Overview
HP StorageWorks Secure Path
Secure Path is multi-path, high availability software that manages and maintains continuous data access to HP storage systems enabling no-single-point-of-failure (NSPoF) from server to storage. Secure Path is host-resident software that monitors the data paths between server and storage to increase availability of information. In the event that a path failure is detected, Secure Path fails over to an alternative path. When that path becomes available, Secure Path can automatically fail back to the original path. For Windows, Linux, SUN and HP-UX systems connected to the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array or the HGS80 storage controllers, Secure Path can dynamically balance the workload among available paths to optimize system performance. Secure Path on the NetWare and IBM-AIX platforms provide static workload balancing. Secure Path v4.0C for Windows supports hosts connected to the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA5000, EVA3000), HP StorageWorks Modular Array 8000 (MA8000)/Enterprise Modular Array 12000 (EMA12000)/Enterprise Modular Array 16000 (EMA16000), RAID Array 8000 (RA8000)/Enterprise Storage Array 12000 (ESA12000), Modular Array 6000 (MA6000) and the Modular Smart Array 1000 storage solutions.

Standard Features
No-Single-Point-OfFailure
Multiple path failover capability and redundant components architecture eliminate single points-of-failure from server to storage in a clustered or single server configuration. Secure Path supports up to 32 paths per LUN, depending on the host. See Technical Specifications below for more details. Secure Path provides high availability in complex SAN (storage area networks) ensuring application and data availability in enterprise solutions. Fibre Channel storage controllers provide redundant paths for continuous 24x7 data access. Redundant physical connections define separate physical "paths" in a Secure Path hardware configuration. Each path originates at an HBA port on the server and ends at a unique RAID controller port in the storage system. Secure Path products provide automatic load distribution for Windows, Linux, Sun and HP-UX hosts across the available paths to optimize the performance of the storage controllers. Administratorcontrolled load balancing capability is available for IBM AIX and NetWare hosts. Load balancing is supported with the XP, Virtual Array (VA), EVA5000, EVA3000, EVA4000, EVA6000, EVA8000, MA8000, EMA12000, EMA16000, RA8000, ESA12000, and MA6000 solutions.

High Availability

Performance
Clustered Server Support Secure Path provides cluster support for host-level fault tolerance and high system availability. Cluster software supported includes: Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) Oracle Parallel Server (OPS) on Microsoft Windows, and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on Microsoft Windows with EVA and MSA1000 and Linux with MSA1000 SteelEye LifeKeeper for Linux (for 2 node clusters) (32-bit only) NetWare Cluster Server VERITAS Cluster Server (on Sun) Sun Clusters HP ServiceGuard for HP-UX and for Linux (2 node clusters) HACMP Manageability Windows and NetWare hosts are managed with Secure Path Manager v4 (SPM), a web-based management application that allows continuous monitoring of the multi-path environment, displays path status and alerts on significant events. Secure Path Manager presents a SAN-wide view of path connectivity between managed hosts and LUNs. Its easy to use interface allows users to customize paths and optimize availability and performance for the specific SAN. Secure Path Manager runs on either the SAN Management Appliance or on a Windows 2000 server. Users can browse to Secure Path Manager using standard web browsers. Secure Path Manager allows the user to enable automatic load balancing to ensure maximum I/O efficiency, when managing the EVA5000, EVA3000, EVA4000, EVA6000, EVA8000, RA8000/ESA12000, MA8000/EMA12000/ EMA16000, MA6000, XP, and VA storage solutions. Sun and HP-UX hosts are managed with the Secure Path Management Tool (secure path manager), which is a command line application and has the following features:

On the Sun platform, select also supports preferred path. Set - Enable or disable special driver functionality. Uunalias - Delete an alias. Unprefer - Remove a preferred path attribute (for HP-UX only) Update - Update the driver persistence file. With Sun and HP-UX hosts, you are notified of changes in the state of the paths via the console, email or syslog. The Sun Spmgr tool supports command management from a remote host. Linux hosts are also managed with the Secure Path Management Tool (secure path manager) and support the above commands with the exception of "add", "delete", and "update" The Secure Path for IBM AIX Management tool (CamBex Fibre Channel Storage Management) includes the following options: listdev - Prints a list of all devices connected to the Fibre Channel adapters with status of the paths to the device. listpath - Displays information about the paths to a specific device. unfail - Changes the state parameter of a device path from Failed or from Standby to Online. listadapt - Lists the Fibre Channel adapters in the system. config - Configures paths to all devices that are connected to the adapter. listall - Displays full path, adapter and device information. Multi-host Management Secure Path Manager v4 also supports the concept of management groups (or profiles) to manage groups of hosts. One profile can have up to 128 hosts and up to 128 storage systems. Multiple profiles can be created to manage more hosts or storage systems. A profile can contain a mixture of clustered and non-clustered hosts. Secure Path for Microsoft Windows and Sun includes an upgrade process that quickly allows you to take advantage of the new features without reconfiguration of the storage systems. The upgrade procedure is designed to convert a current configuration to the new configuration. Software kit containing CD-ROM media, documentation and license. Standard Industry 90-day conformance.

