De-installing a HP 3PAR Storage Server

To de-install a HP 3PAR Storage System, connect to the console port of a storage
node. The serial port is only used for specific management function not available via
the Service Processor or the CLI or Management Console. One of the specific
functions is the installation and de-installing of the storage system.
Take care when selecting options while in 3PAR Console Menu. Some options are
customer data destructive and not reversible. Never execute a command or menu
option without fully understanding the result.

The storage system initialization script called oobt (out of the box) procedure can only
be started on an uninitialized system.
To prepare the system (delete user date and storage configuration information) the
option” 6 Set up the system to wipe and rerun ootb ” have to be started. This is also
the standard procedure to prepare a 3PAR storage system to rerun ootb.
In this lab a deinstalation will be performed first, were you have the option to delete
and overwrite all chunklets. This can take hours or up to days depend on the raw disk
capacity. To perform a deinstallation you have to select option 8 twice and you have to
reset all nodes manually.
Note:
The Deinstallation has to be perform on HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000

Exercise 2: Setting up the Service Processor using the Moment-

of-Birth (MOB) script.
The Service Processor (SP) enables the service provider to locally and remotely
monitor and service the storage system.
To rebuild the Service Processor, the following steps are required:
 Installation of the Base OS and the Service Processor Software.
 Starting the Moment Of Birth process
 Installing 3PAR InForm OS files
 Adding an InServ Storage Server to the Service Processor
A new Service Processor is preinstalled with the Base OS and the SP Software.
During the setup of a new 3PAR Storage System, only the Moment-Of-Birth process
has to be started and the proper version of the 3PAR InForm OS version has to be
installed.
These are the requirement to add the HP 3PAR Storage to the Service Processor.
The whole rebuild of an SP is only required during troubleshooting, SP replacement,
or if the Secure Site setting has to be changed.
If it is required to rebuild the Service Processor, it is best to connected to the Service
Processor via KVM and the serial port.
Power-on the Service Processor with the rebuild DVD installed and follows the
instruction on the video screen or just press ENTER on the keyboard. Monitor the
progress of the rebuild process on the serial line connection. After approximately 30
minutes the login prompt will allow you to login on the serial line connection and to
start the MOB process.
The SP rebuild cannot be done in a remote lab environment because manual
intervention is required.
Rev. 14.11 L -23

Installation of the Base OS and the Service Processor Software (Example)

To rebuild the Service Processor Software you need physical access to the Service
Processor.
The next three steps are already done as part of the Virtual Lab setup.
1. Connect to the Service Processor serial interface.
2. Insert the Service Processor base image CD or DVD into the Service Processor
CD-ROM drive, and then reboot the Service Processor.
3. At the boot prompt enter 38400 if a SuperMicro II system gets rebuilded or just
Enter.
If the Service Processor is rebuild the SP will reboot automatically (30 min).
The Service Processor is now ready to run MOB.

Spare Chunklet Management

Physical disks are divided into chunklets. When a physical disk is admitted to the
system, it is divided into chunklets that become available to the system. Some
chunklets are used by logical disks and other chunklets are designated as spares to
hold relocated data during a disk failure or during maintenance procedures.
Creating, moving, and removing chunklets and spares can only be performed with the
HP 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI).
Viewing chunklets and spares can be performed with both the HP 3PAR InForm
Command Line Interface (CLI) and the HP 3PAR Management Console.
The default for spare space is to ensure 1 Drive worth of space, in terms of spare
Chunklets, (of the largest Drive) for every 40 Drives, with a minimum of 4 Drives worth
of space assigned to sparing.
7. Check the available chunklet by using the showpd –c command.

Lab 5: Guided Maintenance
Objectives

 Use the FRU Remove/Replace function of the HP Partner Service Media Library
to get familiar with the different Guided Maintenance tasks.
 Use Guided Maintenance to Remove/Replace Field Replaceable Units (FRU).
Introduction
Maintenance activities have been scripted so that engineers do not need to use
maintenance manuals or enter any commands.
System status is derived on entry to each script and appropriate command output is
presented. Images relate to the specific system configuration (where possible) and
two types of maintenance log files are created and transferred to 3PAR Central at the
conclusion of each script.
In this lab activity, the FRU Remove/Replace resource of the HP Service Media
Library will be used.
You will be working with your lab partners for this exercise
session by sharing his/her desktop. For every exercise, a different student should
drive the exercise.

