Page 49: Beyond Initial Setup
Beyond Initial Setup This chapter describes the procedures required to configure the HP StorageWorks NAS b3000 v2 on a SAN and those steps necessary to establish a cluster. All documentation and tools are available online via the Web UI. Documentation is repeated here and in the HP StorageWorks NAS b3000 v2 Administration Guide. -
Page 50: Connecting To The San
Beyond Initial Setup Connecting to the SAN The b3000 V2 is designed to connect to either an MSA1000 based SAN or a Virtual Array based SAN. The SAN Connection Tool included in the HP Utilities tab of the Web UI provides all of the necessary steps for connecting to these two types of SANs. -
Page 51: Virtual Array Requirements
Beyond Initial Setup Virtual Array Requirements If connecting to a Virtual Array, the FCA2101 firmware must be flashed to 3.90a7 prior to running the SAN Connection tool. When connecting to a VA in conjunction with multipath fiber, AutoPath is required. AutoPath licensing is not included with the HP StorageWorks NAS device and must be purchased separately. -
Page 52: Cluster Installation
Beyond Initial Setup All software components listed in the SAN connection tool must be installed and the fiber cables attached to the HBA(s) before the cluster installation is started. All shared disks must be accessible from both nodes, but not at the same time. See the previous note. -

Configuring the Presented Power on the second node after Second Node the first node was successfully configured. -
Page 54: Configure The Public Network Adapter
Beyond Initial Setup This will prevent configuring the adapter during Cluster service installation. However, after Cluster service is installed on both nodes and both nodes are powered on, the adapter can be added as a cluster resource and configured properly for the private network in Cluster Administrator. Configure the Public Network Adapter While the public network adapter’s IP address can be automatically obtained if a DHCP server is available, this is not recommended for cluster nodes. -

Page 58: Configuring Cluster Disks
Beyond Initial Setup Configuring Cluster Disks Note: By default, all SCSI disks not residing on the same bus as the system disk will appear in the Managed Disks list. Therefore, if the node has multiple SCSI buses, some disks may be listed that are not to be used as shared storage (for example, an internal SCSI drive.) Such disks should be removed from the Managed Disks list. - Page 59 Beyond Initial Setup In production clustering scenarios, more than one private network for cluster communication must be used to avoid having a single point of failure. Cluster service can use private networks for cluster status signals and cluster management. This provides more security than using a public network for these roles.
- Page 60 Beyond Initial Setup Figure 15: Public network connection 8. The next dialog box shown in Figure 16 configures the private network. Make sure that the network name and IP address correspond to the network interface used for the private network. 9.
- Page 61 Beyond Initial Setup Figure 16: Private network connection 11. Click Next. 12. In this example, both networks are configured in such a way that both can be used for internal cluster communication. The next dialog window offers an option to modify the order in which the networks are used. Because Private Cluster Connection represents a direct connection between nodes, it is left at the top of the list.
- Page 62 Beyond Initial Setup 13. Enter the unique cluster IP address and Subnet mask, and click Next. Figure 17: Cluster IP Address The Cluster Service Configuration Wizard shown in Figure 17 automatically associates the cluster IP address with one of the public or mixed networks. It uses the subnet mask to select the correct network.

Page 64: Configuring The Second Node
Beyond Initial Setup Configuring the Second Node Note: For this section, leave the first node on and power up the second node. Installing Cluster service on the second node requires less time than on the first node. Setup configures the Cluster service network settings on the second node based on the configuration of the first node. - Page 65 Beyond Initial Setup Figure 19: Cluster Resources The presence of two nodes (ENTAPP12 and ENTAPP 13 in Figure 19) shows that a cluster exists and is in operation. 2. Right-click one of the groups and select the option Move. The group and all its resources will be moved to the other node.
