About this guide
1 Installing and configuring the server Setup overview Your HP ProLiant storage server comes pre-installed with the Windows® Storage Server™ 2003 R2 operating system. Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 extends the Windows Storage Server 2003 operating system, providing a more efficient way to manage and control access to local and remote resources.
Planning a network configuration You use the Rapid Startup Wizard to configure your storage server. This wizard is displayed automatically when you first start your system.
The HP ProLiant storage server's serial number is located in three places: • Top of the storage server • Back of the storage server • Inside the storage server shipping box Checking kit contents Remove the contents, making sure you have all the components listed below. If components are missing, contact HP technical support.
Logical Disk 1 Operating System Volume RAID 5 Logical Disk 2 DON’T ERASE Volume RAID 5 Logical Disk 3 Data Volume RAID 5 Physical Drive 0 Physical Drive 1 Physical Drive 2 Physical Drive 3 5083 Figure 1 ML310 hardware RAID NOTE: In the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU), logical drives are labeled 1 and 2. In Microsoft Disk Manager, logical drives are displayed as 0 and 1. For HP Smart Array configuration information, see http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/arraycontrollers/.
Direct attach To connect directly to the storage server without using the network. Remote browser To establish a browser-based connection to the HP ProLiant Storage Server Management console from a remote client running Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later). Remote desktop To establish a connection from a remote client without using a browser. This method requires the client to have Windows remote desktop capability.
To connect the server to a network using the remote browser method, you must first ensure that the client is configured to download signed ActiveX controls. To enable ActiveX controls 1. On the remote client machine, open the Internet Explorer web browser and select Tools > Internet Options > Security. Figure 2 Internet options screen 2. On the Security screen, select Internet or Local intranet web content zone, then click Custom Level. 3. Scroll down to locate the ActiveX Controls and plug-ins settings.
NOTE: If you are able to determine the IP address from your DHCP server, you can substitute the IP address for the serial number and hyphen (-). For example: 192.100.0.1:3202. 2. Click OK on the Security Alert prompt. 3. Log in to the HP ProLiant Storage Server Management console with the default user name administrator and the password hpinvent. NOTE: You can change the administrator name and password when you configure the server using the "Rapid Startup Wizard" on page 26. 4.
Figure 3 HP Storage Server Management console Using the Remote desktop method Remote Desktop provides the ability for you to log onto and remotely administer your server, giving you a method of managing it from any client. Installed for remote administration, Remote Desktop allows only two concurrent sessions. Leaving a session running takes up one license and can affect other users. If two sessions are running, additional users will be denied access.
Logging off and disconnecting Remote Desktop provides two options when closing a client: you can either disconnect or log off the system. Disconnecting leaves the session running on the server. You can reconnect to the server and resume the session. If you are performing a task on the server, you can start the task and disconnect from the session. Later, you can log back on the server, re-enter the session, and either resume the task or check results.
The Integrated Lights-Out port on the storage server can be configured through the Rapid Startup Wizard or through the iLO 2 ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). SNMP is enabled and the Insight Management Agents are preinstalled. The HP iLO 2 management processor provides multiple ways to configure, update, operate, and manage servers remotely. The HP ProLiant Storage Server comes preconfigured with iLO 2 default factory settings, including a default user account and password.
Configuring the server on the network Before you begin When first powering on the storage server you need to have some configuration data readily available to complete the Rapid Startup Wizard. Complete the Server configuration worksheet and use the data collected to initialize the storage server. NOTE: Ensure you are logged into the HP ProLiant Storage Server as a local or domain administrator.
Configuration Worksheet Local area connection 2 Any additional local area connections can be renamed to prevent confusion. IP address Same as above. Subnet mask Same as above. Default gateway Same as above. iLO 2 settings Change the host name, IP settings, and administrator settings. DNS server A Domain Name System (DNS) server name is required to provide for domain name to IP address resolution.

2 Storage management overview This chapter provides an overview of some of the components that make up the storage structure of the HP ProLiant Storage Server. Storage management elements Storage is divided into four major divisions: • • • • Physical storage elements Logical storage elements File system elements File sharing elements Each of these elements is composed of the previous level's elements.
