HP StorageWorks 1510i Modular Smart Array installation and user guide (383070-002, July 2008)

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 Ins

ight 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. HP-SIM

provides device management capabilities that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and

third-party devices. HP-SIM reports hardware fault conditions (both failure and pre-failure) and collects

data for reporting and graphing. HP-SIM also provides base-level management of HP clients, printers,

and selecte

dstorage.

HP recommen

ds using HP-SIM to monitor the performance of your Windows, Linux, and NetWare systems.

IMPORTANT:

You must install and use HP-SIM to beneﬁt from the Pre-Failure Warranty for processors, SAS, SCSI,

and SATA hard drives, and memory modules.

HP-SIM can monitor the following MSA controller parameters:

• CPU usage

• Total number of read and write commands processed

• Averagetimetoprocessareadorwritecommand

HP-SIM can monitor the following LUN parameters:

• Total I/O count

• Number of read and write requests

• Number of sectors read or written

Packet InterNet Groper (PING) overview

Use the PING utility to check network connections. PING bounces a signal off the remote site and returns

the time it took to complete the round trip each time. If no response is returned, the site is either down

or unreachable. If only partial signals are returned, there might be an issue with the connection that

will slow down performance.

MSA array controller LCD panel

Each array controller contains an integrated Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). This module is used for

displaying informational and error messages, showing the status of the system modules, prompting for

user input when required, and accessing the management menu.

Traditional Power-On Self-Test (POST) messages issued by the PCI-based controllers have been combined

with runtime event notiﬁcation messages to create a new set of controller display messages. The display

module is capable of holding up to 100 messages. After this maximum size is reached, older messages

are removed to make room for newer ones. When a new message is sent to the LCD, the display shows

that message and ignores any previous scrolling position. This new message is now the most recent

message available.
