Key Features and Benefits
HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array is ideal for enterprise customers requiring the highest level of scalability, availability, disaster recovery, business continuity solutions, and guaranteed uptime service levels. The level of service provided by the XP12000 could be compared to the level of service from HP NonStop severs or high-end Superdome servers. The XP12000 is an excellent solution for customers with applications that cannot afford any downtime -- where business demands this level of service. The XP12000 also supports the largest number of operating systems and offers very robust solutions. Plus you can manage up to 454 TB in one box with one interface that controls it all. The XP12000 provides always-on reliability with no single-point-of-failure and redundant hotReliability swappable components, including: disk drives, fans, processors, I/O interfaces, power supplies, batteries and control processors. This redundancy is further enhanced by the inherent RAID technology, which includes RAID 6 (6D+2P) that allows up to two disk drives of eight to fail and still maintain data availability. The XP12000 is also connected to HP's "Storage Technology Center" and is constantly being monitored by HP for any potential issues, so they can be proactively addressed before they can cause a problem. Continuous availability is a vital requirement for most companies today. The costs associated with system Availability downtime are skyrocketing. The XP12000 enables 247 operation in several ways: RAID technology and redundant data paths ensure that there is no single point-of-failure, virtually eliminating the likelihood of unplanned shutdown. If one of the two data paths fails, the other path takes over automatically. HP's "Storage Technology Center" is alerted to any problem, and that problem is quickly fixed with a minimum of stress while all data remains accessible. The XP12000 offer a painless growth path; it can be upgraded without ever taking the system down, so you can add capacity as required without disrupting business operations. In addition, HP's management software makes it easy to manage several additional arrays from a single console, so your storage capacity can grow without increasing demands on administrative staff. Integration with Business Copy XP and Continuous Access XP data replication software; as well as Cluster Extension XP and many 3rd party clustering software utilities enable continuous operation over multiple sites to protect against a local disaster. In case you need to restore data after a physical disaster, data-mirroring techniques of HP's Business Copy XP and Continuous Access XP software with full integration within HP OpenView Data Protector backup management software ensures that you can rapidly restore your data and return to normal operation quickly and efficiently. Nickel-Hydride batteries maintain system power for up to one minute during power outages allowing for uninterrupted service. If the power outage is longer than one minute, data is destaged to disk or battery protected in Cache and Shared Memory for at least 48 hours. The XP12000 allows you to start with the configuration you need today and scale to the highest usable capacity of any disk array as your needs grow. Scales from 9 disk drives to 1152 disk drives and to over 454 TB of raw storage capacity inside a single array. This scalability permits organizations to accommodate constant growing storage needs without ever having to upgrade the box. Online upgrades allow for no interruptions to applications and never require a full-box/forklift upgrade 1152 disk drives with 128 drives in the center DKC cabinet and up to 256 drives in each DKU cabinet (4 DKU's max) Over 454 TB of internal capacity, 32 PB of external capacity, 256 GB of Cache, and 12 GB of Shared Memory

Consolidation

Performance

For a complete/up-to-date list of supported arrays and accompanying firmware versions, please contact your HP representative. Consolidating storage onto the XP12000 allows companies to dramatically reduce the high maintenance of managing proliferated storage. Costs of hardware maintenance decrease by managing only one piece of equipment, not many, and by retiring aging equipment. Management costs, which can be 3 to 4 times the cost of hardware, can be reduced allowing one powerful point of management. And with increased asset utilization and efficiency through management of low-cost external tiered storage (such as an MSA connected as External Storage behind an XP), companies can buy less storage. The XP12000 offers industry-leading performance at high capacity points through which customers can achieve outstanding levels of random I/O support for database, OLTP, data warehousing and other I/O intensive applications. The performance of the XP12000 surpasses the XP1024 by 2 to 4 times, as shown in the Family Information table found later in this document. Max Sequential Performance = 9.9 GB/s Max Random Performance Cache = 2,500,000 IOPS Max Random Performance Disk = 120,000 IOPS Max Data Bandwidth = 68 GB/s Max Control Bandwidth 13 GB/s A wide variety of servers and operating systems can be connected to an XP disk array HP-UX HP-UX Windows LINUX - IA2, Red Hat HP OpenVMS HP NonStop Mainframe HP Tru64 UNIX IBM AIX Sun Solaris Dynix PTX, NCR The XP12000 can be connected through all popular host interconnections Fibre Channel FICON ESCON iSCSI The HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array is designed with no single point of component failure. It has full component and function redundancy, providing full fault tolerance for disk array processors, shared memory, cache, control and data connections, power supplies, cooling fans, and batteries. The XP has redundant power supplies with multiple connections to AC power from different sources, using singlephase or three-phase in 50 or 60 Hz. Multiple arrays and hundreds of terabytes can be managed from a single web-based management station - by existing staff.

