Both enclosures include dual power supplies with built-in dual blowers, and accommodate up to 15 low-profile 3.5-inch native fibre channel (FC) disk drives in the front. The controller enclosure also includes dual redundant 1 or 2-Gbps FC capable array controller cards and the disk enclosure also includes dual redundant 1- or 2-Gbps link controller cards for back-end connections to the controllers. All field replaceable units are hot swappable. The array controller cards, however, must be replaced offline if the OS does not support controller failover. The VA7410 can operate in either RAID 1+0 mode or AutoRAID mode. These data protection levels are user selectable at the time of initial array installation. Using Virtual Storage Array (VSA) technology, when configured in AutoRAID mode the array controller automatically selects RAID 1+0 (disk striping and mirroring) or RAID 5DP (RAID 5 Double Parity) depending on the usage patterns of the data. This protection scheme eliminates the requirement for the system administrator to understand and configure RAID levels. RAID 5DP provides superior data redundancy by protecting against the simultaneous failure of two member disks by using independent error correction schemes. Users will find configuration significantly easier than other array products, since RAID levels dont need to be configured or managed. The VA7410 supports two redundancy groups, which provides for physical data path separation of the two groups of LUNS. The VA7410 is architected to communicate with multiple hosts and operating systems, otherwise known as a simultaneous heterogeneous environment. For details on supported operating systems, please refer to the Spock Website and Partnership Website: Spock website: For VA7410 array: For VA7400 array: For VA7110 array: For VA7100 array: http://nss-streams.corp.hp.com/xp_documentation/va7410_docs.htm http://nss-streams.corp.hp.com/xp_documentation/va7400_docs.htm http://nss-streams.corp.hp.com/xp_documentation/va7110_docs.htm http://nss-streams.corp.hp.com/xp_documentation/va7100_docs.htm
Partnership website: http://partner.americas.hp.com/ One host port behavior is initially set in controller firmware, and then heterogeneous support for all other operating systems is enabled through software in a host port behavior table. The controller default host port behavior is set for HP-UX. The VA7xxx products are managed by the HP Command View SDM host-resident software. A one-host license to use for HP StorageWorks Command View SDM is included with each VA7410. Currently HP StorageWorks Command View SDM runs native on HP-UX, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Red Hat Linux 6.2, 7.1. Installations on any of the other supported operating systems will require a dedicated management station running one of the aforementioned operating systems to be in the data path of the VA7410 (i.e. in the switched fabric). The VA7410 can be configured to use an active hot spare feature. An active hot spare is a portion of the array capacity reserved to perform a rebuild. This feature requires the use of additional disk drives in the array. Users can select from 0, 1, or 2 active hot spares. An active hot spare ensures that the array can maintain data redundancy if one or two disks fail. Until it is needed, the array uses the active hot spare storage space as RAID 1+0 capacity, which improves array performance. The active hot spare storage capacity does not sit idle; it is used to increase the array performance until the storage it is needed. The VA7410 can be connected to one or more hosts, hubs, or switches via an optical fibre channel (FC) interface with OS-dependant, 1- or 2-Gbps transfer rates. The default factory setting is 1-Gbps. It can be ordered in factory-racked and field-rackable configurations. Factory-racked products are pre-configured in the HP Rack/System E racks. Field-rackable products can be racked in HP racks or in Compaq 9000 racks. The VA7410 is supported by HPs Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE). HPs online diagnostic and resolution capability securely delivers remote reactive services that quickly resolve problems, proactive service that anticipate and prevent downtime due to computing issues, and value-added services to help monitor, manage and maintain global IT networks. A minimum level hardware support upgrade of same day is required.

