Part I Basic information and concepts HP Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) is the software application used to configure HP SAS BL Switches, including tasks such as creating and managing hardware-based zone groups. These zone groups allocate resources for device load balancing purposes and for selectively allowing access to data. For planning purposes, zone groups and assignments can be pre-configured, even if servers or disk drives are not yet installed.
Zone group concepts Zone groups allocate resources for device load balancing purposes and for selectively allowing access to data. For planning purposes, zone groups and assignments can be pre-configured, even if servers or disk drives are not yet installed. There are two types of zone groups: • Drive bay zone groups—Group together drive bays, which can be chosen from one or more MDS600 storage enclosures or MDS600 storage enclosure drawers.
Zoning requirements and device mappings IMPORTANT: Depending on the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure model, server type, mezzanine slot used, BladeSystem server device bay, and BladeSystem interconnect bay, the zone groups that assigned to a server must be associated with storage enclosures connected to switch ports 1–4 or 5–8. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in an unsupported configuration.
For the c7000 BladeSystem enclosure, use the following table to determine which external storage enclosures to use when zoning the external storage to the server blades.
When creating a zone group: • When creating a drive bay based zone group, all the drives in the zone group should be attached to the switch through the same set of four ports shown in the table. For example, a zone group could include drives from three storage enclosures attached to ports 1, 3, and 4. However, creating a zone group using drives from two storage enclosures attached to ports 1 and 5 is not supported.
Part II VSM GUI
Contents 1 Getting started.........................................................................................12 Accessing the VSM GUI..........................................................................................................12 Page description.....................................................................................................................14 System status information.......................................................................................................
1 Getting started Accessing the VSM GUI VSM is accessed through the Onboard Administrator (OA) application of the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure in which the switch is installed. (For the minimum supported OA version, see the 3Gb SAS BL Switch QuickSpecs.) NOTE: To navigate directly to the VSM for a SAS switch, open the browser and enter the OA IP address or hostname followed by the interconnect variable. For example: https://10.10.1.
3. In the OA Systems and Devices tree, expand Interconnect Bays, select the SAS BL Switch to manage, and click Management Console to access VSM. After a few moments, the VSM GUI is displayed. NOTE: In dual-domain configurations with two switches in the same interconnect bay row of the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, both switches can process I/O, but the VSM utility can be active on only one of the switches.
Page description The VSM GUI page is divided as follows: • Tabs—Immediately below the HP Virtual SAS Manager banner and at the top-left corner of the page, tabs are major groupings of VSM tasks. ◦ Zoning tab—For creating and modifying hardware-based zone groups and granting servers access. ◦ Maintain tab—For maintenance tasks, such as setting switch parameters and updating switch firmware. • System Status section—At-a-glance system information.
System status information The System Status section displays the number and type of open status alerts. Icon Name Description Critical System is not operating properly Warning Servicing is needed Informational Helpful information Status alert details may be viewed several different ways: • To view all status messages: In the System Status section of the VSM page, click View Status Alerts.
Online help Extensive online help is available. At any time, click the Help icon in the top right of the page. The following image is an example display of the online help. Performing tasks To perform any task in the VSM, observe the following key steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 16 Select a tab at the top of the page. Select a system component in the navigation tree on the left side of the page. Select a task from the list on the right side of the page. Enter the requested information. Click Save Changes.
Configuring the switch (key steps) After physically installing the switch (or switches) in the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure and cabling them to external SAS storage enclosures, do the following to initially configure the switches: 1. 2. Go to the Maintain tab and enter all switch parameters. Key tasks include: • Enter network settings • Enter SNMP settings • Update switch firmware (if needed). • Update storage enclosure firmware (if needed).
2 Example: Configuring shared SAS storage enclosures Configuring shared SAS storage enclosures includes the following tasks, performed in sequence: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Enabling Multi-initiator Mode. Creating one or more switch port zone groups. Assigning each zone group to each server device bay that needs access to the storage enclosures associated with that zone group. Capturing the configuration for safekeeping. (Strongly recommended. Available only in VSM CLI.
The following devices are used in this example: Device type Model c-Class enclosure c7000 Server blades ProLiant BL 460c G1 and ProLiant BL 465c G1 SAS mezzanine cards P700m SAS switch blades 3Gb SAS BL Switch, installed in interconnect bays 7 and 8 External SAS storage enclosures MSA2000sa 1. Change the Multi-initiator Mode setting to Enabled. This setting allows multiple servers to be assigned the same zone group and have access to the same storage enclosure. a.
