9900V series user interface information

9900 series documentation

The 9900 series documentation discusses the Service Processor (SVP) user interface to configure LDEVs, LUNs, and ports.

Note
All these actions take place after you connect your gateway to your 9900V Series storage subsystem.

For detailed information, see the SVP section of the Maintenance Manual for the 9900V storage subsystem, pages SVP02-670 to SVP2-880 and SVP03-260 to SVP03-330. Also see the Installation section of the Maintenance Manual, pages INSTA05-440 to INSTA05-950.

What to do to configure LDEVs

When you configure LDEVs, you can use any emulation type to create volumes that meet customer storage requirements. Network Appliance recommends that you create a root volume that is at least 72 GB because 72 GB is large enough to hold core and log files that might be generated.

Use the following tables if you are configuring LDEVs. The tables lists capacities for standard LDEV, LUSE, and CVS (for Vol0) sizes.

Parameter	OPEN-3	OPEN-8	OPEN-9	OPEN-E	OPEN-L
LU capacity	2.4 GB	7.3 GB	7.3 GB	14.5 GB	36.4 GB
Possible number of expanded LUs	2 - 36 LUs (including LDEVs in existing LUSE volumes)	2 - 36 LUs (including LDEVs in existing LUSE volumes)	2 - 36 LUs (including LDEVs in existing LUSE volumes)	2 - 36 LUs (including LDEVs in existing LUSE volumes)	2 - 36 LUs (including LDEVs in existing LUSE volumes)
Expanded LU capacity	4.8 GB - 88.6 GB	14.6 GB - 264.4 GB	14.7 GB - 265.8 GB	29.1 GB - 524.4 GB	72.9 GB - 1312.2 GB
Product name	OPEN-3*n (n = # of LUs in the expanded LU)	OPEN-8*n (n = # of LUs in the expanded LU)	OPEN-9*n (n = # of LUs in the expanded LU)	OPEN-E*n (n = # of LUs in the expanded LU)	OPEN-L*n (n = # of LUs in the expanded LU)

Setting up a LUSE device

You might have to set up LUSE devices. The following is an overview of setting up a LUSE device. For details about setting up LUSE devices, see INST05-880.

Step	Action
1	Select LU Size Expansion from the LUSE menu in the main window. Result The LU Expansion Define window appears.
2	Set each item for the LUSE device and click OK.
3	When Change Configuration appears, click Close.

Step

Action

Select LU Size Expansion from the LUSE menu in the main window.

Result

The LU Expansion Define window appears.

Set each item for the LUSE device and click OK.

When Change Configuration appears, click Close.

Configuring an LDEV

To configure an LDEV, complete the following steps.

Note
For details, see pages INST05-80 to INST05-310 and INST05-430 to INST05-650 of the Installation section of the Maintenance Manual for the 9900V storage subsystem. For your convenience, steps contain page references to the Maintenance Manual, where applicable.

Step	Action
1	From the Install window of the SVP, select the Define Configuration and Install option (see page INST05-80).
2	Set the Control Unit (CU) number if one is not already set (see page INST05-130).
3	Define a parity group by selecting either RAID5 (3D + 1P) or RAID5 (7D + 1P) (see page INST05-150).
4	Select the drives from the pull-down list (see page INST05-150).
5	Select the emulation type that satisfies the customer storage requirements (see page INST05-160).
6	Define the LDEV ID (see page INST05-200).
7	Define the Subsystem ID (SSID) boundary (see page INST05-210).
8	Follow the steps to install the configuration (see page INST05-250 to 260).
9	Select Linear or Disperse mode (see page INST05-300). Note Linear mode keeps the LDEV within the same parity group.
10	Repeat Step 1 through Step 9 to configure additional LDEVs.

Setting the security switch

To set the security switch, complete the following steps. For details, see page INST05-650 of the 9900V Maintenance Manual.

Step	Action
1	In the Main window, at the CHA level, move down the tree in the left list to the CL1 or CL2 level. Note Ensure that Group is set on the Display.
2	Select the port whose security switch you want to set. Result Groups associated with the port appear in the upper right list. Details of a selected group appear in the lower right list.
3	Select Security Switch from the Port menu.
4	Select the On or Off box and click OK. Result The status of the security switch appears in the Main window.

Adding a group

To add a group, complete the following steps, using the figure for reference.

See page INST05-670 of the 9900V Maintenance Manual for details about the Main window and pages INST05-680 through 750 for details about other windows mentioned in the following procedure.

Step	Action
1	Select New from the Group menu in the Main window. Result The Add Group window appears.
2	Enter a group name and click Next. Result The Port Selection window appears.
3	Select a port from the list and click Next. Result The Host Mode window appears.
4	Select the standard setting (00) for the host mode and click OK.

Adding the gateway WWNs

To add the gateway WWNs, complete the following steps, using the figure for reference.

Step	Action
1	Select the group from the upper right list to which you want to add a WWN.
2	Select Add from the WWN menu in the Main menu. Result The Add WWN window appears.
3	Select the gateway WWNs from the list.
4	Click OK. Result The added WWNs are listed in the lower right list of the Main window.

Registering LUNs

To register LUNs, complete the following steps, using the figure for reference.

See page INST05-770 of the 9900V Maintenance Manual for details about the Main window and Add LUN window.

5	Click OK.

What you do to configure Fibre Channel ports

After selecting the Fibre Channel port you want to configure, you set the following port options from the LUN Management window on the SVP:

Port address
Fibre Channel topology
- Whether a fabric switch is used--Fabric ON or OFF
- Connection type--FC-AL or Point-to-Point
Host speed--1 GB/s, 2 GB/s, or Auto

See page INST05-840 of the 9900V Maintenance Manual for details.

Step	Action
1	Select a port from the upper right list in the Main window.
2	Select Parameter from the Port menu. Result The Port Parameter window appears.
3	Select a port address from the Fibre Address drop-down list. Network Appliance recommends that you select port address EF (loop 0). Note The following section lists port addresses and their associated loop IDs.
4	Select whether a fabric switch is used to connect the gateway to the storage. If a fabric switch is used, select `yes` from the Fabric drop-down list. If not, select `no`.
5	Select whether the connection type is Fibre Channel or point-to-point. If a fabric switch is used, select `P to P` from the Connection drop-down list. If the gateway is directly connected to the storage subsystem, that is, no fabric switch is used, select `FC-AL` from the Connection drop-down list.
6	Select `auto` from the Channel Speed drop-down list.
7	Click OK.
