What Is Remote Control XP?

Remote Control XP (RC) is a software application running on a PC known as the Remote Console Connect to, manage, and monitor XP arrays Arrays connect to the remote console via a private LAN Can control up to 16 XP arrays (one at a time) Remote Console communicates directly with the SVP Interface to several optional XP software products once enabled via a software license key on both the RC an SVP
The SNMP agent for the XP256 runs on the Remote Console
H6773S F.00
56
Remote Control XP System Requirements

Windows NT or Windows 2000 Processor: 400-600 MHz Pentium II or better* Memory: 16 MB or more 3.5-inch diskette drive CD-ROM drive (XP512) Ethernet LAN interface card Monitor: VGA with 256 colors or better Keyboard and mouse TCP/IP protocol
* If you plan to use one PC for both Remote Control and CommandView, an 800 MHz or better processor is recommended.
H6773S F.00

Remote Control XP Installation

Run setup from the Remote Control XP distribution media Perform your network and TCP/IP configuration (XP256) Install SNMP agent
H6773S F.00

Private LAN IP Address Guidelines

Private LAN network address is always 126.0.0.0 The netmask is always 255.0.0.0 Gateway is blank The IP address of the XP is always in the form of 126.xxx.yyy.15 Where xxx and yyy are derived from the serial number Remote Control XP IP address is normally 126.0.0.33 Additional Remote Control XP IP address can be 126.0.xxx.33

Secure Manager XP Overview

Secure Manager XP allows you to restrict a LUNs availability to a specified host or group of hosts in a SAN, using the hosts worldwide name (WWN). Other hosts cannot access the secured LUN and its data. Real-Time I/O level security or can prohibit access from a WWN to a Port:LUN by returning a not present status for the SCSI Inquiry command (depends on setting of system mode bit 111 on SVP). Secure Manager XP is enabled by a licensed key. Configuration can be done on SVP, Remote Console or with Command View XP. Secure Manager XP is supported only for Fibre Channel ports. LUN security can be changed without taking the port offline.
Steps to Define LUN Security

Using either Remote Control XP or Command View XP: Add WWN list for the port WWN/Nickname Create WWN groups (optional) Useful in cluster environments Create LUN groups (optional) Useful when several LUNS have a common access list Selectively grant access between WWN/WWN groups and LUN/LUN groups.

Load Balancing Policies

Round Robin I/O requests are cycled though each path sequentially without regard to queue depth Shortest Queue Length (fewest I/Os) I/O requests are assigned to the hardware path with the fewest number of pending I/O requests Shortest Service Time I/O requests are assigned to the hardware path with the least I/O service time None (no load balancing) I/O is routed through either the default path (of the LVM) or a user-specified Preferred Path Well see how to set a load balancing policy a little later.

Configuring AutoPath
On system boot, AutoPath detects multipath capable hardware (HBAs, XP arrays, and VA arrays) Use ioscan to find the device files of the HBAs Execute AutoPath commands to set load balancing policies or preferred paths
H6773S F.00
225 225
Command-Line Interface
The CLI has five commands: To set the load balancing policy autopath set_lbpolicy <policy> <path> To display the load balancing policy, all paths to the end device, HBA, and status autopath display <path|all> To set a preferred path (no load balancing policy) autopath set_prefpath <devicepath> To spawn a process to enable automatic path recovery, which is automatically activated at system boot autopath recover There is a manpage for autopath
H6773S F.00
226 226
Which Load Balancing Policy Is Best?

The best policy is based on the processing environment, and that can change throughout the day Try these: For hit-intensive environments (for example, databases with lots of I/Os) try Shortest Queue Length For data-size intensive environments (for example, when in contention with backup) try Shortest Service Time Also, you might try scripting CLI commands to easily change policies at different times of day
H6773S F.00
227 227
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting should be more about failed paths than a failure of AutoPath Right after installation, perform tests to confirm that AutoPath is running correctly: Run the autopath display command Set no load balancing (None) and a preferred path Set all paths Degraded performance during peak utilization is likely to be the first direct sign to a user that a path has failed Run the autopath display command to make frequent inspections Look for any paths with a failed link status or for paths with no load balancing policy in place

Which Load Balance Policy Is Best?

