1 Overview of XP Disk/Cache Partition
HP StorageWorks XP Disk/Cache Partition prevents performance degradation and data loss that occur
when connecting multiple hosts and sharing arrays among multiple departments and multiple companies.
XP Disk/Cache Partition provides a mechanism to safeguard array configurations by isolating operational
areas. There is a possibility of changing or deleting a configuration created for a specific customer by
mistake. The configuration should be protected from unrelated tasks, such as a path through which a host
is connected and performing I/O, that could interrupt work in progress.
Use XP Disk/Cache Partition to partition an array into multiple virtual arrays. This helps protect data
because the virtual array’s administrator cannot access the other virtual arrays for which the administrator
is responsible.

XP Disk/Cache Partition features

XP Disk/Cache Partition has two components:
• Cache logical partitions (CLPRs)
• Storage management logical partitions (SLPRs)

Cache logical partitions (CLPRs)

If one array is shared with multiple hosts, and one host reads or writes a large amount of data, the host’s
read and write data might occupy a large area in the array’s cache memory. In this situation, other hosts
slow down the read/write speed because other hosts must wait to write to cache memory. To prevent this
situation, the cache logical partition function in XP Disk/Cache Partition partitions the array’s cache
memory. Partitioned cache memories are used as virtual cache memories, and each of them is allocated
to each host. As a result, this prevents the situation where the specified host exclusively uses most of cache
memory.
Figure 1 shows how a corporation’s cache memory is partitioned to three virtual cache memories. Each
virtual cache memory is allocated to each host in the three branch offices. Branch A’s host is inputting and
outputting a large amount of data to or from the array. However, the read and write data of Branch A’s
host does not occupy cache memory because the cache capacity that Branch A’s host can use is limited to
40 GB. Even if Branch A’s host accesses a large amount of data, the hosts of other branches do not slow
down the read/write speed because of the amount of data Branch A is accessing. The hosts of other
branches can always use up to 40 GB of cache area.

IMPORTANT: Disk/cache partitioning for the SVS200 is limited to one SLPR and four CLPRs.

XP Disk/Cache Partition user guide 9

 The virtual cache memory that the cache logical partition function partitions is referred to as the CLPR. For
more information, see ”Creating CLPRs” on page 19.

Figure 1 Example of a CLPR

To create a CLPR, allocate the parity groups to CLPR. For instructions on allocating parity groups, see
”Working with CLPRs” on page 17.
To create and manage a CLPR, you need user authority for the array. For more information about user
authority, see ”Partition administration and administrator rights” on page 12 and the HP StorageWorks XP
Remote Web Console user guide for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
To manage cache memory using the functions in Cache LUN XP or Partial Cache Residence (PCR), you can
set up the cache area for Cache LUN XP and PCR in each CLPR. For more information, see the
HP StorageWorks Cache LUN XP user guide for the XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
• Capacity criteria when creating a CLPR
If you create a CLPR, use the following formula to calculate the cache capacity allocated to the CLPR.
Cache capacity (GB) = Standard cache capacity (GB) + ↑ ((Cache Residency capacity (MB) +
PCR capacity MB))/2,048) ↑ x 2GB

NOTE: The PCR capacity (MB) described in the formula is the Partial Cache Residence capacity
(MB). For more information about standard cache capacity, see Table 2.

Table 2 Capacity for data in a hard disk drive associated with a CLPR and standard cache capacity

Capacity for data in CLPR to 0.7TB to 2.6TB to 8.5TB to 14.4TB to 20.3TB 20.3TB or more
Standard cache capacity 4GB 8GB 12GB 16GB 20GB 24GB

10 Overview of XP Disk/Cache Partition

 NOTE: To calculate the capacity for data in a hard disk drive associated with a CLPR, add the
following formulas:
Number of parity groups: capacity of one disk x 3 x (3D+1P)
Number of parity groups: capacity of one disk x 6 x (6D+2P)
Number of parity groups: capacity of one disk x 7 x (7D+1P)
Number of parity groups: capacity of one disk x 2 x (2D+2D)

NOTE: To add cache memories to the local array, install them with Standard Cache Access
Model or High Performance Cache Access Model mode. If the local array has additional printed
circuit boards (PCBs), you must use the High Performance Cache Access Model mode. For more
information about additional cache memories, contact your HP account support representative.

