Product Overview
This chapter describes the configuration options and setup and configuration
dependencies and requirements for the StorageWorks NAS Executor E7000.
Intended Audience
This guide assumes that the reader has knowledge of basic Microsoft cluster
concepts, Microsoft administrative procedures, and file sharing protocols. It is
recommended that the reader obtain supplemental documentation relative to these
topics prior to setting up the NAS E7000.
Configuration Options
The NAS E7000 can be deployed in two different configurations attached to a storage
area network (SAN): as a single NAS device or as a clustered pair.
NAS E7000 as a Single Device Attached to a SAN
In the single NAS device configuration, a NAS E7000 is attached to a SAN via a pair
of fibre channel host bus adapters (HBAs) and two SAN switches as illustrated in
Figure 1-1. Each HBA should be connected to a separate switch that has access to the
same controller pairs. This connection method allows redundant paths to the same
storage subsystem. The redundant path can take two forms that are known as multi-
bus and transparent failover. These modes are set at the controller level and on the
NAS E7000.

Product Overview
SAN storage is not managed by the NAS E7000 and requires coordination between
the NAS administrator and the SAN administrator. LUN requests need to be made
and assigned to the NAS E7000 using selective storage presentation from the SAN
controller pairs. Naming of the LUNs and the connections to the NAS E7000 is
important for tracking and identification purposes. At least one LUN is required for
use by the NAS E7000 in order for the device to be functional. Refer to the Storage
Management section later in this chapter for naming conventions.

Product Overview
NAS E7000 as a Clustered Pair Attached to a SAN
In the clustered configuration, two NAS devices are linked via a private network and
have access to shared storage as illustrated in Figure 1-2. Each NAS device is
attached to the SAN via a pair of fibre channel HBAs. The same modes of operation
for controller access are pertinent to the cluster deployments of the NAS E7000.
In the case of the NAS E7000, cluster setup requires at least three LUNs. One LUN is
required for the quorum disk and two LUNs are required for data disks. Individual
data disks specific to each node are required for the proper setup of file sharing where
both nodes participate in file sharing activities. Clustered NAS systems have the
ability to provide redundant active/active access to file shares on disk. However, as
with all Microsoft-based clusters, the unit of ownership among nodes is at the disk
level. Therefore, individual fileshares can be accessed by only one node at a time
based on which node owns the disk.
As mentioned previously the storage associated with the NAS device is not managed
by the NAS E7000 directly. In the case of clustered NAS E7000 deployments, it is
important that the LUNs in use by the cluster follow the guidelines pointed out later
in this chapter in the "Storage Management" section.

Product Overview
Connecting NAS E7000 to the Network
The NAS E7000 can be connected to the network as a single device or as a clustered
pair.
NAS E7000 Single Device Deployment
In a single device deployment, network connections are divided into two categories:
client data segments and management segments. The default shipping configuration
contains a four-port network interface controller (NIC) card that provides one port for
management and three ports for client data. The management port is intended for use
with the 3201 port of the device to enable use of the Web user interface (WebUI) that
accompanies the product. It is from this WebUI that most management and
administrative procedures can be accomplished. An additional management port for
remote console and diagnostics is provided off the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition
(RILOE) board. Compaq recommends that this connection be placed on a
management LAN separate from the corporate infrastructure.
The NAS E7000 supports the use of NIC teaming. NIC teaming provides failover and
load balancing of network ports of the NAS E7000. NIC teaming requires the
network cables to be installed on the same subnet to enable it to work. For example,
in Figure 1-3 Eth1, Eth2, and Eth3 would need to be on the same subnet to enable
this functionality on those ports. However, it is not recommended to assign IP
addresses to the ports that will be teamed or load balanced prior to the installation
and setup of NIC teaming. For this reason, Compaq recommends that you set all
network ports to DHCP with the exception of Eth0, which is used for management
and only needs to meet the configuration policies of the corporation. For information
concerning the configuration of NIC teaming after setup is complete, see the
administration guide.

NAS E7000 Cluster Deployment
In a clustered deployment, network connections are in divided into three categories:
cluster maintenance segments, client data segments, and management segments. The
default shipping configuration contains a four-port NIC card that provides one port
for cluster maintenance, one port for management, and two ports for client data. An
additional management port for remote console and diagnostics is provided off the
RILOE board. Compaq recommends that this connection be placed on a management
LAN separate from the corporate infrastructure.

