Architecture
Lesson 2

11
This lesson will discuss the architecture of the Lightning 9900 V Series.

Lesson 2 Objectives
! Describe the architecture of the Lightning 9900 V
Series storage arrays
! Describe the Lightning 9900 V Series system
packaging configurations
! Describe the Internal Hi-Star Architecture


! At the heart of the Lightning 9900 V Series is the Hi-

Star architecture
! The Hi-Star architecture has almost twice the internal
processing power and bandwidth of earlier enterprise
systems
The 9980V supports up to a combined total of 64 Fibre
Channel, 32 FICON, and ESCON Ports
The 9970V supports up to a combined total of 48 Fibre
Channel, 24 FICON, and ESCON Ports
! This network of interconnecting high-speed links to
system components provides an unequaled internal
aggregate bandwidth of 15.9GB/sec (gigabytes/sec) in
the Lightning 9980V system
At the heart of the Lightning 9900 V Series is enormous capacity for throughput, thanks
to Hi-Star architecture. This network of interconnecting high-speed links to system
components provides an unequaled internal aggregate bandwidth of 15.9GB/sec
(gigabytes/sec) in the Lightning 9980V system. This bandwidth is divided into
10.6GB/sec for data transfer and 5.3GB/sec for separate internal control information
transfer.


The Hi-Star architecture has almost twice the internal processing power and bandwidth
of earlier enterprise systems. The Lightning 9900 V Series is based on an internal
switched architecture. The 9980V supports up to a combined total of 64 Fibre Channel,
32 FICON and ESCON Ports, and has an internal bandwidth of 15.9GB/second. The
9970V supports up to a combined total of 48 Fibre Channel, 24 FICON and ESCON
Ports.
At the heart of the Lightning 9900 V Series are four Cache Switches (CSWs). Together,
these four switches (in the Lightning 9980V system) use a parallel switch fabric bus
(PSFB). The CSW is a specially designed crossbar switch that functions as a
combination MUX, path arbitrator, and non-blocking network switch. The CSW functions
as a MUX by supporting eight paths into the processor side of each switch and eight
paths to the cache modules. All total, there are 32 paths at the processor side of the
fabric network and 32 paths to the cache modules from the cache side of the fabric
network.

Lightning 9900V Series, contd

Other major components that make up the Lightning 9900 V Series systems are the
Array Control Processor modules (ACPs) and Host Adapter modules, called Channel
Host Interface Processors (CHIPs). These elements enable the unsurpassed bandwidth
of the Hi- Star network by bringing their own network paths (and bandwidth) to the
Cache Hierarchical Star Network (C-HSN) and the Control Memory Hierarchical Star
Network (CM-HSN). This means that the full 15.9GB/sec internal bandwidth is available
with a fully configured Lightning 9980V system with all four ACP pairs (eight modules
total) and all four CHIP pairs (eight modules total). This is a truly high-performance and
cost effective configuration.
With any Lightning 9900 V Series configuration, growing or scaling can be easily
completed by adding more CHIP pairs for connectivity or ACP pairs for more capacity or
performance. The internal bandwidth increases every time components are added. The
bandwidths stated are the rated bandwidths for the paths; the effective rates will vary
based on application workload and bandwidth consumption. Although two ACP pairs are
allowed for the Lightning 9970V system, more than one pair is rarely needed except for
scientific applications requiring massive bandwidth of raw data from disk.

! The Lightning 9900 V Series was designed with

maximum emphasis on high availability
System microcode can be upgraded non-disruptively
Active/active dual-ported disk drives instead of single-port
active drives
Separate storage for control and configuration tables
Mirrored cache instead of single image cache2
NanoCopy technology which offers a scheme for disaster
recovery
High-availability, custom-designed disk drives

The Lightning 9900 V Series was designed with maximum emphasis on high availability
computing for todays most critical enterprises. The elements listed in the slide are just
some of the elements that make this possible.


