Lab Exercise 4: Configuring SnapView Snapshots

A snapshot is a virtual LUN that when activated, allows a secondary server to view a point-in-time copy of a source LUN. An active snapshot is a composite of a source LUN and reserved LUN data that lasts until you destroy the snapshot. Each snapshot is linked to a source LUN(s). If the storage system loses power while the SnapView session is running both the session and snapshot would survive the storage system power failure, as long as all sessions run in persistent mode. Writes to an active snapshot from a secondary server are stored in the reserved LUN pool until the snapshot is deactivated. When a secondary server deactivates the snapshot, the software destroys all writes made to the snapshot.
Purpose:
Objectives:
In this exercise, students will: Create Snapshots using the Wizard Remove Snapshots

Lab Exercise 5: Configuring SnapView Clones
Purpose:
A clone is a complete copy of a source LUN. You specify a source LUN when you create a clone group. The copy of the source LUN begins when you add a clone LUN to the clone group. The software assigns each clone a clone ID. This ID remains with the clone until you remove the clone from its group. While the clone is part of the clone group and unfractured, any production write requests made to the source LUN are simultaneously copied to the clone. Once the clone contains the desired data, you can fracture the clone. Fracturing the clone separates it from its source LUN, after which you can make it available to a secondary server.
Objectives:
In this exercise, students will: Create Clones with the Wizard Use Clone commands Remove Clones

Lab Exercise 7: Creating Synchronous and Asynchronous
Mirrors
Purpose:
A remote mirror consists of a primary image and up to two secondary images. The production image (the one mirrored) is called the primary image; the copy image is called the secondary image. MirrorView/S supports up to two remote images. Each image resides on a separate storage system. The primary image receives I/O from a server called the production server; a separate storage system maintains the secondary image. This storage system can optionally have a failover/standby computer connected to it or can be connected to its own computer system. Both storage systems can be in different domains, which you manage with the User Interface (UI). The client that is managing the storage system containing the primary images can fail over to the secondary image if the primary image becomes inaccessible. In the previous labs, you created RAID Groups, Storage Groups attached hosts, and created Clones and Snaps. CLARiiONs arrays support two (2) types of mirrors - Synchronous and Asynchronous. The creation of RAID Groups Storage Groups and LUNs should have already been done on BOTH ARRAYS.
Objectives:
In this exercise, students will: Create a Synchronous Mirror Remove a Synchronous Mirror Create an Asynchronous Mirror Remove an Asynchronous Mirror

Page 41 of 50
Step 5
Action Expand and examine the following containers on the Primary ( cx4-Top-90) and Secondary (cx4-Bott-92) arrays LUN Folders > Private LUNs LUN Folders > SP A and SP B 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. 6 On the Primary array (cx4-Top-90) open the Remote Mirrors container and expand out all options. Right click on the Secondary Image and note the options. Click Promote, read the Warning message, click Yes, then OK. Did the Primary and Secondary Mirrors switch states? Try promoting the Primary image. What happened? 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 click Remove. Right click on the Mirror Name and click Destroy.

Lab Exercise 8: Expanding LUNs and Migrating LUNs
Version 3.28
Page 44 of 50
Purpose:
Expanding LUNs on a CLARiiON is how you can increase the capacity of an existing LUN You must first create a LUN to use for the base metaLUN. MetaLUNs can be created using two methods The LUN migration feature lets you move the data in one LUN or metaLUN to another LUN or metaLUN. You might do this to change the type of drive the data is stored on (for example, from more economical ATA to faster FC, or vice-versa), to select a RAID type that better matches the data usage, and/or recreate a LUN with more disk space.
Objectives:
In this exercise, students will: Expand a LUN using Stripe Expansion Expand a LUN using Concatenation expansion Migrate LUNs
