About this document

The EVA4100/6100/8100 uses active/active controller failover behavior instead of the active/passive controller failover behavior in VCS 3.xxx. The change to active/active will impact most host congurations. The impact of this change may involve replacing HBAs and drivers, installing new multi-pathing software, and re-establishing the correct paths to the storage system LUNs. Use this document to assess: The impact of upgrading your EVA3000/5000 to an EVA4100/6100/8100. Your current host conguration to determine the changes required to support active/active (if applicable). What storage system components may have to be replaced during the upgrade. NOTE: You must be running VCS 3.028 or later, or VCS 4.007 or later to upgrade to an EVA4100/6100/8100. You must perform this assessment on any host connected to the storage system you are considering upgrading. Any host connected to an EVA4100/6100/8100 must be congured to support active/active I/O. This upgrade procedure is used when upgrading to EVA4100/6100/8100 controllers. All upgraded controllers must have XCS 6.110 or later installed.

Upgrade task responsibilities
The following table provides an overview of the major tasks involved in upgrading the storage system and identies who typically performs each task. Many of the tasks can be performed prior to the arrival of HP services to perform the upgrade. Completing these tasks in advance will reduce the amount of time required to upgrade the storage system. Table 7 Upgrade task responsibilities Task
1. Complete the upgrade assessment checklist. This ensures that you have recorded the changes that must be made to your environment. 2. Purchase and install any new HBAs and drivers that may be required. Contact your HP sales representative for assistance in ordering new HBAs. 3. Install new multipath and/or driver software required. This software will be used to connect to the storage system following the VCS upgrade. Many operating systems support the coexistence of active/passive (VCS 3.xxx) and active/active (XCS 6.110 or later) storage systems on the same host. It may be necessary to use separate HBAs and fabric rezoning to implement coexistence on the host. See Table 8. 4. Back up all data on the storage system.

Coexistence supported on the same HBA?
Yes Yes No Yes Yes No No Yes No
1Version 1.1 of the LMP utilities used during the migration from active/passive to active/active does not remove Secure Path from the host, including all LUN information. Consequently, the host can provide failover for any active/passive storage systems that are being managed using Secure Path.
Secure Path and the QLogic driver can reside on the same host, allowing failover management of both active/active and active/passive storage systems. The QLogic driver supports both active/active and active/passive storage systems on the same Linux host, so coexistence is supported when only the QLogic driver is used.

Designed for No-SinglePoint-of-Failure HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway
The EVA family's redundant architecture and value added software is designed to eliminate single-pointsof-failure from server to storage in clustered or single server configurations with multi-pathing. Expanding the power of the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA), the HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway accelerates backup performance in complex SAN environments while improving overall reliability. Integrating seamlessly into existing backup applications and processes by emulating popular tape libraries and tape drives, the HP VLS 12000 EVA Gateway matches the existing data protection environment, removing the need to change backup software or monitoring policies. Additionally, because the VLS EVA Gateway uses HP EVAs as the storage pool, ease of use is maintained throughout the system. By emulating multiple tape drives simultaneously, more backup jobs can be done in parallel resulting in reduced backup times and, because the data resides on disk, single file restores are exceptionally fast. The HP Virtual Library System EVA Gateway simplifies your SAN environment by providing more virtual devices and leveraging existing switches and HP EVA infrastructure. The result is the ability to vastly increase scale yet reduce the complexity of shared storage while maintaining the manageability of the system. As your environment changes, the HP Virtual Library System EVA Gateway adapts to it - host masking and mapping ensure that only the appropriate hosts have access to the HP Virtual Library System. http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/disk_storage/disk_to_disk/vls/index.html
Remote Replication Solutions (Software options)
HP StorageWorks Continuous Access provides disaster tolerant replication across a Fibre Channel SAN. Continuous Access EVA performs real-time replication between HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays of the current and earlier generations. Continuous Access EVA provides the highest level of FC SAN data protection to customers in order to meet disaster tolerant business continuity implementation goals. Through the use of MAN/WAN Fibre Channel SAN extensions, Continuous Access EVA provides 24x7 protections against disaster like scenarios, in campus, metro or continental networks. Thus, enabling business protection against unforeseen events. HP StorageWorks Disaster Tolerant Solution for mySAP Business Suite on EVA offers a business continuance solution for SAP environments, where data integrity and value added functionality are high priorities. Information on implementing remote mirroring of an SAP database as part of an overall data protection strategy with SAP applications can be found at: http://h71028.www7.hp.com/erc/downloads/4aa1-5683Enw.pdf The HP StorageWorks IP Distance Gateway provides SAN over WAN connectivity for protecting and replicating data between EVA systems. By connecting islands of SANs over WANs, the IP Distance Gateway enables CA replication (Asynchronous and Synchronous), SAN device sharing, data migration and other long distance data services. At the core of providing long distance data services is the ability to copy, move and replicate data locally and over long distances. However, SANs have limited distance capabilities (10km) and IT managers need to share, protect and move data over greater distances than 10km, routers and switches that link SANs over IP WANs is the weapon of choice for most IT managers. The IP Distance Gateway uses the FCIP (Fibre Channel Internet Protocol) standard to extend SAN connectivity over the WAN.

