1 Introduction HP NetRAID Series Adapters The HP NetRAID-3Si (D5955A) and HP NetRAID-1Si (D2140A), adapters provide an interface between the host system and a disk array storage system. The adapters use the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) standard to control data transfers on one to three SCSI channels. The HP NetRAID Series adapters support the operating systems listed below, for which drivers are provided. Refer to your HP NetServer documentation for the operating systems supported on your server.
Chapter 1 CAUTION Introduction To use the HP NetRAID-1Si or HP NetRAID-3Si adapter you must update the adapter’s latest version of firmware for proper operation. The latest version of firmware for each HP NetRAID Series adapter can be downloaded from the HP web site at: http://www.hp.com/go/netserver Features of the HP NetRAID Series Adapters The HP NetRAID-3Si and HP NetRAID-1Si adapters are high-performance, intelligent PCI-to-SCSI host adapters with RAID control capabilities.
Chapter 1 Introduction HP NetRAID-3Si The HP NetRAID-3Si adapter has three channels with both internal and external connections.
Chapter 1 Introduction HP NetRAID-1Si The HP NetRAID-1Si adapter supports one SCSI channel using either an internal or external connection.
Chapter 1 Introduction Adapter Hardware and Battery-backed Cache IOP: The I/O processor (IOP) directs all functions of the adapter, including command processing, PCI and SCSI bus transfers, RAID processing, drive rebuilding, cache management, and error recovery. • The IOP for the HP NetRAID-3Si adapter is the 32-bit Intel i960RD® Intelligent I/O RISC processor running at 66 MHz. • The IOP for the HP NetRAID-1Si adapter is the 32-bit Intel i960RP® Intelligent I/O RISC processor running at 33 MHz.
Chapter 1 Introduction SCSI Termination and Firmware Termination: Active termination on the SCSI bus conforms to Alternative 2 of the SCSI-2 specifications. Termination enable/disable is automatic through cable detection. Firmware: The HP NetRAID Series firmware handles all RAID and SCSI command processing and also supports the following functions: • Disconnect/Reconnect feature optimizes SCSI Bus seek.
Chapter 1 Introduction settings. (Adapter settings include such parameters as the Rebuild Rate, Power Fail Safeguard, and Autorebuild.) NOTE The HP NetRAID Config and HP NetRAID Express Tools utilities save logical drive settings only and do not save adapter settings. Support for Clustering The HP NetRAID Series adapters can be used with HP NetServer clusters. HP NetServer clusters provide reliable, increased-availability solutions for applications where unplanned downtime is unacceptable.

Usually a flat 1/4-inch screwdriver and a T15 Torx® driver is required.
2 RAID Overview This chapter summarizes concepts and terminology used to describe RAID systems. It describes the different RAID levels available with the HP NetRAID Series adapters. For definitions of terms not introduced here, see the Glossary. RAID Overview HP NetRAID Series adapters let you link multiple hard disk drives together and write data across them as if they were one large drive.
Chapter 2 RAID Overview Arrays can combine disk drives that are all on one channel, or they can combine disk drives from two or three different channels. Hot Spare A hot spare is a powered-on, stand-by disk drive that is ready for use should another disk drive fail. When a disk fails, the HP NetRAID adapter’s firmware can automatically rebuild the data from the failed disk onto the hot spare.
Chapter 2 RAID Overview The nine physical drives are in three arrays (A0, A1, and A2) with one global hot spare. Figure 2-3. Sample Configuration with Three Arrays and Three Logical Drives Understanding RAID Levels During installation, you configure your logical drives by running a disk array configuration utility. Each of the logical drives you define must have an assigned RAID level. Each RAID level has different advantages in terms of performance, redundancy, and capacity.
Chapter 2 RAID Overview Arrays with No Redundancy: RAID Level 0 RAID 0: Striping In RAID 0 configurations, data is distributed among hard disks in the array via an algorithm called striping. Data written to a logical drive is divided into pieces called blocks. RAID 0 provides no data redundancy. If one hard disk fails, the data is lost from the entire logical drive and must be retrieved from a backup copy.
Chapter 2 RAID Overview Non-spanned Arrays with Redundancy: RAID Levels 1, 3, and 5 RAID 1: Mirroring In RAID 1 configurations, data on one disk is completely duplicated on another disk. This is called mirroring. RAID 1 must be configured on a two-disk array. (The array cannot contain more than two disk drives.) With this algorithm, if either of the two disks fail, data is available from the duplicate disk.
