Overview

5Capacity Management for StorageWorks NAS Servers Application Notes

Overview

HP OpenView Storage Area Manager is a client/server software suite that provides centralized

storage monitoring and management. If you use Storage Area Manager to manage capacity

utilization in a storage area network (SAN), you can also manage capacity for

Windows-powered HP StorageWorks NAS servers as Windows hosts.

After installation of the Storage Area Manager host agent, the NAS server can take advantage

of Storage Node Manager and Storage Builder functionality just as any other Windows host,

including:

■Automated discovery and topology mapping

■Continuous health monitoring and real-time event status information

■Storage allocation and utilization views

■Historical trending and future extrapolations

■Reports, graphs, and charts for capacity management and planning

■Automated notification of capacity threshold violations

HP has successfully tested and supports Storage Area Manager v3.1 host agents on the

following NAS systems:

■HP StorageWorks NAS b3000 v2

■HP StorageWorks NAS e7000 v2

■HP StorageWorks NAS 4000s

■HP StorageWorks NAS 9000s

Note: To date, Storage Area Manager support for older HP Windows-powered NAS devices

(NAS b2000, NAS b3000 v1, and NAS e7000 v1) has been limited to discovery and health

monitoring. Storage Area Manager enables this functionality through the use of properties files. If

you want to implement capacity management as described in this document for the newer NAS

b3000 v2 or NAS e7000 v2, you must delete the properties files for these devices. As a result,

discovery and health monitoring for the earlier v1.0 versions will no longer be supported. Capacity

management is not supported for the NAS b2000, NAS b3000 v1, or NAS e7000 v1 in either the

properties files or host agent-based implementations.

About HP OpenView Storage Area Manager

The Storage Area Manager solution includes a management server, one or more clients, and

one or more SAN hosts.

The management server software is installed on a Windows 2000 system.

The management client is a Windows 2000, Windows XP, HP-UX, Linux, or Sun Solaris host

on which the Storage Area Manager user interface is installed. You access and run Storage

Area Manager from the management clients.

Storage Area Manager also employs host agent software on each SAN host. Once installed, the

host agent enables communication between the server and the storage devices that are

connected to the host. Storage Area Manager supports HP Windows-powered NAS servers as

Windows hosts.

The Storage Area Manager software suite consists of five applications:

■Storage Node Manager, for device management

■Storage Builder, for capacity management

■Storage Optimizer, for performance management

■Storage Allocator, for storage allocation and virtualized access control

■Storage Accountant, for storage usage metering and billing.

These applications function individually and together to enable integrated storage resource,

application capacity, and infrastructure management.

About the HP StorageWorks NAS family

Network Attached Storage (NAS) servers are specialized file-serving devices that provide

high-capacity support for heterogeneous files. A NAS solution provides network-accessible

storage to clients and servers running different operating systems.

HP offers a full range of NAS solutions that satisfy storage needs in diverse environments,

from large enterprises to small and medium businesses. All HP StorageWorks NAS solutions

provide scalability, continuous data availability, and high-performance block and file serving.

The HP StorageWorks NAS b3000 is an entry point to NAS/SAN configurations, providing

enterprise-level availability with clustered no-single-point-of-failure solutions, scalability up

to 48 TB with embedded switches, and excellent performance for heterogeneous computing

environments.

The HP StorageWorks NAS e7000 delivers performance, scalability, and availability by

providing a gateway to the enterprise SAN for file level data. The NAS e7000 connects to the

industry's broadest range of SAN arrays, fusing NAS and SAN for the enterprise.

The NAS 9000s and 4000s provide higher levels of storage management, data protection,

performance, and print services. These models are based on the Microsoft Windows Storage

Server 2003 operating system, which features quota management and file screening.

The HP StorageWorks NAS 9000s delivers NAS storage with multi-protocol file support and

storage management for the enterprise environment. It provides simple, rapidly deployable,

and flexible storage that can be managed remotely. NAS 9000s features include Volume

Shadow Copy Service for data protection and Microsoft Quota for storage usage control.

The HP StorageWorks NAS 4000s provides storage management benefits similar to the NAS

9000s, but for workgroups and regional offices.

For more information, refer to the NAS product documents at

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/networkattached.html

The rest of this document describes how to join NAS and Storage Area Manager functionality

to manage capacity in NAS server configurations.

Installing the host agent on the NAS server

8 Capacity Management for StorageWorks NAS Servers Application Notes

Installing the host agent on the NAS server

To take advantage of combined NAS and Storage Area Manager features, you must first install

the Storage Area Manager host agent. In general, installing the host agent on the NAS server

follows the procedures documented in the HP OpenView Storage Area Manager Installation

Guide and Storage Area Manager online help.