XP12000 Hardware

The XP12000 hardware consists of a Disk Control Frame (DKC) that will hold up to 128 disks, and one to four optional Disk Array Frames (DKUs) for the remaining disks. The DKC contains the control panel, service processor (SVP), Cache modules, Shared Memory modules, crossbar switch, batteries for Cache, and Shared Memory backup, Client-Host Interface Processors (CHIPs), and Array Control Processors (ACPs). The DKUs hold the majority of the disk drives and can hold up to 256 physical disks each. The XP12000 can be used with only the controller cabinet. Up to four disk cabinets can be added to each XP12000.

XP12000 Software

A full complement of software tools are available for XP12000 Disk Array management, management integration, and to enable a wide range of High Availability solutions. Please see the HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Software Products QuickSpecs for further information: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12066_div/12066_div.html (Worldwide) http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12066_na/12066_na.html (North America)

Server connectivity
The XP12000 connects to a variety of servers and operating systems. For details on which servers and operating systems are currently supported, please contact your resellers and your HP technical support to review the supported server and operating system information.
Client Host Interface Processors (CHIPs)
Client Host Interface Processors (CHIPs) provide connections to host or servers that use the XP12000 for data storage (either directly connected to the servers or through SAN switches). The primary function of a CHIP is to process host commands and signal the ACPs to read or write Cache to or from the disk drives. In addition, CHIPs access and update the cache track directory, monitor data access patterns, and emulate host device types. The CHIPs are configured in pairs for redundancy. The XP12000 can have up to seven pairs of CHIPs.* CHIP pairs available for use in the XP12000 include: 8, 16, and 32 port 2 Gbps auto sensing short-wave and long-wave Fibre Channel** 8, 16, and 32 port 4 Gbps auto sensing short-wave and long-wave Fibre Channel** 16 port ExSA Channel (ESCON compatible) 8 port 2 Gbps auto-sensing FICON in both short-and long-wave versions 16 port 2 Gbps auto-sensing FICON in both short-and long-wave versions 16 port 4 Gbps auto-sensing FICON in both short-and long-wave versions 8 port Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI CHIP pair *NOTE: Each CHIP pair over 4 that is installed reduces the maximum number of ACP pairs by 1. NOTE: **NOTE: The standard optical transceiver (small form-factor pluggable [SFP]) on the Fibre Channel NOTE: CHIPs is short-wave. Long-wave SFP transceivers can be ordered individually. A single Fibre Channel port can be quickly converted from short-wave to long-wave by swapping a short-wave SFP transceiver for a long-wave SFP transceiver. Both 2Gbps and 4Gbps long-wave transceivers are available.

Array Control Processor (ACP)
The Array Control Processor (ACP) performs all data movement between the disks and Cache Memory. The ACP also provides data protection through the use of RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6. Each ACP has eight 2 Gbps FC-AL loops or 16 loops total per pair, and supports up to 48 disk drives per loop. The ACP is configured in pairs for redundancy. The XP12000 can have one, two, three, or four pairs of ACPs.

Page 6

Cache Memory
The XP12000 supports up to 256 GB of Cache. Cache Memory is used to temporarily store data from the host until it is written to disk, or to stage data requested by the host from the disk. The XP12000 Cache Memory modules are installed on Cache Platform Boards: The basic Cache Platform Board pair supports up to 16 sets of Cache modules (up to 128 GB). The optional Additional Cache Board Pair supports up to 16 additional sets of Cache modules (up to an additional 128 GB). The Cache is configured as two sets of memories, onto which data that is to be written on the disk is mirrored, so the data will not be lost even if a Cache failure occurs. XP Cache can also be allocated to particular host/port combinations to ensure that those hosts/ports enjoy optimized performance of Cache-oriented I/O. These cache partitions are assigned to specified disk array groups. Up to 32 partitions of at least 4GB can be created in an XP12000. Assigning cache in this way provides another method for tuning performance for data access for performance critical applications. Cache can be partitioned separate from storage partitions.