Chapter 2 RAID Overview RAID 3: Striping with Dedicated Parity In RAID 3 configurations, each data stripe generates one parity block to provide redundancy and data protection. The parity block is encoded information that can be used to reconstruct the data on that stripe if one of the disks fails. RAID 3 configurations dedicate one disk in the array to store all parity blocks.
Chapter 2 RAID Overview RAID 5: Striping with Distributed Parity RAID 5 is the most common configuration because it provides good overall performance and data protection with a minimum loss of storage capacity. RAID 5 distributes the parity blocks equally among all disk drives to achieve better overall performance than if a dedicated parity disk is used (RAID 3).
Chapter 2 RAID Overview Spanned Arrays: RAID Levels 10, 30, and 50 With HP NetRAID Series adapters, array spanning allows the capacity of two, three, or four arrays to be combined into a single storage space. A spanned array configuration must have the same number of disk drives in each array: each array can have two disks, three disks, four disks, and so on.
Chapter 2 RAID Overview RAID 30: Spanning with Dedicated Parity Drives In RAID 30 configurations, parity blocks provide redundancy to a logical drive that spans two, three, or four arrays. (RAID 30 is a RAID 3 configuration with array spanning.
Chapter 2 RAID Overview RAID 50: Spanning with Distributed Parity In RAID 50 configurations, parity blocks are distributed throughout the logical drive that spans two, three, or four arrays. (RAID 50 is a RAID 5 configuration with array spanning.

3 Installation and Configuration Overview To install and configure your HP NetRAID Series adapter, you need to perform the following steps. Steps A through N are described in Chapters 4 through 7 of this guide. Step A. Plan Hardware (Chapter 4 and Worksheet A) Step H. Save Configuration and Initialize (Chapter 5) Step B. Plan Arrays and Logical Drives (Chapter 4 and Worksheets A and B) Step I. Decide Which I2O or Non- I2O Operation (Chapter 6) Step C. Prepare the Adapter (Chapter 5) Step J.
Chapter 3 Installation and Configuration Overview Once you have installed and configured your new adapter, refer to Chapter 9, "Managing Servers Over the Network," and the HP NetRAID Series User Guide for information on managing your adapter from a remote location. Chapter 10, "Understanding HP NetRAID Utilities," provides menu maps for the three utilities that are available to manage your HP NetRAID system.
4 Planning Overview Before attempting to install and configure your disk array subsystem, you should invest some time in planning the configuration that best suits your computing environment. The options you choose depend on factors such as the host operating system used and your requirements for data protection, performance, and capacity. This chapter guides you through the planning process. • Step A, Plan Your Hardware, is the first step. • Step B, Plan Arrays and Logical Drives, is the second step.
Chapter 4 Planning • Performance requirements • Storage capacity requirements • Whether you want hot spare capability Sample Worksheet A Figure 4-1 shows a sample Configuration Worksheet A. (See Appendix C for a complete explanation of this example.
Chapter 4 Planning Multiple Adapters The disk array drivers and firmware will support up to six adapters, but your particular model of HP NetServer may have fewer PCI slots available. Be sure to check your system’s PCI I/O slot availability and any slot restrictions before purchasing another adapter. If you will be configuring more than one adapter, make one photocopy of Worksheets A and B for each adapter.
Chapter 4 Planning Table 4-1.
Chapter 4 Planning LH 4/4r Slots 7 and 8 Slots 7 and 8 LH 3000/3000r Slots 1-6 Slots 1-6 LH 6000/6000r Slots 1-6 Slots 1-6 LPr Slots 1 and 2 Slots 1 and 2 LT 6000r Slot 2 Only Slots 1 and 2 LX/LXe/ LXr Pro/LX Pro/LXe Pro/LXrPro 8 Slots 3 and 4 Slots 3 and 4 LXr 8000 Slots 7 and 8 Slots 7 and 8 LXr 8500 Slots 1-6 Slots 1-6 NOTE Under IBM OS/2 Warp and OS/2 E-Business, limited to 4 HP NetRAID Series adapters, including integrated HP NetRAID controller Supports maximum of 4 HP NetRAI
Chapter 4 Planning Boot Order The slot you choose for the adapter could affect the boot order of your devices. The boot order differs among systems, so consult the mass storage section of your system documentation for boot order information. (If you need to prevent booting from the adapter, follow the instructions in Chapter 6, Step M during the installation.
