The MSA1000 and Virtual Array Support are mutually exclusive.
Product Overview NAS b3000 v2 as a Single Device In the single NAS device configuration, the NAS b3000 v2 is connected to the storage enclosure via a single fiber channel host bus adapter (HBA) and an external SAN switch or an embedded switch on the storage device. An MSA1000 is used in the illustration of Figure 1 as an example. If two HBAs are used on the NAS b3000 v2, each HBA should be connected to a separate switch (embedded or external) that has access to the same controller pairs.
Product Overview The NAS b3000 v2 is configured at the factory with default system and storage parameter settings via the pre-loaded customized NAS operating system. However, storage included with the second model is not pre-configured, allowing the NAS administrator to tailor the organization and configuration of the storage to specific environmental needs. With MSA1000-based storage, the NAS administrator uses the included HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU) to manage the hardware storage.

Product Overview Connecting NAS b3000 v2 to the Network The NAS b3000 v2 can be connected to the network as a single device or as a clustered pair. NAS b3000 v2 Single Device Deployment The default shipping configuration contains a two-port embedded network interface controller (NIC) that provides two ports for client data access. These data ports also allow access to the Web user interface (WebUI) that accompanies the product.
Product Overview NAS b3000 v2 Clustered Deployment In a clustered deployment, network connections are divided into two categories: cluster maintenance segments and client data segments. The default shipping configuration contains a two-port embedded NIC that provides one port for cluster maintenance and one port for client data. An additional management port for remote console and diagnostics is provided via the iLO port.
Product Overview Setup and Configuration Overview In setting up clustered and non-clustered systems, there is a well-defined process. This section is intended as an overview of the process, and not a detailed list of step-by-step instructions. Step-by-step procedures are documented in the administration guide. Some of the steps are driven by the WebUI. In either type of setup, it is important to read all of the supplied documentation prior to starting.
Product Overview 7. Using Logical Disk Manager (LDM), write signatures to the disks, mark them as basic or dynamic, create corresponding partitions, extended partitions or volumes, assign drive letters, and format the drives. See the LDM online help for full details on this procedure. 8. This is an optional step. Enable protocols such as NCP and/or AppleTalk as desired. See the administration guide for this procedure in detail. 9. This is a recommended step.
Product Overview 6. While the system is online, assign the LUNs to the first NAS device one at a time so that they can be identified easily in Device Manager. Note: Do not let both nodes access the shared storage devices at the same time until Cluster service is installed on at least one node and that node is online. This can be accomplished through selective storage presentation, SAN switch zoning, or having only one node online at all times. 7.
Product Overview Storage Management Overview This section provides an overview of the components that make up the NAS storage structure. A complete discussion of the components and their relationships is available in the administration guide. Caution: This section on storage management and Windows LDM is required reading material for the NAS administrator. This section develops the concepts and requirements that serve as the basis for successfully using a HP StorageWorks NAS device.

Product Overview Storage Elements The lowest level of storage management on the NAS b3000 v2 occurs at the physical drive level. Physical drives are grouped into RAID arrays for fault tolerance and better performance. Configure RAID arrays using the storage configuration software designated for the particular storage subsystem. In the example provided in Figure 5, logical drives are created from RAID arrays which are then presented to the server via SSP.
Product Overview Persistent Storage Management Elements Persistent Storage Manager lets the administrator make persistent images, also known as snapshots. Snapshots enable the creation of multipurpose logical replicas of production data without having to physically copy the data. They can be used to immediately recover a lost file or directory, to test a new application with realistic data without affecting the “real” data, and to serve as a source of data for backups.
Product Overview File-Sharing Elements Single-server NAS b3000 v2 implementations support several file-sharing protocols, including CIFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, NCP, and AppleTalk. On each persistent storage manager element, folder or logical storage element, different file-sharing protocols can be enabled using specific network names for access across a network to a variety of clients.