Shared Memory

Shared Memory of up to 12 GB is independent of the Cache Memory and is used to store tables, side files, and other information, thus freeing up the Cache Memory for user data. Shared Memory is also used to store system configuration information. The configuration information includes system components mapping, LUN maps, Cache pointers, and RAID levels. All Shared Memory is backed up by a fully redundant 48 hour battery.

Switch support details

The XP12000 connects to the leading Fibre Channel switches in the industry today. For detailed information on supported switch configurations, please contact your sales representative.

Disk Drive Support

The number and type of disk drives installed in an XP12000 array is flexible. Disk drives must be added in groups of four. Additional capacity can be installed over time as capacity needs grow. All disk drives use the industry standard dual ported 2 Gbps Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) interface, except for the 400 GB disk drive which is 4 Gbps. Each disk drive is connected to both of the redundant ACPs in a pair by separate Fibre Channel arbitrated loops. Spare drives are automatically used in the event of a disk drive failure.

FC Disk Drives

The XP12000 supports 73 GB, 146 GB, 300 GB, and 400 GB Fibre Channel disk drives. FC drives are designed for a high capacity/high performance storage option within the array and for high priority applications such as OLTP, Oracle, SAP, and Exchange workloads.

Batteries

The XP12000's power fail strategy provides for environmental-friendly Nickel-Hydride batteries, which continues array operations for up to one minute. When the duration of the power loss is longer than one minute, the XP12000 executes either the De-stage Mode and moves all data to disk, or the Backup Mode, protecting data in Cache and Shared Memory for at least 48 hours. The base DKC contains sufficient battery back-up for the first 16 sets of Cache modules. The Additional Cache Battery is required when more than 16 sets of Cache modules are installed.

This disk array is part of the HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array family of products, which provide reliable and secure data storage and protection. These disk arrays also support multiple operating systems, platforms, and RAID groups. Advantages include: Continuous data availability Nondisruptive service and upgrades Connectivity Scalability Data integrity and high availability
Continuous data availability
The HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP family includes the rst RAID disk arrays to provide truly continuous data availability. XP disk arrays are designed for nonstop operation and continuous access to all user data. The following features ensure continuous data availability: No single point of component failure, which enables uninterrupted access to data Component and function redundancy, providing full fault tolerance for disk array microprocessors, control storage, cache, control and data buses, power supplies, and cooling fans Can sustain multiple component failures and still continue to provide full access to stored data Note that although access to data is not compromised, the failure of a key component can cause a temporary reduction in disk array performance.
Nondisruptive service and upgrades
Without disrupting normal disk array operations (if alternate pathing is used), an HP support representative can: Remove, service, repair, or replace hardware subassemblies Use the built-in service processor (SVP) to upgrade microcode Alternate paths can be established using host failover software, alternate Fibre Channel paths, or both. CAUTION: The disk array has no user-serviceable components. The SVP does not include a keyboard or monitor and is not a customer-accessible component. Only an HP support representative should open the cabinets. HP StorageWorks Continuous Track XP monitoring software detects internal hardware component problems and automatically reports them to the HP Storage Technology Center (STC) before they are noticed by operators and users. An HP support representative can then verify the problem and perform the appropriate maintenance activity, with no interruption to applications or hosts. For more information on Continuous Track XP, see HP StorageWorks Continuous Track XP.

The disk array also supports various mainframe operating systems through ESCON and FICON host interconnections. For the latest information on supported operating systems and versions, contact your HP support representative or visit the HP web site: www.hp.com.

The HP StorageWorks XP series of disk arrays are high-performance RAID-capable disk array systems used to store large quantities of data in an efcient and secure manner. There are no single points of failure in the disk arrays. They include redundant logic assemblies, controllers, disk drives, and power supplies, all of which can be removed or replaced without interrupting access to data. CAUTION: Only your HP support representative can remove or replace hardware.

