HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and User Guide

3.

From the HP VMA SAN Gateway CLI on the cluster master, enter Config

mode.

4.

Initialize the HP VMA Array for vSHARE (block) storage.

This command generates the container

Strad201

and creates three partitions,

vtmsa1

,

vtmsa2

, and

vtmsa3

. The vtmsa1 and vtmsa3 partitions are used by the

HP VMA SAN Gateways to store LVM gateway metadata, and the vtmsa2

partition is shared between the HP VMA SAN Gateways in the HA pair.

5.

Create a LUN called FINANCE within the Strad201 container.

When you enter this command, the FINANCE LUN is created and placed

online in HA mode, so it is accessible from both HP VMA SAN Gateways in

the HA pair.

6.

Verify that the ports on the array are operating in HA mode.

7.

Verify that the LUN is online in HA mode.

In the example above, the FINANCE LUN is operating in HA mode,

accessible via ports A and B on the VMA Array. In the event of a link or

Gateway failure that reduces the number of available paths to the LUN, the

value in the

Status

column will be

Degraded
