Installation Procedures - All Deployments Review MSA installation best practices ■ Before installing your MSA (and periodically afterwards), go to the MSA1500 website to confirm your installation plans and read current information about the device: http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs. ■ Periodically check the MSA website for firmware updates and other announcements. HP may place new versions of MSA controller firmware (or other support items) on the Web.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments — To provide redundant storage, configure your Logical Units (LUNs) using fault-tolerant Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) levels and striping methods. Stripe the LUNs vertically across separate storage enclosures on different SCSI buses, including drives from each bus. — To provide redundant data paths, you must include two separate and isolated Fibre Channel fabrics and the associated hardware and software components in the configuration.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments ■ When planning and configuring the LUNs: — In direct-connect environments or any environment using the ACU-CLI, a minimum of one storage LUN on the MSA must be configured and set to the appropriate host mode before connecting the MSA to the server.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments ■ After configuring the LUNs, remember to: — Verify that all HBA connections to the MSA are recognized, including both paths in a multipath configuration. Each time the MSA is power-cycled, all active connections to the MSA are automatically detected and identified by their World Wide Port Name (WWPN). As needed, manually add the additional connections.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments — Manual load balancing—Through the ACU or the CLI, indicate the preferred path (controller ownership) for each LUN. This method is recommended for environments that are load balancing from the host. ■ In dual-controller multipath configurations (both active/active and active/passive), you must install some management software (such as multipathing software, management/monitoring utilities, and array configuration software) on each server with access to the MSA.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments If both controllers are operational and both need servicing, schedule a maintenance window and perform the service as for a single-controller configuration. If both controllers are operational and one needs servicing, do the following to disable and then service the controller: Note: The MSA operates in a non-redundant mode during this procedure. a. Access a supported management utility for the MSA. b. In the utility, disable the controller to be removed.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Plan your storage configuration Proper planning of the system storage and its subsequent performance is critical to a successful deployment of your MSA. Improper planning or implementation can result in wasted storage space, degraded performance, or inability to expand the system to meet growing storage needs.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Striping methods A storage array combines the capacity of several physical hard drives into one virtual unit called an array. These arrays are then presented to the operating system as a single disk device. The physical layout of an array can be one of two configurations: ■ Vertical striping—Offers ultimate fault tolerance and performance, but at the price of storage efficiency.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Table 3: RAID level comparison RAID Level Alternative Name I/O Performance Fault Tolerance Storage Efficiency RAID 0 Data striping Highest None Highest RAID 1 Drive mirroring Data striping plus drive mirroring High * Highest * Low RAID 5 Data striping, with one set of distributed parity data Medium Medium High RAID 6 Data striping, with two sets of distributed parity data Low High Medium RAID 1+0 * Drives in the array need to be striped ac
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Spare drives HP recommends including spare drives in your LUNs. Spares are hard drives that are not active members of any particular LUN, but have been configured to be used in the event that a drive in one of the LUNs should fail. If a spare is present and a physical hard drive fails, the spare automatically replaces the failed drive as a member of the LUN and the process of rebuilding the information onto the spare automatically begins.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Step 2: Prepare your site To ensure continuous, safe, and reliable operation of your equipment, place your system in an approved environment. You must provide adequate physical space, ventilation, and power. Note: Consider using the HP Enterprise Configurator (eCO) to help you plan and configure racks and rack-mountable devices. The eCO is available on the HP website: http://h30099.www3.hp.com/configurator.

