Pair/Consistency Group.
Step 5 (Optional) Verify HyperMetro configuration.
1. Log in to the host to view the mapped LUNs.

2. Simulate a device fault, for example, cancel the LUN mapping of storage device 01,
and check whether the HyperMetro LUNs can be read and written properly on the
host.
Procedure: On the DeviceManager of storage 01, choose Services > LUN/LUN Group >
Unmap. Check whether the LUN resource status on the host is normal and whether the
LUN can be read and written.
In this case, the LUN mapping of storage 01 is canceled, and the host cannot access the
LUN of storage 01. However, the LUN mapping of storage 02 still works, and the host can
still access the LUN of storage 02. In addition, the LUNs of storage devices 01 and 02 are
configured in HyperMetro mode. Therefore, although the LUN of one storage device is
inaccessible, the host can still access the LUN.

environment HyperMetro
Question
 What are the main types of Huawei storage HyperMetro architecture?
[Suggested Answer]
 There are two types of Huawei storage HyperMetro logical architecture: local DC deployment and cross-DC deployment.
1. Local data center deployment: In most cases, data centers are deployed in different equipment rooms in the same
industrial park. Hosts are deployed in cluster mode. Hosts and storage devices communicate with each other through
switches, which can be either FC or IP switches. In addition, HyperMetro mirroring channels are deployed between the
storage devices to ensure that the HyperMetro services can run properly.
2. Cross-DC deployment: Two data centers are deployed in the same city or adjacent cities, with their physical distance
less than 300 km. Both are running and can carry the same services at the same time, improving the overall service
capability and system resource utilization of the data centers. If a single point failure occurs, services are automatically
switched to the other DC. In the scenario of cross-DC deployment with long-distance transmission (a minimum of 80
km for IP networking and 25 km for FC networking), dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) devices must be
deployed to ensure a short transmission latency. In addition, HyperMetro mirroring channels are deployed
between the storage devices to ensure that the HyperMetro services can run properly.
Task 1: Setting Up the Test Environment
 Check the test environment before configuration.
 Install the multipathing software.
 Install and configure the quorum server software.
Question
 What are the differences between the static priority mode and the quorum server mode?
[Suggested Answer]
 If no quorum server is configured or the quorum server is inaccessible, HyperMetro works in static priority mode. When
an arbitration occurs, the preferred site in a HyperMetro pair wins the arbitration and provides services.
 If a link between storage arrays is disconnected or the site that is set as the non-preferred site in a HyperMetro pair breaks down, LUNs
at the preferred site continue to provide HyperMetro services while LUNs at the non-preferred site stop providing HyperMetro services.
 If the site that is set as the preferred site in a HyperMetro pair breaks down, the non-preferred site cannot automatically take over
HyperMetro services. As a result, the HyperMetro services are stopped. You need to forcibly start the HyperMetro services at the non-
preferred site.
 An independent physical server or VM is used as a quorum server. It is recommended that the quorum server be deployed
at a dedicated site that is in a different fault domain from the two data centers. In this way, when a disaster occurs in a
single data center, the quorum server still works.
 In quorum server mode, in the event of a DC failure or link disconnection between the storage systems, each storage
system sends an arbitration request to the quorum server, and only the winner continues providing services. The preferred
site takes precedence in arbitration.
Task 2: Configuring HyperMetro
 Check the configuration process.
 Add a remote device.
 Create a HyperMetro domain.
 Create a HyperMetro pair and a HyperMetro consistency group.
 (Optional) Verify HyperMetro configuration.
Question
 What is the function of a remote replication consistency group? How can I configure a consistency group
when no consistency group needs to be created?
 A remote replication consistency group (CG) ensures that the secondary LUNs of all remote replication pairs in the CG
are at the same point in time. In this way, availability of data backup and recovery can be ensured when a host writes
data to multiple primary LUNs. After remote replication pairs are added to a consistency group, you can perform
operations only on the consistency group rather than the pairs in the consistency group.
 If services are associated between the primary LUN and other LUNs, create a consistency group. If the primary LUN is
independent and not associated with other LUNs, you can create a pair without creating a consistency group.
 You can also use DeviceManager to configure a remote replication pair. For details, see Documentation (of your product)

version) > Configuring HyperMetro > Creating a HyperMetro Domain > Creating a HyperMetro Pair/Consistency