Battery Each array controller includes one battery to supply backup power to the DIMMs in the event have a power failure or if array power is switched off. If power is lost, the BATTERY LED will flash with a 5% duty cycle while it powers the DIMMs. The battery will maintain a charge for 3.5 days. If the battery loses its charge, or if it is removed from the controller, the DIMMs have no power and NVRAM contents are lost. A battery should be replaced when the software indicates a battery has failed. Early Warning Switch In a dual controller configuration, the NVRAM contents on both controllers are updated constantly. By maintaining a mirror image of the NVRAM, the secondary controller can take over immediately if the primary controller fails. If a dual controller needs to be replaced online, an early warning switch incorporated into the latch detects when the controller is being removed. Releasing the latch disables communication between controllers before power is lost to the controller being removed. This prevents corruption of the NVRAM contents. Disk Drives The array must have a minimum of four disk drives installed. Several types of disk drives can be installed in the array and capacities can be mixed within the array: 18-GB Low-Profile Fibre Channel 15,000 rpm (supported, but no longer orderable) 36-GB Low-Profile Fibre Channel 10,000 rpm 36-GB Low-Profile Fibre Channel 15,000 rpm 73-GB Low-Profile Fibre Channel 10,000 rpm 73-GB Low-Profile Fibre Channel 15,000 rpm 146-GB Low-Profile Fibre Channel 10,000 rpm (VA7410 and VA7110 arrays only)
The disk drives provide the storage medium for the disk array. A minimum of four disk modules is required to operate the disk array. Different capacity disk modules can be installed in the same array. A new disk can be added at any time, even while the disk array is operating. The array controller will recognize that a new disk has been added and will include the disk in the array configuration automatically if the Auto Include feature is enabled. To make the additional capacity available to the host, a new logical drive must be created, and the resulting drive must be configured into the operating system. Loading Rules VA7100 Four (4) disks minimum and fifteen (15) disks maximum (4 of each type) VA7110 Four (4) disks minimum and forty five (45) disks maximum (4 of each type) VA7410 disk loading rules: Ten (10) disk minimum per VA7410 One hundred and five (105) disks maximum Four (4) disks minimum for each disk type that is installed, then user can add singles after that.

Item World Wide Name (WWN) Default Fibre Channel Loop Addresses Description The Node WWN is used by the OS drivers to identify the array enclosure. The following default Fibre Channel loop addresses are assigned to array controllers: Array Controller 1: 108 Array Controller 2: 110 The default Fibre Channel loop addresses can be changed using either the Virtual Front Panel (VPF) or the Command Line User Interface (CLUI) included with your HP Command View SDM software. Product Mode Parameters Product Serial Number Product ID Number VA7100 Product ID Number VA7110 Product ID Number VA7410 NOTE: An array in a point-to-point configuration does not arbitrate for the bus, so no Fibre Channel loop addresses are required. Retains various operating parameters Same as the serial number sticker applied to the array Same as the product ID number (A6188A) Same as the product ID number (A7293A) Same the product ID number (A6218A)
User installed licenses are stored within the Midplane EEPROM. These licenses are associated with a particular product serial number. If the Midplane must be replaced, a special Midplane may be ordered which, will allow the automatic regeneration of product serial number, licenses and product mode parameters. This information will be automatically re-programmed within the new Midplane EEPROMs if the replacement procedure is followed. LED Status Indications If a disk drive, controller, battery, DIMM, power supply or fan fails in the enclosure, a fault will be indicated by a fault (amber) LED on the module. The nature of the fault can be localized by examining the state of the LEDs.
Array Logs The array logs consist of the following controller logs: Events Errors Unexpected conditions Configuration changes Environmental changes Fibre Channel Port Statistics Historical Fibre Channel port information Performance Input/Output per second Flash Event log stored in flash memory in the event of a loss of battery power The array logs are stored in two (2) locations: The Controller(s). Host operating system: The HP Command View SDM software polls the array controller every 15 minutes and updates a host OS directory located on the host server internal disk drive. These logs contain Event data will be commonly accessed by the support entity HP Response Center. Note: The Fibre Channel Port Statistics and Performance log are stored in dynamic memory and will be lost when the array is powered off.

What environments are available for HP StorageWorks Auto Path on the VA? HP StorageWorks Auto Path has planned availability of Windows 2000, Windows NT, and HP-UX with Red Hat Linux planned for future availability. HP StorageWorks Fast Recovery Solutions for Microsoft Exchange 2000 & SQL 2000 HP StorageWorks Fast Recovery Solutions (FRS) is a tool designed to enable fast recovery of corrupt Exchange 2000 or SQL 2000 databases. FRS interacts with Windows 2000, Exchange 2000 or SQL server, and the disk array. The disk array stages recovery ready copies of Exchange 2000/SQL 2000 databases. When a catastrophic event occurs, the Exchange administrator initiates the FRS process. This process takes the damaged database offline, removes it and inserts the known good, recovery-ready copy on the production server. This process recovers the known good copy from disk rather than tape providing a full database recovery in minutes not hours.
