1 Introduction Simple SAN Connection Manager is a GUI-based management application for basic handling of SAN components such as host bus adapters (HBAs), switches, and storage arrays (also referred to as “subsystems” in this guide). For managing storage arrays, it uses Microsoft’s Virtual Disk Service (VDS). Simple SAN Connection Manager provides simplified storage management for VDS-compliant storage devices in a single, integrated, wizard-based user interface.
• “Troubleshooting,” page 133, provides solutions to some common issues you might encounter. • “Glossary,” page 139, defines terms used in this guide. In addition, at the end of this guide is an index to help you easily locate information. What’s new in this release Simple SAN Connection Manager version 2.
2 Installing, upgrading, and removing Simple SAN Connection Manager This chapter provides procedures for installing and upgrading Simple SAN Connection Manager on a Windows management station, and for installing and upgrading the required software components on other servers. It also provides procedures for removing Simple SAN Connection Manager from a Windows system, as well as removing the software components from Linux servers.

NOTE: Colored text in the New Logical Disk Server Presentation dialog box has specific meanings, for example: • The FC HBA name is blue if it has a physical connection to the logical disk subsystem.
Figure 61 New HBA Port Names dialog box b. In the first box, enter the world wide port name (WWPN) of the HBA. You can enter the HBA WWPN formatted as either 20 consecutive alphanumeric characters, or as 10 two-digit segments separated by hyphens; for example, xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. c. In the second box, enter the name of the server on which the HBA(s) are installed. If you do not know the name of the server, enter Unknown. d.
10. To configure another new logical disk, click Add. To remove a logical disk from the list and prevent its creation, select the logical disk, and then click Remove. NOTE: Simple SAN Connection Manager allows you to create multiple logical disks at once to both HP EVA and HP MSA 2000 family storage arrays. However, if you have HP MSA 1000/1500 storage arrays, you can create only one new logical disk at a time. 11. When you are satisfied with your settings for the new logical disk, click Next. 12.
NOTE: If you present (assign) a logical disk to a Windows system, you can instead use the system’s Disk Management option to create partitions and assign a drive letter or mount path on partitions. 1. To access Computer Management, choose one of the following options: • Open the Windows Control Panel, select Administrative Tools, and then select Computer Management. • On the Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Manage. 2.
• To allow access to individual HBAs, select each HBA in the Servers and HBAs/Initiators available to allow access to the selected Logical Disk list, and then click Add. • To allow access to all of the HBAs and servers shown in the Servers and HBAs/Initiators available to allow access to the selected Logical Disk list, click Add All. The HBAs and servers selected to grant access are listed under Servers and HBAs/Initiators allowed to have access to the selected Logical Disk. 4.
Expanding a logical disk Simple SAN Connection Manager enables you to easily increase the size of logical disks within your SAN. To expand a logical disk: 1. To access the Expand Logical Disk dialog box, choose one of the following options: • On the Logical Disk Operations menu, click Expand Logical Disk. • In the navigation pane or the content pane’s LUN Assignment map, right-click the logical disk icon, and then on the shortcut menu, click Expand Logical Disk.
NOTE: Logical disk (LUN) expansion is a direct request to the subsystem to expand the logical disk size using unused space. The servers that have access to this logical disk might not recognize the new space for the disk until the server is rebooted or some software is invoked to discover the new size. In Windows, for example, you can use the Diskpart command-line utility to extend the volume to the newly-added space. In Linux, you can use the lvextend command to extend the size of a logical volume.
Creating an alias for a logical disk You can create alias (user-friendly) names for logical disks (LUNs) to help you easily identify them in Simple SAN Connection Manager. To create an alias for a logical disk: 1. On the LUN Assignment map, right-click a logical disk (LUN) icon, and then on the shortcut menu, click Create Alias for Logical Disk. The Create Alias for Logical Disk dialog box (Figure 67) shows the logical disk name and identifier. Figure 67 Create Alias for Logical Disk dialog box 2.

Refreshing the storage subsystem list Simple SAN Connection Manager provides the ability to quickly refresh a subsystem on your SAN. Refreshing the subsystem list shows the most current topology of your SAN in the Physical Connection and LUN Assignment maps. It also discovers any status change in the subsystem’s drives, controllers, and logical disks. To refresh the storage subsystem list: 1.
IMPORTANT: Refreshing the subsystem could take a while depending on the number of subsystems, each subsystem’s IO traffic, and its number of drives and logical disks. 2. To continue, click Yes. Updating storage subsystem firmware When Simple SAN Connection Manager starts up, it compares the current storage subsystem firmware version to the firmware version available on the HP website. If it detects an available firmware update, it prompts you to download the latest update, as shown in Figure 90.