Lab 6: Replace FRUs using CLI
Objectives
 Describe were you can find all the required information to replace FRUs without
using Guided Maintenance Procedures.
 Identify the steps required to replace any FRU using CLI commands.
Introduction
Guided maintenance scripts are provided with the Service Processor to help facilitate
the removal and replacement of Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). The maintenance
scripts execute all Command Line Interface (CLI) commands required to be able to
replace the failed component without compromising the system integrity. This
minimizes user errors when performing maintenance activities.
In case the Guided Maintenance script cannot be used, service commands are
available to support the maintenance task. To minimize user error when performing
maintenance procedures with the service command, see the P10000 Storage System
Maintenance Manual.
Please refer to the HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 Storage Maintenance Manual.
Caution:
This is a reading exercise. Beside of show commands don’t start any
maintenance activity on the remote lab environment unless directed by
the lab exercise or instructor.
The risk to put the system in an unusable state is very high, if you
don’t have physical access to the system.
Rev. 14.11 L -77

Make yourself familiar with the different replacement procedures and maybe go
back to the replacement videos of HP Partner Services Media Library.
21. You will notice the Service Commands used during maintenance activities.

Lab 7: Disk and Disk shelf upgrade
Objectives
 Identify steps to add disk to an existing 3PAR Storage System
 Identify steps to add disk chassis to an existing 3PAR Storage System
 Rebalance the storage system
Introduction
In order to upgrade a 3PAR Storage System you have to make sure that after the
upgrade you will maintain at least the same availability level as before. To avoid hot
spots always try have a balanced system were the load is equally spread across all
hardware components. To achieve this, you have to follow the configuration guidelines
of 3PAR storage systems.
After an upgrade you have to tune the storage system that also existing volumes
benefit from the new hardware.
Use the HP 3PAR StoreServ Configuration Guide and HP 3PAR/P10000 3PAR

Storage Server Upgrades Guide as reference.
Note:
Due to the fact that you don’t have access to hardware, you have to
use the videos of the HP Services Media Library to see the manual
operation required to install and replace hardware components.

2. Use the Guided Maintenance simulation of the HP Services Media Library to

walk through the steps required to add a new drive magazine.
3. Review the required steps how to install a drive using the HP 3PAR Storage
Server Upgrades Guide and check the FRU videos of the HP Partner Services
Media Library.
Rev. 14.11 L -83

Disk shelf upgrade
4. Use the HP 3PAR Configuration Guide to verify the minimum supported

increment of drive chassis for your system.
5. Identify the “Installing Additional Drive Chassis” chapter of the upgrade manual
and read through.
6. A cage ID and a cage name get assigned automatically if you add or replace a
cage. Cage Id will never be reused; a new cage or replacement cage will get just
the next higher ID.
So the cage ID cannot be used to identify the location of the cage within the rack.
Configure the position information instead.
7. Assign position information to the cage with the
setcage position <“free format text here” > cage _ command.
8. To get the position information user the showcage –d command.
Note:
The position information you enter is not verified by the system.
Whenever it is required to safely locate a cage within the rack use the
locate feature of the system.

Lab 8: Node Rescue
Objectives

 Identify steps to prepare for a Node Rescue
 Perform an Auto Node to Node Rescue
Introduction
Node Rescue is used to restore the internal disk of a node. This can be the case if the
disk in a failed node is questionable and replaced by a blank disk.
In order to use auto-node rescue, the storage system must have at least one
operating node and the node to be rescued must have an active Ethernet connection
to this node.
Auto node rescue requires that an Ethernet cable is connected to the node to be
rescued prior to insertion, along with the currently configured Ethernet connections on
the running nodes.
Note:
Always perform the automatic node to node rescue procedures unless
otherwise instructed.
When performing auto node to node rescue, there may be instances
where a node is to be rescued by another node that has been inserted
but has not been detected. If this happens, issue the CLI command,
startnoderescue –node <nodenum>.
If a Node Rescue operation is running use the showtask -d command to view

detailed status regarding the node rescue.
To manually initiate a Node to Node Rescue you have to halt the node which you like
to rescue first.

Since you only have two CPG’s so far, you can simply fill any of the two tiers
given.
Note:
Tier 0 is your highest tier. Therefore, you can enter your fastest CPG
here. Or you can leave it empty in case you plan to add a faster CPG in
the future.