Task 1: HyperMetro Management and O&M
 Modify a HyperMetro domain.
 Delete a quorum server.
 Uninstall the quorum server.
 Manage a HyperMetro pair.
 Manage a HyperMetro consistency group.
Question
 What is a HyperMetro domain? What precautions should I take when configuring a HyperMetro domain?
 [Suggested Answer]
 A HyperMetro domain is a collection of local and remote devices and a quorum server (which is optional). It defines the
relationships among the local and remote devices as well as the quorum server.
 A remote device provides HyperMetro services at the remote end in a HyperMetro domain. When initial synchronization
is implemented for HyperMetro, the remote device serves as the secondary end for the synchronization.
 A quorum server must be added to the HyperMetro domain if you want to use the quorum server arbitration mode. You
must create a quorum server for the local and remote storage systems so that it can arbitration judgment for host access
in case of a device fault in the HyperMetro domain.
 A quorum server provides arbitration services to determine which site in a HyperMetro domain continues to provide
services when a device fault occurs or a link is disconnected. If no quorum server is configured in a HyperMetro domain,
the preferred site will provide services by default after a fault occurs. If a quorum server is configured, the quorum server
determines which site continues providing services in the event of a fault.

 To be able to know the application scenarios of HyperReplication through case study
 To be able to configure HyperReplication through case study
2.3 Case Background

Note:
A company is considering establishing disaster recovery (DR) protection for the current
services, involving two remote sites. The two sites use Huawei OceanStor all-flash storage
devices, and the license for HyperReplication has been purchased. Now, you need to help
the storage engineers of the company complete the test configuration and function
verification of the HyperReplication feature.
The following figure shows the network topology of the company's storage system.

Figure 2-1

2.4.1 Scenario 1: Initial Configuration
2.4.1.1 Background
To implement HyperReplication DR, the company plans to implement asynchronous
remote replication between the active and standby storage systems through the IP
replication network.
In the initial environment, a file system has been established and mounted for Data_LUN
and Control_LUN on Huawei all-flash storage at the primary site on the host running the
Windows. Services on the two LUNs are consistent. The detailed test configurations are as
follows:

2.4.1.2 Question
What are the differences between synchronous remote replication and asynchronous
remote replication?
2.4.1.3 Task 1: Preparing for the Configuration

Before configuring HyperReplication, you need to sort out the configuration processes and
prepare for the configuration.

Step 1 Check the configuration process.

Sort out the following configuration processes, draw a flowchart, and introduce how to
configure HyperReplication using the flowchart to engineers.
Figure 2-2
Feature Guide > HyperReplication Feature Guide (specific to your product model and
version) > Configuring HyperReplication > Configuration Process.
Step 2 Prepare for the configuration.

Before configuring HyperReplication, you need to set device information, including the
device name and location, on both the primary and secondary storage devices to
distinguish them. In addition, to ensure that customers have the permission to use
HyperReplication, check that the license file contains the information about this feature.
Before configuring HyperReplication, help engineers change the device name and location
and check the HyperReplication license information.

2.4.1.4 Question
What operations may be involved in the configuration preparation phase?
2.4.1.5 Task 2: Configuring HyperReplication

After the preparations are completed, you can perform the initial configuration of the
HyperReplication feature in this scenario.
Step 1 Add an authentication user of the remote device.

Authentication is a process of checking whether a user has the permission to access the
system. Based on specific service requirements, super administrators can create different
levels of user accounts and grant them only necessary permissions, thereby ensuring
system stability and data security. You can help engineers create a user with the role of the
remote device administrator.
version) > Configuring HyperReplication > Adding an Authentication User.
Step 2 Add a remote device.

Before adding a remote device, ensure that the connection between the local and remote
devices is established. In this scenario, configure the link type of the remote device as IP
link. Therefore, you must ensure that the IP address of the local port of the selected IP link
and the IP address of the front-end port of the remote device are on the same network
segment and can communicate with each other. Help engineers add remote devices whose
link type is IP link.
version) > Configuring HyperReplication > Adding a Remote Device.
Step 3 Create a protection group.

