HSV110 Controllers
One high performance controller is contained in a controller enclosure. The controller is the interface between HP StorageWorks Command View EVA and a storage system. A storage system is composed of one controller pair and multiple drive enclosures. The Enterprise Virtual Array can contain two HSV110 controllers. Each HSV110 controller features:

High performance power PC microprocessor An Operator Control Panel (OCP) for easy operation Two 2-Gbps Fibre Channel-Switch Fabric host ports Four 2 Gbps FC-AL device ports Arranged in redundant pairs Data load/performance is balanced across a pair Support up to 240 disks per controller pair
1-GB cache per controller, mirrored, with battery backup 2-Gbps FC cache mirroring port with device ports backups Dual power supplies
The HSV110 controller has been modified to contain dual power supplies. The dual power supplies allow the controller to efficiently use power from two power sources. In the event of a single power supply failure, the remaining power supply provides the required power to the controller. Figure 10 shows the front and rear views of the HSV110 controller.

Fibre Channel Cables

When an Enterprise Virtual Array is installed in the SAN, an SCtoLC (1-Gb to 2-Gb) cable is required for host connectivity. Furthermore, the Enterprise Virtual Array uses 2-meter LCtoLC FC cables between the FC loop switches and the FC drive enclosures. Table 2 and Table 3 provide a listing of available FC cables.

Enterprise Virtual Array Configurations
This chapter briefly discusses various Enterprise Virtual Array configurations. Each section describes the placement of controllers, drive enclosures, FC loop switches, enclosure address bus junction boxes and cables, and Fibre Channel cables. This chapter contains the following sections:

2C12D Configuration, page 30 2C6D Configuration, page 41 8C8D Configuration, page 51 2C2D Configuration, page 57 2C12D + 0C6D Configuration, page 63 2 x 2C12D + 0C12D Configuration, page 73

2C12D Configuration
The 2C12D configuration is a single-rack configuration that provides a maximum of 6.1 TB (168 36.4-GB disks), 12.2 TB (168 72.8-GB disks), or 24.5 TB (168 146-GB disks) of storage capacity. This configuration can contain a maximum of 168 disks. The 2C12D configuration is available in either the 41U rack or the 42U rack. The 2C12D can contain four FC loop switches or one expansion panel.
Enclosure Address Bus Configuration

The 2C12D configuration contains seven enclosure address bus junction boxes at 6U increments in the left rear rail of the rack. The FC drive enclosures and controller pair in the 2C12D configuration use all seven enclosure address bus junction boxes. Each FC drive enclosure should be connected to an enclosure address bus junction box. The FC drive enclosures connect to each enclosure address bus junction box in pairs. The controller pair connects to the enclosure address bus junction box with a Y cable. Figure 12 shows the enclosure address bus cable configuration for the 2C12D configuration.

Fibre Channel Loop Configurations

The 2C12D configuration contains four Fibre Channel loops. A Fibre Channel loop is formed when the FC drive enclosures and the controller pair are connected by Fibre Channel cables. The 2C12D configuration can use an FC loop switch or an expansion panel to achieve the desired Fibre Channel loop configuration. When a configuration uses FC loop switches, each FC drive enclosure in a loop is directly connected to the associated FC loop switch. The controller pair is also connected directly to the associated FC loop switch. When the FC loop switch is powered on, it completes a Fibre Channel loop. When a configuration uses an expansion panel, a Fibre Channel loop is achieved by connecting two FC drive enclosures directly to the controllers and linking each FC drive enclosure together in a chain. Table 4 provides the locations for the Fibre Channel loops in a storage rack.

