Page 47: Storage Management Overview
4 Storage management overview This chapter provides an overview of some of the components that make up the storage structure of the storage system. Storage management elements Storage is divided into four major divisions: • Physical storage elements • Logical storage elements •... -
Page 48: Physical Storage Elements
Figure 15 Storage management process example Physical storage elements The lowest level of storage management occurs at the physical drive level. Minimally, choosing the best disk carving strategy includes the following policies: • Analyze current corporate and departmental structure. • Analyze the current file server structure and environment. -
Page 49: Arrays
• Include the appropriate number of physical drives in the arrays to create logical storage elements of desired sizes. Arrays Figure 16. With an array controller installed in the system, the capacity of several physical drives (P1–P3) can be logically combined into one or more logical units (L1) called arrays. When this is done, the read/write heads of all the constituent physical drives are active simultaneously, dramatically reducing the overall time required for data transfer. -
Page 50: Fault Tolerance
Fault tolerance Drive failure, although rare, is potentially catastrophic. For example, using simple striping as shown Figure 17, failure of any hard drive leads to failure of all logical drives in the same array, and hence to data loss. To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, storage systems should be configured with fault tolerance. -
Page 51: Partitions
It is important to note that a LUN may span all physical drives within a storage controller subsystem, but cannot span multiple storage controller subsystems. Figure 18 Two arrays (A1, A2) and five logical drives (L1 through L5) spread over five physical drives NOTE: This type of configuration may not apply to all storage systems and serves only as an example. -
Page 52: File System Elements
dynamic disks is unavailable. There could be a potential for data loss depending on the nature of the failed LUN. Volumes are created out of the dynamic disks, and can be expanded on the fly to extend over multiple dynamic disks if they are spanned volumes. However, after a type of volume is selected, it cannot be altered. -
Page 53: Using Storage Elements
Shadow copies should not replace the current backup, archive, or business recovery system, but they can help to simplify restore procedures. For example, shadow copies cannot protect against data loss due to media failures; however, recovering data from shadow copies can reduce the number of times needed to restore data from tape. -
Page 54: Management Agents
For additional information, refer to the Management CD in the HP ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack or the HP SIM website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim). Management Agents Management Agents provide the information to enable fault, performance, and configuration management. The agents allow easy manageability of the server through HP SIM software, and thirdparty SNMP management platforms. -
Page 55: File Server Management
5 File server management This chapter begins by identifying file services in Windows Storage Server 2008. The remainder of the chapter describes the many tasks and utilities that play a role in file server management. File services features in Windows Storage Server 2008 Storage Manager for SANs The Storage Manager for SANs (also called Simple SAN) snap-in enables you to create and manage the LUNs that are used to allocate space on storage arrays. -
Page 56: File Services Management
File services management Information about the storage system in a SAN environment is provided in the HP StorageWorks SAN Manuals page located on the HP web site at www.hp.com/go/SDGManuals. Configuring data storage HP StorageWorks X1000 and X3000 Network Storage Systems are configured only for the operating system. -
Page 57: Array Management Utilities
Array management utilities Storage devices for RAID arrays and LUNs are created and managed using the array management utilities mentioned previously. For HP Smart Arrays use the ACU. NOTE: The ACU is used to configure and manage array-based storage. Software RAID-based storage systems use Microsoft Disk Manager to manage storage. -
Page 58: Disk Management Utility
• Extending and expanding arrays and logical drives is supported. The HP Array Configuration Utility User Guide is available for download at http://www.hp.com/ support/manuals. Disk Management utility The Disk Management tool is a system utility for managing hard disks and the volumes, or partitions, that they contain. -
Page 59: Scheduling Defragmentation
Scheduling defragmentation Defragmentation is the process of analyzing local volumes and consolidating fragmented files and folders so that each occupies a single, contiguous space on the volume. This improves file system performance. Because defragmentation consolidates files and folders, it also consolidates the free space on a volume. -
Page 60: Adding Storage
