Storage federation on HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage can also help you improve availability in clustered

VMware environments.

Mixed workload - Mixed workload support serves transactional and throughput-intensive workloads from a single device. The purpose-built HP 3PAR ASIC delivers mixed workload support to alleviate performance concerns and cut traditional array costs. Transaction- and throughput-intensive workloads run on the same storage resources without contention, thereby cutting array purchases in half.

Data at Rest Encryption - enables the encryption for all the data that is stored on the internal drives of the 3PAR StoreServ Storage. The 3PAR StoreServ Data Encryption solution encrypts and decrypts all data written to and read from the media automatically. The 3PAR StoreServ Data Encryption solution encrypts the data so that data cannot be read off a drive that is removed from the 3PAR Storage. In the event of a failure of the drive or the theft of a drive, the proper authentication key is required to be entered to gain access to the data stored within the drive. This method of encryption allows the user the comfort knowing all data contained on the drive is protected against internal and external risks.

Service and Support, HP Care Pack, and Warranty Information

Configuration Information

Step 1 - Choose a Base configuration

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 configurations start with the selection of the Base. The Base includes controller nodes, bays for small form factor drives, and PCIe slots for host adapter cards. SAN Kits are also considered base configurations. The SAN Kits simplify ordering for SAN configurations with the array and extend the switch warranty to 3-years by including switches with an HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage Base.

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Base Configurations

A minimum of one (1) configuration base must be ordered.

The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 base configuration includes (2) controller nodes, 24 GB of cache, (24) small form factor drive bays, (4) built-in 8 Gb/sec FC ports, (4) 8Gb shortwave FC SFP, (2) PCIe adapter slots for host adapter cards - one slot per node, (4) 2m SAS cables, (1) mounting rail kit, and power cords.

The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 2-node base configuration includes (2) controller nodes, 32 GB of cache, (24) small form factor drive bays, (4) built-in 8 Gb/sec FC ports, (4) 8Gb shortwave FC SFP, (2) PCIe adapter slots for host adapter cards - one slot per node, (4) 2m SAS cables, (2) 1U rack filler panels to reserve 2U of rack space above the 2-node Storage Base for a future upgrade to a 4-node configuration, (1) mounting rail kit, and power cords.

Also included is a 3 year warranty for the switches.

NOTE: Requires optical transceivers and switch cabling which must be supplied separately.

All base configurations include built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports for management and Remote Copy over IP.

*Storage Centric Configuration

The Storage Centric rack versions of HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 and 7400 are for CTO (factory Configure-To-Order) only. With a Storage Centric configuration, the storage system gets placed in the center of the rack so that future expansion of that storage system becomes easier.

In Storage Centric configurations, non-3PAR components, with the exception of certain StoreFabric Storage Networking switches, if added to the same order, get placed in a separate rack.

The following diagrams show a HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 4-node Storage System in Storage Centric and non-Storage Centric configurations

Configuration Information

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 Upgrade Controller Node Pair

Use the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 Upgrade Node Pair to convert an existing previously installed HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 2-node Storage Base into a 4-node configuration.

Used to upgrade the QR483A HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 2-node Storage Base to a 4-node configuration.

One (1) pair of controller nodes beyond the base configuration is supported on the 3PAR StoreServ 7400.

The 3PAR StoreServ 7400 Upgrade Node Pair includes (2) controller nodes, 32 GB of cache, (24) small form factor drive bays, (4) built-in 8 Gb/sec FC ports, (4) 8Gb shortwave FC SFP, (2) PCIe adapter slots for host adapter cards - one slot per node, (4) 2m SAS cables, (4) node link cables, (1) mounting rail kit, and power cords

The upgrade node pair includes built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports for management and Remote Copy over IP.

Configuration Information

Step 2 - Choose Host Adapter

Host adapters can be ordered separately to be installed in the field or they can be factory configured into controller nodes. Host adapter cards provide the array with additional FC ports or with 10Gb/sec iSCSI/FCoE ports. The additional FC ports can be used for connection to hosts or used to connect to other HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems in a Remote Copy relationship. The iSCSI/FCoE ports permit host connection in iSCSI and FCoE environments.

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Host Adapters

* Factory default configurations for given quantities of adapters.

NOTE: If the configuration includes Remote Copy over Fibre Channel it is recommended that optional Fiber Channel HBAs are purchased as the built in ports will not offer sufficient connectivity.

Configuration Information

Step 3 - Choose Drive Enclosures

Add drive enclosures to expand the configuration and to add large form factor drives to the configuration. Drive enclosures can be ordered separately for installation in the field, or they can be factory configured in a rack. Drive enclosures are optional. Because the Storage Base products and the Upgrade Node Pair include small form factor drive bays, the minimum configuration does not require any additional drive enclosures. For larger configurations, attach drive enclosures. Each drive enclosure includes 24 drive bays. The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 supports up to five (5) added drive enclosures. The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 supports up to nine (9) added drive enclosures per node pair. The two drive enclosure types can be intermixed in a single array.