Product Overview
The cluster maintenance segment is also known as the heartbeat connection between
the nodes. In standard configurations, this connectivity is obtained by the use of a
crossover network cable. The same effect can be achieved by placing the heartbeat
ports on its own switch or VLAN, as illustrated in Figure 1-4 as Eth1. The purpose is
to isolate and guarantee the connectivity between the nodes without interruption. If
interruption occurs, the remaining cluster node will assume the other node has gone
down and initiate a failover. A second cluster heartbeat path is often recommended as
a redundant path. The redundant path is often done over one of the remaining
network segments and is not dedicated.
The client data segments of a cluster must reside on identical network segments for
each node. As illustrated in Figure 1-4, Eth2 from both nodes is shown on the same
segment and Eth3 from both nodes is shown on the same segment. This co-location
on the same segment allows cluster resources such as file shares to failover to the
second node and continues to provide availability to the resources. The failed
resource will have the same IP address after the failover and therefore must have a
port corresponding to the identified subnet of the IP address present on both nodes.
The NAS E7000 supports the use of NIC teaming in clustered configurations. All
previous caveats from the NAS E7000 single node deployment on networks section
still apply.

Setup and Configuration Overview
In setting up clustered and non-clustered systems, there is a well-defined process.
This section is intended as an overview of the process, and not a detailed list of step-
by-step instructions. Step-by-step procedures are documented in the administration
guide. Some of the steps are driven by wizards within the Web UI. In either type of
setup, it is important to read all of the supplied documentation prior to starting.
Supplied documents include:
Rack Installation and Connection Card
Administration Guide
Stand Alone NAS E7000
1. Request Storage from the SAN administrator referencing the suggestions made in
this guide and the storage management section of the administration guide. The
LUNs will need to exist on the SAN prior to completing setup.
2. Initialize the NAS device using Chapters 2-3 from this guide.
3. Identify the firmware, storage network topology (hub vs. switch), and storage
controller features in use on the SAN. Configure the NAS device to select the
appropriate HBA software using the WebUI.
4. This is an optional step. Install NIC teaming software and create fault tolerant
or load balanced network ports. Follow the recommendations found in this guide
and in the administration guide.
5. Connect the fibre channel cables to the storage switch or hub. The SAN
administrator will need to enable the connections one at a time as the cables are
connected.
6. Place the NAS device into an active directory or Windows NT 4.0 domain for
ease of manageability. This is not required for stand-alone systems, but it is
recommended.
7. With the system online, the SAN administrator assigns the LUNs to the NAS
device one at a time so that they can be identified easily in device manager and
assigned to a Virtual Replicator (VR) pool. See the procedure in the storage
management section of the administration guide.

8. Create virtual disks from the pools and format them.
9. Create shares and assign share permissions.
10. This is an optional step. Enable network file system (NFS) sharing, NCP, and/or
AppleTalk as desired. See the administration guide for this procedure in greater
detail.
11. This is an optional step. Create shares corresponding to the protocols mentioned
in the previous steps. Grant rights to access on a per protocol basis.
12. This is an optional step. Create NFS maps linking Unix users to Windows user
accounts to enable access permissions. See the appropriate section of the
administration guide for setting up NFS shares and maps.
13. Read the remaining sections of the administration guide.
Clustered NAS E7000
1. Request storage from the SAN administrator referencing the suggestions made in
this guide and the storage management section of the administration guide. The
LUNs will need to exist on the SAN prior to completing setup. A mirrored
quorum disk and at least two additional logical unit numbers (LUNs) will be
required to allow each node of the cluster to manage file system resources.
2. Set up each NAS device in the cluster using either Chapter 2 or 3 from this guide.
3. Activate the cluster setup tool (CST) via the Web browser on one of the nodes
and follow the steps in the wizard. The wizard will setup both nodes of the
cluster and bring the cluster up.
NOTE: While the wizard provides complete setup guidance for the cluster, protocol setup
such as NFS is a post wizard activity.
4. This is an optional step. Enable NFS sharing, NCP, and/or AppleTalk as
desired. See the administration guide for this procedure in detail.
5. This is an optional step. Create shares corresponding to the protocols mentioned
in the previous steps. Grant rights to access on a per protocol basis.
6. This is an optional step. Create NFS maps linking Unix users to Windows user
accounts to enable access permissions. See the appropriate section of the
administration guide for setting up NFS shares and maps.

Product Overview
NOTE: A management subnet provides for the best security and is optional, but
recommended.
Additional Ethernet connection ports to client subnets (depending on network
options ordered)
Windows-based PC running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (or greater) on the
same network segment as the NAS E7000 management port (Eth 0); This will be
used to set up the NAS device
IMPORTANT: The RapidLaunch client and NAS E7000 must be on the same network
segment as the management port (Eth 0) or RapidLaunch will not detect the NAS E7000.
Dependencies and Requirements - NAS E7000 Cluster
The following conditions must be met in order for the NAS E7000 to operate as a
cluster.
NOTE: The following requirements are in addition to the single node requirements.
Network Participation Requirement
The NAS E7000 must be running in a Microsoft Windows NT domain or Active
Directory environment. The Windows NT domain or Active Directory provides the
device name abstraction and centralized communications required for clustering. The
workgroup deployment lacks the features required by Microsoft Clustering Services
and is not supported.