Chapter 4 Planning Channels ! In this section you determine which physical devices will connect to each SCSI channel of the adapter. Record the SCSI ID number and physical capacity of each disk drive in the correct channel on Worksheet A. No two devices on a single channel can have the same SCSI ID. SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the HP NetRAID Series adapter.
Chapter 4 Planning Step B. Plan Arrays and Logical Drives There are two ways to set up arrays and logical drives. • Automatic configuration is explained for those users who do not want to customize their arrays and logical drives. • Custom configurations permit you to create exactly the configuration that best suits your needs. Automatic Configuration Automatic mode defines the arrays and logical drives for you, and sets their parameters. It makes configuration easy.
Chapter 4 Planning If Automatic configuration will suit your needs, you can proceed to Chapter 5, "Installation and Configuration." However, you are encouraged to read the entire planning section to determine whether or not a custom configuration would better meet your needs.
Chapter 4 Planning When you create your arrays, you should look ahead toward the logical drives that you will configure later. (Logical drives are discussed in "Plan Logical Drives" later in this chapter.) Here are some considerations about logical drives that might impact how you set up your arrays: • Consider what RAID levels you will need. ◊ Different RAID levels require different minimum numbers of physical drives.
Chapter 4 Planning Figure 4-2. Three Logical Drives Where Each Array Uses a Different Channel Figure 4-3 shows the same configuration, except Array A1 contains physical drives from both Channel 0 and Channel 1, and Array 2 contains physical drives on Channels 1 and 2. Figure 4-3.
Chapter 4 Planning Plan Hot Spares (Optional) ! On Worksheet A for each adapter, log any hot spare disk modules and indicate whether each is global or dedicated to a particular array. A hot spare is a powered-on, stand-by disk that is ready for use should another disk fail. When a disk fails, the disk array controller’s firmware can automatically rebuild the data from the failed disk onto the hot spare. Unless a rebuild occurs, a hot spare does not contain user data.
Chapter 4 Planning Plan Logical Drives Logical drives are virtual drives configured within an array or across arrays. Logical drives can take three forms: • A logical drive can use all of the storage capacity of one array. • A logical drive can use less than the available storage capacity of one array. The remaining capacity can be used by one or more logical drives. • A logical drive can span arrays by using capacity in two, three, or four different arrays.
Chapter 4 Planning ◊ Although each drive in an array must have the same capacity, one logical drive can span two or more arrays with different capacities. For example, one array might contain three drives of 4 MB each, and the second array might contain three drives of 12 MB each. One logical drive can span both of these arrays. ◊ Spanned arrays must be numbered consecutively.
Chapter 4 Planning Logical Drives, RAID Levels, and Array Spanning ! On Worksheet B, logical drives are numbered LD0 through LD7.
Chapter 4 Planning Write Policy ! When the IOP writes to disk, the data is first written to the cache on the assumption that the IOP will read it again soon. The two Write policies are: • Write-Through: In a write-through cache, data is written to disk at the same time it is cached. This setting provides better security because entries are always copied to disk.
Chapter 4 Planning Read Policy ! The three Read policies for HP NetRAID are: • Read-Ahead: This is a memory caching feature that tells the adapter to read sequentially ahead of requested data and cache the additional data in memory, anticipating that the additional data will be requested. ReadAhead supplies sequential data faster, but it is not as efficient when accessing random data. • Normal: This policy does not use the read-ahead memory caching feature.
5 Installation and Configuration Overview This chapter covers Steps C, D, E, F, G, and H of the installation procedure. You should already have completed Step A, "Plan Your Hardware," and Step B, "Plan Arrays and Logical Drives" in Chapter 4. Step C. Prepare the Adapter In this step you install the adapter into the HP NetServer.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration If the Adapter is Too Long Some HP NetServers, such as the HP NetServer LXr Pro8, do not have space for a full-length PCI board. If the adapter is too long, remove the board extender (plastic "handle") from the HP NetRAID-3Si adapter before you install the adapter, as shown in Figure 5-1. Remove the board extender now, before you connect the Battery Backup Unit. Save the board extender for future use if you move the adapter to another system. Figure 5-1.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration Install Additional Memory For the HP NetRAID-3Si adapter, cache memory resides in a 16-MB batterybacked 60-ns EDO (Extended Data Output) DRAM SIMM. You can upgrade the cache memory to 64-MB, using the D7132A SIMM Upgrade for HP NetRAID-3Si. To upgrade cache memory: 1. Verify that the Battery Backup Unit is not plugged in on the HP NetRAID-3Si adapter. 2. Install the new SIMM according to the instructions supplied with the additional memory.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration To connect the battery pack, plug the connector on the wire in the lower-left corner into the connector at J21, as shown in Figure 5-2. The connector is keyed to make sure the proper connection is made. Figure 5-2.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration Step D. Install the Adapter In this step, you will: • Turn off the HP NetServer and remove the necessary covers or open the panels • Install the adapter Turn Off the HP NetServer and Open It CAUTION HP NetRAID Series Accessory boards are not hot pluggable. Unplug HP NetServer power cord(s) before installing a HP NetRAID Series board.
