Configuring an HBA-1000-M2-1 storage controller
|

NOTE: The BIOS screens might vary by the BIOS version. The screenshots in this chapter are for illustration only. |
About the HBA-1000-M2-1 storage controller
The HBA-1000-M2-1 storage controller supports 6-Gbps and 12-Gbps SAS/SATA data channels. For detailed storage controller information, access http://www.h3c.com/en/home/qr/default.htm?id=66.
Features
Operating modes
The storage controller supports the following operating modes:
· HBA mode—In this mode, physical drives attached to the storage controller are exposed as raw drives and RAID functions are disabled.
· RAID mode—In this mode, RAID functions are enabled and RAID arrays can be created on physical drives. Only logical drives are exposed to the operating system.
· Mixed mode—This is the default mode. In this mode, RAID functions are enabled and RAID arrays can be created on physical drives. Both logical drives and raw physical drives are exposed to the operating system.
|
|
IMPORTANT: · The operating system might fail to start up after the operating mode of the storage controller is changed. To resolve the issue, re-install the operating system. If the issue persists, contact Technical Support. · If the storage controller has RAID configuration, you must clear RAID configuration before changing the operation mode of the storage controller to HBA mode. The new operating mode takes effect after the server reboots. · For the new mode to take effect, restart the server after an operating mode change. |
RAID levels
Table 1 shows the minimum number of drives required by each RAID level and the maximum number of failed drives supported by each RAID level. For more information about RAID levels, see "Appendix B RAID arrays and fault tolerance."

Hot spare drives
You can configure hot spare drives to improve data security. A hot spare drive is a standby drive that does not store any data. When a drive in a redundant RAID fails, a spare drive automatically replaces the failed drive and rebuilds the data of the failed drive.
The storage controller supports the following types of hot spare drives. For more information about hot spare drive types, see "Storage controller features."
· Dedicated spare drive.
· Auto replace spare drive.
Restrictions and guidelines for configuring RAID
· As a best practice, configure RAID with drives that do not contain RAID information.
· To build a RAID successfully and ensure RAID performance, make sure all drives in the RAID are the same type (HDDs or SSDs) and have the same connector type (SAS or SATA).
· For efficient use of storage, use drives that have the same capacity to build a RAID. If the drives have different capacities, the lowest capacity is used across all drives in the RAID.
· If you use one physical drive to create multiple RAIDs, RAID performance might decrease in addition to increased maintenance complexities.

Deleting a RAID array
This task allows you to delete a RAID array and the logical drives contained in it.
|
|
NOTE: Deleting logical drives in the middle of a RAID array might cause discontinuous sectors on the physical drives of this array. As a consequence, the operation might affect the drive read and write rate and limit the operations on logical drives performed by using RAID array configuration tools. As a best practice to avoid these problems, delete logical drives from back to front in sequence. If you delete logical drives in the middle, wait for all the logical drives to enter normal state before executing any other operations. |
To delete a RAID array:
1. On the storage controller configuration screen as shown in Figure 22, select Array Configuration and press Enter.

|
|
CAUTION: · Forcing a logical drive in Failed state to come online might cause the existing data on the logical drive to become invalid or unrecoverable. You can reformat and use the logical drive in the OS. · The Force Online operation might change data a logical drive. Before performing this operation, make sure you fully understand the impact. |

Creating and deleting RAID arrays
Perform this task to create and delete RAID arrays.
Syntax
arcconf create controller_id logicaldrive option size level channel_id device_id channel_id device_id……
arcconf delete controller_id logicaldrive ld_id noprompt
Parameters
controller_id: Specifies the ID of the storage controller.
option: Specifies the LD attributes. Attributes include:
· Stripesize: Strip size of the LD.
· Legs: NPG of the LD. This attribute is available only for RAID 50 and RAID 60.
· Name: Name of the LD.
· Method: Initialization method of the LD. Options include build and default.
· Wcache: IO Bypass. This attribute is available only when maxCache is created.
· LDcache: Controller cache.
· SSDOverProvisioningOptimization: SSD attribute, which is available only when a RAID array is set by SSDs. Options include enable and disable. Enabling this option will optimize SSDs by reallocating all used blocks before writing data to the SSDs, resulting in faster initialization.
· DataLD: ID of the accelerated LD.
size: Capacity of the LD. The unit is MB. Enter only the number here. For example, if you set the value to 1024, it indicates that the driver capacity is 1024 MB. If you set the value to MAX, it indicates that all the capacity of the physical drive is used to create the logical drive.
level: Level of the LD.
channel_id: Specifies the channel ID of a drive.
device_id: Specifies the device ID of a drive.
Examples
# Create RAID 0.
[root@localhost ~]# arcconf create 1 logicaldrive stripesize 512 name R0 max 0 0 22 0 31
Controllers found: 1
Space will be wasted as devices specified are of different sizes.
Do you want to add a logical device to the configuration?
Press y, then ENTER to continue or press ENTER to abort: y
Creating logical device: R0
Command completed successfully.
# Delete the logical drive with ID 0.
[root@localhost ~]# arcconf delete 1 logicaldrive 0 noprompt
Controllers found: 1
WARNING: Deleting this logical device will automatically delete array 0 because it is the only logical device present on that array.
All data in logical device 0 will be lost.
Deleting: logical device 0 ("R0")
Command completed successfully.
Scaling up a logical drive
Perform this task to scale up a logical drive when physical drives have capacity not used by logical drives.
Syntax
arcconf modify controller_id from LD_id to LD_size LD_level channel_id device_id channel_id device_id
Parameters
controller_id: Specifies the ID of the storage controller.
LD_id: Specifies the ID of a logical drive.
LD_size: Specifies the new LD capacity, in MB.
LD_level: Specifies the RAID level.
channel_id: Specifies the channel ID of a drive.
device_id: Specifies the device ID of a drive.
Usage guidelines
· To ensure a successful scale-up, make sure you have obtained the correct RAID level and physical ID of member drives.
· Make sure the added capacity does not exceed the remaining capacity of the array in which the logical drive resides.
Examples
# Scale up the LD capacity to 204800 MB.
[root@localhost ~]# arcconf modify 1 from 0 to 204800 1 0 0 0 1
Controllers found: 1
Reconfiguration of a logical device is a long process. Are you sure you want

Migrating a logical drive
Perform this task to migrate a logical drive.
Syntax
arcconf modify controller_id logicaldrive LD_id movearray array_id
arcconf modify controller_id logicaldrive LD_id newarray channel_id device_id
Parameters
controller_id: Specifies the ID of the storage controller.
LD_id: Specifies the ID of a LD.
array_id: Specifies the ID of an array.
channel_id: Specifies the channel ID of a drive.
device_id: Specifies the device ID of a drive.
Usage guidelines
During migration, the number of the existing array member disks or new drives must be consistent with the original.