In this scenario, two LUNs with service consistency are involved. You need to create a
protection group to configure the remote replication consistency group. Help engineers
create a protection group for Data_LUN and Control_LUN.

version) > Configuring HyperReplication > Creating PGs.
Step 4 Create an asynchronous remote replication consistency group.

Help engineers create a remote replication consistency group for Data_LUN and
Control_LUN using the protection group created in step 3 and set the replication mode to
Asynchronous.

Creating an Asynchronous Remote Replication CG.
2.4.1.6 Question
What is the function of a remote replication consistency group? How can I configure a
consistency group when no consistency group needs to be created?
2.4.1.7 Discussion
In the preceding scenarios, HyperReplication is configured based on block storage services.
In actual applications, storage devices can also be used to provide file services. Think about
and discuss the following questions:
1. When Huawei all-flash storage devices are used, what is the difference between the
remote replication feature in the file service scenario and that in the block service
scenario?
2. How can I configure HyperReplication for file services? You can try to draw a
flowchart.

2.4.2 Scenario 2: Application and Management

2.4.2.1 Background
After HyperReplication is configured, storage engineers need to understand some routine
management operations. You need to help engineers get familiar with how to manage
remote replication consistency groups.
2.4.2.2 Task 1: Managing a Remote Replication Consistency Group

Step 1 Modify a remote replication consistency group.
Link compression is an inline compression technology. In asynchronous remote replication,
data is compressed in advance on the primary device before being transferred. Then the
compressed data is decompressed on the secondary device after being received, reducing
the bandwidth required for data transfer. To reduce the bandwidth required for data
transfer, engineers intend to enable the link compression function. Help them modify the
remote replication consistency group and enable the link compression function.
version) > Managing a Remote Replication CG > Modifying a Remote Replication CG.
Step 2 Synchronize a remote replication consistency group.

At some points in time, you need to manually start synchronization for all remote
replication pairs in the consistency group to ensure that the data on the primary and
secondary LUNs of each remote replication pair in the consistency group keeps consistent
at the synchronization point in time. Help engineers synchronize the remote replication
consistency group.
version) > Managing a Remote Replication CG > Synchronizing a Remote Replication
CG.

Step 3 Split a consistency group.

After a remote replication consistency group is split, all remote replication pairs in the
consistency group are split at the same time to generate a complete copy of the secondary
LUNs of all remote replication pairs at a specific point in time. Help engineers splitting the
remote replication consistency group.
version) > Managing a Remote Replication CG > Splitting a Remote Replication CG.
Step 4 Enable or disable protection for the secondary resources of a consistency group.
After protection for the secondary resources of a consistency group is enabled, data cannot
be written to the secondary resources, ensuring data security of the secondary resources.
After protection for the secondary resources in a consistency group is disabled, data can be
written to the secondary resources again. Help engineers get familiar with how to enable
and disable protection for the secondary resources of a consistency group.
version) > Managing a Remote Replication CG > Enabling/Disabling Protection for the
Secondary Resource in a Remote Replication CG.
Step 5 Perform a primary/secondary switchover for a consistency group.

When the primary LUNs in a consistency group fail, you can initiate a primary/secondary
switchover to enable the secondary LUNs to become the new primary LUNs, taking over
services from the original primary LUNs to ensure service continuity. Help engineers
perform a primary/secondary switchover for the consistency group.

version) > Managing a Remote Replication CG > Performing a Primary/Secondary
Switchover for a Remote Replication CG.
2.4.2.3 Question
How can I verify the configuration of a remote replication consistency group?
2.4.2.4 Task 2: Managing Protection Groups

Step 1 Add or remove LUNs.
In some scenarios, you need to add LUNs to a protection group to increase storage capacity
or remove unnecessary LUNs from a protection group to release storage space. Instruct
engineers to add LUNs to or remove LUNs from a protection group.
version) > Managing PGs > Adding/Removing a LUN.
Step 2 Modify protection groups.

You may need to modify the basic information about a protection group based on actual
service requirements. Help engineers change the name of the protection group to PG_test.
version) > Managing PGs > Modifying PGs.
2.4.2.5 Question
What are the differences between a LUN group and a protection group?
2.4.2.6 Task 3: Deleting and Clearing

Step 1 Delete a consistency group.