An important key to lower TCO is the Lightning 9900 V Series virtual Fibre Channel
ports. Virtualization is becoming increasingly important in todays heterogeneous
storage environment, which is made up of these storage architectures: direct attached
storage (DAS), storage area networks (SANs), and network attached storage (NAS), as
shown in this slide. This increases the need to centralize and efficiently manage all
heterogeneous storage with uniform enterprise policies and procedures.

! Provides virtual Fibre Channel

ports that are logically managed
by intelligent Fibre Channel

WWNs
The Lightning 9900 V Series provides virtual Fibre Channel ports that are logically
managed by intelligent Fibre Channel controller cards. Each physical Fibre Channel port
may have multiple Host Storage Domains. A Host Storage Domain supports a logical
Fibre Channel port (Fig. 7) each with its own set of LUNs. Hosts are matched to their
assigned HSD based on a unique World Wide Names (WWNs) identifier. LUN security
provided by Hitachi SANtinel software fences access to LUNs based upon host
WWNs. Under this innovative software structure, each of multiple host systems may
have its own unique LUN 0, from which it can boot, within its own Host Storage Domain.

Lightning 9980V System Array Frames
! Each array frame contains up

to 256 Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
modules and communication
interfaces to the Control
Frame, for a total of 1024
drives
! This design allows for efficient
centralized and consolidated
storage, which results in
reduced management costs
and lower overall TCO

Each array frame of the Lightning 9980V system contains up to 256 Hard Disk Drive
(HDD) modules and communication interfaces to the Control Frame, for a total of 1024
drives for a maximum configured system. This design allows for efficient centralized and
consolidated storage, which results in reduced management costs and lower overall
TCO.

Power Supplies
! Redundant power supplies in

both Control Frames and Array
Frames
! Both hot pluggable and hot
swappable and are N+1
redundant
! Cables carry 48-volt main
system power from the back of
the Control Frame and Array
Frame where the power is
converted to the required
voltages

The Lightning 9900 V Series power systems consist of redundant power supplies in
both Control Frames and Array Frames. The power supplies are both hot pluggable and
hot swappable and are N+1 redundant. This means they can be removed or installed
during system operation and, if a power supply fails during operation, the failed power
can be dynamically removed without any loss to system operation. The Lightning 9900
V Series power supply modules are shown in Figure 10. Cables carry 48-volt main
system power from the back of the Control Frame and Array Frame where the power is
converted to the required voltages. Different AC power cord options allow all Lightning
9900 V Series models to connect with the different electrical outlet configurations used
around the world.

Internal Hi-Star Architecture
! The internal Hi-Star architecture

consists of two separate
networks
Cache Hierarchical Star
Network (C-HSN)
Control Memory Hierarchical
Star Network (CM-HSN)

The internal Hi-Star architecture consists of two separate networks: the Cache
Hierarchical Star Network (C-HSN) and the Control Memory Hierarchical Star Network
(CM-HSN).

Internal Hi-Star Architecture - Cache Hierarchical Star

Network (C-HSN)
! The C-HSN is the network used for transferring data to
and from the main global data cache
The C-HSN can also be broken down into two component
networks: the processor paths to the C-HSN and the actual C-
HSN
! At the heart of the Lightning 9900 V Series are four
Cache Switches (CSWs)
The CSW is a specially designed crossbar switch that
functions as a combination MUX, path arbitrator, and non-
blocking network switch
Functions as a MUX by supporting eight paths into the
processor side of each switch and eight paths to the cache
modules

The C-HSN is the network used for transferring data to and from the main global data
cache. The C-HSN can also be broken down into two component networks: the
processor paths to the C-HSN and the actual C-HSN.
At the heart of the Lightning 9900 V Series are four Cache Switches (CSWs). Together,
these four switches (in the Lightning 9980V system) use a parallel switch fabric bus
(PSFB). The CSW is a specially designed crossbar switch that functions as a
combination MUX, path arbitrator, and non-blocking network switch. The CSW functions
as a MUX by supporting eight paths into the processor side of each switch and eight
paths to the cache modules. All total, there are 32 paths at the processor side of the
fabric network and 32 paths to the cache modules from the cache side of the fabric
network.
Hitachi FlashAccess software allows users to dynamically lock and unlock data into
cache in real time. Read and write functions are then performed at cache speeds, with
no disk latency delay. FlashAccess software, a portion of cache memory can be
allocated to specific data. Administrators can add, delete, or change FlashAccess
software managed data at any time, quickly and easily.
Read clustering in the Lightning 9900 V Series is enabled using built-in heuristics to
read ahead for every I/O. The heuristics are applied to determine if the data is being
accessed sequentially. If so, then the Lightning 9900 V Series reads ahead pages
corresponding to that data. Read-ahead helps to ensure that when a client read request
is received the requested data will already be stored in the data cache, so the request
can be satisfied immediately.