Chapter 5 CAUTION Installation and Configuration Before removing the cover, always disconnect the power cord(s) and unplug telephone cables. Disconnect the power cord to avoid exposure to high energy levels that may cause burns when parts are short-circuited by metal objects, such as tools or jewelry. Disconnect telephone cables to avoid exposure to shock hazard from telephone ringing voltages. Note that the power switch does not turn off standby power in some HP NetServers.
Chapter 5 3. Installation and Configuration Install the adapter by following the installation instructions for installing PCI boards in your host system manual and on the chassis labels. Align the adapter card bus connector into the slot. Ensure that it does not physically interfere with adjacent cards. Press the card gently but firmly into the slot to seat it properly. The bottom edge of the card should be flush with the slot. Secure the adapter to the system chassis with a mounting screw.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration • For backplane connectors with locking ears, open the locking ears before inserting the SCSI cable. ΝΟΤΕ For HP NetRAID-3Si, the external connectors for Channels 0 and 2 are very close together and require D6020A cables with offset connectors. Some nonstandard cable configurations and switch settings are listed in the HP NetServer documentation. Refer to the mass storage section of your system documentation for details on HP NetServer configurations.
Chapter 5 CAUTION Installation and Configuration Handle disk modules carefully. They are more susceptible to shock, vibration, and electrostatic discharge when they are not in the cabinet. When removing a module while the system is powered on, disengage the module and wait for it to stop spinning before removing it from its hot-swap slot. Also, do not touch the SCSI edge connector pins. The oils on your skin could impair the electrical connection.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration 1. When the HP NetServer Navigator Main Menu is displayed, choose NetServer Utilities. 2. Choose Configure Disk Array from the NetServer Utilities screen. This launches the HP NetRAID Assistant utility. Step G. Configure Arrays and Logical Drives In this step, for each adapter that need to be configured, you will use Worksheets A and B to: • Configure the arrays of physical drives • Configure the logical drives HP NetRAID Assistant Figure 5-3.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration NOTE Since HP NetRAID-1Si is a single-channel adapter, the HP NetRAID Assistant window for this adapter contains only Channel 0 information. Channel 1 and Channel 2 columns do not exist. Steps H and I only describe the features of the HP NetRAID Assistant needed to configure the adapter initially. Refer to the HP NetRAID Series User Guide in Information Assistant for more information about HP NetRAID Assistant.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration • Physical Devices box: The Physical Devices box contains either one channel box (for an HP NetRAID-1Si adapter), or three channel boxes (for an HP NetRAID-3Si) adapter, which show the physical drives on the SCSI channels of the current adapter. The number in parentheses to the right of each physical drive icon is its SCSI ID (Target) on the channel. The state of each physical drive appears to the right of the SCSI ID or array designation.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration To clear the existing configuration: 1. Select the Configuration menu. 2. Choose Clear Configuration. 3. Click OK. Check Rebuild Rate During a rebuild, the content of a complete physical drive is rewritten. Normal operations can go on during a rebuild, but performance may be degraded. The Rebuild Rate controls the rate at which a rebuild is performed. A high Rebuild Rate (over 50%) speeds up the rebuild, but slows system performance.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration Select Wizard NOTE If any physical drives have been moved, added, removed, changed, or changed in state since HP NetRAID Assistant was started, rescan the drives by choosing the Adapter menu and then selecting the Rescan option. To launch the HP NetRAID Assistant Wizard: 1. Select the Configuration menu. 2. Choose the Wizard. The Wizard starting window is displayed, as shown in Figure 5-5, with a choice of Custom and Automatic configuration modes. Figure 5-5.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration ◊ Select Automatic if you want the HP NetRAID Assistant Wizard to define the arrays and logical drives (and set their parameters) for you automatically. When you select Automatic mode, you can toggle the Redundancy check box at the bottom of the window. If the Redundancy box contains an "X," the arrays are automatically configured with redundant logical drives if possible.