What is ULP?
Unified LUN

Presentation

The intent of ULP is to make all LUNs in the system accessible through all ports on both Control Units ULP appears to the host as an active-active storage system where the host can choose any available path to access a LUN regardless of vdisk/LUN ownership Uses the T10 Technical Committee of INCITS* Asymmetric Logical Unit Access (ALUA) extensions, in SPC3**, to negotiate portals (paths) with aware host systems. Unaware host systems see all paths as being equal.

30

2 March 2009

ULP basic overview

ULP presents all LUNS to all host ports

Eliminates need for CU interconnect path (PBC) Presents the same (single) WWNN for both CUs

There is only one LUN name space (0-255)

No duplicate LUNs allowed between controllers Either controller can use any unused logical unit #

ULP recognizes which paths are preferred

The preferred path indicates which is the owning controller, per ALUA specifications Report Target Port Groups identifies preferred path Performance is slightly better on preferred path

31

2 March 2009

ULP design
Underlying concept is still vdisk ownership Vdisk ownership is transparent to host system ULP keeps the raid & disk firmware intact

No changes to raid and disk backend operation

Host & cache firmware modules updated for ULP

Host module presents all LUNs on all ports Data path routing modified at host and cache level Cache mirrors write AND read operations Owning controller always does I/O to disk

32

2 March 2009

ULP Write I/O processing

Write command to controller A for LUN 1 owned by CUB:

The data is written to CUA cache and broadcast to CUA mirror CUA acknowledges I/O completion back to host Data written back to LUN 1 by CUB from CUA mirror

Controller A
A read cache B read mirror A write cache B write mirror

Controller B
A read mirror B read cache A write mirror B write cache LUN 1 B Owned

33

2 March 2009

ULP Read I/O processing

Read command to controller A for LUN 1 owned by CUB:

CUA asks CUB if data is in CUB cache If found, CUB tells CUA where in CUB read mirror cache it resides CUA sends data to host from CUB read mirror, I/O complete If not found, request is sent from CUB to disk to retrieve data Disk data is placed in CUB cache and broadcast to CUB mirror Read data sent to host by CUA from CUB mirror, I/O complete

Introduction

Installation overview

38

Unpack the array Obtain the necessary accessories and equipment Mount the controller and expansion trays in a rack or cabinet Connect the AC power to the two power modules Perform initial power-up Connect the management hosts to the controller tray Connect the data hosts to the controller tray Use WBI or the CLI to set the Ethernet IP address, netmask, and gateway address, for each controller module Use WBI, or the CLI, to set the array date and time; change the management password Set the basic array configuration parameters Plan and implement your storage configuration

Connecting to a Terminal Emulator

Start and configure a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal using the following settings:
Terminal Emulator Display Settings
Terminal Emulation Mode ANSI (for color support) Font Terminal Translations None Columns 80 Connector COM1 (typically) Baud rate (bits/sec) 115,200 Data bits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Flow control None

Setting up the IP address

At the prompt (#), type the following command to set the IP address for controller A
Set network-parameters ip <address> netmask <netmask> gateway <gateway> controller <a|b>

Verify Ethernet connectivity by pinging the IP addresses Optional At the prompt (#), use the same command to set the IP address for controller B except b

Type the following command to verify the new IP addresses:

MSA2000fc G2 Management

Management via SMU and CLI

You can now manage your MSA2000fc G2 via:
1)

Web-based Storage Management Utility (SMU) It is the primary interface for configuring and managing the system. A web server resides in each controller module. SMU enables you to manage the system from a web browser that is properly configured and that can access a controller module through an Ethernet Command Line View (CLI) The embedded CLI enables you to configure and manage the system using individual commands or command scripts through an out-of-band RS-232 or Ethernet connection

2)

TIP: SMU uses popup windows to indicate the progress of user-requested tasks.
Therefore, disable any browser features or tools that block popup windows