Internal Hi-Star Architecture - Control Memory

Hierarchical Star Network (CM-HSN)
! The Control Memory Hierarchical Star Network (CM-
HSN) is a point-to-point network that handles the
exchange of control information between the
processors and control memory
! Contains information about the status, location, and
configuration of the cache, the data in the cache, and
the configuration of the Lightning 9900 V Series system
As well as other information related to the operational state of
the system
! Two control memory areas are mirrored images of each
other

The Control Memory Hierarchical Star Network (CM-HSN) is a point-to-point network

that handles the exchange of control information between the processors and control
memory. The control memory contains information about the status, location, and
configuration of the cache, the data in the cache, and the configuration of the Lightning
9900 V Series system (as well as other information related to the operational state of
the system). Two control memory areas are mirrored images of each other. Control data
is data about data, also called metadata. Essentially, control information is handled
out of band from the data paths, both through a separate memory area and network.

The Hitachi Freedom Storage Lightning 9900V Series uses a High-speed All Fibre
Channel Back-end Design.
Special high-performance back-end drives are available with the Hitachi Freedom
Storage Lightning 9900V Series. All the drives are 3.5" Low Profile (LP) 1"-height
form factor with capacities available in 36GB, 73GB, and 146GB drives. The 36GB
drives spin at 15,000RPM, and the 73GB and 146GB drives spin at 10,000RPM.
Each FC-AL path is driven with a dedicated processor. The diagram of a Lightning 9900
V Series ACP pair is shown in the graphic. The Lightning 9900 V Series uses advanced
algorithms for managing performance of ACP pairs.
These dual-ported/dual-active Fibre Channel disk drives, combined with the technology
built into the ACP pair, allow the back end of Lightning 9900 V Series systems to use all
eight FC-AL paths in an ACP pair for both performance and fault tolerance. The ACPs
monitor the activity and the utilization of the paths. Based on this information, the ACPs
determine the best path to use for accessing a disk.

This slide shows a typical implementation of a Command View Management Station. A

computer with Command View installed is connected to a network that is also connected
to the Service Processor. This setup, called the Management Station, is connected to the
corporate network.
A host agent is installed and running on both the Service Processor and the Management
Station. The Service Processor is connected both to the external network and the XP
array internal network. With a Management Station connected, the Remote Console is
not available.
HP Command View provides the same functionality as remote Control XP running on a
Remote Control XP station.

Array

This slide shows an XP array attached to several clients using a fibre connection.
The Management Station and the Service Processor are connected to the same network
and the clients.
Each client has an array host agent installed to enable host management functionality.
The host agent communicates to the array through a special device called a command
device. At least one command device must be mapped to a port that the host running the
host agent can access.

Command View Installation

Command View installation is simple if the station is set up on the corporate network
according to these guidelines.
The Management Station must have connectivity to the Service Processor. Command
View will not connect to the arrays internal network because it cannot recognize the
internal networks IP Range.
The Service Processor must have SNMP enabled in order for it to communicate with the
Command View. The browser software must be configured not to use the arrays IP
address as a proxy server.