Figure 101 Storage Deployment wizard: create MSA storage pools (custom deployment) 4. On either the Create Your Disk Groups or Create Your Storage Pools wizard window, create one or more disk groups or storage pools as follows: a. The Total Physical Disks box specifies the quantity of disks in this subsystem. The total number of disks you allot to your disk groups or storage pools must not exceed this quantity.
Group Figure 102 Storage Deployment wizard: create logical disks for EVA (custom deployment) Figure 103 Storage Deployment wizard: create logical disks for MSA (custom deployment) 5. On the Create Your Logical Disks wizard window, create one or more logical disks—for the disk group or storage pool name shown in either the Disk Group or Storage Pool box—as follows: a.
e. (Optional) To create another logical disk, click Add. f. (Optional) To remove a logical disk, select it, and then click Delete. g. When you are finished adding, editing, and deleting logical disks for this disk group or storage pool, click Next to continue. 6. If you have multiple disk groups (for EVA storage), the wizard window shown in Figure 102 appears for the next disk group.
If the custom configuration deployment completes successfully, the wizard informs you. If the partition is created from the LUNs, it lists the volume name and drive letter assigned for each LUN, as shown in Figure 106.
Managing storage subsystems
A Troubleshooting This appendix provides answers regarding the following: • Dynamic disk support—see page 133. • Launch-time support—see page 133. • Linux server on my local SAN is not discovered—see page 134. • Lost aliases support—see page 134. • New server support—see page 135. • OS support—see page 135. • Refresh Subsystem List support—see page 135. • Simple SAN Connection Manager does not discover my subsystems—see page 136. • Simple SAN Connection Manager does not start up—see page 136.
Why is the Linux Server on my local SAN not discovered? Symptoms: A new Linux server has been added to the SAN, and it has the appropriate Simple SAN Connection Manager Agent running, but the Linux server is not being discovered by the Windows 2003 Simple SAN Connection Manager server. Solution: If the local SAN is not running DNS, then there is no Domain Name Server to perform the name server-to-IP resolution for the newly-attached server.
I brought a new server online and connected it to both the SAN and LAN, but Simple SAN Connection Manager does not see it. Why not? Symptoms: If Simple SAN Connection Manager has already been launched prior to a new server being turned on and connected to the LAN and SAN, Simple SAN Connection Manager does not automatically see this server. Solution: Possible solutions include: • Click Refresh the Server List (see “Refreshing the server list” on page 103).
When I open Simple SAN Connection Manager, why doesn’t it discover my subsystems? Symptoms: This can be caused by several factors: • Another application is running on the same or different system and connects to the subsystem. Some storage subsystems only allow a single application to connect and perform management functions on them. • The subsystems do not have an FC link to the Simple SAN Connection Manager system.
In the Logical Disk Server Presentation dialog box, it shows “Unknown Server.” What does this mean? Symptoms: An Unknown Server may appear if: • The logical disk in the storage subsystem is assigned to an HBA, but the application cannot discover that HBA in any of the servers. • The server is offline. • The HBA is from a vendor other than HP. • You made specific changes to an HBA (for example, changing the type).
Troubleshooting
Glossary adapter See HBA (host bus adapter). BIOS Basic Input Output System (typically in Flash PROM). The program (or utility) that serves as an interface between the hardware and the operating system and allows booting from the HBA at startup. controller A hardware device that facilitates communication between a host and one or more LUNs organized as an array. device A target, typically a disk drive.
HBA port alias A user-defined name for an HBA port. host The computer system on which the Simple SAN Connection Manager software is running. IP security IPsec (IP security) is a suite of protocols for securing Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet in a data stream. IPsec also includes protocols for cryptographic key establishment.
path A path to a device is a combination of a HBA port instance and a target port as distinct from internal paths in the fabric network. A fabric network appears to the operating system as an opaque network between the HBA (initiator) and the target. Since a path is a combination of an HBA and a target port, it is distinct from another path if it is accessed through a different HBA and/or it is accessing a different target port.
target The storage-device endpoint of a SCSI session. Initiators request data from targets. Targets are typically disk-drives, tape-drives, or other media devices. Typically a SCSI peripheral device is the target, but a host bus adapter may, in some cases, be a target. A target can contain many LUNs. A target is a device that responds to a requested by an initiator (the host system). Peripherals are targets, but for some commands (for example, a SCSI COPY command), the peripheral may act as an initiator.
