installed on other servers and accessed remotely by P9000 Command View AE Suite. Management clients • You can manage storage resources via the management server using the P9000 Command View AE Suite web client, or CLI client software to issue commands. • CLI client components (Device Manager and Tiered Storage Manager) require a separate installation from the web client.
URL examples: • http://localhost:23015/DeviceManager/ • https://localhost:23016/DeviceManager/ NOTE: The localhost name entry above implies you are sitting at the server. To access the interface from another system, specify an IP address or host name in the URL. For a secure connection, use the https URL on port 23016. 2. Enter values in the User ID and Password fields, and click Log In. TIP: If authenticating with an external authentication server, use the external authentication server password.

Specify the appropriate items and click OK. Check the Data Collection Tasks tab to verify that the task has completed successfully. Confirm that the information in the storage system list is updated.
Operations available to SMI-S Enabled storage systems You can register storage systems that are managed by an SMI-S provider (SMI-S Enabled storage systems) as HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite resources. The user can perform the following operations to SMI-S Enabled storage systems: • Register, change, delete, and update SMI-S Enabled storage systems. • View summary information for SMI-S Enabled storage systems.
Methods for registering hosts Methods for registering one or more hosts, using host installed agents or agent-less discovery include: Table 1 Methods for registering hosts Purpose Method To manually register individual hosts Register each host by WWN To register multiple hosts in a batch Use Host Data Collector Description When you want to register hosts in Command View AE Suite based on WWN, manually specify the host name, OS type, and WWN information.
Purpose Method Description To newly install HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software to an existing environment that was configured with Remote Web Console Scan a host Use Host Scan when you want to newly install HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software to an existing environment that was configured by using Remote Web Console.
NOTE: To detect multiple hosts at the same time, specify a subnet or a range of 256 or fewer IP addresses, or specify individual IP addresses. • User name and password for logging on to the host (with Administrator or superuser permissions) NOTE: When specifying users other than the root, you need to specify environment settings for when general users are used to collect host information on the host side.
TIP: If you want to allocate volumes to an FCoE port, you need to manually add a WWN. To remove registered hosts, select the hosts to be removed, and click Remove Hosts. Registering hosts manually by specifying the WWN target You can register hosts manually to manage and monitor the hosts by specifying a WWN address. Items to check beforehand: • Host name • OS type • Unregistered WWN 1. From the Administration tab, select Managed Resources. 2. From the Hosts tab, click Add Hosts. 3.
• When registering virtualization servers, specify environment settings for virtualization server registration. For details see HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide. 1. From the Administration tab, select Managed Resources. 2. From the Hosts tab, click Add Hosts. 3. In the Add Hosts window, select Discover Hosts. 4. From OS Type, select VMware. 5. Enter the IP address, user ID, and password of vMA. 6. In Host Data Collector, clear the Use Host Data Collector check box.
In this diagram, the WWN of 22.22.22.22.22.22.22.22 for host group AAA is added to host AAA, which has the same name as the host group. The WWN of host group BBB is already registered to host AAA, and host BBB cannot be registered in Device Manager. Host CCC, which has the same name as host group CCC, is added to Device Manager, and the WWN of 33.33.33.33.33.33.33.33 for host group CCC is registered to host CCC.
Registering hosts using merge hosts You can register hosts using Merge Hosts to manage and monitor the host. Conditions for a target host: • It is not a mainframe host • It is not a virtual host • At least one WWN must be registered for the destination host Items to check beforehand: • Source host name 1. From the Administration tab, select Managed Resources. 2. From the Hosts tab, select the line for the target host, and then click Merge Hosts. 3. Specify the source host, and then merge the hosts.

Reviewing data collection tasks This module describes reviewing data collection tasks to verify the success or failure of managed target operations, such as registration. About data collection tasks From the Administration tab, Managed Resources, tabs are provided for adding, refreshing, editing, and removing storage systems and hosts. These operations add or change information about the storage or host resource.
Registering managed targets
3 Setting up and operating a SAN environment This module describes setting up and operating a Storage Area Network (SAN). Creating and deleting volumes This module describes how to create volumes (including LUSE volumes), and delete unallocated volumes. About creating volumes You create volumes, then allocate them to a host. You create volumes by using the available space in a THP/Smart pool or parity group. You can then access the volumes when you are ready to allocate them to a host.
• Verify the information that is displayed. NOTE: Only manually set LDEV IDs for the volumes you are creating appear in the Plan Detail for verification. • Enter a name in Task Name. • Specify when the task should execute. 4. 5. Click Submit. When the task completes, verify that the volumes appear in the Open-Unallocated volume list on the Resources tab.