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration Figure 5-6. HP NetRAID Assistant Wizard Array Definition Window To assign physical drives to the first array: 1. Select all the Ready physical drives that you want to put into the first array. Clicking on a drive either selects or deselects it. 2. Click the Add to Array button. Physical drives show "A:new" to indicate the drive has been added to a new array, but has not been accepted yet. 3.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration 1. Click one or more Ready physical drives to select (or deselect) them. 2. Drag the drives into the existing array. All selected Ready drives will be added to the array. Drives cannot be removed selectively from an existing array, but the entire array can be undone. An array cannot be reclaimed if it has any logical drives defined. To remove an entire array: 1. Select the array. (Make sure that nothing else is selected.) 2. Click the Reclaim button. 3. Click OK.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration Define Logical Drives NOTE Refer to Worksheet B when defining logical drives. After you finish defining arrays and hot spares, and click Next, the HP NetRAID Assistant Wizard Logical Drive Definition window appears. A sample window is shown in Figure 5-7. The window is ready for you to define Logical Drive 0. Figure 5-7.
Chapter 5 ◊ Installation and Configuration The Logical Devices box depicts the arrays on the current adapter, the logical drives on each array, and the global hot spare pool for the adapter. Logical drives are labeled as new and as LD0 through LD7. Click on the + sign in the yellow diamond if the view is collapsed (logical drives are hidden). The HP NetRAID Assistant Wizard is ready for you to set the parameters of the new logical drive. To define a logical drive that does not span arrays: 1.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration To create a logical drive that spans two or more arrays: NOTE The arrays to be spanned must have sequential array numbers and each array must contain the same number of physical drives. HP NetRAID Assistant will attempt to span up to four arrays. Array spanning will stop when: • It has created a logical drive of the size you specify in Step 2 below. • The next sequentially numbered array has a different number of drives.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration Preview Configuration NOTE Refer to Worksheets A and B when checking the configuration. The HP NetRAID Assistant Wizard Configuration Preview window, shown in Figure 5-8, displays the configuration proposed for the physical and logical drives. Figure 5-8. HP NetRAID Assistant Wizard Configuration Preview Window NOTE The RAID level of a logical drive that spans arrays lacks the terminal zero.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration To expand a view that has been collapsed (physical or logical drives, or hot spares are hidden): Click the + sign in the yellow diamond. To display the properties of a logical drive: Double-click the logical drive in the Logical Devices box. To display the properties of a physical drive: Double-click the physical drive in the Physical Devices box. To change a logical drive: 1. Click the Back button to back up to the previous screen. 2.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration A Writing Configuration message appears briefly, indicating that the configuration information is being written to the adapter’s NVRAM. This is not a binary file that can be loaded to restore the configuration. HP NetRAID Assistant asks if you want to initialize your logical drives now. Logical drives must be initialized before they can be used. If you have other adapters to configure, you may wish to do that first and then initialize all the logical drives. 2.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration 1. Choose Print from the Configuration menu. 2. Keep a copy of configuration Worksheets A and B together with the printed copy of your configuration file. They help you understand your configuration, replace a failed adapter, or communicate with HP Customer Support. Configure Any Other Adapters To configure another adapter from the HP NetRAID Assistant window: 1. Click the Adapter pull-down list and select the adapter. 2.
Chapter 5 Installation and Configuration The Initialize screen appears with separate windows for each logical drive. The bar graph for each logical drive shows the progress of the initialization. 4. Click the Abort button if you need to stop the initialization of that logical drive. 5. To rearrange individual windows, click the Arrange menu and make a selection. 6. Repeat the initialization process for other logical drives and adapters as necessary.