Physical components

The disk array includes the following major hardware components: One disk control frame (DKC) Zero to four disk array frames (DKUs) One service processor (SVP) To monitor and manage the array, a Device Manager server is also required. The following gure shows the disk array with the maximum of four DKUs. The DKC alone constitutes the minimum conguration.

Disk control frame

The DKC controls the disk array. It contains the control panel, connection hardware, power supplies, SVP, and control boards for the disk array. It also contains 9 to 128 disk drives.

Hardware

Control panel
Once the disk array is powered on and running normally, no user operations are required at the control panel, except when instructed by your HP support representative. The following gure shows the control panel location and layout. The accompanying table explains the control panel functions.

SUB-SYSTEM READY

Indicator

LED (Green)

Description
During normal operation, this LED should be on. ON: Input/output operation on the channel interface is enabled. OFF: The system is not accepting data. During normal operation, this LED should be off. ON: One or more of the following: The DC is under the voltage of the DKC part. The DC is over current. The temperature is abnormally high. An unrecoverable failure has occurred. If the disk array is set up to phone home to STC, your HP support representative is notied automatically. If the disk array is not set up to phone home, place a service call to HP to have the message evaluated to determine if any action is required. BLINKING: The DC is under the voltage of the DKU part. During normal operation, this LED should be off. ON: A service information message (SIM) has been issued from either storage cluster. If the disk array is set up to phone home to STC, your HP support representative is notied automatically. If the disk array is not set up to phone home, place a service call to HP to have the message evaluated to determine if any action is required. BLINKING: An SVP failure has occurred. The disk array will continue to operate normally. Place a service call to HP to ensure notication. SVP failures might not be reported automatically to STC. If a blocked path occurs between a host and a disk drive, this switch is used to unfence the fenced drive path and to release Write Inhibit.During normal operation, this switch should be in the upper position.Restarting the subsystem performs a soft reset to try to recover. If the system restart does not unblock the path, an HP support representative will be notied. Do not change the switch position unless directed to do so by HP service personnel.

RAID options

The disk array supports RAID1 (2D+2D or 4D+4D), RAID5 (3D+1P or 7D+1P), and RAID6 (6D+2P) array groups. RAID levels may be intermixed.

Backup batteries

In each frame (DKC and DKU), internal nickel-metal-hydride batteries provide backup power for the cache memory, shared memory, ACPs, CHIPs, and disk drives. If AC input power is lost, the backup batteries enable the disk array to continue normal operations for up to one minute. If power is not restored within one minute, the disk array executes either the De-Stage or Backup battery operation mode.
If power is restored during the de-staging process, the disk array continues with the data de-staging and power off processes. If power is restored during the battery backup period, the disk array either automatically restarts or must be restarted manually, depending on the setting of the AUTO PS-ON ENABLE/DISABLE switch on the control panel.
HP representatives will help you determine the best battery mode for your conguration, and will congure the selected mode during installation.

Disk array management

HP Remote Web Console (RWC) allows browser-based management of a single disk array. The optional HP Command View XP Advanced Edition software may be installed on an optional Device Manager server to enable additional management capabilities, including the ability to manage multiple arrays. Other HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array software may also be installed on this host; see HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array family of software products for information about optional HP software products. To protect your security, Remote Web Console and HP Command View XP Advanced Edition do not have access to user data stored on the disk array. You may use an existing host (such as your storage administrators PC) as the Device Manager server provided that it meets system requirements for the software you plan to deploy. The CV XP AE Device Manager server connects to the disk array(s) using an Ethernet LAN connection, as shown in the following gure.

HP Business Copy and the disk array now support enhanced HP Snapshot features. HP Snapshot is optional software that creates multiple, point-in-time, online, local copies without impacting primary production operation. The enhanced HP Snapshot features include support for snapshots on external storage, up to 128 snapshot pools per system, and restoring data from any previous generation. HP Snapshot may require additional shared memory.