Drive Enclosures

Configuration Information

Step 4 - Choose Drives

Drives are orderable at the time the array is purchased, or can be added in the future when additional capacity is required. Unlike other HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems where drives are sold in magazines of four, HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 drives are sold as single drives. Note that these drives are only compatible with the M6710 and M6720 drive enclosures.

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 SAS Drives

For each drive type installed in the array, the minimum recommended initial quantity is

SSD and SAS performance HDDs - eight (8) drives* per node pair

Nearline HDDs - twelve (12) drives per node pair

Minimum upgrade quantity is 4 drives per node pair or 2 drives per enclosure, whichever is larger. Best practice is to run Autonomic Rebalance (also known as tunesys) after adding the drives.

RAID 6 is strongly recommended for Nearline drives.

All node enclosures must contain either zero (0) or an even number of drives. All drive enclosures must contain an even number of drives, with a minimum of two. Minimum raw capacity is 1.2TB per node pair.

A best practice is to add equal numbers of drives to all enclosures compatible with the drive type being added.

With a four node configuration, the best practice is to attach the same number and type of drives to each node pair.

Small Form Factor (SFF)-specific configuration practices

SFF drives may be loaded into the Storage Base enclosures, the Upgrade

Provide a secure communication channel between the customer's data center and HP 3PAR Central for:

Remote Online Software Upgrade; upgrade software with no application disruption

Remote Diagnostics; key diagnostic information maintained centrally on a historical basis Remote Serviceability; provides fast predictive response and remediation

Each HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 requires its own Service Processor. The Service Processor functions as the communication interface between a customer's IP network and HP 3PAR Central by managing all service-related communications. The Service Processor leverages the industry-standard HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) protocol to secure and encrypt data communication.

Virtual Service Processor

The Service Processor can be deployed either as a virtual Service processor or a physical Service Processor. A virtual Service Processor (VSP) is included free with the 3PAR Base Operating System. The virtual Service Processor can be installed on a VMware system that is provided by the customer before installation that meet the following specifications:

VMware vSphere 4.1 and above

Server listed in VMware Compatibility Guide and with the following features

1GB RAM (minimum for the vSP Virtual Machine)

320GB free disk space (NOTE: Virtual SP storage must not reside on the array it is managing.)

DVD ROM or DVD RW 1Gb Ethernet port

The customer must provide any hardware required to host the remote support software when deploying a Virtual Service Processor. For scheduled service calls, the customer shall make the Virtual Service Processor available to HP for remedial activities at the agreed- upon time. The customer is responsible for maintaining the appropriate HP 3PAR Remote Support Technology with a secure connection to HP and any passwords required to access the local network and Virtual Service Processor. The customer is responsible for providing all necessary resources in accordance with the HP 3PAR Service Processor Release Notes in order to enable the delivery of the service and options.

Step 8 - Choose Software

HP provides an extensive selection of features for HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage. All of the features available on the HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 Storage system are also available on the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage system, the result of a common architecture that spans from small and medium businesses to the largest global enterprise. For convenient ordering, the 3PAR StoreServ 7000 provides the features in Suites.

Two types of software licensing methods are employed with the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000. Some software titles are licensed per system; other titles are licensed by drive. With system-based licensing one license covers the whole array, independent of configuration or capacity. Drive-based licensing, in contrast, is licensed per installed drive. A software title with drive-based licensing includes two Licenses to Use (LTU), a Base LTU that enables the software feature for the system and a Drive LTU that licenses the use of one drive. For each software title, purchase one Base LTU per title per array, and one Drive LTU, up to a cap, for every drive, that is installed in the array, independent of drive type. For the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 the Drive LTUs cap at 48. For the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 the Drive LTUs cap at 168. After reaching the cap, you do not need to purchase any more Drive LTUs for that title.

Standard Features

Windows Storage Server 2012 (WSS2012) includes a robust range of file serving and storage capabilities. It addresses heterogeneous file workload environments and enables more efficient storage utilization. It allows for a flexible mix of configurations and includes advanced data management tools. WSS2012 leverages your Windows Server management skill sets and tools including Active Directory, PowerShell and System Center.

SMB 3.0: Leverage high performance continually available file shares to deliver feature-rich storage for continuously available file services, business-critical applications and virtual servers using advanced new functionality.

New VHDX Standard: Deploy larger capacity virtual storage that can grow to 16 terabytes, is more resilient against corruption, and provides more efficient usage of new 4 KB sector hard disks with the new VHDX virtual storage standard.