Physical Disks Single Server Cluster Implementation RAID Arrays Storage Elements Logical Drives Selective Storage Presentaion Visible Disks Logical Storage Elements Partitioning NTFS Volumes Q: File System Elements Shadow Copy Elements File Folders Shadow Copies (Snapshots) \Engineering \Marketing \Users \Sales \Engineering \Marketing from 02/10/03 09:30 \snapshot.0 R: from 02/10/03 09:30 \snapshot.0 from 02/10/03 11:30 \snapshot.1 R: from 02/10/03 11:30 \snapshot.
Arrays See Figure 5. With an array controller installed in the system, the capacity of several physical drives (P1–P3) can be logically combined into one or more logical units (L1) called arrays. When this is done, the read/write heads of all the constituent physical drives are active simultaneously, dramatically reducing the overall time required for data transfer. NOTE: Depending on the storage server model, array configuration may not be possible or necessary.
To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, storage servers should be configured with fault tolerance. HP recommends adhering to RAID 5 configurations. The table below summarizes the important features of the different kinds of RAID supported by the Smart Array controllers. The decision chart in the following table can help determine which option is best for different situations.
A1 A2 L3 L1 L4 L2 L5 gl0045 Figure 7 Two arrays (A1, A2) and five logical drives (L1 through L5) spread over five physical drives NOTE: This type of configuration may not apply to all storage servers and serves only as an example. Through the use of basic disks, primary partitions or extended partitions can be created. Partitions can only encompass one LUN. Through the use of dynamic disks, volumes can be created that span multiple LUNs.
NOTE: Dynamic disks cannot be used for clustering configurations because Microsoft Cluster only supports basic disks. File system elements File system elements are composed of the folders and subfolders that are created under each logical storage element (partitions, logical disks, and volumes). Folders are used to further subdivide the available file system, providing another level of granularity for management of the information space.
CAUTION: AppleTalk shares should not be created on clustered resources as this is not supported by Microsoft Clustering, and data loss may occur. Network names and IP address resources for the clustered file share resource can also be established for access across a network to a variety of clients. Permissions can then be granted to those shares based on users or groups of users in each of the file sharing protocols.
Storage management overview
3 File server management This chapter begins by identifying new or improved file services in Windows Storage Server 2003 R2. The remainder of the chapter describes the many tasks and utilities that play a role in file server management. New or improved file services features in Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 Storage Manager for SANs The Storage Manager for SANs (also called Simple SAN) snap-in enables you to create and manage the LUNs that are used to allocate space on storage arrays.
Manager, administrators can place quotas on volumes, actively screen files and folders, and generate comprehensive storage reports. By using Storage Resource Manager, you can perform the following tasks: • Create quotas to limit the space allowed for a volume or folder and to generate notifications when the quota limits are approached and exceeded. • Create file screens to screen the files that users can save on volumes and in folders and to send notifications when users attempt to save blocked files.
Configuring additional storage involves creating arrays, logical disks, and volumes. Table 6 shows the general task areas to be performed as well as the utilities needed to configure storage for an HP Smart Array-based storage server.
NOTE: The ACU is used to configure and manage array-based storage. Software RAID-based storage servers use Microsoft Disk Manager to manage storage. You need administrator or root privileges to run the ACU. Array Configuration Utility The HP ACU supports the Smart Array controllers and SCSI hard drives installed on the storage server. To open the ACU from the storage server desktop: NOTE: If this is the first time that the ACU is being run, you will be prompted to select the Execution Mode for ACU.
changes take effect immediately. A complete online help facility is provided with the Disk Management utility for assistance in using the product. NOTE: • When the Disk Management utility is accessed through a Remote Desktop connection this connection can only be used to manage disks and volumes on the server. Using the Remote Desktop connection for other operations during an open session closes the session.
If defragmenting volumes on which shadow copies are enabled, use a cluster (or allocation unit) size of 16 KB or larger during the format. Otherwise defragmentation registers as a change by the Shadow Copy process. This increase in the number of changes forces Shadow Copy to delete snapshots as the limit for the cache file is reached. CAUTION: Allocation unit size cannot be altered without reformatting the drive. Data on a reformatted drive cannot be recovered.