Please contact your local HP representative for further information 10K rpm Drive Support The EVA supports 300/450/600 GB 10K rpm dual-ported 2/4 Gb/s FC disk. The EVA4100 will support up to 56 disk drives. The EVA6100 will support up to 112 disk drives. An EVA8100 will support up to 240 disk drives. The EVA arrays will support single or mixed drive capacities and types (high performance and FATA) within an enclosure. HP recommends using the same drive type (the same capacity) within a disk group because virtualization allocates space proportionate to the highest capacity drive within the group. The EVA also supports 146 GB, 300GB, 450GB and 600 GB 15K rpm dual-ported 2/4 Gb/s FC disk drives. The EVA arrays will support single or mixed drive capacities and types (high performance and FATA) within an enclosure. HP recommends using the same drive type (the same capacity) within a disk group because virtualization allocates space proportionate to the highest capacity drive within the group. The EVA supports 1TB dual ported 2 Gb/s Fibre Attached Technology Adapted (FATA) disk. An EVA will support a full configuration of FATA disk drives up to the virtual device mapping limit. The EVA4100/6100/8100 can be configured with any combination of FATA and high performance disk drives; total raw capacity will vary based upon the redundancy (Vraid) selected. A minimum of eight FATA drives are required in a configuration. FATA drives are designed for lower duty cycle applications such as near on-line data replication for back-up. These drives should not be used as a replacement for EVA's high performance, standard duty cycle, Fibre Channel drives. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive. NOTE: XCS V6.2 supports the 1TB FATA. It has virtual device mapping (addressable capacity) limits of 120/120/300TB (EVA4000 & EVA4100/EVA6000 & EVA6100/EV8000 & EVA8100 respectively). Calculation of virtual device capacity includes all created virtual disks plus the mapped capacity of all snapshot, snapclone and mirrorclones on the array. The potential to reach the limits vary with the usage of the array. When installing a significant number of the 1TB FATA drives into an array contact your sales or service representative to discuss your configuration requirements. Expansion of the virtual device mapping limits will occur in Mid 2008.

