• Depending on the number of physical hard drives included in a storage unit, the Storage Management Utility may suggest RAID 6 (ADG) as the default RAID level, which offers a high level of fault tolerance and usable disk capacity, but at a significant cost to I/O performance. For comparable fault tolerance but higher performance, consider using RAID 1+0 when fault tolerance is desired and performance is more important than usable capacity.
Providing clearance space and ventilation Provide adequate clearance around the front and back of the racks. Provide at least 25 inches (63.5 cm) in the front of the rack to allow the doors to open fully and provide at least 30 inches (76.2 cm) in the rear of the rack to allow for servicing and airflow. If there are unused spaces in your rack, attach blanking panels across those empty spaces to force the airflow through the components instead of through the open spaces.

Preparing the servers When preparing servers for the MSA1510i, be sure to do the following tasks. For detailed installation and configuration information, see the documentation provided with the server or software tools. Be sure to record information about the servers that will connect to the MSA1510i. (“Server information” on page 146) • Verify that the servers, Ethernet NICs, Ethernet switches, operating system version, and service packs are supported for use with the MSA1510i.
Be sure to record information about the switches that will connect to the MSA1510i. (“Basic MSA1510i information” on page 142) For installation instructions, see the document shipped with each kit. CAUTION: Remove blanking panels only for the options being installed. For proper airflow and cooling, a blanking panel or component must be installed in the MSA chassis.
CAUTION: Install hard drives in the enclosures only after mounting the enclosures in the rack. • An enclosure populated with hard drives is to too heavy to lift safely. • Movement of an enclosure during installation might damage the internal storage media of installed hard drives.
1. If desired, use the instructions on the provided rack template to mark the holes on the front and rear rack uprights that will be used by the rails. 2. If the holes in the rack uprights are round instead of square, remove the standard pins from the rails and replace them with the provided smaller round-hole pins. CAUTION: Pins in the rails are load-bearing. Do not remove the standard pins except to replace them with the smaller pins for round-hole racks. 3.
4. From the front of the rack, align the front end of the rail with the marked holes on the rack. Disengage the scissor-pin locking latch by pulling the bottom of the latch towards the front of the rack and, at the same time, insert the end of the rail into the inside-front of the rack, making sure that the scissor-pin clicks into place. Release the locking latch and verify that it engages the scissor-pin. 5.
6. If necessary, loosen the locking nut on the device retaining bracket and slide the bracket to the farthest position near the rear of the rack. 7. Repeat through to install the other rail. 8. Remove the bezel from the front of the MSA1510i by grasping the bezel by its left and right outside edges, and then, with even pressure, pulling toward you until the retaining clips disengage. 9. From the front of the rack, place the MSA1510i on the rails and slide it into the rack.
10. Slide the MSA1510i into the rack until the front edge is flush with the front of the rack. Then, secure the MSA1510i to the front of the rack by tightening the thumbscrews on the front of the MSA1510i. 11. From the rear of the rack, secure the rear of the MSA by sliding the retaining bracket toward the MSA1510i, until the tab engages the slot in the MSA chassis. Then, tighten the thumbscrew on the bracket. 12.
Installing hard drives in the enclosures After the storage enclosures are secured in the rack, install hard drives into the drive bays. For installation instructions, see the documents shipped with the hard drive or enclosure.
Connecting cables Connecting cables includes: • • • • Cabling best practices Connecting SCSI cables Connecting Ethernet cables Connecting power cords Cabling best practices • Use the shortest possible cable between devices. Shorter cables are easier to manage and route along the back of the rack. In addition, shorter cables reduce the possibility of signal degradation that can occur over longer distances.

Be sure to record the controller firmware version and management port IP address. (Basic MSA1510i information) IMPORTANT: Depending on the IP address automatically assigned to the MSA1510i, the MSA and its storage may be inaccessible to the network. If needed, change the IP address through the MSA controller LCD panel. For instructions, see “Changing the management port IP address through the MSA1510i controller display panel” on page 102.
Installation
4 Configuration Configuration includes: • MSA1510i supported management tools • Configuration best practices • Configuration overview • Configuring the Microsoft iSCSI initiator • Configuring the VMware iSCSI software initiator Supported management tools The following is a partial list of the tools that are supported for use with the MSA: • Storage Management Utility (SMU) overview • MSA Command Line Interface (MSA-CLI) overivew • HP Systems Insight Manager (HP-SIM) overview • Packet InterNet Groper (PING)
Sample tasks include: configuring iSCSI elements, setting up the management interface, configuring the logical units (LUNs), limiting access to the storage, viewing controller and storage setup, viewing status information, and running diagnostic reports. HP Systems Insight Manager (HP-SIM) overview HP Systems Insight Manager (HP-SIM) is a web-based application that allows system administrators to accomplish normal administrative tasks from any remote location, using a web browser.
Configuration best practices • Maintain detailed records of your iSCSI storage network, including information about the initiators, targets (including which LUNs are mapped to the targets), IP address assignments, and portals and portal groups. Be sure to note which initiators are accessing which targets through which portal groups using which IP addresses and protected by which Access Control List (ACL) and virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN).
