1.8.1 Storage Unit Configuration

This section explains how to configure storage units.


1.8.1.1 ETERNUS Storage

Resource Orchestrator manages only ETERNUS registered on ESC. Register the target ETERNUS on ESC.

For details on how to register to ESC, refer to the ESC manual.

Note

  • Definition of ETERNUS hot spares or RAID groups is not possible in Resource Orchestrator. Define hot spares and RAID groups using ETERNUSmgr or other software.

  • Resource Orchestrator supports access path settings on the FC-CA ports of ETERNUS connected using Fabric connections. It is necessary to select Fabric connection in the settings of the connection method of ETERNUS FC-CA ports.

  • Resource Orchestrator uses ETERNUS host affinity to enable recognition of LUNs by servers. Therefore, for affinity mode settings of ETERNUS FC-CA ports, "ON" must be selected.


1.8.1.2 NetApp FAS series/V series

Use the following procedure to configure NetApp FAS series/V series settings:

  1. Initial configuration

    Set the password of the Data ONTAP root account (using more than one character) and the admin IP address of Data ONTAP, referring to the "Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide" manual.

    Note

    • Resource Orchestrator uses the NetApp FAS series/V series which is not registered on storage management software such as DataFabric Manager.

    • Only one admin IP address can be registered for the NetApp FAS series/ V series on Resource Orchestrator.

  2. Configuration of SSL

    Configure SSL, referring to the "Data ONTAP System Administration Guide" manual.

    Execute the following command on the Data ONTAP that is to be managed:

    >options tls.enable on <RETURN>

  3. Creating aggregates

    Create more than one aggregate, referring to the "Data ONTAP Storage Management Guide" manual.

    Set any desired number when subdividing the management, such as when managing by users.

    Aggregates can be added later.

  4. Fibre Channel Connection Environment Settings

    Configure the following settings, referring to the "Data ONTAP Block Access Management Guide for iSCSI and FC" manual.

    • Configure the license settings of the Fibre Channel service.

    • Confirm the port settings, and configure the FC port for connection with the managed server as the target port.

  5. Creation of portset

    Refer to the "Data ONTAP Block Access Management Guide for iSCSI and FC" manual, and create more than one portset which combines FC ports used for access to the L-Server disk.

    Up to two port numbers can be set up per portset.

    When using NetApp storage with multiple controllers, create it combining the FC ports of the different controllers.

    Use the following name for the portset name:

    rcx-portsetNN (*1)

    *1: For NN, specify a number from 00 - 99

    Note

    • For the FC port to register in a portset, specify an FC port which is not registered in another portset.

    • Specify the FC port the Fibre Channel cable was connected to.

    • No portset other than the rcx-portsetNN is used.