Please see the following URL for more information on FATA drives, their uses and their benefits: http://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/5982-7353EN.pdf Fibre Channel Technology The EVA4100/6100/8100 takes advantage of the benefits of Fibre Channel (FC) in distance, performance and connectivity. The use of optical Fibre cabling allows distances between connected segments of a SAN to be up to 500 meters @ 1 Gb/s; 300 meters @ 2 Gb/s using short wave multimode cable and up to 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) @ 1 Gb/s when using long wave cable. The EVA4100/EVA6100/EVA 8100 are 4 Gb/s enabled on each FC path, but will also support 2 Gb/s FC paths for backwards compatibility. Storage Area Networks (SANs) can be constructed using FC switches/directors for fabric connectivity (currently up to a maximum of 20 FC switches supported). Fibre Channel Switch/Director Support Support for up to twenty FC switches operating at 2 Gb/s and FC switches operating at 4 Gb/s allow the full benefits of a storage area network (SAN), providing exceptional connectivity while increasing the effective bandwidth of the network. Supported SAN features include Zoning for communication isolation and Inter-Switch Links (hops) up to 10 km. The EVA4100/6100/8100 supports 4 Gb/s FC enabled. For more information on specific support specifications see the following Switch URL: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure/switches.html The EVA6100 has two FC host interfaces per HSV200-B controller; four for a controller pair. The EVA8100 has four FC host interfaces per HSV210-B controller; eight for a controller pair. Each controller-to-host interface is 4 Gb/s. The controllers are also compatible with 2 Gb/s and 4 Gb/s FC switches, HBAs, servers and other storage solutions. Each EVA controller pair interfaces with M5314C drive enclosures either directly or through fibre channel loop switches. With 2 (for EVA4100/6100) and 4 (for EVA8100) device ports per controller and dual FC I/O modules per drive enclosure, each controller can connect to each FC drive A and B port. So each controller has a redundant path to each drive. Easy Installation The EVA6100/8100 predefined models ship from the factory fully configured. After unpacking, they can be plugged into power sources, connected to the FC SAN, enabled and configured using Command View EVA and they are ready for use. Installation and start-up services are part of the EVA Foundation Service Solution warranty and are available on most of the EVA4100/6100/8100 offerings.

All EVAs have dual redundant power distribution. Two independent power cords distribute power through two Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to each side of the EVA cabinets and to each power supply of the controllers and to each power supply of the drive enclosures and to each of the FC loop switches. Each cabinet power cord can be connected to independent power sources. For maximum availability, a customer should provide redundant power from independent power circuit breakers, independent power lines from the power company and even independent power companies. Integration HP EVA6100/8100 models are 4Gb/s FC Switched Fabric "enabled" and can operate on 4Gb/s or 2Gb/s FC Switched Fabric SANs. They can co-exist in the same FC SAN with EVA3000, EVA4100 and EVA5000 FC storage solutions and many other SAN devices. HP StorageWorks Command View EVA provides the capability to manage the EVA Array family in a SAN or direct connect Fibre Channel host attach configuration. HP Command View EVA software runs on a variety of server configurations; ProLiant DL380 G5 and DL585 G2 Storage Servers are the perfect platforms from which to run Command View EVA. ProLiant Storage Server gateway models (including the DL380 G5 x64 SAN Storage Server and DL585 G2 Storage Server) allow you to stretch your investment by combining EVA management, file and print services, and iSCSI connectivity all on the same platform. The powerful Command View EVA provides an easy mechanism to manage up to 16 EVA units in a SAN configuration. Industry leading security enhancements in Command View now allows administrators to take advantage of Windows domains and local groups. Command View integrates with Windows Active Directory to authorize and authenticate users. In addition, all user actions and events that change system state are logged. Administrators can now use the audit logging capabilities to see who did what and when. The Command View EVA media kits and license are required with all EVA models. HP Command View EVA requires a License to use (LTUs) equal to, or greater than the total raw capacity of each array. Performance Fibre Channel host connections provide up to 200MB/s bandwidth for each path. Dual mirrored port write caching capability, with battery backed cache, maintains optimal availability while assuring data integrity in the event of a failure. Each HSV200-B controller (for EVA6100 configurations) has two Fibre Channel host ports (four ports in a redundant pair of controllers) assuring the availability of bandwidth for the most demanding applications. In addition, up to 4GB of cache per controller pair ensures high performance. Each HSV210-B controller (for EVA8100 configurations) has four Fibre Channel host ports (eight ports in a redundant pair of controllers) assuring the availability of bandwidth for the most stringent applications. In addition, up to 8GB of cache per controller pair ensures high performance.