2. Create a switch port zone group. a. In the navigation tree, select Zone Groups and click Create Zone Group. NOTE: As shown in this example, when the Switch Port radio button is selected, information about devices connected to the switch ports is included in the display. b. Enter a Name for the zone group, select Switch Port, and click each port on the pair of switches to be included in the zone group. The following example creates one large zone group that includes all ports on the pair of switches.
c. After a moment, the display is refreshed, with the new, unsaved zone group displayed in the navigation tree. Click Save Changes. When the save is completed, the entry in the navigation tree is updated and shows that it is not assigned to any server device bays. NOTE: Until a server device bay is assigned a zone group, it cannot access the storage.
3. Assign the zone group to a server device bay that needs access. a. In the navigation tree, select a server device bay that needs access to the storage associated with this zone group, and then click Modify Zone Access. b. Check the box corresponding to the zone group that you want to assign to the server device bay and click OK. NOTE: All available zone groups are displayed. As shown in this example, only one large zone group was created, so it is the only zone group displayed.
c. After a moment, the display is refreshed. All items affected by the change (the zone group and the server device bay) are marked in the navigation tree. Click Save Changes. When the save is complete, the entry in the navigation tree is updated. NOTE: The zone group entry in the navigation tree now states “Assigned”. NOTE: For illustration purposes, in this example, Save Changes was performed after each configuration task.
4. Assign the zone group to another server device bay that needs access. a. In the navigation tree, select another server device bay that needs to access the storage associated with this zone group, click Modify Zone Access, and then check the box for the zone group and click OK. NOTE: Because this is switch-port based zoning for shared SAS storage enclosures with Multi-initiator mode enabled, the already assigned zone group is displayed and may also be assigned to this server device bay.
b. All items affected by the change (the zone group and the server device bay) are marked in the navigation tree. Click Save Changes. When the save is complete, the entry in the navigation tree is updated. NOTE: The zone group entry in the navigation tree now states that it is assigned to multiple server device bays. 5. As needed, repeat step 4 for each server device bay (populated or unpopulated).
6. To see details about the zone group, select the zone group in the navigation tree and click More Information. As shown in this example, the display for the zone group shows that the servers in device bays 1 and 6 have been assigned this zone group. 7. After all server device bays have been granted access to the zone group, the switch and the zoning setup is complete. a. In the VSM CLI, capture the configuration for safekeeping. (Strongly recommended) b.
3 Example: Configuring zoned SAS storage enclosures Configuring zoned SAS storage enclosure includes the following tasks, performed in sequence: 1. Disabling Multi-initiator Mode. NOTE: If tape autoloaders/libraries or shared SAS storage enclosures are also connected to the switch and multiple server device bays will need access to the same switch-port zone groups, Multi-initiator Mode must be Enabled. 2. 3. 4. 5. Creating one or more drive-bay zone groups.
The following devices are used in this example: Device type Model c-Class enclosure c7000 Server blades ProLiant BL 460c G1 and ProLiant BL 465c G1 SAS mezzanine cards P700m SAS switch blades 3Gb SAS BL Switch, installed in interconnect bays 5 and 6 External SAS storage enclosures MDS600 storage enclosure 1. Change the Multi-initiator Mode setting to Disabled. This setting controls access to the zone group, permitting only one server to access each zone group and its associated disk drives.
2. Create a drive-bay zone group. a. In the navigation tree, select Zone Groups and click Create Zone Group. NOTE: As shown in this example, when the Drive Bay radio button is selected, discovered information about each drive bay in each connected storage enclosure is included in the display. NOTE: As shown in this example, one MDS600 storage enclosure is connected to the 3Gb SAS BL switch. Displayed port information for the MDS600 indicates the cabling connections.
b. Enter a Name for the zone group, select Drive Bay, and select drive bays to be included in the zone group. The following example creates one zone group that includes 10 disk drives. Then, click OK. NOTE: group. c. After a moment, the display is refreshed, with the new, unsaved zone group displayed in the navigation tree. Click Save Changes. After the save is completed, the entry in the navigation tree is updated and shows that it is not assigned to any server device bays.