Prepare for Online Capacity Expansion The HP NetRAID Online Capacity Expansion feature allows you to add new storage capacity to drives controlled by an integrated HP NetRAID controller without rebooting the server. Online Capacity Expansion has these restrictions: • You can use Online Capacity Expansion with any logical drive of RAID level 0, 3, or 5.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion Refer to one of the following sections in this chapter: • See "Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion Under NetWare 4.2" if you are using Novell NetWare 4.2. • See "Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion Under NetWare 5" if you are using Novell NetWare 5. • See "Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion under Windows NT" if you are using Microsoft Windows NT.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion For example, assume you have one RAID-5 logical drive built from four physical hard disk drives of 4 GB each. The result is 12 GB of actual storage space. If you enable virtual sizing for this logical drive, then the operating system will see a logical drive of 144 GB. Only the first 12 GB are real, 4 GB are used for parity, and the last 128 GB are virtual. Under NetWare 4.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion NOTE SFT-3 and mirroring users: Novell’s operating system, which provides system level fault tolerance by mirroring two systems, is not compatible with the Online Capacity Expansion feature. SFT-3 mirrors disk storage on a partition basis rather than a volume basis. Because of the virtual space created within the partition, SFT-3 cannot successfully mirror the partitions. This limitation also applies to regular mirroring (without SFT-3) of volumes.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion Preparation Steps for NetWare 4.2 This section makes the following assumptions: • You have already configured your HP NetRAID system as discussed in Chapter 5. You should have created only one logical drive per array. • You have initialized your logical drives. NOTE It is important to initialize your logical drives.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion 4. Choose Objects from the Tools Management menu. 5. Choose Logical Drive from the Objects menu. 6. From the Logical Drives menu, choose the logical drive you want to prepare for expansion. 7. From the Logical Drive menu for the drive you want to prepare, choose Properties. 8. Choose Virtual Sizing. 9. On the Virtual Size Feature menu, choose Enable, and confirm your choice. 10. Press Esc twice to return to the Logical Drive menu.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion 6. Press the F10 key to save the partition. The free space becomes a NetWare partition. The Available Disk Options menu is displayed. III. Create the NetWare Volume How you create the NetWare volume depends on where you installed NetWare. • For drives that do not contain the NetWare 4.2 operating system, see "Create Volumes on Drives that do not Contain NetWare 4.2." • If NetWare 4.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion The new volume is now ready for use. Assume, for example, that the volume is called VOL1 and that its physical capacity is 12 GB. Its partition is 144 GB. Leave the remaining virtual storage space (144 GB minus 12 GB) as unused. You can write data up to 12 GB on the drive. Create Volumes on Drives that Contain NetWare 4.2 Sometimes it is desirable to have the network operating system reside on a disk array.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion under NetWare 5 About Capacity Expansion under NetWare 5 Normally, to add capacity you must shut down the server to reconfigure and then restore data, or you must add the new storage space as a new volume. The Online Capacity Expansion feature allows you to expand an existing logical drive without shutting down the server. The Online Capacity Expansion feature cannot be used if a logical drive spans multiple arrays.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion In most installations, the operating system is installed on a SCSI drive connected outside of the HP NetRAID system. However, NetWare 5 can reside on a disk array in the HP NetRAID system to achieve redundancy. Preparation Steps for NetWare 5 This section makes the following assumptions: • You have already configured your HP NetRAID system as discussed in Chapter 5. You should have created only one logical drive per array.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion 1. Restart the host HP NetServer, and watch for the message: Option: Experienced users may press for HP NetRAID Express Tools now. Firmware Initializing 2. When the message is displayed, press . When the system stops scanning, HP NetRAID Express Tools starts and displays the Tools Management menu. 3.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion under Windows NT About Capacity Expansion under Windows NT Normally, adding capacity requires shutting down the server to reconfigure or restore an existing volume or to add the new storage space as a new volume. Using the Online Capacity Expansion feature allows you to expand an existing logical drive without shutting down the server.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion Precautions When using the Online Capacity Expansion feature, it is important that you do not create volumes that exceed the actual physical capacity. If you attempt to do this under Windows NT, the format operation will fail. If you extend an existing partition into virtual space, this will be detected upon rebooting. In either case, be sure to use no more than the actual available physical capacity.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion I. Enable Virtual Sizing NOTE Clearing a previous configuration does not reset the virtual sizing setting for a logical drive. Use the Reset to Factory Defaults option in HP NetRAID Express Tools to disable virtual sizing for all logical drives, or manually change the setting as described below. 1. Restart the host HP NetServer, and watch for the message: Option: Experienced users may press for HP NetRAID Express Tools now.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion 11. If there is more than one HP NetRAID Series adapter installed (including any integrated HP NetRAID controller), press Esc to return to the Objects menu. Enable virtual sizing on the logical drives of all adapters as necessary. 12. To exit, press Esc until you see the Exit box, and choose Yes. II. Start Windows NT and Enter the Disk Administrator Start Windows NT, and enter the Disk Administrator.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion The formatted drive is now ready for use. Assume for this example that the drive is now E: and was partitioned as a primary partition. The remaining virtual storage space (500 GB minus 12 GB) must be left unpartitioned. You can write data up to 12 GB on the drive. Windows NT will not allow you to write beyond 12 GB and lose any data.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion This section describes preparation for online capacity expansion for logical drives operating in Basic Disk Mode under Windows 2000. (Capacity cannot be expanded online for logical drives operating in Dynamic Disk Mode.) Preparation for capacity expansion under Windows 2000 operating in Basic Disk mode is simply to leave virtual sizing disabled (the factory default), or to disable it if it has been enabled.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion The only other requirement to prepare for online capacity expansion of your logical drive is that virtual sizing is disabled. This is the factory default setting. • If Virtual Sizing is Disabled (the factory default setting), no other preparation is necessary. • If Virtual Sizing is Enabled, disable virtual sizing in HP NetRAID Express Tools, as described below.