HP StorageWorks Continuous Access Synchronous
HP Continuous Access Synchronous software allows you to make ongoing synchronous copies of array data to a remote array located many miles away from the source array.
HP StorageWorks Continuous Access Asynchronous
HP Continuous Access Asynchronous is similar to HP Continuous Access Synchronous, but operates in asynchronous mode. Transactions to be written to the secondary array are kept in cache memory on the local array in a side-le. This potentially increases performance in remote copying. Copy operations are sequence-stamped to ensure they are executed and sorted correctly at the remote disk array.
HP StorageWorks Continuous Access Journal
HP StorageWorks Continuous Access Journal is an asynchronous mirroring program similar to HP Continuous Access Asynchronous except that transactions to be written to the secondary array are kept in a disk-based journal le. This provides better performance for secondary systems that are not highly available or that may be subject to bandwidth contention from other applications. HP Continuous Access Journal supports cascading congurations, multiple target sites, external storage connections, up to 256 journal groups, online journal volume expansion, and several Open system and mainframe emulation modes.
HP StorageWorks RAID Manager XP
HP StorageWorks RAID Manager XP (RM) enables you to perform operations with HP StorageWorks Continuous Access and HP StorageWorks Business Copy XP (BC) by issuing commands from a host to the disk array. The RM software interfaces with the host system software and host high availability (HA) software, as well as with the BC and Continuous Access software on the disk array.

Glossary
ACP Array control processor. On some XP models, such as the XP12000, the ACP handles the passing of data between the cache and the physical drives. On other XP models, such as the XP10000, this function is handled by the disk adapter on the MIX board. Arbitrated loop. Arbitrated loop physical address. The ratio of allocated storage capacity versus total capacity as a percentage. Allocated storage refers to those LDEVs that have paths assigned to them. The allocated storage capacity is the sum of the storage of these LDEVs. Total capacity refers to the sum of the capacity of all LDEVs on the disk array. A group of 4 or 8 physical hard disk drives (HDDs) installed in an XP disk array and assigned a common RAID level. RAID1 array groups consist of 4 (2D+2D) or 8 HDDs (4D+4D). RAID5 array groups include a parity disk but also consist of 4 (3D+1P) or 8 HDDs (7D+1P). All RAID6 array groups are made up of 8 HDDs (6D+2P). Application System Engineer. The HP StorageWorks Business Copy XP software program, which enables you to maintain up to nine internal copies of logical volumes on the disk array. The HP StorageWorks Continuous Track XP software program, which detects internal hardware component problems on a disk array and automatically reports them to the HP STC. The HP StorageWorks Continuous Access program, which enables you to replicate data stored on a local disk array to a remote disk array. Very high speed memory that is used to speed I/O transaction time. All reads and writes to the XP array family are sent to the cache. The data is buffered there until the transfer to/from physical disks (with slower data throughput) is complete.

Continuous Access

The benet of cache memory is that it speeds I/O throughput to the application. The larger the cache size, the greater the amount of data buffering that can occur and the greater throughput to the applications. XP arrays support a range of cache memory. In the event of power loss, battery power holds up the contents of cache for up to 36 hours. CE channel adapter (CHA) Customer engineer. The channel adapter (CHA) provides the interface between the disk array and the external host system. Occasionally this term is used synonymously with the term channel host interface processor (CHIP). Synonymous with the term channel adapter (CHA).
channel host interface processor (CHIP) channel processor (CHP) command device

The processors located on the channel adapter (CHA). Synonymous with CHIP. A volume on the disk array that accepts Continuous Access or Business Copy control operations which are then executed by the disk array. To organize the storage space attached to the DKC, you can group similarly congured logical devices (LDEVs) with unique control unit images (CUs). CUs are numbered sequentially. The disk array supports a certain number of CUs, depending on the disk array model. Each CU can manage multiple LDEVs. Therefore, to uniquely identify a particular LDEV requires both the CU number and the LDEV number. Control unit. Custom volume size. CVS devices (OPEN-x CVS) are custom volumes congured using array management software to be smaller than normal xed-size OPEN system volumes. Synonymous with volume size customization (VSC). Synonymous with the term ACP. The array hardware that houses the disk array physical disks. The array hardware that houses the channel adapters and service processor (SVP).