Clean-up configuration tasks After initially configuring the host and MSA, to complete the configuration, be sure to: • • • • • • Check the SMU to ensure that all initiators have been added. Verify in the initiator software that the 1510i targets are present. Logon to the available targets. Ensure that the connection is automatically restored when the system boots. Set up security measures (ACLs, VLANS, and CHAP).
2. Enable discovery of the targets you want the initiator to access. NOTE: Multipath environments must enter access information for each path to the target. a. Select the Discovery tab. b. In the Target Portals section of the window, click Add.
c. Enter the IP address and TCP portal of the target on the primary controller, and then click OK. The display returns to the Discovery tab. (Example: 100.10.1.20:3260) d. In multipathing environments only, repeat step c to add the IP address and TCP portal of the target on the secondary controller. NOTE: As soon as one portal for the MSA is added to the Discovery tab, all portals for the MSA are automatically discovered by the initiator and will be displayed, whether access to them is permitted or not.
3. Configure target logon settings. a. On the Targets tab, select the first listing of the target, and then click Log On... b. Select the following options: • Automatically restore this connection when the system boots (optional). Each time this feature is selected, a login entry will be added to the Persistent Targets tab. Be careful not to select more than once per IP address and target. • Enable multi-path (Multipathing environments only) c. Click Advanced.
d. Expand the drop-down boxes and enter the following settings: • Local adapter: Microsoft iSCSI Initiator • Source IP: Enter the IP address of the NIC that has access to the target portal that you want to connect to (and will enter in the next step). • Target Portal: Select the destination target portal you want to connect to. (Example: 100.10.1.20:3260) IMPORTANT: Several Target Portal IP addresses may be presented. Be sure that the Source IP address and the corresponding Target Portal have a viable path.
f. View the display. It should now show a Status of Connected for that path to the target. NOTE: If the status is not Connected, do the following to eliminate one of the following common mistakes: • Make the second connection. • Verify that the Source IP address and the Target Portal are correct. 4. In multipathing environments only, repeat step 3 for the IP address and portal associated with the secondary controller. (Example: 100.30.1.
NOTE: In multipathing environments only, two sessions should be established: • one for the target portal associated with MSA controller A • one for the target portal associated with MSA controller B b. Select one of the listed sessions and then click Connections. c. View the information in the window and do the following: • Verify the target portal address. • Validate the IP address against the expected connection. d.
6. In multipathing environments only, test the redundancy by forcing a controller failover. (One method of forcing a failover is to disable the switch port associated with the active MSA controller path.) Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause / solution Microsoft iSCSI initiator cannot add a discovery portal The initiator name in the Microsoft iSCSI initiator software does not match the name entered for the initiator in the MSA1510i SMU or CLI.
Configuring the VMware iSCSI software initiator NOTE: Only iSCSI software initiators are supported by MSA1510i. This section describes how to configure the VMware iSCSI initiator to connect to a dual-controller MSA1510i in a multipathing environment. (For single-controller configurations, omit all steps shown for multipath or dual-controller configurations.) The initiator is native to ESX.
ESX Server supports the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) that your iSCSI initiators can use for authentication purposes. After your initiator establishes the initial connection with the target, CHAP verifies the identity of the initiator and checks a CHAP secret that your initiator and the target share. This can be repeated periodically during the iSCSI session. When configuring iSCSI initiators for your ESX Server system, make sure that CHAP is enabled.
3. To add a new iSCSI target that your ESX Server host can use for a SendTargets session, click Add. The Add Send Targets Server dialog box displays. 4. Enter the Send Targets server IP address, and click OK. 5. To change or delete a Send Targets server, select the server and click Edit or Remove. Setting up CHAP parameters for software initiators When configuring your iSCSI software initiator, make sure that CHAP parameters are enabled for the initiator. If they are not enabled, set them up.
3. To make any changes to the existing CHAP parameters, click Configure. The CHAP Authentication dialog box opens. 4. To keep CHAP enabled, make sure Use the following CHAP credentials is selected. 5. To use a new CHAP name, uncheck the Use initiator name check box, and enter the name of your choice. 6. If needed, specify the CHAP secret. All new targets will use the CHAP secret to authenticate the initiator. Any established sessions are not affected. 7. Click OK to save changes. 8. Perform a rescan.
NOTE: If you disable CHAP, all sessions that require CHAP authentication will end immediately. Performing a Rescan If a new LUN becomes accessible through the adapter, then ESX Server registers this new virtual device for use by virtual machines. If an existing LUN is no longer used and appears to be gone, then it is removed from use by virtual machines.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause / solution iSCSI initiator cannot add a discovery portal The initiator name in the iSCSI initiator software does not match the name entered for the initiator in the MSA1510i SMU or CLI. iSCSI initiator cannot connect to target portal iSCSI initiator connects to target portal but does not report any targets • • • • • • • Storage port with target portal is not connected to the network. Wrong IP address or TCP port number.

Press and release the Power On/Standby button on the front of the chassis to start the MSA array.
Updating MSA firmware Firmware is a software program that resides in Read-Only Memory (ROM) on the device and is responsible for the behavior of the device. As part of a routine system maintenance program, it is important to periodically check the firmware versions installed throughout the system, including components on the server (operating system, drivers, software tools) and other network devices, including the MSA.