Product Overview
Additional IP Networking Requirements
The environment must be able to support a separate, private network that
connects only the two clustered nodes for the heartbeat connection. The heartbeat
connection allows the nodes of a cluster to verify each other's state and form a
cluster. This connection can be accomplished by using a crossover cable (not
included with the NAS device) between the two NAS devices, by partitioning a
separate virtual LAN at the switch, or by using a physically separate network via
a separate switch or hub. Each node of the cluster should be placed on the same
non-routed subnet for this connection.
Compaq recommends setting up the public network as a redundant path for the
heartbeat. This setup, however, leads to increased traffic on the public network.
The remaining network segments of each node should be connected to matching
subnets across both nodes.
Storage Networking Requirements
Two additional open ports with one on each of the two SAN switches (for a total
of four open ports for clustering) that have access to the same controller pair on
the SAN
Two additional fibre channel cables (for a total of four fibre channel cables)
Storage Object Minimum Requirements
At least two LUNs (RAID 3/5 RAID), one for each cluster node for file sharing
One dedicated mirror set LUN for the cluster quorum disk
The cluster requires shared resources that can be accessed by either node in the event
of a failover. The fibre-based storage associated with a SAN provides such an
environment.
IMPORTANT: The only high-availability configuration that exists is one that uses vertical
striping using only one disk from each storage enclosure in any given RAID array.

Storage Management and Virtual Replicator on a SAN
This section provides an overview of the components that make up the NAS storage
structure. A complete reading of the components and their relationships may be
found in the administration guide.
CAUTION: This section on storage management and VR on a SAN is required
reading material for the NAS/SAN Administrator. This section develops the concepts
and requirements that serve as the basis for successfully using a StorageWorks NAS
device on the SAN. Failure to read this section and the appropriate sections on
storage management in the administration guide may lead to data loss or file
corruption..
Storage Management Overview
Figure 1-5 provides an illustration of the various storage components of the NAS
E7000. Storage is broken up into three major divisions:
SAN storage elements
Virtual Replicator elements
File system elements
Each of these elements are composed of the previous level's elements.
SAN Storage Elements
The lowest level of storage management on the NAS E7000 occurs at the physical
drive level. Physical drives are placed into the external storage enclosure or
enclosures of the SAN storage network and are grouped into RAIDsets (LUNs) for
fault tolerance and better performance.

Product Overview
Virtual Replicator Elements
Virtual Replicator (VR) provides volume virtualization for the NAS device by
allowing for the creation of virtual disks (basic disks in Windows 2000) from VR
pools containing the LUNs managed on the SAN. VR pools are logical abstractions
that aggregate the disk space from one or more LUNs into a large set of disk blocks.
From the pool of blocks, VR virtual disks are created and presented to the operating
system as New Technology File System (NTFS) volumes. Virtual disks can be
enlarged at a later time when there is a need for more space.
When using VR, the following constraints should be reviewed:
There is a maximum of 256 LUNs available to the connected NAS devices.
If multiple LUNs are used to form a VR pool, they must all be from the same
HSG80 controller pair.
LVM from Windows 2000 should not be used to manage VR disks. The two
management tools do not have an awareness of each other and compatibility
issues can arise between the two management tools.
VR pools can consist of a maximum of eight storage units. Thus, a pool can
consist of a maximum of eight separate LUNs. Each LUN cannot exceed 1 TB in
size.
A pool may contain a maximum of 8 TB of disk space, and the maximum virtual
disk size is 2 TB.
The LUNs composing a VR pool must be treated synchronously. For example, if
LUNs 8, 9, and 10 are used to compose a single VR pool and LUN 9 is restored
from a backup, snapshot, or clone, the VR pool would be corrupted, resulting in
complete data loss.
There is a limit to the number of virtual disks that can be carved out of a VR
pool. Currently, a maximum of eight virtual disks can be carved out of a single
pool.
Each virtual disk must be presented as a drive letter or a mount point on the NAS
device for users and the operating system to be able to access the virtual disk.
Although it is possible to create a virtual disk and not map it to a drive letter or
mount point, neither the users nor the administrator would have access to the
storage space contained within that virtual disk.

Product Overview
All the units that make up a pool should have the same high-availability
characteristics (RAID levels and striping methods). If one LUN member of the
pool goes offline, the entire pool is unavailable.
The current version of NAS does not support the use of CONCATSETS
(concatenated sets). VR pool participants must remain the same size. VR also
performs the same function as CONCATSETS, so this functionality is provided
at the software level, rather than at the controller level by adding LUNs to the
pool.
With Data Replication Manager (DRM), the LUNs of a VR pool must all be
treated synchronously. When using DRM, be sure to group all the LUNs of a
single pool into an association set so that the LUNs are kept in sync as they are
replicated to the remote or target storage subsystem.
File System Elements
The file systems are NTFS formatted with drive letter assignments from the virtual
disks that are created by VR.