This section discusses special considerations for the host agent installation, including:

■Installation prerequisites, page 8

■Installing the host agent software, page 9

■Deleting the properties files, page 10

■Launching the NAS server software, page 10

Installation prerequisites

Before you install the host agent, ensure that you have the following:

■The Windows deployment depot installed on the Storage Area Manager management

server (required for remote installation of the host agent on the NAS server)

The deployment depot is part of a typical Storage Area Manager installation. Refer to the

HP OpenView Storage Area Manager Installation Guide for details.

■Storage Area Manager v3.1 CD-ROM (required for local installation of the host agent on

the NAS server)

■HP OpenView Storage Area Manager Installation Guide, available from

http://ovweb.external.hp.com/lpe/doc_serv/

If Storage Area Manager has already discovered the NAS server and displayed it under the

NAS Devices node, complete the following steps before installing the host agent:

1. Click Tools > Configure > SNMP Discovery Range and remove the NAS IP address

from the SNMP discovery range.

2. Right-click the NAS entry under the NAS Devices node and delete it.

Note: When a NAS server is displayed under the NAS Devices node, you can access the NAS

software directly from the Storage Area Manager interface. However, after installing the host agent

and configuring a NAS server as a Windows host, you must log on separately to the NAS server to

use its software. For more information, see “Launching the NAS server software” on page 10.

Installing the host agent on the NAS server

9Capacity Management for StorageWorks NAS Servers Application Notes

Installing the host agent software

Storage Area Manager provides two methods for installing the host agent:

■Install the host agent remotely from the management server to each SAN host

■Install the host agent locally from the Storage Area Manager CD

The NAS servers support both installation methods.

Remote installation

To install the Windows host agent remotely from the Storage Area Manager management

server to a NAS b3000 v2 or a NAS e7000 v2, follow the instructions in the HP OpenView

Storage Area Manager Installation Guide and Storage Area Manager online help.

Before remotely installing the Windows host agent from the Storage Area Manager

management server to a NAS 4000s or a NAS 9000s, you must enable the Remote Registry

Service, which is disabled by default on these NAS servers. The Remote Registry Service must

also be enabled before updating or uninstalling the host agent remotely.

To enable the Remote Registry Service on the NAS server:

1. Open the Computer Management tool on the NAS server.

2. Click Services and Applications, and then click Services.

3. Right-click Remote Registry.

4. Click Start.

5. Close Computer Management.

Note: Ensure that the Remote Registry Service is enabled in all of your Windows group policies.

Proceed with installing the host agent software as documented in the HP OpenView Storage

Area Manager Installation Guide and Storage Area Manager online help.

To improve security and performance on the NAS server after remotely installing, updating, or

uninstalling the host agent, HP recommends that you disable the Remote Registry Service

again.

Local lnstallation

To install the host agent locally on any of the supported NAS servers, use the Storage Area

Manager v3.1 CD-ROM. Follow the instructions for installing the host agent locally on

Windows hosts as documented in the HP OpenView Storage Area Manager Installation Guide.

Installing the host agent on the NAS server

10 Capacity Management for StorageWorks NAS Servers Application Notes

Deleting the properties files

After installing the host agent on the NAS server, but before performing a discovery, HP

recommends that you delete the NAS properties files on the Storage Area Manager

management server. This precautionary measure will prevent the NAS host from appearing

under both the Hosts and NAS Devices nodes.

Caution: When you delete the properties files, you lose Storage Area Manager support of

legacy NAS devices (b2000, b3000 v1, and e7000 v1). If you want to continue using

Storage Area Manager for discovery and health monitoring of these legacy devices, you

should not delete the properties files. If you choose to retain these files, you will not be able

to configure the new NAS versions (b3000 v2, e7000 v2, 4000s and 9000s) as Storage

Area Manager hosts.

To delete the properties files:

1. On the Storage Area Manager management server, navigate to the following directory:

\sanmgr\managementserver\devices\properties

2. Delete the following properties files, which correspond to the NAS servers:

■COMPAQ_B2000.DEF

■COMPAQ_B3000.DEF

■COMPAQ_E7000.DEF

Launching the NAS server software

After installing the host agent, you cannot launch the NAS server software directly from

Storage Area Manager. When you want to perform NAS administration tasks, access the Web

interface as follows:

1. Open a Web browser and enter the following in the address box:

https://your NAS machine name or IP Address:3202/

2. Log on with your NAS user name and password.

The default user name is Administrator. The default password is hpinvent. Online help is

available by clicking the Help tab on the main screen.