• MSA release notes and readme files 3. Identify items that need updating.
Updating MSA controller firmware CAUTION: The following methods are available for updating MSA array or storage enclosure firmware; select the method that best matches your environment: • Updating MSA firmware using the SMU • Updating MSA firmware using the MSA-CLI (most environments) Prerequisites Before updating system firmware, make note of the following: • When determining which MSA controller firmware version to use, review the requirements and information in the Compatibility Matrix(es), release note
IMPORTANT: If you encounter any problems during the firmware update process, stop and contact HP technical support. See for support contact information. Updating MSA firmware using the SMU NOTE: For complete information about accessing and using the SMU, see the HP Storage Management Utility user guide. 1.
7. From within the SMU, select Update > Controller > Flash Firmware. 8. Under the Flash Firmware banner, click Browse and navigate to the location of the previously-obtained firmware file, and then click OK. 9. Wait for a completion message to display.
11. View the messages displayed on the array controller LCD panel during startup to confirm that the firmware was installed successfully and that the array controller restarts successfully. NOTE: In dual-controller configurations, firmware on the two controllers is compared each time the MSA chassis is restarted. If the versions are mismatched, the system prompts to clone the firmware on the controller with the latest version over to the controller with the earlier version firmware.

Recognizing and recovering from hard drive failures and faulted LUNs The purpose of fault-tolerant array configurations is to protect against data loss due to hard drive failure. Each RAID configuration has inherent limitations on the number of hard drive failures that it can tolerate. If the fault-tolerance level of a particular LUN or array configuration is exceeded, the array will be locked from any further I/O.
Compromised fault tolerance Each RAID configuration has inherent limitations on the number of physical hard drive failures that it can tolerate. If more hard drives fail than the fault-tolerance method allows, fault tolerance is compromised. When the MSA determines that the fault tolerance of a LUN is compromised, the LUN is taken offline and subsequent I/O requests are rejected. This is designed to protect the integrity of the LUN, but does require manual intervention to recover or re-enable the LUN.
6. If using the MSA LCD panel: a. If one of the following messages are displayed on the MSA array controller LCD front panel, an issue was found with one or more configured LUNs that may result in data loss, so all of the hard drives in the LUNs have been disabled. Press the right push button to re-enable the LUNs. 02 ENABLE VOLUME ? '<'=NO, '>'=YES 04 ENABLE VOLUMES ? '<'=NO, '>'=YES b. Make copies of important data, if possible. c.
• The priority that the rebuild is given over normal I/O operations (you can change the priority setting through the Array Configuration Utility (ACU), Storage Management Utility (SMU), or MSA Command Line Interface (MSA-CLI).
CAUTION: When replacing a hot pluggable hard drive, it is important that you follow the guidelines in this section. Failure to do so could result in data loss and could void your warranty.
4. Pull the hard drive out of the storage enclosure bay (3). Installing the hard drive NOTE: Illustrations in this section demonstrate installing a hard drive in an MSA20 storage enclosure. The procedure for installing a hard drive in an MSA30 or other storage enclosure is similar. 1. Press the hard drive ejector button (1) and pull the release lever to the full open position (2).
2. Slide the replacement hard drive into the same bay from which the old hard drive was just removed, making sure that the lever is in the full open position to ensure a correct latch. Then, push the hard drive into the bay as far as it will go, pressing firmly on the hard drive to make sure that it is seated properly (1). 3. Close the ejector lever against the front of the hard drive (2). 4. Verify that the hard drive is firmly engaged and that the ejector lever is latched.
Adding or migrating hard drives, enclosures, and arrays This section describes the following common migration scenarios: • Adding new hard drive storage enclosures • Migrating existing storage enclosures • Migrating the hard drives that make up an array NOTE: For the most up-to-date information on supported storage enclosures, see the MSA website. Adding new hard drive storage enclosures NOTE: New storage enclosures with unconfigured hard drives are hot pluggable.
1. Schedule a maintenance window to allow the storage subsystem to be turned off. 2. Ensure that a known, good backup is available. 3. From your management utility, such as the SMU, ACU, or MSA-CLI, generate a record of your current configuration. 4. If possible, power off all servers connected to the MSA array. Or, close all dependent applications. In MSA1510i configurations, be sure to use the initiator software to log off all MSA1510i targets. 5.
1. Power Off the MSA storage system as detailed in Powering off the MSA1510i. 2. Move the hard drives. 3. Power on the MSA storage system as detailed in Powering on the MSA. 4. The following message should be displayed on the LCD front panel of the controller 86 DRIVE POSITION CHANGE DETECTED. IMPORTANT: If the following LCD message is displayed: 121 NO VOLUMES DETECTED, turn off the system immediately to avoid data loss, and return the hard drives to their original locations. 5.
5. After all changes are entered, exit the management menu. Press v until Exit is displayed and blinking, and then press >. The LCD panel returns to the display mode. 6. Verify that the IP address was entered correctly by pressing ^ or v until the Port #MA0 IP message is displayed. 7.