Configuration Setup 48 NAS b3000 v2 Quick Start Guide
Beyond Initial Setup 4 This chapter describes the procedures required to configure the HP StorageWorks NAS b3000 v2 on a SAN and those steps necessary to establish a cluster. All documentation and tools are available online via the Web UI. Documentation is repeated here and in the HP StorageWorks NAS b3000 v2 Administration Guide.
Beyond Initial Setup Connecting to the SAN The b3000 V2 is designed to connect to either an MSA1000 based SAN or a Virtual Array based SAN. The SAN Connection Tool included in the HP Utilities tab of the Web UI provides all of the necessary steps for connecting to these two types of SANs. SAN Connection Tool ■ The SAN Connection Tool will aid in connecting to SAN storage. Prior to running the SAN Connection Tool, check the HP website (www.hp.com) for possible updates.
Beyond Initial Setup Virtual Array Requirements ■ If connecting to a Virtual Array, the FCA2101 firmware must be flashed to 3.90a7 prior to running the SAN Connection tool. ■ When connecting to a VA in conjunction with multipath fiber, AutoPath is required. AutoPath licensing is not included with the HP StorageWorks NAS device and must be purchased separately. However, the AutoPath software is included in the HP StorageWorks NAS Device for availability at the time of installation.
Beyond Initial Setup ■ All software components listed in the SAN connection tool must be installed and the fiber cables attached to the HBA(s) before the cluster installation is started. ■ All shared disks must be accessible from both nodes, but not at the same time. See the previous note. ■ All shared disks must be configured as basic (not dynamic). ■ All partitions on the disks must be formatted as NTFS.
Beyond Initial Setup Table 4: Power Sequencing for Cluster Installation Node 1 Node 2 Storage Comments Configuring the First Node On Off Presented Shutd own all nodes; power on the first node. Configuring the Second Node On On Presented Power on the second node after the first node was successfully configured. Post-installation On On Presented At this point all nodes should be on.
Beyond Initial Setup This will prevent configuring the adapter during Cluster service installation. However, after Cluster service is installed on both nodes and both nodes are powered on, the adapter can be added as a cluster resource and configured properly for the private network in Cluster Administrator. Configure the Public Network Adapter While the public network adapter’s IP address can be automatically obtained if a DHCP server is available, this is not recommended for cluster nodes.
Beyond Initial Setup About the Quorum Disk To proceed, power off both nodes. Power up node one. The quorum disk is used to store cluster configuration database checkpoints and log files that help manage the cluster. The quorum disk must be a shared disk resource. Follow these quorum disk recommendations: ■ Dedicate a separate disk for a quorum disk. As the failure of the quorum disk would cause the entire cluster to fail, it is strongly recommended that the disk be a RAID 1 configuration.
Beyond Initial Setup 6. The window shown in Figure 12 below appears. Click I Understand to accept the condition that Cluster service is supported on hardware from the Hardware Compatibility List only. Figure 12: Hardware configuration certification screen 7. Because this is the first node in the cluster, the cluster must be created. Select The first node in the cluster, as shown in Figure 13 below and then click Next.
Beyond Initial Setup Figure 13: Creating a new cluster 8. Enter a name for the cluster (up to 15 characters), and click Next. (In the example, the cluster is named MyCluster.) 9. Type the user name and password of the cluster service account that was created during the pre-installation. Type the domain name, and click Next. At this point the Cluster Service Configuration Wizard validates the user account and password. 10. Click Next.
Beyond Initial Setup Configuring Cluster Disks Note: By default, all SCSI disks not residing on the same bus as the system disk will appear in the Managed Disks list. Therefore, if the node has multiple SCSI buses, some disks may be listed that are not to be used as shared storage (for example, an internal SCSI drive.) Such disks should be removed from the Managed Disks list. 1. The Add or Remove Managed Disks dialog box shown in Figure 14 specifies which shared disks will be used by Cluster service.
Beyond Initial Setup In production clustering scenarios, more than one private network for cluster communication must be used to avoid having a single point of failure. Cluster service can use private networks for cluster status signals and cluster management. This provides more security than using a public network for these roles. It is possible to use a public network for cluster management, or use a mixed network for both private and public communications.
Beyond Initial Setup Figure 15: Public network connection 8. The next dialog box shown in Figure 16 configures the private network. Make sure that the network name and IP address correspond to the network interface used for the private network. 9. Check the box Enable this network for cluster use. 10. Select the option Internal cluster communications only.
Beyond Initial Setup Figure 16: Private network connection 11. Click Next. 12. In this example, both networks are configured in such a way that both can be used for internal cluster communication. The next dialog window offers an option to modify the order in which the networks are used. Because Private Cluster Connection represents a direct connection between nodes, it is left at the top of the list. In normal operation this connection will be used for cluster communication.
Beyond Initial Setup 13. Enter the unique cluster IP address and Subnet mask, and click Next. Figure 17: Cluster IP Address The Cluster Service Configuration Wizard shown in Figure 17 automatically associates the cluster IP address with one of the public or mixed networks. It uses the subnet mask to select the correct network. 14. Click Finish to complete the cluster configuration on the first node.
Beyond Initial Setup 16. Close the Add/Remove Programs window. Validating the Cluster Installation Use the Cluster Administrator snap-in to validate the Cluster service installation on the first node. 1. Click Start. 2. Click Programs. 3. Click Administrative Tools. 4. Click Cluster Administrator. Figure 18: Cluster administrator If the snap-in window is similar to that shown in Figure 18, Cluster service was successfully installed on the first node.
Beyond Initial Setup Configuring the Second Node Note: For this section, leave the first node on and power up the second node. Installing Cluster service on the second node requires less time than on the first node. Setup configures the Cluster service network settings on the second node based on the configuration of the first node. Installation of Cluster service on the second node begins exactly as for the first node. During installation of the second node, the first node must be running.
Beyond Initial Setup Figure 19: Cluster Resources The presence of two nodes (ENTAPP12 and ENTAPP 13 in Figure 19) shows that a cluster exists and is in operation. 2. Right-click one of the groups and select the option Move. The group and all its resources will be moved to the other node. After a short period of time the cluster resources will be brought online on the second node. This shift is visible on the screen. Close the Cluster Administrator snap-in. 3.
Beyond Initial Setup HP StorageWorks NAS Software Updates Once cluster installation is complete, it is necessary to upgrade Services for Unix and NAS DataCopy (if installed) to make them cluster aware. Select the link at the bottom of the Cluster Setup Guide located under the HP Utilities tab in the WEB User Interface to perform the software updates. If DataCopy is installed after the cluster is installed, it will automatically become cluster aware. Note: Complete this procedure on both cluster nodes.