Cable Management Configurations

A configuration can have two different cable management configurations. If the configuration uses FC loop switches, the configuration uses a combination of cable containment spools and a cable management arm to organize the Fibre Channel cables. If the configuration uses expansion panels, the configuration uses cable containment spools to organize the Fibre Channel cables.
Cable Management Arms

When the configuration uses FC loop switches, the configuration contains two cable management arms. All of the Fibre Channel cables in the configuration pass through one of the cable management arms. Each cable management arm can hold several radial clips. Each radial clip can hold a maximum of seven Fibre Channel cables. The cable management arms can hold all of the Fibre Channel cables within a storage system configuration. Each rack contains four flumes. These flumes are placed next to the cable management arms on the left and right sides of the rack. Each flume guides the Fibre Channel cables from the cable containment spools to the cable management arms.
39
Cable Containment Spools

The cable containment spools hold the Fibre Channel cables. These cable containment spools gather up extra cable length and guide the Fibre Channel cables from the FC drive enclosures to the flumes located on the sides of the rack. The number of cable containment spools varies by rack configuration. Racks with more FC drive enclosures contain more cable containment spools. The 2C12D configuration contains 12 cable containment spools and two cable management arms. Figure 21 shows the cable management configuration for the 2C12D configuration.

2C12D + 0C6D Configuration

The 2C12D + 0C6D configuration is a dual-rack configuration that provides up to 8.7 TB (240 36.4-GB disks), 17.5 TB (240 72.8-GB disks), or 35 TB (240 146-GB disks) of storage capacity by expanding from 168 disks to 240 disks. The 0C6D rack connects to the 2C12D rack with enclosure address bus cables and Fibre Channel cables.

Each rack contains enclosure address bus junction boxes at 6U increments in the left rear rail of the rack. The 0C6D rack contains six enclosure address bus junction boxes; however, the FC drive enclosures use only three of the enclosure address bus junction boxes. The 2C12D rack contains seven enclosure address bus junction boxes. The FC drive enclosures and controller pair in the 2C12D rack use all seven enclosure address bus junction boxes. The two racks are connected by one enclosure address bus cable, which connects to the bottom enclosure address bus junction box on each rack. The enclosure address bus cable between the racks is polarized. The P1 end of the cable connects to the bottom enclosure address bus junction box on the 2C12D rack. The P2 end of the cable connects to the bottom enclosure address bus junction box on the 0C6D rack.
Note: Make sure the P1 end of the enclosure address bus cable is plugged into the 2C12D rack and the P2 end of the enclosure address bus cable is plugged into the 0C6D rack. If the cable is connected to the racks incorrectly, Command View EVA places the FC drive enclosures in the Unmappable Hardware folder.
In order to connect two racks with an enclosure address bus cable, the HP Authorized Service Representative will have to remove the bottom terminator on the master rack (2C12D rack).

The 2 x 2C12D + 0C12D configuration is a triple-rack configuration that can provide up to 17.5 TB (480 36.4-GB disks), 34.9 TB (480 72.8-GB disks), or 70 TB (480 146-GB disks) of storage capacity by expanding each Enterprise Virtual Array to 240 disks each for a total of 480 disks. The two 2C12D master racks connect to the 0C12D expansion rack with enclosure address bus and Fibre Channel cables.

Each rack contains enclosure address bus junction boxes at 6U increments in the left rear rail of the rack. The 0C12D rack contains six enclosure address bus junction boxes. The FC drive enclosures in the 0C12D rack use all six enclosure address bus junction boxes. The 2C12D rack contains seven enclosure address bus junction boxes. The FC drive enclosures and controller pair in the 2C12D rack use all seven enclosure address bus junction boxes. The three racks are connected by two enclosure address bus cables. Each master rack is connected to the expansion rack by one enclosure address bus cable. One master rack runs an enclosure address bus cable to the bottom enclosure address bus junction box on the expansion rack; the other master rack runs an enclosure address bus cable to the fourth enclosure address bus junction box (from the bottom) on the expansion rack. The enclosure address bus cables are polarized. The P1 end of the cable connects to the bottom enclosure address bus junction box on the 2C12D rack. The P2 end of the cable connects to the enclosure address bus junction box on the expansion rack.
Note: Make sure the P1 end of the enclosure address bus cable is plugged into the 2C12D rack and the P2 end of the enclosure address bus cable is plugged into the expansion rack. If the cable is connected to the racks incorrectly, Command View EVA places the FC drive enclosures in the Unmappable Hardware folder.
In order to connect the racks with an enclosure address bus cable, the HP Authorized Service Representative will have to remove the bottom terminator on the master racks (2C12D rack).