If you do not need to uniformly manage remote replication through a consistency group,
you can delete the consistency group. Instruct engineers to delete a remote replication
consistency group.
version) > Managing a Remote Replication CG > Deleting a Remote Replication CG.
Step 2 Delete a protection group.

Question
 What are the differences between synchronous remote replication and asynchronous remote replication?
 They are implemented in different ways and applied to different service scenarios.
 Implementation methods: In synchronous remote replication mode, when data is written to a primary resource, the write request is also sent
to a secondary resource. After both the primary and secondary resources return a write success response, the storage system sends a write
success message to the host. In this way, data on the primary resource is kept consistent with that on the secondary resource, preventing data
loss in the event of a disaster. In asynchronous remote replication mode, when data is written to the primary resource, the primary site
records the modified data. After the primary resource returns a write success response, the primary site returns a write success response to
the host. When the amount of modified data reaches a certain value, all modified data is synchronized to the secondary resource of the
remote storage device at a time.
 Application scenarios: Synchronous remote replication has high requirements for bandwidth and data latency. Therefore, synchronous remote
replication mainly applies to DR scenarios where the primary and secondary devices are close to each other, for example, intra-city DR and
backup. Asynchronous remote replication has low requirements for bandwidth and data latency. Therefore, it applies to DR scenarios where
the primary and secondary devices are far from each other or the network bandwidth is limited.
Task 1: Preparing for the Configuration
 Check the configuration process.
 Prepare for the configuration.
Question
 What operations may be involved in the configuration preparation phase?
 If you find that the HyperReplication feature is unavailable when checking the license
information, import and activate the HyperReplication license on the storage system before
using it.
 Before configuring the HyperReplication feature, you need to select a replication port.
HyperReplication supports data transmission through fiber channel (FC) ports or Ethernet
ports. In actual networking, you need to consider the characteristics of FC or Ethernet ports,
bandwidth, latency, network quality, and security to ensure link efficiency and stability during
data transmission.
Task 2: Configuring HyperReplication
 Add an authentication user of the remote device.
 Add a remote device.
 Create a protection group.
 Create an asynchronous remote replication consistency group.
Question
 What is the function of a remote replication consistency group? How can I configure a consistency group
when no consistency group needs to be created?
 A HyperReplication consistency group (CG) ensures that the secondary LUNs of all remote replication pairs in the CG are
at the same point in time. In this way, availability of data backup and recovery can be ensured when a host writes data to
multiple primary LUNs. After remote replication pairs are added to a consistency group, you can perform operations only
on the consistency group rather than the pairs in the consistency group.
 If services are associated between the primary LUN and other LUNs, create a consistency group. If the primary LUN is
independent and not associated with other LUNs, you can create a pair without creating a consistency group.
 You can also use DeviceManager to configure a remote replication pair. For details, see Documentation (of your product)
> Configuration & Commissioning > Feature Guide > HyperReplication Feature Guide (specific to your product model
and version) > Configuring HyperReplication > Creating a Remote Replication Pair.
Discussion
 In the preceding scenarios, HyperReplication is configured based on block storage
services. In actual applications, storage devices can also be used to provide file services.
Think about and discuss the following questions:
 When Huawei all-flash storage devices are used, what is the difference between the remote
replication feature in the file service scenario and that in the block service scenario?
 How can I configure HyperReplication for file services? You can try to draw a flowchart.

 Enable or disable protection for the secondary resources of a consistency group.
 Perform a primary/secondary switchover for a consistency group.
Question
 How can I verify the configuration of a remote replication consistency group?
 You can view the running status of a remote replication consistency group and determine
whether to synchronize, split, or perform a primary/secondary switchover for the group based
on the status. After the operation is complete, you can log in to the host mapped by the
primary or secondary storage device to perform read and write operations and verify the
configuration.
 For details, see Documentation (of your product) > Configuration & Commissioning >

 To verify the configuration of a remote replication consistency group, you need to map all
primary and secondary LUNs in the consistency group to the host. You can perform an
experiment if possible.
Task 2: Managing Protection Groups
 Add or remove LUNs.
 Modify protection groups.
Question
 What are the differences between a LUN group and a protection group?
 LUN groups are used in mapping scenarios. You can divide LUN groups based on hosts or
applications.
 Protection groups are used to protect data in consistency groups. You can plan data protection
policies based on applications, select different data protection policies for different
components in applications, and protect LUNs that apply to the same protection scenario in
multiple applications in a unified manner.
 For example, to protect LUNs that apply to the same protection scenario in multiple
applications in a unified manner, you can combine the LUNs into a LUN group, map the LUN
group to a host or host group, and create a protection group for the LUN group.