1For Solaris 10 x86 only Sun native adapters or specic FCAs for HP Proliant Blade servers are supported. Please check 2PCI-Express FCAs are not supported on Solaris 8 and are supported on Solaris 9 only with some server models.
the array release notes or with your HP representative for the supported FCAs.
Supported multipathing combinations
The combination of MPxIO and Secure Path on the same server can only be supported if FCA2257P is used for Secure Path and Sun native or Emulex adapters are used for MPxIO. To view more multipathing combinations supported by MPxIO, go to http://www.hp.com/go/ sandesignguide. From the web page, select the complete HP StorageWorks SAN design reference guide (1-5) and check the table Sun Solaris multipathing coexistence support.
Preparing the host system
To set up the host system: 1. For Solaris 8 & 9 and Fibre Channel Adapters (FCAs) from Sun or QLogic: If the OS has been installed before adding QLogic based FCAs, you may need to install SUNWqlc and SUNWqlcx rst. See http://sunsolve.sun.com (and select Document id 74507) for further details. 2. Install the necessary software components for the different Solaris versions: a. For Solaris 8 and 9, download the Sun SAN Foundation Software (SFS) 4.4.8 or later, SAN_4.4.x_install_it.tar.Z which includes all the patches. Install it with the included install_it script, available at http://www.sun.com/storagetek/storage_networking/ by selecting SAN 4.4 release Software/Firmware Upgrades & Documentation. To verify which version of SFS has been installed, go to http://sunsolve.sun.com (see Document id 77230). b. For Solaris 10 (SPARC), the required patches depend on the FCA. With QLogic based FCAs (from Sun or QLogic) SUNWqlc with patch or later is required With Emulex based FCAs (from Sun or Emulex), SUNWemlxs and SUNWemlxu with patches 1202221 and 19130-26 or later Use /usr/bin/updatemanager (see http://www.sun.com/service/sunupdate/) to update to the current Sun SAN patch level c. For Solaris 10 (x86), the required patches depend on the FCA. Choose from one of the following For QLogic FCAs (from Sun or QLogic) SUNWqlc with patch 1 19131-24 or later For Emulex FCAs (from Sun or Emulex) SUNWemlxs and SUNWemlxu with patches 1 19131-24 and 120223-1 or later are required 1 To update to the current Sun Solaris SAN patch level, enter/usr/bin/updatemanager See http://www.sun.com/service/sunupdate for more information. 3. Reboot the Host after installing the (software and) patches. 4. Upgrade each FCA to the latest FCA Fcode/OpenBoot if required (typically requires single user mode and no I/O activity): For FCAs from Sun, go to http://sunsolve.sun.com/ or check with Sun if the FCA requires an fcode update and follow the instructions in the patch description in case a patch is available For native Emulex FCAs, check the Emulex web site (http://www.emulex.com) for the latest OpenBoot version for the given FCA. Download the fcode and FCA utilities from that web site and use /opt/EMLXemlxu/bin/emlxadm to check and update the fcode For native QLogic FCAs, check the QLogic web site at http://www.qlogic.com for the latest qlc Fcode. Download the fcode and SANSurfer CLI from that web site and use /opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI/scli to check and update the fcode 5. Reboot the Host after updating the Fcode on the FCAs.