Scalability

A storage management server can manage up to 16 EVA controller pairs (EVA 3000s, EVA5000s, , EVA4x00s, EVA6x00s and/or EVA8x00s) in any one fabric. An EVA controller pair will support up to 256 host connections (up to 1024 HBAs). The EVA6100 will scale up to 112 disks (112TB using 1TB FATA disk drives, and 67.2TB using 600 GB high performance disk drives). The EVA8100 will scale up to 168 disks in a single cabinet and with the addition of an optional utility cabinet, an EVA8100 will scale up to 240 disks (240TB using 1TB FATA disk drives, and 144TB using 600 GB high performance disk drives). Configure to Order (CTO) options and the HP 10000 G2 Series Racks allow even greater server and device integration, flexibility and scalability for the EVA6100/8100. Data center managers can customize server, storage and back-up configurations as well as using the residual cabinet U space to mount Storage Management servers, switches and have the peace of mind that it is built with HP factory precision manufacturing. The EVA8100 2C2D, 2C6D, and 2C12D, now allows customers to configureto-order their new EVA8100 units from HP manufacturing.
EVA as Virtualized Storage HP StorageWorks EVA6100/8100 disk arrays can be connected as external storage devices behind HP StorageWorks XP disk arrays. behind the XP The XP24000/XP20000 simplifies the management of heterogeneous SAN environments through its ability to support up to 247 PB/ 96 PB respectively of external storage-all configured 'behind' a single XP. XP External Storage software uses advanced virtualization technology to allow storage administrators to host XP Disk Array LUNs on externally attached disk arrays. Any Fibre Channel port from any CHA pair installed in any slot can be used to connect to external storage EVA4100/6100/8100. With external EVA storage, XP presents multiple tiers of storage to a wide range of host systems. Instead of seeing a confusing collection of arrays, host systems perceive all the data to be stored inside the XP disk array. In effect, the XP disk array becomes the storage controller for a flexible, multi-tiered collection of EVAs with a range of cost and performance capabilities. By configuring EVA storage arrays behind a single XP24000/XP20000, data can be moved back and forth dynamically across tiers, all of which is invisible to the applications. The XP12000's virtualization feature also reduces the total cost of storage ownership by: Exploiting common storage management across multiple vendors' systems Easily deploying a dual-vendor policy Facilitating simpler and lower cost data migrations Increasing storage utilization Extending the life of legacy storage For more information please refer to the HP StorageWorks XP External Storage Software web page at: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storage/software/extstxp/index.html.

Step 3 - Choose a Rack - Base and Factory Integration Information
Factory Integration Start your order by choosing a rack to house your EVA6100/8100 based on the HP 10000 G2 Series Rack. NOTE: The 10000 G2 Series Rack is the only series supported for factory configuration. NOTE: When choosing an EVA configuration, start with an EVA configuration "equal to" or "closest but smaller" than the desired final configuration. Factory configuration rules will not allow a unit to be built up past the starting point for another standard configuration. (For example for an EVA6100 2C6D choose an EVA6100 2C4D plus 2 M5314COrders that do not follow these conventions will be unable to be processed. Use of the EVA Factory Integration part number is required for component integration. If other products such as servers or back-up products are included in the cab a different PDU will be added (if required) or can be chosen from a list of appropriate offerings shown in the configuration tool. EVA8100 2C2D and 2C6D purchased without additional servers or products will be racked in the center of the rack. When these configurations are purchased with servers or other components the EVA will be racked from the bottom up. If a customer has a specific racking requirement they should use the Factory Express option to define the configuration. HP 10000 G2 Series Rack must be purchased. EVA6100/8100 bundles and drive enclosures may be ordered for multiple subsystem integration at the factory. Additional cabs are required to house configurations beyond the U-space of the initial cabinet. Ballast and stabilizers will be offered through the configurator tools for use when required. The EVA4100/6100 and EVA8100 controller pair assemblies are only available for field installation and should be chosen when field installation is required. HP Global Services will perform the on-site installation when an EVA4100/6100 or EVA8100 controller pair assembly is ordered. The 5642 (42U) Rack Cabinet System is supported for field installation.