Creating a LUSE volume Information needed before creating a LUSE volume: • The name of the target host • The target volumes (LUSE volumes or basic volumes that are already allocated to the host). Tasks to complete before creating a LUSE volume: • Creating volumes to be added 1. From the Resources tab, select Hosts. 2. Expand the tree and select the target host. 3. From the list of volumes, select the LUSE volume or the basic volume, and then click the Create LUSE Volume button. 4.
This allows centralized management of volumes from multiple external storage systems, in addition to the volumes from the single storage system being managed with HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite. The volumes in the external storage system (registered and referred to as external volumes) can then be managed in the same way as the volumes in the internal storage system (registered and referred to as internal volumes).
Virtualizing storage capacity (THP/Smart) This module describes how to virtualize storage capacity. About virtualizing storage capacity HP StorageWorks P9000 Thin Provisioning (THP) provides virtual volumes to a host and allocates the actual capacity from aTHP pool when a host makes a write request. By using THP pools, you can allocate more capacity to a host than that allowed by the actual physical configuration of the storage system.
Creating a THP/Smart pool You can create virtual volumes from physical volumes and then group them into a THP/Smart pool.
Expanding THP/Smart pools By expanding THP/Smart pools, pool capacity can be increased or THP pools can be converted to Smart pools. You can expand a THP/Smart pool by adding volumes to the pool.
Modifying THP/Smart pool settings After setting up a THP/Smart pool, you can modify THP/Smart pool settings. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. On the Resources tab, select THP Pools under the target storage system. From the list of THP/Smart pools, select the pool you want to modify and click Edit Pool. Modify the settings as appropriate and click Submit. On the Tasks & Alerts tab, confirm that all tasks are completed.
5. In the task list, confirm that the task is completed. Virtualizing storage tiers (Smart) This module describes how to manage data relocation for Smart volumes. About virtualizing storage tiers Smart Tiers functionality monitors the frequency at which data is accessed and relocates that data based on the results. The user creates a pool that combines volumes of different cost performances, such as combining high-speed volumes (SSD or SAS) with inexpensive low-speed volumes (SATA).
• Restoring a data placement by applying a data placement profile of Smart volumes - Users can restore a past data placement by saving data placements of optimized Smart volumes per page as profiles, and applying them according to operation.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. From the Mobility tab, select THP Pools. Expand the tree view and select the target storage system. Then from the list of THP/Smart pools, select the Smart pool for which the schedule is to be set. Click the Edit Pool button. In Smart Software Settings in Tier Management select the Custom radio button and click the Create Template button. If templates have already been created, select a template.
5. View the list of tasks to make sure that all tasks are complete. TIP: If a data placement profile and a tiering policy are being used concurrently, the capacity ratio of Tier 1 might exceed the value specified for the maximum allocation threshold. Customizing a tiering policy for Smart volumes You can set the value for the allocation threshold of a hardware tier. When a tiering policy is specified for Smart volumes, make sure changing the definition will not cause a problem.
• When the operations listed below are performed, users need to perform a search inconsistency operation from the Refresh Storage Systems dialog because the profile that is actually applied to the volume in a storage system might not match the profile information that can be referenced from HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite.
TIP: To delete data placement profiles, select the data placement profiles to be deleted, and click Delete Profiles. NOTE: Regardless of the allocated resource groups, data placement profiles created by another user can also be referenced in the list of profiles. However, operations that can be performed on such profiles are restricted based on the allocated resource group and role. Therefore, specify profile names and descriptions to make it clear which operations are available.
TIP: When you want to periodically update the profile according to the intervals for monitoring Smart pools and replacing data, you can set a schedule for updates by using the Schedule Profiles button. Also, When an applied profile is updated, the profile in a condition before the update will continue to be used until the updated profile is reapplied. Editing a data placement profile for Smart volumes Users can change the name and description of a data placement profile.
5. View the list of tasks to see the execution results. After the monitoring and data relocation of Smart pools finish, perform the following operations to check the effect of applying the profile, and to release the applied profile. 6. Using the software for checking the performance information, check the effects of applying the profiles.
Perform the following tasks beforehand: • Connect the external storage system. • Define hardware tiers that consist of external volumes. 1. From the Resources tab, select Storage Systems. Expand the tree and select the target THP Pools of the storage system. 2. Select the target Smart pools, and click the THP Pool Vols tab. 3. Select the target Smart pool volume, and click the Edit External LDEV Tier Rank button. 4. Specify the necessary items, and execute the plan.
NOTE: Before allocating volumes, review the available volume allocation methods. This will optimize your ability to perform volume allocation, and help you understand the Allocate Volumes dialog box. Volume allocation methods When you allocate volumes, you can either: • Select resources, such as volumes or hosts, then start the Allocate Volumes dialog box. • Start the Allocate Volumes dialog box without first selecting a resource such as a volume or host.