per-user basis. It is also possible to specify whether or not to log an event when users exceed either their quota warning level or their quota limit. When enabling disk quotas for a volume, volume usage is automatically tracked from that point forward, but existing volume users have no disk quotas applied to them. -
Page 61: Extending Storage Using Windows Storage Utilities
Extending storage using Windows Storage Utilities Volume extension grows the storage space of a logical drive. During this process, the administrator adds new storage space to an existing logical drive on the same array, usually after the array has been expanded. An administrator may have gained this new storage space by either expansion or by deleting another logical drive on the same array. -
Page 62: Volume Shadow Copies
Expand logical drive This option in the ACU increases the storage capacity of a logical drive by adding unused space on an array to the logical drive on the same array. The unused space is obtained either by expanding an array or by deleting another logical drive on the same array. For more information, use the ACU online help, or the “Extend logical drive”... -
Page 63: Identifying The Volume
• How frequently will shadow copies be made? Identifying the volume Shadow copies are taken for a complete volume, but not for a specific directory. Shadow copies work best when the server stores user files, such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, or database files. -
Page 64: Identifying The Storage Area
NOTE: Regardless of the volume space that is allocated for shadow copies, there is a maximum of 64 shadow copies for any volume. When the 65th shadow copy is taken, the oldest shadow copy is purged. The minimum amount of storage space that can be specified is 350 megabytes (MB). The default storage size is 10 percent of the source volume (the volume being copied). -
Page 65: Shadow Copies And Drive Defragmentation
Shadow copies and drive defragmentation When running Disk Defragmenter on a volume with shadow copies activated, all or some of the shadow copies may be lost, starting with the oldest shadow copies. If defragmenting volumes on which shadow copies are enabled, use a cluster (or allocation unit) size of 16 KB or larger. -
Page 66: The Shadow Copy Cache File
Figure 19 System administrator view of Shadow Copies for Shared Folders The shadow copy cache file The default shadow copy settings allocate 10 percent of the source volume being copied (with a minimum of 350 MB), and store the shadow copies on the same volume as the original volume. (See Figure 20). -
Page 67: Enabling And Creating Shadow Copies
Figure 21 Shadow copies stored on a separate volume The main advantage to storing shadow copies on a separate volume is ease of management and performance. Shadow copies on a source volume must be continually monitored and can consume space designated for file sharing. Setting the limit too high takes up valuable storage space. Setting the limit too low can cause shadow copies to be purged too soon, or not created at all. -
Page 68: Viewing A List Of Shadow Copies
NOTE: After the first shadow copy is created, it cannot be relocated. Relocate the cache file by altering the cache file location under Properties prior to enabling shadow copy. See “Viewing shadow copy properties” on page 68. Viewing a list of shadow copies To view a list of shadow copies on a volume: Access Disk Management. -
Page 69: Redirecting Shadow Copies To An Alternate Volume
CAUTION: Use caution when reducing the size limit for all shadow copies. When the size is set to less than the total size currently used for all shadow copies, enough shadow copies are deleted to reduce the total size to the new limit. A shadow copy cannot be recovered after it has been deleted. Redirecting shadow copies to an alternate volume IMPORTANT: Shadow copies must be initially disabled on the volume before redirecting to an alternate volume. -
Page 70: Managing Shadow Copies From The Storage System Desktop
Managing shadow copies from the storage system desktop To access shadow copies from the storage system desktop: The storage system desktop can be accessed by using Remote Desktop to manage shadow copies. On the storage system desktop, double-click My Computer. Right-click the volume name, and select Properties. -
Page 71: Smb Shadow Copies
NOTE: Shadow Copies for Shared Folders clients are not available for HTTP, FTP, AppleTalk, or NetWare shares. Consequently, users of these protocols cannot use Shadow Copies for Shared Folders to independently retrieve previous versions of their files. However, administrators can take advantage of Shadow Copies for Shared Folders to restore files for these users. -
Page 72: Nfs Shadow Copies
Figure 23 Client GUI When users view a network folder hosted on the storage system for which shadow copies are enabled, old versions (prior to the snapshot) of a file or directory are available. Viewing the properties of the file or folder presents users with the folder or file history—a list of read-only, point-in-time copies of the file or folder contents that users can then open and explore like any other file or folder. -