Command Agent supports the following platforms
Windows HP-UX 10.20
HP-UX 11.0,11.11 Solaris 2.6, 7.0, 8.0
HP Support Web Site AIX 4.3.3 Linux Red Hat 7.1(kernel 2.2.4)

Either of two methods can be used to install the Command View host agent. The first
method involves using Command View on the Management Station to access the
Deploy Host Agent tool, which is then used to push the agent to the host. This option
exists on all platforms supported by the host agent except for hosts running IBM AIX.
The second method of installing the Command View host agent is to download the host
agent from the Command View Support web page, which can be accessed from the HP
Support web site.
Command View version 1.5.1 host agents can co-exist with Storage Area Manager
2.2.0 hosts. Command view agents cannot co-exist with Command View SDM Remote
agents.
For more information, consult the HP support web site. The screen lists the platforms
the command view agent supports.
On Solaris platforms the agent is supported on SPARC servers with the Sun and
Jaycor PCI and SBus adapters.

Starting a Command View Client

Start a Command View client by pointing a web browser at the IP address of the Service
Processor.
Command View supports Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater and Netscape 6.2.1 or greater
on Windows platforms. On Unix platforms, Netscape 6.2.1 or greater is supported.
When starting the browser, the default administrative login and password is administrator.
The default user login and password is user.

Command View - Session Administration

A Command View administrator can use the Session Management window to view active
sessions. Administrators can also end sessions.
To access the Session Administration window, click the Session Administration tab.
Information pertaining to sessions on an array can be viewed by choosing the array in the
Disk Array list box.
Command View displays the user name, host address, access mode, connect time, and
idle time for each session.
To end a session, click on a session to choose it, then click the End Session button.

Choose the Path Connectivity tab to access the Connectivity Health, Array Security, Host
Storage Mapping, BC/CA administration, and Administration functionality. These modules
provide information on the host connection to the XP array.

Path Connectivity Tab Host Management

Click the Administration tab to access host management functions.

To manage or discover a host, use the folders and subfolders in the Administration tree
on the left side of the Administration window. Command View agent must be installed on
the host to perform these tasks.
The Administration tab may also be used to deploy a host agent.

Path Connectivity Tab Event Log

The Administration tab provides access to an event log in which host agent logs can be
viewed.
Click the Event Log folder in the Administration tree to open the Events window. Events
can be filtered by date, time, and severity. Each event is color-coded by severity level.
Each event entry is date- and time-stamped and includes a explanation of the event. The
Event Log window allows the administrator to reset the log, or truncate the log.

Path Connectivity Tab Connectivity Health

View the status of host connectivity by clicking the Connectivity Health tab. This screen
displays such Information as the array port, and host bus adapter World Wide Name
(WWN) and port to which the host is connected. Use the Diagnose link to view all the
logs for a specific host.

Path Connectivity Tab Array Security

Use the Array Security tab to determine whether security on an array port is enabled for
a specific host. Symmetrix array security is similar to LUN Masking.
XP models use HP Secure Manager to manage array security.

Path Connectivity Tab Host Storage Mapping

Use the Host Storage Mapping tab to view the mapping between the host device name
and device configuration on the XP array.

Launching Device Manager
Choose the mode
Mode is displayed here Choose to Exit Device

Manager
To launch Device Manager, click the Main tab, then the Overview tab as shown. Choose
an array from the list, then click View. The Device Manager window appears.
Device Manager has two operational modes: Modify and Read-Only (View) mode.
Multiple Read sessions can exist concurrently, but only one Modify session can run at a
time.
Command View is prevented from opening a Modify session if Service Processor or the
Remote Control XP Console is in Modify mode.
To close a Modify session, click the icon resembling a house. Note that closing the
browser does not end a session. If the browser is closed before ending the session the
array is locked. To unlock the array, either wait for the lock to time out, or reboot the
Command View server.

Device Manager Main Screen
Click to
return to
the Main
Window

This screen shows a snapshot of the Device Manager window.

At startup, Device Manager automatically queries the array for configuration information.
To exit Device Manager and return to the Main window, click the icon resembling a
house.

Device Manager - Status

The Device Manager Status Window displays status information on many of the
components of the array.
The Status Overview screen is shown here. In addition to the status overview, you can
view the status of a port, LDEV, ACP, parity group, VSC, and cache LUN by choosing the
appropriate tab from the Status window. Information on device health, and LUN security
is also available from this window.

