1 Initial cluster configuration The HP StorageWorks 4400 Scalable NAS system is shipped with the cluster already configured. Networks HP Clustered File System uses a local network for its administrative traffic. This network has been configured with IP addresses in the 172.31.0.n network using VLAN #2 on the ProCurve 2910 network switch. VLAN #2 includes the first eight ports on the switch. This private network must not be connected to your network.
Command View on ABM Command View runs on the Array Based Management Module (ABM), which is part of the EVA 4400 controller. The ABM is configured at the factory with IP address 172.31.0.20 and can be accessed from a browser or one of the cluster servers at: htttps://172.31.0.20:2372/ Login as Administrator and use hpinvent as the password. For convenience, the ABM can be transferred from the private VLAN2 to public VLAN1. To do this, complete the following steps: 1. 2. 3.
1. Use Command View on ABM to configure the LUNs to be used for the filesystem and make them visible to the HP 4400 Scalable NAS system. 2. Open the HP CFS Management Console, which can be used for the following steps. 3. Import the disks into the cluster. This step allows the cluster to control access to the disks. See “Configure the SAN” in the HP Clustered File System administration guide. 4. Create a dynamic volume. Dynamic volumes allow large PSFS filesystems to span multiple disks or LUNs.
Hardware snapshots HP Clustered File System is configured to take hardware snapshots or snapclones on the EVA 4400 array. For more information, see “Manage Hardware Snapshots” in the HP Clustered File System administration guide. Stand-alone version of HP CFS Management Console The HP CFS Management Console is available in a stand-alone version that can be installed on an Windows system outside the cluster.