• Add new LUNs to the system. The additional space is then extended through a variety of means, depending on which type of disk structure is in use. NOTE: This section addresses only single storage server node configurations. If your server has Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition, see the Cluster Administration chapter for expanding and extending storage in a cluster environment. Expanding storage Expansion is the process of adding physical disks to an array that has already been configured.
Expanding storage for EVA arrays using Command View EVA Presenting a virtual disk offers its storage to a host. To make a virtual disk available to a host, you must present it. You can present a virtual disk to a host during or after virtual disk creation. The virtual disk must be completely created before the host presentation can occur. If you choose host presentation during virtual disk creation, the management agent cannot complete any other task until that virtual disk is created and presented.
of snapshots is the ability to instantly recover data from shadow copies, reducing the number of times needed to restore data from tape.
NOTE: Regardless of the volume space that is allocated for shadow copies, there is a maximum of 64 shadow copies for any volume. When the 65th shadow copy is taken, the oldest shadow copy is purged. The minimum amount of storage space that can be specified is 350 megabytes (MB). The default storage size is 10 percent of the source volume (the volume being copied).
snapshot. Otherwise, the number of changes caused by the defragmentation process can cause shadow copies to be deleted faster than expected. Note, however, that NTFS compression is supported only if the cluster size is 4 KB or smaller. NOTE: To check the cluster size of a volume, use the fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo command. To change the cluster size on a volume that contains data, back up the data on the volume, reformat it using the new cluster size, and then restore the data.
Figure 8 System administrator view of Shadow Copies for Shared Folders The shadow copy cache file The default shadow copy settings allocate 10 percent of the source volume being copied (with a minimum of 350 MB), and store the shadow copies on the same volume as the original volume. (See Figure 9). The cache file is located in a hidden protected directory titled “System Volume Information” off of the root of each volume for which shadow copy is enabled.
F: G: H: L: cache file cache file cache file Figure 10 Shadow copies stored on a separate volume The main advantage to storing shadow copies on a separate volume is ease of management and performance. Shadow copies on a source volume must be continually monitored and can consume space designated for file sharing. Setting the limit too high takes up valuable storage space. Setting the limit too low can cause shadow copies to be purged too soon, or not created at all.
Viewing a list of shadow copies To view a list of shadow copies on a volume: 1. Access Disk Management. 2. Select the volume or logical drive, then right-click on it. 3. Select Properties. 4. Select Shadow Copies tab. All shadow copies are listed, sorted by the date and time they were created. NOTE: It is also possible to create new shadow copies or delete shadow copies from this page. Set schedules Shadow copy schedules control how frequently shadow copies of a volume are made.
1. Access Disk Management. 2. Select the volume or logical drive, then right-click on it. 3. Select Properties. 4. Select the Shadow Copies tab. 5. Select the volume that you want to redirect shadow copies from and ensure that shadow copies are disabled on that volume; if enabled, click Disable. 6. Click Settings. 7. In the Located on this volume field, select an available alternate volume from the list. NOTE: To change the default shadow copy schedule settings, click Schedule. 8. Click OK. 9.
Figure 11 Accessing shadow copies from My Computer Shadow Copies for Shared Folders Shadow copies are accessed over the network by supported clients and protocols. There are two sets of supported protocols, SMB and NFS. All other protocols are not supported; this would include HTTP, FTP, AppleTalk, and NetWare Shares. For SMB support, a client-side application denoted as Shadow Copies for Shared Folders is required.
Shadow Copies for Shared Folders preserves the permissions set in the access control list (ACL) of the original folders and files. Consequently, users can only access shadow copies for shares to which they have access. In other words, if a user does not have access to a share, he also does not have access to the share's shadow copies. The Shadow Copies for Shared Folders client pack installs a Previous Versions tab in the Properties window of files and folders on network shares.
The following example shows an NFS share named “NFSShare” with three shadow copies, taken on April 27, 28, and 29 of 2003 at 4 a.m. NFSShare .@GMT-2003.04.27-04:00:00 .@GMT-2003.04.28-04:00:00 .@GMT-2003.04.29-04:00:00 Access to NFS shadow copy pseudo-subdirectories is governed by normal access-control mechanisms using the permissions stored in the file system. Users can access only those shadow copies to which they have read access at the time the shadow copy is taken.
