RAID groups and aggregates controlled by storage management software, and file systems for VM guest controlled by VM management software can be managed as virtual storage resources using Resource Orchestrator.
By registering VM management software or storage management software with Resource Orchestrator, information regarding storage controlled by the VM management software or storage management software will be obtained automatically and detected as virtual storage resources.
It is necessary to register detected virtual storage resources in the storage pool. For details on how to register to the storage pool, refer to "4.3.3 Virtual Storage Resources".
When addition or modification of storage is performed using storage management software or VM management software, periodic queries are made to the storage management software or VM management software to detect changes to the configuration/status of storage. The interval between regular updates varies according to the number of storage resources.
By right-clicking a storage resource on the RC console orchestration tree and selecting [Update] on the displayed menu, the configuration/status of the storage management software and VM management software is refreshed without waiting for the regular update.
After that, perform registration in the storage pool.
Definition File for Combining FC-CA Ports of ETERNUS Storage
[Windows/Linux]
Define the combination of the WWPNs of the FC-CA ports of the ETERNUS storage used when accessing the L-Server disk in the following definition file:
Also give a definition in the file when making configuration changes such as addition of storage to resource pool.
[Windows]
Installation_folder\Manager\etc\customize_data
[Linux]
/etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/customize_data
storage_portset.rcxprop
Describe the ETERNUS storage information for one device in one line using the following format: Use of line breaks is not possible.
storage_unit_ipaddr,"wwpnX:wwpnY","wwpnX:wwpnY",... |
storage_unit_ipaddr
When the same IP address as the IP address of the operation management LAN port for ETERNUS storage managed using ESC is specified in multiple lines, the definition of the first occurrence is valid.
Portset
A pair of FC-CA ports of ETERNUS storage used when accessing an L-Server disk, represented using the WWPN of the FC-CA ports.
Specify a pair of FC-CA ports using two WWPNs (16 digit hexadecimal numbers) separated with colons (":"). Up to 64 combinations can be specified.
If there is trouble with the ETERNUS storage controller, in order to avoid blocking both of the FC-CA ports used for L-Server, do not use combinations of ports on the same controller.
WWPNs of FC-CA ports which are not connected using Fibre Channel cable cannot be specified.
Already defined WWPNs cannot be specified for another portset.
