B Enhancing Security with Data Encryption HP 3PAR Data Encryption security feature allows you to encrypt all specifically formatted hard drives on the storage system with an authentication key and the use of Self Encrypting Drives (SEDs). When a Data Encryption license is registered, you must manually enable the encryption feature on the system. When the encryption feature is enabled successfully, all the drives in the system become automatically set in an encrypted state.
C Adding Disk Drives and Expansion Drive Enclosures HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 products include 3PAR licensing that enables all functionality associated with the system. A failure to register the license key may limit access and restrict upgrading of your system. Before you proceed with upgrading, verify all applicable licenses associated with the system are registered. For assistance with registering HP software licenses, visit http://hp.com/support.
NOTE: SSDs have a limited number of writes that can occur before reaching the SSD's write endurance limit. This limit is generally high enough so wear out will not occur during the expected service life of an HP 3PAR StoreServ under the great majority of configurations, IO patterns, and workloads. HP 3PAR StoreServ tracks all writes to SSDs and can report the percent of the total write endurance limit that has been used.
Adding Disk Drives There are five processes for adding hard drives: • Checking initial status • Inserting hard drives • Checking status • Checking progress • Completing the upgrade Checking Initial Status Under Systems, select Physical Disks, and in the right pane, select the Physical Disks tab. Figure 90 Physical Disks Tab Inserting Disk Drives In this example, two disk drives are added to each of the three enclosures.
Figure 91 New State of Inserted Disk Drives Within 6 minutes (depending on the system load and the size of the upgrade), the State of the new disk drives changes to Normal, and the system starts to initialize the chunklets to ready for use. Output indicates that each of the six added disk drives still have normal and spare chunklets to be initialized. NOTE: The system can be used normally, but newly added capacity must be initialized before it can be allocated.
Completing the Upgrade In the Systems pane, select Physical Disks, and then select the Physical Disks tab. On the Physical Disks tab, in the drop-down list, select Chunklet Usage. Figure 93 Upgrade Completion Display Chunklet initialization can take several hours to complete and the output of the available capacity is displayed. NOTE: The system can be used normally, but newly added capacity must be initialized before it can be allocated.
D Installing HP 3PAR Storage Software When HP 3PAR SmartStart is Unavailable Use the following instructions to manually launch the setup wizards to configure the SP and StoreServ from a browser if you are not using HP 3PAR SmartStart or SmartStart is unavailable. Review the prerequisites and information about storage and system components before proceeding.
E Validating Remote Support After making any networking changes or if the Service Processor Setup Wizard is unable to verify remote support connectivity, use the SPMaint module in SPOCC to test the communication with remote support. NOTE: For a current list of supported browsers for SPOCC, see the Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge for HP Storage Products (SPOCK), located at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock. 1. Open a supported type of web browser.
5. 6. Click Test 3PAR Secure Service Collector Server. Verify the SPOCC displays Connectivity test to HP 3PAR Secure Service Collector Server successful. Figure 97 SPOCC Communication Results 7. Verify the Service Processor is transferring files successfully by doing the following steps: a. Click Home to return to the SPOCC home page. The Transfer Status entry indicates the overall status of SP file transfer. b. c. To access the SP File Transfer Monitor, click Transfer Status.
F Identifying Physical Locations of the Logical Cage Numbers Use the following CLI commands to identify the physical locations of the logical cage numbers. Enter the numbers into the diagram below and then store them on the storage system admin volume by following these instructions. 1. Issue showcage to display the drive cage numbers/names 2. Issue locatecage cage where cage is the drive cage number/name, to blink the LEDs on the front of the drive cage. This will be performed one cage at a time. 3.
G Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Duplicate IP Address Issues If the wizard cannot configure the permanent IP address you entered because it is already in use: 1. Click Stop to stop the Apply Settings process and return to the Service Processor Setup wizard. 2. Click the Prev button until you reach Step 2: SP Networking. 3. Determine an available IPv4 address to use for the Service Processor and enter that IP address in the IP Address text box. 4.
