For example: featurekey_441EA14D2B68
11. Once the license is found, simply press y to proceed with the actual
restoration.
12. Repeat the steps 8 to 12 to the remaining nodes.

13. Time for you to take a break, it takes around twenty minutes for the restore to
go through.

Exercise 2: Using Peer Motion to migrate Volumes from

CLU1 to CLU2
L4 6
1.
Execute Hpcreatedata in the class file folder to generate data and create
the configuration below for both of the 10GB drives and start the jobs in
parallel. Configure the application as follows:
2.
During the running process, go back to the CMC.
3.
Select the 10 GB volume.
4.
Click Edit Volume Advanced.
5.
Change the Cluster from the first Volume to VSA_CLU1_GrpX.
6.
Repeat it with the other 10 GB volume
Rev. 13.43
7.
The Restriping process will start immediately.
8.
Go Back to the Windows Host. As you can see, the workload is still running
while the modules will be migrated.
Conclusion
With StoreVirtual Peer Motion you can migrate data between Clusters in the same
Management group while the Cluster is still remaining online!

Connect the authenticated Volume.
L4 9
7.
Enter the Target secret 123456123456; click OK.
Congratulation! The volume will be connected if you have entered the

correct key pair! This method is a secure way to mount only authenticated
volumes to dedicated servers!
As far as you continue to work with the volumes and server on the VSA you
have to disable CHAP after you have completed this part of the LAB on the
Host and IQN side!

Exercise 4: Monitor Adaptive Optimization

The StoreVirtual Performance Monitor provides real-time performance monitoring of
storage clusters down to 5 second intervals. A large number of metrics are available that
characterize performance latencies, IOPs, queue depth, page size, and many other
counters critical to understanding and evaluating performance. Data can be viewed in
the Centralized
Management Console as counters, graphically via charts and can also be exported via log
files (csv files) and SNMP traps.
Adaptive Optimization adds a new set of performance and usage counters to the HP
StoreVirtual Centralized Management Console. AO statistics have their own monitor
located under the cluster Performance Monitor area of the management tree. Many of
the same performance metrics available for volumes are present but now broken down
by each tier for individual volumes and storage systems. The Adaptive Optimization
monitor is modeled after the cluster Performance Monitor and located directly under the
Performance Monitor. The Adaptive Optimization monitor is accessed under the
Performance Monitor node in the left-hand pane of the CMC for clusters that are AO
enabled. Each console can be opened in its own separate windows for easy side-by-side
analysis and comparison.

The report shows the data movement indicated with the Blue and red line (Tier0 and
Tier1).
Use Adaptive Optimization volume capacity metrics to view utilization Volume level
metrics available in the Adaptive Optimization console. These include capacity utilization
of each tier, as well as each volume by tier. The following list of capacity metrics show
the information available.
Percent Volume Space All Tiers Used % of all tiers that volume is currently
consuming
Percent Volume Space Tier 0 Used % of volume that currently resides on Tier 0
Percent Volume Space Tier 1 Used % of volume that currently resides on Tier 1
Volume Space All Tiers Used Total physical capacity consumed by volume in GB
Volume Space Tier 0 Used Total physical capacity of Tier 0 consumed by volume in
GB
Volume Space Tier 1 Used Total physical capacity of Tier 1 consumed by volume in
GB
These capacity amounts show the amount of physical space consumed after taking into
account the Network RAID type used.
For example, if a volume shows 50 GB of consumption at the application server and
Network RAID 10 is being used for the volume on the cluster, the total physical capacity
of the cluster consumed would be 100 GB.
If the Percent Volume Space Tier 0 Used is 5 percent, this equates to 5 GB of physical
capacity consumed within Tier 0 for the volume. Due to Preferred Page technology
described earlier in the information, 5 GB consumed in Tier 0 means another 5 GB would
be consumed in Tier 1 to hold the replicated Network RAID 10 copy.