Prerequisites for allocating volumes Before allocating volumes to a host you must verify that the host, and storage systems are registered in HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite. If you want to select volumes from a tier, Tiered Storage Manager license must be enabled.
Allocating selected volumes to hosts You can allocate selected volumes to one or more hosts. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. From the Resources tab, select Storage Systems. Expand All Storage Systems, and select a specific storage system. This will list volume group links in the Detailed Information pane. Listed groups represent available pools, parity groups, and volumes. Select a group from the Resources pane tree structure, or using the Detailed Information links.
NOTE: You can allocate volumes to cluster hosts that are not in a logical group. However, you must ensure that your host selection is correct. Logical groups are strongly recommended. 8. Check for a Completed task status. The same volumes have been allocated to individual hosts that belong to a cluster. Allocating volumes by using a keyword search A keyword search is a full or partial text search.
7. Check for a Completed task status. Allocating volumes by using existing volume settings If you have allocated at least one volume to a host, you can allocate new volumes for the host by using the attributes of an existing volume as the default for the Allocate Volume dialog box. Your volume allocation can be exactly like, or similar to, the selected existing volume. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. From the Resources tab, in the Resources pane, select Hosts or Logical Groups.
TIP: Field groups (drop-downs) are indicated by the leading characters >> in the left column. You can search on these characters. Note that initial fields for host and volume criteria are not in a drop-down group. Table 5 Allocate volumes dialog box (fields, dropdowns, subfields) Fields and Dropdowns Subfields Descriptions If you selected one or more hosts (includes virtualization servers) prior to clicking Allocate Volumes, the host names are displayed. If you did not select hosts, you are prompted.
Fields and Dropdowns Subfields Descriptions Select the volume type. For example Basic, Thin Provisioning or Smart Pool. The displayed volume types are determined by your selected storage system. If you do not see an expected volume type, check that you have selected the correct storage system. Volume type - The selected volume type affects the Advanced Options fields described below.
Fields and Dropdowns Tiering Policy Setting Subfields Descriptions - This field displays only if Smart Pool is selected as the volume type, and aSmart pool has been selected with Select Pool (see Volume Selection above). You can select a specific tier policy for the volume to be allocated, or select All. Note: This field is not the same field as the Volume Selection field above when Volume Type is set to Smart Pool.
Fields and Dropdowns Creating Volume Settings Subfields Format Type Descriptions Creating Volume Settings, and related fields, is only displayed when entered volume criteria require a new volume to be created. See Volume Capacity field above for an example. This field displays formatting methods available for the volume to be created, as available for basic volumes on the specified storage system. For example, you might see options for a quick or basic format.
Fields and Dropdowns Subfields Descriptions Host mode options Select one or more host mode options for supporting special requirements for specific applications. LU numbers can be assigned automatically or manually for the volumes being allocated. LU Number auto or manual selection buttons To automatically assign LU numbers to the allocated volumes, select auto and enter a start from number (or use the default). LU numbers are set in ascending order while avoiding existing numbers.
Prerequisites for unallocating volumes from hosts Volume unallocation frees up volumes for reallocation to other systems needing these resources. Before unallocating volumes, verify the following: • The host and storage systems are registered in HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite software. • The IT administrator has unmounted the volumes you plan to unallocate.
register a Replication Manager license, you can use wizards to visualize complex replication configurations while defining, editing, viewing, and troubleshooting copy pairs. For more information about how to set up Replication Manager for volume replication, see the HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide and the HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Release Notes.

From the Explorer menu, select Tasks, then select Tasks again to confirm that the task is completed. Confirm the copy pair status was changed by viewing the list of volumes in the Hosts view or the Storage view in Replication Manager.
When periodically monitoring logical groups or THP/Smart pools during routine work, check the ranking reports in the Mobility tab so you can efficiently find logical groups or THP/Smart pools that have problems in their operational status. The Mobility tab can be used to check the total capacity and usage rate for each logical group, THP/ Smart pool, or each volume in a logical group or THP/Smart pool.
Checks for logical groups that use a large amount of capacity by drive type. Used to determine whether an unexpected volume is occupying a high-speed drive or logical groups which have invalid data arrangements. The following information is displayed when a logical group is selected: • Summary Provides summarized information in a list, such as the number of volumes and the total capacity of a logical group, or the last update date.
requiring optimization (editing the tiering policy, or data migration). This summary only appears for Smart pools. • Top 10: Volumes Sharing Tier Capacity Checks the usage ranking of volumes that have the largest use capacity in each hardware tier. Based on this information, you can check whether data placement is appropriate, for example by checking whether an unexpected volume is occupying a high-speed drive. This summary only appears for Smart pools.