3. Assign the zone group to the server device bay that needs access. IMPORTANT: For drive-bay zone groups, restrictions apply: • Server device bays 1–8: Can only be assigned zone groups associated with switch ports 1–4. • Server device bays 9–16: can only be assigned zone groups associated with switch ports 5–8. a. In the navigation tree, select the server device bay that needs access to the storage associated with this zone group, and then click Modify Zone Access.
c. After a moment, the display is refreshed. All items affected by the change (the zone group and the server device bay) are marked in the navigation tree. Click Save Changes. When the save is complete, the entry in the navigation tree is updated. NOTE: The zone group entry in the navigation tree now states “Assigned”. NOTE: For illustration purposes, in this example, Save Changes was performed after each configuration task.
5. To see details about the zone group, select the zone group in the navigation tree and click More Information. As shown in this example, the display for the zone group shows that the server device bay 1 is assigned this zone group. 6. After all zone groups are created and assigned to server device bays, the switch and the zoning setup is complete. a. In the VSM CLI, capture the configuration for safekeeping. (Strongly recommended) b.
4 Tasks in the VSM Zoning tab After selecting a component in the navigation tree, a unique task list for that component is displayed. The following table lists the possible tasks for each system component.
More Information task To view detailed information about a device, select the device in the navigation tree and click More Information. NOTE: • The More Information task is available for each component in the navigation tree, in both the Zoning and the Maintain tabs. • If there are any status alerts for the device, they are included in the displayed information. Clear Configuration task Use this option to delete all user-defined zone groups and server device bay assignments.
Advanced Settings task The Multi-initiator mode setting controls whether more than one server device bay can be assigned the same zone group. To perform this task, select the active switch in the navigation tree, and click Advanced Settings. Options for this task include: • Disabled—(Default) Used when only zoned SAS storage enclosures are connected to the switch. When this option is selected, a zone group can be assigned to only one server device bay.
Create Zone Group task Zone groups allocate resources for device load balancing purposes and for selectively allowing access to data. There are two types of zone groups: • Drive-bay zone groups—Group together disk drive bays, which can be chosen from across multiple storage enclosures. Server device bays assigned this type of zone group have access to the disk drive bays included in the zone group, as if they are directly connected to those servers.
the server that needs access the zone group. An effective naming strategy will help manage the assignment of drive-bay zone groups to servers. • Zoning Mode—Select Drive Bay. • Drive bays—In the grid representing the storage enclosures, select the disk drive bays to be included in the zone group. To select a drive bay, click an available (white) drive bay. (The bay status is automatically updated, changing the color from white to blue.) To clear a selection, click the selected (blue) drive bay.
Switch-port zone groups To perform this task, expand the display for the active switch in the navigation tree, select Zone Group, and then click Create Zone Group. Options for this task include: • Name—Type a name to assign to the zone group (must be unique, up to 16 characters, with no spaces). • Zoning Mode—Select Switch Port. • Switch ports—In the grid representing the switches, select the ports to be included in the zone group. To select a switch port, click an available (white) port.
NOTE: • To expand or contract the display for each switch, click the arrow at the far right of the display. • In addition to the mouse, the tab, arrow keys, and space bar can be used to select or clear drives from the zone group. • Information about the switch port is included in the display. If the port is connected to a device, information about the device is displayed. If a tape device is connected to a switch port, information is shown only for the first tape drive.
Modify task Use this task to make changes to an existing zone group, including changing the zone group name, and adding or removing disk drives or ports. IMPORTANT: When using zoned SAS storage enclosures, before deleting disk drives from a zone group, logical units associated with disk drives in that zone group must be deleted.
Delete task Use this task to delete an existing zone group. After the zone group is deleted, the drive bays or ports associated with the deleted zone group will be available for selection and inclusion in a different or new zone group. IMPORTANT: When using zoned SAS storage enclosures, before deleting a zone group, logical units associated with disk drives in that zone group must be deleted.
Modify Zone Access task For each server device bay, use this task to grant or remove access to a zone group. This task is displayed only if zone groups have already been created (“Create Zone Group task” (page 37)) IMPORTANT: • Depending on the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure model, server type, mezzanine slot used, BladeSystem server device bay, and BladeSystem interconnect bay, zone groups assigned to a server must be associated with storage enclosures connected to switch ports 1–4 or 5–8.
5 Tasks in the VSM Maintain tab After selecting a the switch in the navigation tree, a task list is displayed. The following table lists the available tasks.
Update Firmware task Use this task to install new firmware on the SAS BL Switch. Firmware is pre-installed in the factory, but an updated, alternative, or preferred version may be available. After selecting this task, the currently-installed firmware version of each SAS BL Switch in the c-Class enclosure is displayed in the task section of the screen.
