Lab Description
Purpose:
This lab is designed to familiarize the user with the configuration and management of a CLARiiON Storage System using the Navisphere Manager Graphical User Interface (GUI). The Navisphere Manager GUI is very robust in its ability to provide the necessary information for day-to-day management of a CLARiiON data storage environment, while providing an easy to use, Windows look and feel. This lab will walk the user through the steps necessary to create and allocate data storage on a CLARiiON Storage System as well as acquaint the user with optional CLARiiON software that allows for disaster recovery and staging data for online data backups. This lab provides step-by-step directions for configuring a CLARiiON using Navisphere Manager 6.x. The revision of Navisphere Simulator is based on Release 26 of CLARiiON base code. Note the Simulator does not contain the entire features/function set like the real Navisphere Manager product. If at any time the Simulator appears frozen or non responsive, exit the application and Launch it again. 1. This simulator supports only version JRE 1.6.x. If no JRE is present the Simulator will install one automatically when user opens the application for first time 2. Reporting wizard will create the html reports under c:\. 3. A Reset option has been provided in the Simulator once installed. It appears in the menu item like this
4. Uninstall option is also included in Simulator as shown above. 5. The read me text file is in the install folder for support of JRE 1.6.x 6. Help file has been updated to reflect all wizard modules.

Expand and examine the following containers on the Primary ( cx3-40-top) and Secondary (cx3-40-BOTTOM) arrays Private LUNs under LUN Folders SPs Storage Groups Remote Mirrors
Note: The write intent log keeps track of writes that have not yet been made to the remote image for the mirror. It allows for fast recovery when the primary storage system fails. When the primary fails and is recovered, the write intent log is used to synchronize the data on the remote image. Otherwise, a full resynchronization would be required for the remote image. In situations where you must replace the primary storage system due to a catastrophic failure, you can use a promotion to access data on the secondary storage system. To recover and restore I/O access, you must promote a secondary mirror image to the role of primary mirror image, so that a server can access it.
3.
On the Primary array open the Remote Mirrors container and expand out all options. Right click on the Secondary Image name and note the options. Click Promote, read the next 2 screen. Did the Primary and Secondary Mirrors switch states? Try promoting the Primary image Promote the secondary image back to Primary Right click on the secondary image and Fracture the mirror. Did the state change? Right click on the secondary image and Remove it Right click on the Mirror Name and Destroy the Mirror.

Summary
In this lab, you used Navisphere Manager to configure two CLARiiON Storage Systems. In the process of implementing the configuration you: Configured RAID Groups on two CLARiiON Storage Systems to allow for binding LUNs of a particular RAID type Bound LUNs on the new RAID Groups to create disk resources for the host computers and implement the RAID protection for data Populated Storage Groups with host computer and LUNs to allow the host computers access to disk resources create on the CLARiiON Storage Systems Created a Clone within one of the CLARiiON Storage Systems to allow for easy backup of the data without impacting the production LUNs performance Created SnapShots for multiple LUNs to facilitate easy backups without the high resource overhead required by Clones Created MirrorView Synchronous and Asynchronous Mirror Replicas Created San Copy Full and Incremental Replicas Created Striped and Concatenated metaLUNs Migrated an existing LUN to another LUN