The 2 x 2C12D + 0C12D configuration contains eight Fibre Channel loops. A Fibre Channel loop is formed when the FC drive enclosures and the controller pair are connected by Fibre Channel cables. The 2 x 2C12D + 0C12D configuration can use an FC loop switch or expansion panels to achieve the desired Fibre Channel loop configuration. The 0C12D rack is divided into an upper and lower half. The upper half of the 0C12D rack connects to the master rack on the right (when viewed from the rear), and the lower half of the 0C12D rack connects to the master rack on the left (when viewed from the rear).
74 Enterprise Virtual Array Hardware Configuration Guide
When the 2 x 2C12D + 0C12D configuration uses FC loop switches, each FC drive enclosure in a loop is directly connected to the associated FC loop switch. The controller pair is also connected directly to the associated FC loop switch. When the FC loop switch is powered on, it completes a Fibre Channel loop. When the 2 x 2C12D + 0C12D configuration uses expansion panels, all of the FC drive enclosures in a loop are connected to the controller pair in the master rack. The 2 x 2C12D + 0C12D configuration uses expansion panels to achieve this configuration. Refer to Table 4 on page 31 for locations of Fibre Channel loops in a storage rack.

Upgrading Existing Racks to Enterprise v2.0
This chapter summarizes how to upgrade an Enterprise Virtual Array v1.0 configuration to an Enterprise Virtual Array v2.0 configuration. The key differences between an Enterprise Virtual Array v1.0 configuration and an Enterprise Virtual Array v2.0 configuration are the absence of expansion panels, the addition of FC loop switches, and the reconfiguration of the Fibre Channel cables. This chapter contains the following sections:

Expansion Panels, page 85 FC Loop Switches, page 85 Fibre Channel Cable Reconfiguration, page 85
Note: Only HP Authorized Service Representatives may upgrade Enterprise Virtual Array v1.0 configurations to Enterprise Virtual Array v2.0 configurations.
Before you upgrade an Enterprise Virtual Array v1.0 configuration to an Enterprise Virtual Array v2.0 configuration, ensure that you have the correct Enterprise Virtual Array software and firmware. Refer to HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array Changing EVA Versions Instructions for more information.
83
Figure 62 shows the 2C12D configuration for the Enterprise Virtual Array v1.0 and the for Enterprise Virtual Array v2.0. In general, v2.0 racks are characterized by the presence of the FC loop switches. Enterprise v1.0 racks are 42U, while v2.0 racks can be either 41U or 42U.
Note: Enterprise Virtual Array v3.0 racks use the same configurations as the Enterprise Virtual Array v2.0 racks.

Expansion Panels
In Version 1.0 of the Enterprise Virtual Array, expansion panels were added to racks to allow you to expand the storage capacity of the Enterprise Virtual Array. In Version 2.0 of the Enterprise Virtual Array, the presence of FC loop switches has made the expansion panels obsolete. You can easily expand an Enterprise Virtual Array configuration by directly connecting additional FC drive enclosures to the FC loop switches. Your HP Authorized Service Representative is responsible for removing expansion panels.
FC Loop Switches
An Enterprise Virtual Array master rack contains four FC loop switches. Typically, two FC loop switches are mounted on a rack shelf above the controller pair, and two FC loop switches are mounted on a rack shelf below the controller pair. Your HP Authorized Service Representative is responsible for installing FC loop switches.
Fibre Channel Cable Reconfiguration

The Fibre Channel cable configuration on a rack that uses FC loop switches differs from the Fibre Channel cable configuration on a rack that uses expansion panels. When a rack uses an expansion panel, the FC drive enclosures are linked together in a chain and connected to the controllers via the expansion panel. When a rack uses FC loop switches, the FC drive enclosures and the controllers are linked directly to the FC loop switch. Your HP Authorized Service Representative is responsible for reconfiguring the Fibre Channel loops.