Page 73: Recovery Of Files Or Folders
.@GMT-2003.04.29-04:00:00 Access to NFS shadow copy pseudo-subdirectories is governed by normal access-control mechanisms using the permissions stored in the file system. Users can access only those shadow copies to which they have read access at the time the shadow copy is taken. To prevent users from modifying shadow copies, all pseudo-subdirectories are marked read-only, regardless of the user's ownership or access rights, or the permissions set on the original files. -
Page 74: Recovering An Overwritten Or Corrupted File
Figure 24 Recovering a deleted file or folder Recovering an overwritten or corrupted file Recovering an overwritten or corrupted file is easier than recovering a deleted file because the file itself can be right-clicked instead of the folder. To recover an overwritten or corrupted file: Right-click the overwritten or corrupted file, and then click Properties. -
Page 75: Backup And Shadow Copies
Backup and shadow copies Shadow copies are only available on the network via the client application, and only at a file or folder level as opposed to the entire volume. Hence, the standard backup associated with a volume backup will not work to back up the previous versions of the file system. To answer this particular issue, shadow copies are available for backup in two situations. -
Page 76: Folder Management
NOTE: Select servers can be deployed in a clustered or non-clustered configuration. This section discusses share setup for a non-clustered deployment. Folder management Volumes and folders on any system are used to organize data. Regardless of system size, systematic structuring and naming conventions of volumes and folders eases the administrative burden. Moving from volumes to folders to shares increases the level of granularity of the types of data stored in the unit and the level of security access allowed. -

To take ownership: Click the appropriate user or group in the Change owner to list. If it is also necessary to take ownership of subfolders and files, enable the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects box. -
Page 83: Defining Access Control Lists
The content of shares should be carefully chosen to avoid two common pitfalls: either having too many shares of a very specific nature, or of having very few shares of a generic nature. For example, shares for general use are easier to set up in the beginning, but can cause problems later. Frequently, a better approach is to create separate shares with a specific purpose or group of users in mind. -
Page 84: Managing Shares
• Standard shares are shares that do not end in a $ character. Standard shares are listed whenever a CIFS client browses for available shares on a CIFS server. The storage system supports both administrative and standard CIFS shares. To create an administrative share, end the share name with the $ character when setting up the share. -
Page 85: File Screening Management

Page 87: Cluster Administration
6 Cluster administration HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage Systems support clustering; HP StorageWorks X1000 Network Storage Systems do not. One important feature of HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage System models is that they can operate as a single node or as a cluster. This chapter discusses cluster installation and cluster management issues. -
Page 88: Cluster Terms And Components
Figure 32 Storage system cluster diagram Cluster terms and components Nodes The most basic parts of a cluster are the servers, referred to as nodes. A server node is any individual server in a cluster, or a member of the cluster. Resources Hardware and software components that are managed by the cluster service are called cluster resources. -
Page 89: Cluster Groups
• CIFS file share resources • NFS file share resources • FTP file share resources • iSCSI resources Cluster groups Cluster resources are placed together in cluster groups. Groups are the basic unit of failover between nodes. Resources do not fail over individually; they fail over with the group in which they are contained. Virtual servers A virtual server is a cluster group that consists of a static IP Address resource and a Network Name resource. -
Page 90: Cluster Concepts
• Storing the most current version of the cluster database • Guaranteeing that only one set of active communicating nodes is allowed to operate as a cluster Cluster concepts Figure 33 illustrates a typical cluster configuration with the corresponding storage elements. The diagram progresses from the physical disks to the file shares, showing the relationship between both the cluster elements and the physical devices underlying them. -
Page 91: Hierarchy Of Cluster Resource Components
Physical Disk resources are created for each basic disk inside Cluster Administrator. Directories and folders are created on assigned drives. Cluster components (virtual servers, file shares) are created, organized in groups, and placed within the folders using Cluster Administrator exclusively. Hierarchy of cluster resource components Figure 33 depicts the cluster resource hierarchy as follows:... -