The best policy is based on the processing environment, and that can change throughout the day First, check the Path Performance window (well discuss that in a few minutes) There are three shortest queue policies, which use instantaneous metrics Try these: For hit-intensive environments (for example, database with lots of I/Os) try Shortest_Queue_Requests For data-size intensive environments (for example, when in contention with backup) try Shortest_Queue_Bytes Also, you might try scripting CLI commands to easily change policies at different times of day

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting should be more about failed paths than a failure of AutoPath Right after installation, perform tests to be assured that AutoPath is running correctly: Run the autopath adapters and autopath devices commands Set no load balancing with a preferred path Set all paths Use the Path Performance window Degraded performance during peak utilization is likely to be the first direct sign to a user that a path has failed Use the Path Performance window Make frequent inspections of the log
H6773S F.00
258
Windows Troubleshooting
Event Viewer
The viewer logs when a path is taken out of service, all disk and adapter errors, and I/O errors.
Windows Diagnostics
The Administrative Tools utility shows all devices connected to the system.
Windows Registry
Shows the devices connected to the Windows system. Use the Registry Editor to display the devices seen at boot time.
Disk Administrator
Shows the paths that are online and offline. If all the paths to a LUN appear to be offline, it is likely that the device is not preformatted at the disk array level. Preformat the device, and the Disk Administrator will see the path of the device and the remaining paths offline.
Recovering from a Path Failure

Determine that a path has failed Diagnose and correct the failure Run Microsoft Disk Administrator or wait 60 seconds Display paths to be sure the path is active If a path was the preferred path, you must reset it manually on the Device Settings window

Configuring Services File

One port is required for each instance. Each port requires distinctive name and distinctive port number within that host. File locations: Unix: /etc/services Windows NT/2000: \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services MPE-iX: SERVICES.NET.SYS Example:
Host: hst1
# File Transfer Protocol # Virtual Terminal Protocol # World Wide Web HTTP # horcm0 instance for HORC # horcm1 instance for SI

Creating A HORCM File - Steps

Create initial horcm file with the correct HORCM_MON & HORCM_CMD information. Comment off all other values. Start a RM instance (horcmstart.sh). Run raidscan with the correct port option argument and find the correct TID & LUN information to put in the HORCM_DEV section (example: raidscan -p CL2-G -CLI -fx). Fix the horcm.conf files one for each pair member. Create the HORCM_DEV & HORCM_INST sections. Stop & restart RM instance (horcmshutdown.sh & horcmstart.sh scripts) Run pairdisplay (pairdisplay c) to confirm correctness of the horcm file.

What Is Application Policy Manager?

A tool that enhances XP array performance management by: Controlling the performance available to each host and Host Bus Adapter (HBA) Limiting the maximum available performance for lower priority hosts Preventing lower priority hosts from impacting higher priority hosts Providing a number of ease-of-use features, such as creating and managing performance groups, scheduling, and reporting
H6773S F.00
433
Key Features (1/2)

APM sets performance limits for groups of host HBAs via Worldwide Names (WWNs) or nicknames Performance groups enhance ease of management Automatically gathers information about the hosts and HBAs, and uses this information when making settings You can specify performance limits in either MB/sec or IOs/sec You can schedule performance settings to take effect by the hour, day, day of week, etc. APM monitors and reports performance results
H6773S F.00
434
Key Features (2/2)

Provides both web based (GUI) management and command line based (CLI) management CLI allows scripting and task automation Fully integrates into Command View Supports Windows and HP-UX hosts Supports up to 32 HBAs per port Not Supported for the XP 256

Cache LUN Modes

Data is not read into cache until referenced There are two Cache LUN modes: Priority mode Generates traffic to disk Cache areas can become free Writes cause destaging to disk Destaging to disk causes time delays Bind mode Keeps data in cache and doesnt generate traffic to disk Keeps data until extent is removed During a loss of AC power, battery can preserve data for up to 48 hours Mode is configurable for each cache extent
Auto LUN XP
Auto LUN allows you to configure the disk array to monitor disk volume performance and auto-migrate the data You can create a migration plan using a script-like interface to define the migration conditions. Then, based on this plan, the array can move the data and path automatically whenever a threshold limit is crossed. There is also a manual migration option.