Caution: Follow industry-standard practices when handling hard drives.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Step 6: Prepare your servers In an existing SAN, the servers are already set up and configured, but if you are deploying your MSA into a new SAN, install and configure your servers at this time. HP recommends that you: ■ Verify that the servers and operating systems you plan to use are supported for use with the MSA.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Step 7: Install the HBA in your servers After you have confirmed that your servers are operating properly, install the HBA for the MSA in each server that will access the MSA. Because the MSA can be deployed into a variety of operating system environments and configurations (including single-path and multi-path), specific HBAs are required for the different deployments.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Step 8: Prepare your switches In an existing SAN, your switches are already set up and configured, but if you are deploying your MSA into a new SAN, you need to install and configure your Fibre Channel switches at this time. Note: If you are connecting the Fibre Channel I/O module of the MSA directly to the HBA in the server, proceed to the next step. Direct connections are supported on Windows Server 2003 32-bit Enterprise Edition, Windows 2000, and HP-UX.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Step 9: Connect the cables At this point in the process of installing your MSA, you have either installed your new SAN or prepared your existing SAN for the MSA, your server is ready, your switch is ready, and the MSA is ready. Now is the time for: ■ Connecting the SCSI cables ■ Connecting the Fibre Channel cables ■ Connecting the power cords Each of these connection types is discussed in the following paragraphs.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Connecting the SCSI cables To connect the MSA to the storage enclosures, use standard VHDCI SCSI cables included in the shipping carton with each storage enclosure. Recommended SCSI cable connections HP recommends installing additional SCSI I/O modules and connecting storage enclosures in the same sequence as the pre-assigned box numbers, as illustrated in Figure 2.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Supported and unsupported SCSI connections Each MSA SCSI I/O module has two ports — depending on the type of storage enclosure you plan to connect, one or both of the ports may be supported. See Table 5 for examples of supported and unsupported connections and see Figure 3 and Figure 4 for illustrations of sample configurations.

Installation Procedures - All Deployments Connecting the Fibre Channel cables Your MSA can be deployed into a variety of configurations, from relatively simple single-path configurations to more complex multi-path configurations. Because there are two switches, two HBAs, and two servers in multi-path configurations, all of which use Fibre Channel cables, cable connections must follow specific installation requirements.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Connecting Fibre Channel cables in a single-path configuration Figure 5 shows the Fibre Channel cable connections of an MSA1500 being accessed by two servers in a single-path configuration.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Connecting Fibre Channel cables in a multi-path configuration Figure 6 shows the Fibre Channel cable connections of an MSA1500 being accessed by two servers, but in a multi-path configuration.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments Connecting the power cords To protect your system from power-failure-related down time, each MSA ships standard with a redundant power supply. Depending how you connect the power supplies to your power source, you can eliminate down time caused by power-related failures. When connecting the power cords, use the power cords shipped with the MSA.
Installation Procedures - All Deployments WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: ■ Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. ■ Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. ■ To remove power to the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power supply. ■ Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed against it.

As discussed in Chapter 1: “Installation Procedures All Deployments” on page 15, plans should include decisions about total system capacity, fault-tolerance levels (availability), and performance.
Configuration Procedures - OpenVMS Environments Assigning ID Numbers to the Controllers and LUNs When configuring your MSA, you must assign a unique ID number to each MSA controller and to each MSA storage LUN. See the HP StorageWorks 1000/1500 Command Line Interface reference guide for specific instructions.
Configuration Procedures Other Environments 6 Deploying the MSA in a NetWare, Tru64 UNIX, SCO UNIX, or VMware operating system environment involves: 1. Completing all Prerequisites, page 93 2. Updating MSA controller firmware (if necessary), page 97 3. Configuring the storage, page 98 Each of these procedures is discussed in the following paragraphs. Note: HP recommends installing your MSA in the sequence of steps listed here and in chapter 1 of this guide.
Configuration Procedures - Other Environments Operating-system-specific notes Note: SCO UNIX, VMWare, OpenVMS, and Tru64 UNIX do not use the provided MSA Support Software CD. These operating systems use the MSA-CLI to configure the storage and obtain the HBA drivers and multipathing tools from a different source, such as through operating system updates or the HP website. NetWare environments ■ Single-controller configurations are supported for use with active/passive firmware only.
Configuration Procedures - Other Environments d. For each HBA, verify that the following options are specified: load ql2x00.ham slot=x/luns/allpaths/portnames, where x represents the slot number. Note: The Native MPIO solution can co-exist with HP Secure Path for NetWare. ■ If the MSA is upgraded to 6.86or later active/active firmware, and, if you want to remove the Secure Path for NetWare driver, do the following: a. Follow the removal instructions provided in the Secure Path user documents. b.
Configuration Procedures - Other Environments SCO UNIX environments ■ Dual-controller active/passive configurations are not supported. Dual-controller configurations must run active/active firmware. ■ Detailed information about deploying an MSA in a SCO UNIX environment is provided in a separate document on the MSA1500 Technical Documents web page. Included in the SCO-specific document are the procedures for obtaining and installing the HBA drivers for each SCO UNIX operating system.