Page 92: Storage Planning
• Storage planning • Network planning • Protocol planning Storage planning For clustering, a basic disk must be designated for the cluster and configured as the Quorum disk. Additional basic disks are presented to each cluster node for data storage as physical disk resources. The physical disk resources are required for the basic disks to successfully work in a cluster environment, protecting it from simultaneous access from each node. -

• The private cluster interconnect or “heartbeat” crossover cable connects to one of the network ports on each cluster node. In more than two node deployments, a private VLAN on a switch or hub is required for the cluster interconnect. •... -
Page 94: Preparing For Cluster Installation
NOTE: AppleTalk is not supported on clustered disk resources. AppleTalk requires local memory for volume indexing. On failover events, the memory map is lost and data corruption can occur. Preparing for cluster installation This section provides the steps necessary to cluster HP StorageWorks X3000 Network Storage Systems. Before beginning installation Confirm that the following specifications have been met before proceeding: •... -
Page 95: Shared Disk Requirements
Shared disk requirements NOTE: Do not allow more than one node access the shared storage devices at the same time until Cluster service is installed on at least one node and that node is online. This can be accomplished through selective storage presentation, SAN zoning, or having only one node online at all times. -
Page 96: Setting Up Networks
Setting up networks Verify that all network connections are correct, with private network adapters connected to other private network adapters only, and public network adapters connected to the public network. Configuring the private network adapter The following procedures are best practices provided by Microsoft and should be configured on the private network adapter. -
Page 97: Configuring Shared Disks
• Dedicate a separate disk resource for a Quorum disk. Because the failure of the Quorum disk would cause the entire cluster to fail, HP strongly recommends that the disk resource be a RAID 1 configuration. • Create a partition with a minimum of 50 megabytes (MB) to be used as a Quorum disk. HP recom- mends a Quorum disk be 500 MB. -

• Use of DHCP addresses for network connections. All Network adapters must be configured with static IP addresses in a cluster configuration. • File Services for Macintosh and Service for NetWare are not supported in a cluster configuration. • Dynamic Disks are not supported in a cluster configuration. •... -
Page 99: Node-Based Cluster Groups
When creating groups, the administrator's first priority is to gain an understanding of how to manage the groups and their resources. Administrators may choose to create a resource group and a virtual server for each node that will contain all resources owned by that node, or the administrator may choose to create a resource group and virtual server for each physical disk resource. -
Page 100: Permissions And Access Rights On Share Resources
For NFS environments, configure the NFS server. NFS specific procedures include entering audit and file lock information as well as setting up client groups and user name mappings. These procedures are not unique to a clustered deployment and are detailed in the Microsoft Services for NFS section within the “Other network file and print services”... -
Page 101: Non Cluster Aware File Sharing Protocols
Example: If the password and group files are located at c:\maps on node 1, then they must also be at c:\maps on node 2. The contents of the password and group files must be the same on both nodes as well. These password and group files on each server node must be updated periodically to maintain consistency and prevent users or groups from being inadvertently squashed. -
Page 102: Creating Nfs Share Resources
NOTE: • A file share resource must reside in the same cluster group as the physical disk resource it will reside on. • The physical disk resource specified in this step must reside in the same cluster group as specified in the beginning of this wizard. -

Click create a new port, and then click Next. Enter the IP address of the network printer. Update the Port Name if desired, click Next, and then click Finish. -
Page 105: Restarting One Cluster Node
Restarting one cluster node CAUTION: Restarting a cluster node should be done only after confirming that the other node(s) in the cluster are functioning normally. Adequate warning should be given to users connected to resources of the node being restarted. Attached connections can be viewed through Server Manager on the storage system Desktop using Terminal Services. -
Page 106: Powering Up The Cluster
Powering up the cluster The power up process for the storage system cluster is more complex than it is for a single node because extra care must be taken with the storage subsystem. The sequence of the power up steps is critical. Improper power up procedures can cause corruption and loss of data. -
