11 1 VSA requirements Before beginning the software installation, ensure that the ESX Server meets the following requirements: Available drive space of up to 10 TB per VSA 1, 2 or 4GB of memory reserved depending on the VSA disk capacity Table 2 Memory requirements Total capacity of all installed disks Less than 500GB 500GB 4.5TB 4.5TB 9TB 9TB 10TB Minimum required memory 384MB 1GB 2GB 3GB Two full CPU cores available A Gigabit Ethernet or internal network environment See the list below for additional information: You must designate a host name for the VSA. Plan the network configuration, including an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the VSA, or use DHCP. NOTE: The use of DHCP is not recommended for VSA implementations. Have a virtual switch comprised of dual Gigabit Ethernet or more. Providing network redundancy and greater bandwidth improves both performance and reliability. Ensure the ethernet or network environment is located on the same virtual switch as the VMkernel network used for iscsi traffic. This allows for a portion of iscsi I/O to be served directly from the VSA to the iscsi initiator without using a physical network. Ensure the ethernet or network environment is on a virtual switch that is separate from the VMkernel network used for VMotion. This prevents VMotion traffic and VSA I/O traffic from interfering with each other and affecting performance. The server is configured to automatically start before any other virtual machines, when the ESX Server on which it resides is started. This ensures that the VSA is brought back online as soon as possible to automatically re-join its SAN/IQ cluster.

12 12 VSA requirements

13 2 Supported configurations The following are supported configurations. Storage configuration inside the enclosure There are two storage configurations inside the enclosure. Excess capacity from local server blade drives creates the shared storage pool. Install HP LeftHand VSA software in a virtual machine on a VMware ESX Server host adjacent to the SB40c, creating an iscsi SAN out of the SB40c. The SB40c can also provide VM data stores to other VMs running on the adjacent server blade. The configuration for using excess capacity from local server blade drives to create the shared storage pool is shown below.

37 5 Best practices Replication HP recommends that the Network RAID level be a minimum of two to ensure high availability of your data. Volumes and snapshots The management group contains 1,001 to 1,500 volumes and snapshots. The Configuration Summary displays orange when there are between 1,001 and 1,500 volumes and snapshots. When more than 1,500 volumes and snapshots appear a warning triggers by turning that line red. As soon as the total number reduces below the boundary, the summary bar returns to the previous indicator, either orange or green. iscsi sessions The optimum number of iscsi sessions connected to volumes in a management group ranges up to 4,000. If the management group contains 4,001 to 5,000 iscsi sessions, the Configuration display for that line turns orange. iscsi sessions trigger a warning by turning that line red. As soon as the total number of iscsi sessions reduces below the boundary, the summary bar returns to the previous indicator, either orange or green. Storage nodes in the Management Group The optimum number of storage nodes in a management group ranges up to 20. If the management group contains 21 to 30 storage nodes, the Configuration Summary displays orange for that line of the management group. Over 30 storage nodes triggers a warning by turning that line red. As soon as the total number of storage nodes reduces below the boundary, the summary bar returns to the previous indicator, either orange or green. Storage nodes in the cluster The optimum number of storage nodes in a cluster ranges up to 10. If the cluster contains 11 to 16 storage nodes, the Configuration Summary displays orange for that line of the management group. Over 16 storage nodes in a cluster triggers a warning by turning that line red. As soon as the total number of storage nodes reduces below the boundary, the summary bar returns to the previous indicator, either orange or green. HP recommends that a minimum of three (3) VSAs be installed. This configuration will not require a Failover Manager VM. If two (2) VSAs are installed, a third VM for the Failover Manager will be required. The Failover Manager should be installed on an ESX Server that does not have a VSA installed on it.