Live Storage Migration: Maintain maximized service-level availability even while moving virtual machine storage between host servers independent of the actual virtual machine.

SMB Multi-channel: Enable aggregation of network bandwidth and network fault tolerance when multiple paths are available between SMB clients and file servers.

NFS v4.1: For Windows Storage Server 2012, Server for NFS has been updated to support continuous availability. These improvements make it possible to reliably store and run VMware ESX on a virtual machine that is running Windows Server 2012 by using the NFS protocol to share files. Additional improvements in failover clustering take advantage of better resilience to hardware and software outages that may afflict individual cluster nodes. At the same time, failover clustering isolates VMware ESX hypervisor hosts from intermittent glitches during failovers.

Data Deduplication: Data deduplication enables Windows Storage Server 2012 to store more data in less physical space and achieve storage efficiency that is significantly higher than was possible in previous releases of Windows Storage Server that used Single Instance Storage (SIS) or NTFS file system compression. Data deduplication uses variable size chunking and compression, which deliver optimization ratios of 2:1 for general file servers and up to 20:1 for virtualization data. Evaluate your savings with the Deduplication Evaluation Tool.

Volume Shadow Copy Service: Creates point-in-time copies (snapshots) of files and folders at predetermined time intervals that can then be accessed from client computers.

VSS for Remote SMB File Shares: Leverage proven Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to offload snapshot and backup operations to remote storage from VSS hardware providers within Hyper-V virtual machines.

Hosted Branch Cache: Using client/server architecture, Windows 7 and above client computers can cache content on the local network via the Hosted Cache running on the 3PAR StoreServ File Controller. Other clients who need the same content retrieve it directly from the Hosted Cache.

DFS Namespaces: Enables you to group shared folders that are located on different servers into one or more logically structured namespaces. Each namespace appears to users as a single shared folder with a series of subfolders. However, the underlying structure of the namespace can consist of numerous file shares that are located on different servers and in multiple sites.

Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R): Enables you to efficiently replicate folders (including those referred to by a DFS namespace path) across multiple servers and sites. DFS Replication uses a compression algorithm known as remote differential compression (RDC). RDC detects changes to the data in a file, and it enables DFS Replication to replicate only the changed file blocks instead of the entire file.

File Server Resource Manager (FSRM): File Server Resource Manager is a set of features that allow you to manage and classify data that is stored on file servers. File Server Resource Manager includes the following features:

Storage reports: Storage reports are used to help you identify trends in disk usage and how

Standard Features

your data is classified. You can also monitor a selected group of users for attempts to save unauthorized files.

File Classification Infrastructure: File Classification Infrastructure provides insight into your data by automating classification processes so that you can manage your data more effectively. You can classify files and apply policies based on this classification. Example policies include dynamic access control for restricting access to files, file encryption, and file expiration. Files can be classified automatically by using file classification rules or manually by modifying the properties of a selected file or folder.

File Management Tasks: File Management Tasks enables you to apply a conditional policy or action to files based on their classification. The conditions of a file management task include the file location, the classification properties, the date the file was created, the last modified date of the file, or the last time the file was accessed. The actions that a file management task can take include the ability to expire files, encrypt files, or run a custom command.

Quota management: Quotas allow you to limit the space that is allowed for a volume or folder, and they can be automatically applied to new folders that are created on a volume. You can also define quota templates that can be applied to new volumes or folders.

File screening management: File screens help you control the types of files that user can store on a file server. You can limit the extension that can be stored on your shared files. For example, you can create a file screen that does not allow files with an MP3 extension to be stored in personal shared folders on a file server.

Initial Configuration Tasks Wizard: Simplifies and accelerates new device deployment by presenting basic system settings on your first boot.

Print Management Console: Manage multiple printers (license for unlimited printer support) from a single console, whether locally or over the WAN

For increased uptime, productivity and ROI-HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage

These days, you need to get the most out of your storage investment-you can't afford not to. When you buy HP storage products and solutions, it's also a good time to think about what levels of service and support you may need. To help take the worry out of deploying, designing, maintaining, and managing your environment, we've designed a portfolio of service options that are as: flexible, reliable and scalable as your storage. Unlike storage-only vendors, we take a holistic approach to your entire environment, bridging storage, servers, blades, software and network infrastructures with our HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage.

Protect your business beyond the warranty

When it comes to robustness and reliability, standard warranties on today's computing equipment have matured just as the technologies have matured. Good news on some fronts-but also a source of potential problems and subsequent consequences that come from depending on standard warranties alone. Standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of downtime- but not the business. By using a standard approach to warranty uplifts, such as HP Care Pack Services, you can reduce downtime risks and be more certain of operational consistency for both mission-critical and standard business computing. Simply put, HP Care Pack Services normalize the warranty of combined products - helping you proactively guard against unplanned downtime.