Chapter 7 Preparing for Online Capacity Expansion 7. From the Logical Drive menu for the drive you want to prepare, choose Properties. 8. Choose Virtual Sizing. 9. On the Virtual Size menu, choose Disable, and confirm your choice. 10. Press Esc twice to return to the Logical Drive menu. If you need to enable virtual sizing on another logical drive, choose the logical drive and repeat steps 6 through 10. 11.

Glossary Disk Array Terms and Technologies Array: An array of disk modules combines the storage space on the disk modules into a single segment of contiguous storage space. The integrated HP NetRAID controller can group disk modules on one or more of its SCSI channels into an array. A hot spare disk module does not participate in an array.
Glossary • Under Windows NT or NetWare 4.2, enable virtual sizing to prepare for online capacity expansion. The controller creates virtual space when the "virtual sizing" option is enabled in the HP NetRAID Express Tools utility. A volume can then be expanded into the virtual space by adding a physical disk through reconstruction. Reconstruction is only permitted on a logical drive that occupies a single array and is the only logical drive in the array.
Glossary modules (OSMs) and hardware device modules (HDMs). I2O increases overall system performance by shifting I/O computations from the system CPUs to dedicated I/O processors. It also makes driver management easier and less expensive. Initialization: The process of writing zeros to the data fields of a logical drive and generating corresponding parity to put the logical drive in a Ready state. Initializing erases previous data, generating parity so that the logical drive will pass a Consistency Check.
Glossary MB: A megabyte; an abbreviation for 1,048,576 (2 to the 20th power) bytes; used for memory or disk capacities. Mirroring: The style of redundancy in which the data on one disk completely duplicates the data on another disk. RAID levels 1 and 10 use mirroring. Parity: Parity is an extra bit added to a byte or word to reveal errors in storage (in RAM or disk) or transmission. It is used to generate a set of redundancy data from two or more parent data sets.
Glossary • RAID 3 has parity redundancy with a dedicated parity disk. It requires three or more physical drives in an array. • RAID 5 has parity redundancy distributed over all the disks in the array. It requires three or more physical drives in an array. RAID levels 10, 30, and 50 result when logical drives span arrays. Table 2-2 in Chapter 2 describes RAID levels for logical drives that span arrays. • RAID 10 results when a RAID 1 logical drive spans arrays.
Glossary SAF-TE: SCSI Access Fault-Tolerant Enclosure; a processor that manages a hot-swap mass storage cage or enclosure. SCSI Channel: The HP NetRAID Series adapters control the disk drives via SCSI-2 buses called "channels" over which the system transfers data in Fast-and-Wide, Ultra SCSI, or Ultra-2 SCSI mode. Each HP NetRAID-3Si and HP NetRAID adapter can control up to three SCSI channels. Each HP NetRAID-1Si and HP NetRAID-1 adapter can control one SCSI channel.
Glossary than a single disk can supply or accept it. While data is being transferred from the first disk, the second disk can locate the next segment. Data striping is used in some modern databases and in certain RAID devices. Virtual Sizing: This setting, when enabled for a logical drive, causes the controller to report the logical drive size larger than the actual physical capacity. The "virtual" space allows for online capacity expansion.