Expanding a Rack
This chapter summarizes how to add new FC drive enclosures to a storage rack and describes the placement of controllers, FC drive enclosures, FC loop switches, enclosure address bus junction boxes and cables, and Fibre Channel cables. This chapter contains the following sections:

Adding FC Drive Enclosures to a Rack, page 88 2C6D + 6D Configuration, page 89 0C6D + 6D Configuration, page 99
Only HP Authorized Service Representatives may expand the 2C6D and 0C6D racks. The 2C6D and 0C6D racks may be expanded by adding FC drive enclosures, Fibre Channel cables, and enclosure address bus cables to the existing racks. In general, the FC drive enclosures are added in pairs. The 2C6D rack can be expanded to the following:

2C6D + 2D (expands the 2C6D rack to 112 disks) 2C6D + 4D (expands the 2C6D rack to 140 disks) 2C6D + 6D (expands the 2C6D rack to 168 disks)
The 0C6D rack can be expanded to the 0C12D rack.
87
Expanding a Rack
Adding FC Drive Enclosures to a Rack

An HP Authorized Service Representative can add FC drive enclosures to a rack while the Enterprise Virtual Array is on or off. HP highly recommends that the Enterprise Virtual Array is turned off, while adding FC drive enclosures to a rack. If the HP Authorized Service Representative would like to add an FC drive enclosure to the rack with the power on, the service representative should take care to disconnect and connect one Fibre Channel loop at a time. Adding FC drive enclosures involves placing the drive enclosures in the rack, connecting the drive enclosures to the enclosure address bus and the power outlets, and correctly adding the drive enclosures to the FC loops.
Note: An HP Authorized Service Representative must add the FC drive enclosures to the rack. Do not attempt to do add an FC drive enclosure without first seeking guidance and assistance from an HP Authorized Service Representative.
2C6D Configuration
The 2C6D configuration contains up to six FC drive enclosures (84 disks). This configuration is shown in Figure 64.

2C6D + 6D Configuration
The 2C6D + 6D configuration provides up to twelve FC drive enclosures (168 disks). It upgrades a 2C6D configuration to a 2C12D configuration.
Note: This configuration is only available with assistance from an HP Authorized Service Representative.

Each FC drive enclosure should be connected to an enclosure address bus junction box. The FC drive enclosures connect to each enclosure address bus junction box in pairs. The controller pair connects to the enclosure address bus junction box with a Y cable. Figure 65 shows the enclosure address bus cable configuration for the 2C6D + 6D configuration.

Expanding a Rack

The 2C6D + 6D configuration contains four Fibre Channel loops. A Fibre Channel loop is formed when the FC drive enclosures and the controller pair are connected by Fibre Channel cables. The 2C6D + 6D configuration can use an FC loop switch or an expansion panel to achieve the desired Fibre Channel loop configuration. When the 2C6D + 6D configuration uses FC loop switches, each FC drive enclosure in a loop is directly connected to the associated FC loop switch. The controller pair is also connected directly to the associated FC loop switch. When the FC loop switch is powered on, it completes a Fibre Channel loop. When the 2C6D + 6D configuration uses an expansion panel, a Fibre Channel loop is accomplished by connecting two FC drive enclosures directly to the controllers and linking each FC drive enclosure together in a chain. Table 5 provides the locations for the Fibre Channel loops in a storage rack.

Element RedundancyThe degree to which logical or physical elements are protected by having another element that can take over in case of failure. For example, each loop of a device-side loop pair normally work independently but can take over for the other in case of failure. 2. Data RedundancyThe level to which user data is protected. Redundancy is directly proportional to cost in terms of storage usage; the greater the level of data protection, the more storage space is required.

redundant power configuration A capability of the Enterprise Storage System racks and enclosures to allow continuous system operation by preventing single points of power failure.
For a rack, two AC power sources and two power conditioning units distribute primary and redundant AC power to enclosure power supplies. For a controller or drive enclosure, two power supplies ensure that the DC power is available even when there is a failure of one supply, one AC source, or one power conditioning unit. Implementing the redundant power configuration provides protection against the loss or corruption of data.