(unavailable), will the online services of the application server be affected?

2.4.2 Scenario 2: Migrating Services from Heterogeneous Storage

Systems
2.4.2.1 Background
After service LUNs are taken over from the original storage device with the
SmartVirtualization feature, you need to use the SmartMigration feature to migrate data
from the service LUNs to the new storage device.
2.4.2.2 Question
How is load balancing implemented for SmartVirtualization?
2.4.2.3 Task 1: Migrating LUNs

Step 1 Configure SmartMigration.
Assist engineers in configuring SmartMigration and establishing a data migration

relationship between the source LUN (eDevLUN_XXX) and target LUN. You can name the
target LUN MT_eDevLUN_XXX.
For details about operations on DeviceManager, see Configure > SmartMigration Feature
Guide > Configuring SmartMigration in the product documentation.
Step 2 Delete a SmartMigration task.

My Opinion:

Scenario-based Practice of LUN Migration
for Heterogeneous Storage Systems
Background
 To upgrade its enterprise storage systems, a company has purchased a Huawei OceanStor all-flash storage device and the
SmartVirtualization and SmartMigration licenses. Help storage engineers of the company use the new device to take over the
legacy Huawei storage device and migrate data to the new storage device.
 The company plans to use a new Huawei storage device to replace the legacy one. It is planned to use SmartVirtualization to
take over service LUNs on the original storage device. As the customer allows a short service interruption, offline takeover is
used.
 In the initial environment, LUN_SOUR on the original storage device has been mapped and accessible to the Windows host.
The following table lists the test configurations of the original storage device.

Offline Mode
Task 1 Task 2 Task 3 Task 4
Preparing for the Configuring Connections Configuring and Using (Optional) Managing
Configuration Between Storage Devices the eDevLUN Resources in a
Centralized Manner
Question
 In SmartVirtualization, what are online takeover and offline takeover? What are the differences in the masquerading
properties for eDevLUNs between the two modes?
 Offline takeover: During the offline takeover process, connections between heterogeneous storage systems and application servers are down
and services are interrupted temporarily. This mode is applicable to all compatible Huawei and third-party heterogeneous storage systems.
 Online takeover: During the online takeover process, services are not interrupted, ensuring service continuity and data integrity. In this mode,
the critical identity information about heterogeneous LUNs is masqueraded so that multipathing software can automatically identify new
storage systems and switch I/Os to the new storage systems. This remarkably simplifies data migration and minimizes time consumption.
 To perform an offline takeover, you need to suspend services on the application server and the masquerading property of eDevLUNs is No
masquerading. During the online take over of Huawei heterogeneous storage systems, the basic information such as the WWNs of the
eDevLUNs will be replaced with the corresponding information of external LUNs. The masquerading property of eDevLUNs is Basic
masquerading or Extended masquerading. The selection of basic masquerading or extended masquerading depends on the vendor and
version of the multipathing software and the versions of Huawei heterogeneous storage systems. For details, see the product documents of
the corresponding version.
Task 1: Preparing for the Configuration
 Streamline the process.
 Check the license information.
Question
 What are the differences between the online takeover process and offline takeover process when Huawei all-
flash devices are used to take over Huawei storage devices?
 Before configuring online takeover, you need to check whether the information about the application server, original
storage device, and new storage device is normal for a proper online takeover.
 Online takeover switches over host paths to ensure service continuity, while offline takeover does not. During an offline
takeover, eDevLUNs are remapped to the host to implement takeover. Host path switchover is configured to switch the
host path to the path between the application server and the new storage device so that the new storage device can
smoothly carry service data. For details about how to configure host path switchover for online takeover, see the related
 After host path switchover is complete, clear the path switchover property of the masqueraded eDevLUN to convert it
into a common LUN for other online takeover tasks.
 Note: The online takeover procedure is complex and involves high-risk operations. Contact the data migration
service team to evaluate and implement a migration solution.
Task 2: Configuring Connections Between Storage
Devices
 Add an external storage device.
 Configure the original storage device.
 Scan for external LUNs.
Question
 What does "takeover" mean?
 Takeover refers to the mapping of LUNs in a heterogeneous storage system to the
local storage system for use and management.
Task 3: Configuring and Using the eDevLUN
 Create an eDevLUN.
 Manage the eDevLUN.
Question
 What are the differences between external LUNs and eDevLUNs?
 An external LUN is a LUN in a heterogeneous storage system, displayed as a remote LUN on DeviceManager of the local
storage system.
 In the storage pool of a local storage system, the mapped external LUNs are reorganized as raw storage devices based on
a certain data organization form. A raw device is called an eDevLUN. The physical space occupied by an eDevLUN in the
local storage system is merely the storage space needed by the metadata. The service data is still stored on the
heterogeneous storage system. Application servers can use eDevLUNs to access data on external LUNs in the
heterogeneous storage system, and the SmartMigration feature can be configured for the eDevLUNs.
 An eDevLUN consists of data and metadata. A mapping relationship is established between data and metadata.
The physical space needed by data is provided by the external LUN from the heterogeneous storage system. Data does
not occupy the capacity of the local storage system.
Metadata is used to manage storage locations of data on an eDevLUN. The space used to store metadata comes from
the metadata space in the storage pool created in the local storage system. Metadata occupies merely a small amount of
space. Therefore, eDevLUNs occupy a small amount of space in the local storage system.
(Optional) Task 4: Managing Heterogeneous Storage
System Resources in a Centralized Manner
 Establish the mapping between eDevLUNs and application servers.
 (Optional) Scan for LUNs on the application server.
Question
 After the eDevLUN takes over online services, if the original storage device is
faulty (unavailable), will the online services of the application server be
affected?
 Yes, the online services of the application server will be affected. The eDevLUN
involves the metadata space and data space. The data space is on the original
storage device. If the original storage device is faulty (unavailable), the data space of
the eDevLUN is unavailable, and services on the application server are interrupted.
Scenario 2: Migrating Services from Heterogeneous
Storage Systems
Task 1 Task 2
Migrating (Optional) Taking