About data migration Data migration involves moving data from one set of volumes to another set of volumes or THP/Smart pools, including those in externally-connected storage systems. For example, you can migrate data when your volume performance decreases or your environment changes.
• When storage systems or hosts are under a heavy load, migration might fail. In this case, reduce the load on the storage systems, and then perform data migration again. • If data migration fails, the integrity of data at the migration target cannot be ensured. Therefore, data migration must be performed again.
• If a volume whose emulation type is OPEN-V is a normal volume, and if the size of a migration target volume is larger than a migration source volume, a volume that has the same size of the migration source volume is re-created. The remaining capacity can be reused. If you set a value for the property migration.plan.candidateCapacityGroupDisplayMaxCount in the migration.

Managing users This module describes how to manage users.
In Device Manager and Tiered Storage Manager, operation permissions are granted by assigning resource groups and roles to a user group. The above method can be used for operation permissions for the Device Manager GUI, Device Manager CLI, and Tiered Storage Manager GUI. To grant permissions for Tiered Storage Manager CLI, on the other hand, you must grant permissions to each user rather than assign roles.
Function Resource Group Necessary Roles All Resources or resource group to which an updated storage system belongs View details of data collection tasks (update storage systems) • To delete data collection tasks (update storage systems), All Resources must be assigned. Note that users can perform this operation on tasks that they have created even if All Resources is not allocated.
Function Resource Group Necessary Roles Edit tier relocation for Smart volumes. Resource group to which the target LDEV ID of aSmart volume belongs. Admin or Modify Edit tiering policy for Smart volumes. Resource group to which the target LDEV ID of aSmart volume belongs. Admin or Modify Change tiering policy definition for Smart volumes. Default resource group of the storage system to which the target tiering policy belongs.
Function Resource Group Necessary Roles Create, edit, or delete tiers Resource group to which the target resource belongs Admin or Modify Edit THP/Smart pool name Resource group to which the target resource belongs Admin or Modify Apply storage system labels to Device Manager Resource group to which the target storage system belongs Admin or Modify Edit shared search conditions, or change them to private.

Select the check box for the user whose lock status you want to change. Click Lock Users or Unlock Users to change the current status. Verify that the selected user accounts have been locked, or that the previously locked user can now log in.
Configuring external authentication for groups External authentication systems, such as LDAP (for example, Active Directory), RADIUS, or Kerberos may be used to authenticate Command View AE Suite user group members as they log in. You can configure one or more user groups, from one or more external authentication servers.
About access control When a SAN environment is managed by storage administrators, resources are managed by resource and user groups by the Device Manager and Tiered Storage Manager (GUI). This allows secure data handling in multi-tenant environments and more efficient operations. Access control can be used for data center hosting services and managing departments in a company. A resource group is a group of similar storage system resources (storage systems, storage ports, LDEV IDs, parity groups, etc.).
It is also possible to share physical resources (such as parity groups or storage ports) among departments, and divide only logical resources (such as LDEV IDs or host group numbers) by department. For example, you can assign resource groups that contain shared physical resources to all departments and then assign individual resource groups that contain specific logical resources to the appropriate departments.
• All Resources is a resource group that includes all resources managed by Command View AE Suite. This group is automatically created during installation. • Default resource groups are resource groups created for each storage system and include all resources in that storage system. This group is automatically created when a storage system is registered. • User-defined resource groups are resource groups that the user can define under the P9500 Disk Array and depend on the operating environment.
TIP: To delete resource groups, select one or more resource groups and click Delete Resource Groups. Editing a resource group Information about resource groups can be modified to reflect changing access control requirements. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. On the Administration tab, in the Administration pane, select Resource Groups. From the Resource Groups pane, select the resource group, and click Edit Resource Group. Alternatively, if you click the resource group link, click Actions and select Edit Resource Group.
• When different roles are assigned to multiple resource groups assigned to one user group in the same storage system. • When one user belongs to multiple user groups to which different roles are assigned to multiple resource groups in the same storage system. Ranked from highest to lowest, these roles are: • Admin • Modify • View If the storage system is not a P9500 Disk Array, the above scenario does not apply.
Existing user groups are displayed. 2. 3. 4. Click Create User Group and enter a name and description. Click Add Users to select the user group members. Click Add Resource Groups to assign specific storage system resources to the user group. a. For each resource group set the role (permissions) to either view, modify, or admin. 5. Click OK. The new user group is displayed. You can click the user group name to verify group membership (list of users) on the Users tab.
About configuring security options For tighter login security, you can specify security options from Command View AE Suite, such as: • Password policy conditions to prevent users from specifying easy-to-guess passwords. • Automatic locking of user accounts when successive login attempts have failed. • Display of a specific message (a warning banner) during user login. You can also set security options from the management server.