Figure 13 Recovering a deleted file or folder Recovering an overwritten or corrupted file Recovering an overwritten or corrupted file is easier than recovering a deleted file because the file itself can be right-clicked instead of the folder. To recover an overwritten or corrupted file: 1. Right-click the overwritten or corrupted file, and then click Properties. 2. Click Previous Versions. 3. To view the old version, click View. To copy the old version to another location, click Copy...
will not work to back up the previous versions of the file system. To answer this particular issue, shadow copies are available for back up in two situations. If the backup software in question supports the use of shadow copies and can communicate with underlying block device, it is supported, and the previous version of the file system will be listed in the backup application as a complete file system snapshot.
NOTE: Select servers can be deployed in a clustered or non-clustered configuration. This section discusses share setup for a non-clustered deployment. Folder management Volumes and folders on any system are used to organize data. Regardless of system size, systematic structuring and naming conventions of volumes and folders eases the administrative burden.
Figure 14 Properties dialog box, Security tab Several options are available on the Security tab: • To add users and groups to the permissions list, click Add. Follow the dialog box instructions. • To remove users and groups from the permissions list, highlight the desired user or group, and then click Remove. • The center section of the Security tab lists permission levels. When new users or groups are added to the permissions list, select the appropriate boxes to configure the common file-access levels. 3.
Figure 15 Advanced Security settings dialog box, Permissions tab Other functionality available in the Advanced Security Settings dialog box is illustrated in Figure 15 and includes: • Add a new user or group—Click Add, and then follow the dialog box instructions. • Remove a user or group— Click Remove. • Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects—This allows all child folders and files to inherit the current folder permissions by default.
Figure 16 User or group Permission Entry dialog box Another area of the Advanced Security Settings is the Auditing tab. Auditing allows you to set rules for the auditing of access, or attempted access, to files or folders. Users or groups can be added, deleted, viewed, or modified through the Advanced Security Settings Auditing tab.
Figure 17 Advanced Security Settings dialog box, Auditing tab 5. Click Add to display the Select User or Group dialog box. Figure 18 Select User or Group dialog box NOTE: Click Advanced to search for users or groups. 6. Select the user or group. 7. Click OK. The Auditing Entry dialog box is displayed.
Figure 19 Auditing Entry dialog box for folder name NTFS Test 8. Select the desired Successful and Failed audits for the user or group. 9. Click OK. NOTE: Auditing must be enabled to configure this information. Use the local Computer Policy Editor to configure the audit policy on the storage server. The Owner tab allows taking ownership of files. Typically, administrators use this area to take ownership of files when the file ACL is incomplete or corrupt.
Figure 20 Advanced Security Settings dialog box, Owner tab The current owner of the file or folder is listed at the top of the screen. To take ownership: 1. Click the appropriate user or group in the Change owner to list. 2. If it is also necessary to take ownership of subfolders and files, enable the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects box. 3. Click OK. Share management There are several ways to set up and manage shares.
creating too many shares also has its drawbacks. For example, if it is sufficient to create a single share for user home directories, create a “homes” share rather than creating separate shares for each user. By keeping the number of shares and other resources low, the performance of the storage server is optimized. For example, instead of sharing out each individual user's home directory as its own share, share out the top-level directory and let the users map personal drives to their own subdirectory.
• Modifying share properties • Publishing in DFS NOTE: These functions can operate in a cluster on select servers, but should only be used for non-cluster-aware shares. Use Cluster Administrator to manage shares for a cluster. The page will display cluster share resources. CAUTION: Before deleting a share, warn all users to exit that share and confirm that no one is using that share.
• Monitor attempts to save unauthorized files for all users or a selected group of users. • Generate storage reports instantly.

AppleTalk and file services for Macintosh The AppleTalk network integration allows the storage server to share files and printers between your server and any Apple Macintosh clients that are connected to your network. After installing Microsoft Windows Services for Macintosh, the administrator can use the AppleTalk protocol to configure the storage server to act as an AppleTalk server. The AppleTalk protocol is the communications protocol used by clients running a Macintosh operating system.
Print services for Macintosh Macintosh clients can send print jobs to a print server or File Print Appliance (FPA) when Print Server for Macintosh is installed on the server. To the Macintosh-based client, the print server or FPA appears to be an AppleTalk printer on the network, and no reconfiguration of the client is necessary.
