Designing and

Implementing HPSAN Storage Solution

Module 2

How to design a networked storage



Objectives

– Identify the basics of designing a FC Fabric SAN

– Define the infrastructure requirements

– Explain how to design a SAN utilizing a phasedapproach

– Identify the factors to consider when designing a SAN

– Explain how performance considerations relate to SANdesign

– Explain HP SAN Design philosophy



Basics of designing a SAN

Restorebackup

Distance

CostDisastertolerance

Connectivity

and capacity

Data locality

Scalability

Performance

Availability

Managementand security



HP SAN Design philosophy

– To mix moderately sized components to meet a rangeof storage system requirements

– Benefits• Greater flexibility

•

Incremental scaling• Support for diverse geographic and data locality requirements

– Achieved through – Multiple port functionality

– Simple, standardized approach to design



Approaches to simplified design

– HP standard design• For beginners or small business needs

– Variation of an HP design• For intermediate SAN designers or mid-size business needs

– Custom design using the HP StorageWorks SANdesign rules• For advanced SAN designers or enterprise business needs



Design considerations

– Factors to consider when designing a FC Fabric SAN• Applications and operating systems

• Availability

• Accessibility

• I/O Profile

• Backup

• Security

• Migration

• Management



Defining the infrastructurerequirements

– Document the following:• Inventory of current environment

• Growth plan

• Current storage configuration

• LAN/SAN structure

• Application uses

• Traffic loads

• Peak periods

• Current performance

– Current constraints• Use of existing cables

• Use of existing components

Planning the SAN

– Plan the SAN architecture

– Plan for current environment assessment

– Plan for SAN functionality, availability, and performance

– Plan for SAN data protection and growth

– Plan for enterprise SAN management

– Choose HP supported SAN topology

– Plan the deployment strategy

– Plan the test and verification process

– Develop a detailed deployment schedule and aschedule tracking process

– Plan to have a customer development lab to testconfiguration changes