LUNs Over Services
Question
 How is load balancing implemented for SmartVirtualization?
 Load balancing within a controller and load balancing between controllers are enabled by
default. Users can modify the heterogeneous storage device whitelist to set the path selection
algorithm to define the load balancing policy of the storage device.
 A heterogeneous device whitelist is a list of Huawei's or third-party vendors' devices that
Huawei storage devices can take over. You can configure the whitelist to set the path selection
algorithm used by the local storage device to take over heterogeneous storage devices as well
as failover and failback policies.
Task 1: Migrating LUNs
 Configure SmartMigration.
 Delete a SmartMigration task.
(Optional) Task 2: Taking Over Services
 (Optional) Create the mapping between the application server and the target
LUN.
 (Optional) Use the target LUN on the application server.
Question
 What can I do if a fault (for example, the source LUN or target LUN is faulty)
occurs during LUN migration? What will be done after the fault is rectified?
 When a LUN migration task is interrupted, I/Os are written only to the source LUN
and the data difference is recorded. (If the source LUN is faulty, the source LUN
cannot receive I/O requests from the production host.) After the fault is rectified, the
LUN migration task automatically enters the migrating state, and data is
synchronized to the target LUN in resumable mode. You do not need to manually
resume the task.
Discussion
 Think and discuss how to use Huawei all-flash storage devices to take over
third-party storage devices in offline mode. You can draw a flowchart to
describe the process.
 Note: If conditions permit, you can perform an experiment to verify the result.

Question
 What are the installation modes for distributed storage products?
 Suggested Answer:
 Storage delivery includes two modes: software and hardware integration and software and
hardware separation.
 In the integration mode, the OS and drivers are preinstalled before delivery. When the versions
of the OS and related drivers are consistent with those in the version mapping, you do not
need to install the OS separately. You can directly install OceanStor 100D software using
DeviceManager Client. If the versions of the OS and drivers are different from those in the
version mapping, reinstall the OS and drivers on each node.
 In the separation mode, you need to install the OS and drivers on each node manually.
