4 HP LeftHand SAN Appliance internal redundancy A HP LeftHand SAN Appliance provide internal redundancy for certain components. Redundant fans, Redundant power supplies, Redundant NICs Hardware RAID for disks Hardware RAID for disks can be selected during initial setup of a node and cannot be changed once the node is added to a cluster Available Hardware RAID levels RAID 5 8 Disk model: Disk model: 2 sets 5+1 RAID 6 8 Disk model: Disk model: 2 sets 4+2 RAID 10 8 Disk model: 4 drives striped and mirrored to 4 drives 12 Disk model: 6 drives striped and mirrored to 6 drives 4

(Gartner,2007) Human error and firmware bugs are the weakest links, even in properly deployed SANs. (Gartner, 2007) 9

17 iscsi SAN networking best practices Set up a separate network for your SAN Subnet or VLAN Multiple subnets are supported for multi-site environments Switches Any 1GbE switch is supported NIC bonding ALB (recommended) (slightly better on writes, but requires switch) LeftHand Networking Best Practices Guide 17
18 iscsi terminology iscsi login: The process of establishing an iscsi session between an initiator and a target iscsi session Establishes the initial path for IP communications and non-persistent meta data about the connection An initiator opens one session per volume Cluster Virtual IP (VIP) Each cluster has a unique virtual IP address iscsi initiator connects to the Virtual IP of the LeftHand cluster (iscsi login) During iscsi session login, iscsi target redirects initiator to a physical node IP based to establish the actual iscsi session VIP is hosted by a given node, but will failover to another in case of a node problem For multi-subnet clusters (see later chapter) a cluster has one VIP per subnet Node IP: The physical IP Address of a cluster node Multi-path I/O (MPIO): The ability to use multiple network paths to the same target Device Specific Module (DSM): A vendor-specific module for multi-path I/O 18
19 virtual IP: standard session load balancing Server 1 writes to D (located at node 4) D iscsi initiator connects to VIP of cluster A LeftHand redirects initiator to physical node (based on least #connections per node) B C D HP LeftHand Storage Cluster Cluster VIP Vendors offering VIPLB.

27 Starting the live demonstration 27
28 LeftHand SAN components in the CMC Available storage nodes Nodes which are powered on but not in a Management Group Management Groups - Are groups of storage nodes within which one or more modules are designated as Managers. Everything having to do with LeftHand storage is contained within the management group Clusters - Clusters are sub-groupings of nodes within a management group. However a cluster can be as small as a single Storage Module Volumes - Volumes are data storage areas created on clusters. Snapshots - Snapshots are read-only copies of volumes created at specific points in time. 28
29 Virtual Connection Manager Helps manage the complexity of SAN connection proliferation Streamlines mapping servers to volumes Embedded storage virtualization allows for a single step mapping process Simplifies navigation of storage environments Start with servers, find volumes Start with volumes, find servers Servers added to the GUI One step server-volume mapping 29
30 SmartClone User Interfaces 30
31 HP LeftHand - Advanced API/CLI Enables integration and automation of storage tasks Simplifies management and reduces costs by enabling integration and automation of management tasks Provision virtual machines from a single interface Integrate and automate backup Manage and report on capacity Collect data, monitor, analyze trends Integrate with Virtual Desktop Manager, Virtual Machine Manager, XenCenter Full coverage of LeftHand feature set available Based on SMI-S management standard Included for Partners and Customers at no additional cost 31
32 HA with Managers 2008 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice
33 What is a Manager? A Manager is a process that runs on one or more storage nodes. It controls the following tasks for the entire Management Group Data replication Keeps track of system status Coordinates reconfigurations as nodes are brought up and taken offline Re-synchronize data when a module fails and recovers Provide majority/quorum decision in case of node failure/split A manager is associated with a management group NOT a cluster. There can be less managers than nodes in a management group Typically not more than 5 managers even for large group of nodes Manager Identification 33
34 Quorum of Managers You must maintain a QUORUM of managers - they control data flow between modules in the Management Group Typical configurations Number of managers Number for a quorum Fault tolerance 1 1 None 2 2 None 3 2 Medium 4 3 Medium 5 3 High A QUORUM by definition is half plus one so the best number of managers to maintain are odd numbers (aka majority) If QUORUM is lost You lose access to your data Until quorum is regained You do not lose any data XM XM M Cluster: 34 Question: What about a 2 site setup? Can I lose one complete site? Answer: Yes, see next slide!
35 F ailover Manager Failover Manager For multi-site SANs or two-node environments Designed to break the tie if a site fails and provide automated fail over An instance of HP LeftHand SAN software optimized to run the manager only Runs in a ESX Virtual machine (like VSA) Recommended configuration Run at a third site if not possible run at primary site with most important applications M M F Site C Site A 2 managers + 1 failover manager = Quorum Cluster will stay online M M Site B Cluster: 35
36 V irtual Manager Virtual Manager An additional manager used only to regain quorum Must be added to the Management Group prior to the loss of quorum. Remains unassigned until it is needed to regain quorum Started manually on one node by user User starts Virtual Manager on one of the nodes Typical situations A management group in a single location with two storage nodes A management group across two sites AND no failover manager set up or Failover Manager lost OR any other situation where quorum is lost M V M Site A 2 managers + 1 virtual manager = Quorum Cluster will start again M V M Site B Cluster: 36