Congure and verify the host
Verifying conguration settings
Verify that all paths to the storage system are present with cfgadm -al command. To display the LUNs congured to each path, execute cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev as shown in the example below. The following examples are with 4 paths (ports) visible from the array on the host and with 2 LUNs congured on the array for the host. You should normally see 4 paths with EVA3000/ EVA5000/ EVA4000/ EVA6000, however you might also see up to 8 paths with EVA8000. 1. Enter the cfgadm command to verify the paths to the LUNs (note that you need to have congured LUNs on the array for the host in order to see the disk lines):
Example: # cfgadm -al -o Ap_Id c2 c2::50001fe1002709f8,0 c2::50001fe1002709f8,1 c2::50001fe1002709f8,2 c2::50001fe1002709fc,0 c2::50001fe1002709fc,1 c2::50001fe1002709fc,2 c3 c3::50001fe1002709f9,0 c3::50001fe1002709f9,1 c3::50001fe1002709f9,2 c3::50001fe1002709fd,0 c3::50001fe1002709fd,1 c3::50001fe1002709fd,2 show_FCP_dev Type fc-fabric array-ctrl disk disk array-ctrl disk disk c-fabric array-ctrl disk disk array-ctrl disk disk Receptacle connected connected connected connected connected connected connected connected connected connected connected connected connected connected Occupant unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured unconfigured Condition unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown
With Solaris 8 or 9, the Occupant status will be displayed as above in a SAN environment. With Solaris 10 (SPARC and x86), you will see a configured status. 2. For Solaris 8 and 9, use cfgadm -c configure c# command to congure the host to access the storage system as shown in the example below. The value of # is gathered from the output of the cfgadm -al previously executed. Example: # cfgadm -c configure c2 # cfgadm -c configure c3 3. Execute the cfgadm command to view congured devices. After the conguration, the following command will show the array controllers as congured:
# cfgadm -al Ap_Id c0 c0::dsk/c0t0d0 c0::dsk/c0t6d0 c1 c2 c2::50001fe1002709f8 c2::50001fe1002709fc c3 c3::50001fe1002709f9 c3::50001fe1002709fd Type scsi-bus disk CD-ROM scsi-bus fc-fabric array-ctrl array-ctrl fc-fabric array-ctrl array-ctrl Receptacle connected connected connected connected connected connected connected connected connected connected Occupant configured configured configured unconfigured configured configured configured configured configured configured Condition unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown unknown

NOTE: Using the option o show_FCP_dev could result in the output of the cfgadm command to display the Type array-ctrl as uncongured. This is not a problem. (See example below).
# cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev Ap_Id Type c2 fc-fabric c2::50001fe1002709f8,0 array-ctrl c2::50001fe1002709f8,1 disk c2::50001fe1002709f8,2 disk.

Enabling MPxIO

To enable MPxIO for HP storage devices, the appropriate information for device-type-scsioptions-list need to be added in the /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf le. 1. Use a text editor to change the conguration le. For example: # vi /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf 2. For Solaris 8 and 9 perform the following steps: a. Change the mpxio-disable parameter to the following: mpxio-disable="no"; b. Verify that the load-balance and auto-failback parameters are set to the following values (the default setting may vary depending on the patch level / OS version): load-balance="none"; auto-failback="disable"; c. Add the following lines to cover all HP arrays:
device-type-scsi-options-list = "HP HSV101", "symmetric-option", "COMPAQ HSV111", "symmetric-option", "HP HSV2", "symmetric-option", "HP OPEN", "symmetric-option"; symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
NOTE: Enter six spaces after HP and two spaces after COMPAQ. 3. For Solaris 10 (patch 1 18833-24 for SPARC, patch 1 18855-19 for x86), the scsi_vhci driver is capable of detecting Asymmetric Logical Unit Access (ALUA) compliant devices advertised in the Target Port Group Support (TPGS) eld. The EVA 4000/6000/8000 and the EVA 3000/5000 V4 are ALUA compliant arrays. Add the following lines to cover all HP arrays:
device-type-scsi-options-list = "HP OPEN", "symmetric-option"; symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
NOTE: Enter six spaces after HP. 4. Depending on the Solaris version, select one of the following options: a. For Solaris 8 or 9run a reconguration reboot in order to activate the changes: # reboot -- -r b. For Solaris 10 (SPARC)run the stmsboot command and conrm the reboot: # stmsboot e c. For Solaris 10 (x86)reboot the system to load the new denition if you are conguring for XP. Conguring for EVA does not require a reboot since denition has already been congured.
Verify the MPxIO conguration
After the system has rebooted, use the format or luxadm command to verify that the MPxIO enablement has been successful. NOTE: In the format or luxadm output, controllers c2 and c3 no longer show up. A single, virtual controller path such as c4 now displays the MPxIOcongured LUNs. The cfgadm output does NOT change after the MPxIO enablement. 1. Verify with either format or luxadm probe that only one device le is shown for each LUN:

2. Check the different paths with the luxadm display command (either for a given disk or for the array WWN or a port WWN): a. For Solaris 8 and 9:

b. For Solaris 10 (SPARC and x86), the following is displayed: NOTE: The Class of the device shows primary through one controller and shows secondary through the other controller. This is because the array is now congured as an Asymmetric Active/Active (A/A/A) array, and the array controller that indicates the primary path owns the LUN.