Device Manager Port Status

This screen shows the Device Adminstration Status window for all ports of the XP
array. Access this window by clicking the Ports button from within the Device
Adminstration Status window.
The Port Details window provides information on port configuration such as connectivity
type--fabric or SCSI, and topology--Arbitrated Loop or Point-to-Point.
The loop ID value is valid only for ports that are configured for Arbitrated Loop topology.
Ports are configured for a host mode depending on the type of host that is attached to the
port. For example, a port supporting connectivity from a Solaris host is set to mode 00
while a port supporting a HP host uses 0C mode.

Device Manager Security Status

Choose the LUN Security tab to view LUNs that are masked to appear to a particular host
bus adapter (HBA).
This report is grouped by array port number. Each array port header notes whether
security is enabled. The HBAs connected to each port are listed on the left, with the
accessible LUNs on the right.

Device Manager Port/LDEV Map

Click the LDEV/Port Map tab to display the LDEV assignments to a port.
The LDEV is referenced by the Control Unit and LDEV designation as shown in the left
column. The report also lists the ACP Pair, Parity Group, Emulation, and size of each
LDEV.

Device Manager Parity Group

Click the Parity Group tab to view the LDEVs that are carved from a parity group. The
output shows the RAID protection on the parity group.

LUN Configuration Manager
Current Mode

Use LUN Configuration Manager to map XP array LUNs to ports. Access this feature by
choosing the LUN Management tab from the Device Manager module. LUN Manager
allows an administrator to view and delete LUNs, add a path to a LUN, expand the size of
a LUN, set a port host mode, configure the port fibre connectivity, and execute a Volume
Size Configuration (VSC) operation.
Operations that change the array configuration must be executed with Device Manager in
modify mode. Modify mode windows show more information and have more functionality
than view mode windows.
The Device Manager window displays the current mode in the top left corner. In this
example, the mode is indicated by the word (View) beside the Logged in as information.
LUN Manager runs on both the Remote Control XP Console and the Command View XP
Console.

LUN Configuration Manager - Command Device

Configuration
#
"
%
Use the LUN Configuration Manager View/Delete window to configure a LUN as a

command device (CMD).
First, click the LUN to choose it. Next, click the Set/Release Cmd Dev button, click OK.
The LUN will have a CMD designation in the View LUNs window as shown in Step 4
here. Command devices are needed when using Raid Manager or Command View.
Command devices are also necessary for on hosts running host agents. A Command
Device cannot be used as a data device.

LUN Configuration Manager View LUNs

Use the View/Delete LUNs window to view information on the configuration of LUNs or
volumes assigned to a port.
This example shows information on LUNs assigned to port CL1A. The window displays
the LUNs SCSI ID, LUN Number, Volume Number, Emulation Type, and reserved status.
The Volume Number is composed of the Control Unit number and the LDEV number of
the Volume separated by a colon. Note that LUN 00 is a Command Device.
The + in the Volume column indicates that the volume Is presented on one port.
Volumes presented on two ports display a ++ in the Volume column.
In the example, the SCSI ID is inconsequential because the LUNs are mapped to a port
that is configured for Fibre.

LUN Configuration Manager Add Paths

Use the LUN Configuration Manager Add Path window to add LUNs to an array port.
First, choose the port or ports. Next choose a LUN or group of LUNs, and click Set.
The Add Path confirmation window appears. The array verifies that the action is valid,
then a message box on the bottom of the Add Path window displays the progress of the
action.
Confirm the action by choosing OK in the Add Path dialogue box. Upon completion of the
add path action, use the View/Delete LUN window to verify the LUN(s) have been added
to the port.

LUN Configuration Manager - Set Host Mode

Use the LUN Configuration Manager Set Host Mode window to configure the type of
host that is attached to the port.
First, choose the host mode in the Select Host Mode list box in the top of the window.
This example indicates that mode 09 VxVM DMP is selected.
Click on a port or ports and click Select to select and move them into the left box.
Use Deselect to move ports back to the box on the right.
Use Select All/Deselect All to operate on all the ports.
When your selections are complete, click Set to change the host mode of the selected
ports. Confirm the action by choosing OK.