Obtaining new firmware Two types of firmware packages are available for download: • SmartComponent—Used when performing offline updates using the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO. • Image file—Used with the VSM update process. Firmware can be obtained from several HP websites, including: • HP BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/c-class.
Procedures To update SAS BL Switch firmware using the VSM, do the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Obtain the latest firmware files and save to a temporary location on the host that has network access to the device you want to update. For more information, see “Obtaining new firmware” (page 46). From the workstation with access to both the firmware file and the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, access the VSM for the switch. Click the refresh icon to ensure that you are viewing the latest status information.
12. In single-domain configurations, after the update is complete, restart the devices. Apply power in the following sequence: a. Restart storage enclosures. b. Restart server blades. c. Restart I/O.
Reset Hardware task Because the switch does not have a power button, use this option to restart the switch. IMPORTANT: This task will disrupt host I/O to the storage enclosures. To perform this task, expand the display for the switch in the navigation tree, and then click Reset Hardware. NOTE: • This task is required after updating switch firmware.
Update Storage Enclosure Firmware task Use this task to install new firmware on MDS600 storage enclosures that are directly connected to the SAS BL Switch. Firmware is pre-installed in the factory, but an updated, alternative, or preferred version may be available.

Part III VSM CLI
Contents 7 Getting started.........................................................................................59 Accessing the VSM CLI............................................................................................................59 Command syntax....................................................................................................................61 Example command............................................................................................................
7 Getting started The VSM Command Line Interface (CLI) is an interactive command console that provides instant feedback and is functionally equivalent to the VSM graphical user interface (GUI). However, the following capabilities are unique to the VSM CLI: • Capturing the configuration for safekeeping. • Inputting (or restoring) the saved configuration on a switch. Commands are entered at a command prompt (=>) and must follow a specific, preset syntax.
3. Launch the SSH utility on a PC that can access the same LAN as the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure. The following example illustrates using the PuTTY utility. a. b. c. 4. Enter the VSM CLI IP addresses in the Host Name (or IP address) field. Verify that the SSH radio button is selected. Click Open. The SSH shell opens. When prompted, enter an OA username and password with administrative privileges.
Command syntax A typical VSM CLI command string consists of three variables: a target device, a command, and a clarifying parameter. The syntax of a VSM CLI command line is as follows: target command [parameter=
bladeenclosure ABC command [parameter=value] bladebay 6 command [parameter=value] switch local command [parameter=value] storageenclosure all command [parameter=value] About the command variable The command variable instructs the system to perform a task. The following commands are supported: 62 Command syntax Command description add Add an entry to an existing configuration element. advance Modify advanced settings, such as the multi-initiator mode.
For more information about the syntax or how to use these commands, use the VSM CLI help command. For more information about the help command, see “The help command” (page 65). About the parameter variable Most commands require a parameter to clarify the action. Some parameters are optional and, if not entered for a command, the default value is used. The specific parameters and values that are valid for a given command depend on the target to which you apply the command.
Executing commands Configuration changes are made on a transaction basis. To prevent conflict with another administrator making changes through a different VSM GUI or CLI session, you must indicate when you are starting, saving, or clearing your changes by using the following commands: startupdate saveupdate clearupdate • Before entering add, create, delete, or modify commands, enter startupdate to start the transaction.
Getting help The help and the show commands provide detailed information about system devices and how to use VSM CLI commands to perform configuration tasks. The help command The help command displays information about a VSM CLI command, including a definition, required syntax, available parameters, the number of characters for a command option value, or a list of allowed/disallowed characters.
Example 2: The following example displays the results of the show command for an HP BladeSystem enclosure when the config parameter is specified.
Example 3: The following example displays the results of the show command for a blade enclosure device bay.
8 Performing common tasks Example commands and system responses shown in this section are provided only as a general reference and may differ from the commands used and system responses in your environment. For more information on the available options for each command, see VSM CLI online help.
Enabling or disabling multi-initiator mode Multi-initiator mode controls whether more than one server device bay can be assigned the same zone group. • Disabled—(Default) Used when only zoned SAS storage enclosures are connected to the switch. When this option is selected, a zone group can be assigned to only one server device bay. • Enabled—Used when shared SAS storage enclosures or tape autoloader/libraries are connected to the switch.
Creating a switch-port zone group Used with shared SAS storage enclosures or tape autoloaders or libraries, switch port zone groups are comprised of one or more SAS ports on the switch. Server device bays assigned this type of zone group have access to the array enclosures or tape devices connected to the ports included in the zone group. Access to specific LUNs in the array enclosures must be controlled through the storage management utility for the array enclosure.
1. [Optional] Verify the status of the switch and switch ports. Use the show command to determine which switch ports are available. NOTE: The bsp parameter specifies that you want to show “blade switch port” information. The display of this example is abbreviated, retaining key details.
NOTE: Entering a range of port numbers is not supported. Each port must be entered individually, separated by a comma. 3. [Optional] Verify that the zone group was created as intended. For example, use one of the following commands: => sw local bsp all show detail => sw local zg OpenZone show The display of this example is abbreviated, retaining key details. The display shows information for the switch installed in interconnect bay 7, and that ports 1 and 2 are included in zone group named OpenZone.
Creating a drive-bay zone group Used with zoned SAS storage enclosures such as the MDS600, drive-bay zone groups group together disk drive bays, which can be chosen from across multiple storage enclosures. Server device bays assigned this type of zone group have access to the disk drive bays included in the zone, as if they were directly connected to those servers. Before creating a zone group, ensure that all storage enclosures are physically connected to the switch and ready for use. NOTE: • 1.
2. Create the zone group. This example shows how to create a zone group named zone5, using drive bays 29 through 35 on a storage enclosure connected to port 1 of a switch in interconnect bay 7. => sw local startupdate Success => sw local create type=zg zonegroupname=zone5 seb=71:1:29,71:1:30,71:1:31, 71:1:32,71:1:33,71:1:34,71:1:35 Success => sw local saveupdate Success 3. [Optional] Verify that the zone group was created as intended.
Assigning a zone group to a server device bay Server bays cannot access external storage connected to the switch until assigned a zone group. IMPORTANT: • Depending on the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure model, server type, mezzanine slot used, BladeSystem server device bay, and BladeSystem interconnect bay, zone groups assigned to a server must be associated with storage enclosures connected to switch ports 1–4 or 5–8. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in an unsupported configuration.
2. Assign the zone group to the server device bay. This example shows how to assign ozone group zone5 to server device bay 5. => sw local startupdate Success => bb 5 add zg=zone5 Success => sw local saveupdate Success 3. [Optional] Verify that the zone group was assigned as intended. For example, use one of the following commands: => bb all show detail => sw local zg all show detail The display of this example is abbreviated, retaining key details.
Capturing the configuration After initially configuring the switch or after making changes to an existing configuration, HP strongly recommends backing up the configuration for safekeeping. NOTE: The configuration can be backed up to an FTP server or temporarily saved to the switch and then transferred to a different location using a secure copy tool. Example secure copy tools include pscp.exe for Windows and scp for Linux. Syntax capture [file=] [ftp] [ipaddr=
Inputting or restoring the configuration To restore a previously saved configuration of a switch, use the following command description: NOTE: A configuration can be installed on a switch directly from an FTP server or by using a secure copy tool to temporarily save the configuration to the switch and then install it. Example secure copy tools include pscp.exe for Windows and scp for Linux. Syntax input [file=] [ftp] [ipaddr=
Flashing switch firmware To update firmware on a switch, use the following command description: NOTE: • Firmware must first be obtained from the HP website and saved to an FTP server or local directory on the workstation with access to the switch. • Before updating firmware, review system requirements and other information in the firmware release notes, device QuickSpecs, and other user documents. • Before updating firmware, issue the rescan command to ensure displayed information is current.
Flashing storage enclosure firmware To update firmware on an attached zoned SAS storage enclosure such as the MDS600, use the following command description: NOTE: • Firmware must first be obtained from the HP website and saved to an FTP server or a local directory on the workstation with access to the switch. • Before updating firmware, review system requirements and other information in the firmware release notes, device QuickSpecs, and other user documents.
NOTE: In dual-domain configurations with two switches installed in the same interconnect bay row of the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, if storage enclosures connected to the passive switch are not updated at the same time as the storage enclosures connected to the active switch, log out of the CLI session of the active switch. Log into the CLI of the passive switch and change its status to active by entering the command sw local force active.
Resetting the switch or attached storage enclosures To restart the switch or an attached zoned SAS storage enclosure such as the MDS600, use the following command description: Syntax reset [hardware|software] [forced] Example 1: This example demonstrates restarting the switch: => sw local reset hardware Example 2: This example demonstrates restarting the VSM application on the switch (required after updating switch network settings): => sw local reset software Example 3: This example demonstrat