• Restriction on CLPR and CU group

You cannot allocate parity groups belonging to different CU groups to a CLPR other than CLPR0. For
more information about CU groups, see the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console user guide for
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.

Storage management logical partitions (SLPRs)

An array can be shared with multiple organizations, for example, enterprises and departments within an
enterprise. Therefore, multiple administrators who belong to different organizations might manage one
array. This creates the potential for an administrator who belongs in one organization to destroy other
organizations’ volumes. Furthermore, it can complicate and increase the difficulty of managing the array
because of an incorrect operation by an administrator and its influence on other organizations. The
storage management logical partition function in XP Disk/Cache Partition allocates all of an array’s
resources (that is, ports and CLPRs) to multiple virtual arrays. Each virtual array can be accessed by only
its administrator. Therefore, this prevents the risk that an administrator will destroy another organization’s
volumes or leak another organization’s data.
In a non-partitioned environment, a full array is considered one single partition SLPR0. After the array is
partitioned, SLPR0 becomes the unpartitioned portion of the array. Similarly, CLPR0 contains all parity
groups (PGs) and cache in the non-partitioned environment. After the array is partitioned, CLPR0 contains
the remaining PGs and cache that are not allocated to other CLPRs.
Figure 2 shows an example of when one array is partitioned into two virtual arrays. Each virtual array is
allocated to two enterprises respectively. In this case, enterprise A’s array administrator can manage
enterprise A’s virtual array, but cannot manage one of enterprise B’s arrays. Similarly, enterprise B’s
array administrator can manage enterprise B’s virtual array, but cannot manage one of enterprise A’s
arrays.

IMPORTANT: Disk/cache partitioning for the SVS200 is limited to one SLPR and four CLPRs.

XP Disk/Cache Partition user guide 11

 The virtual array created by the partitioned array is referred to as the storage management logical
partition (SLPR). You can create up to 31 SLPRs in one array (with the exception of the SVS200). For more
information, see ”Creating SLPRs” on page 26.

Figure 2 Example of an SLPR

To create an SLPR, allocate the array’s resources (that is, ports and CLPRs). For instructions on allocating
the array’s resources, see ”Working with SLPRs” on page 23. To create and manage a CLPR, you need
user authority for the array. For more information, see ”Partition administration and administrator rights”
on page 12 and the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console user guide for
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
• Restriction on SLPR and CU group
You cannot allocate array resources belonging to different CU groups to an SLPR other than SLPR0.

NOTE: If you allocate local array resources belonging to the following CU groups to an SLPR
other than SLPR0, you cannot use the resources:
• CU40-7F
• CU80-BF
• CUC0-FE
Do not allocate resources belonging to these CU groups to an SLPR other than SLPR0.

Partition administration and administrator rights

The following groups of users can access XP Disk/Cache Partition:
• Administrators who have modify access to the full array.
• StorageAdmins who have modify access. This group consists of users who have full array access and
users who have partition-level access.

• Partial Cache Residence Size: Partial Cache Residence’s (PCR’s) cache capacity. Must be between
0 and 252 GB in 0.5 GB increments. The default is 0 GB.

NOTE: The value selected for this CLPR must be bigger than the total amount of Partial Cache
Residence that has already been defined for this CLPR using Cache LUN XP. Check the total
amount of Partial Cache Residence that has already been defined in Cache LUN XP before
changing the value.

NOTE: You cannot change the capacity value of CLPR0 directly. If you change another CLPR’s
capacity, the difference is reflected in CLPR0’s capacity.

NOTE: The maximum available cache capacity (capacity of mounted cache minus total amount of
usage for other CLPRs) appears for each upper limit of Cache Size, Cache LUN XP Size, Number of
Cache LUN XP Areas, and Partial Cache Residence Size.

NOTE: The remaining capacity, which is calculated by subtracting Cache LUN XP Size and Partial
Cache Residence Size from Cache Size, must be 4 GB or more in CLPR0. If you changed Cache
Size, Cache LUN XP Size, or Partial Cache Residence Size, verify that the capacity calculated by
subtracting Cache LUN XP Size and Partial Cache Residence from Cache Size remains 4 GB or
more in CLPR0.

Administering SLPRs
Only storage administrators can make settings for SLPR0. A storage partition administrator only has
authority within the assigned storage logical partition. The storage administrator can also assign write
permission for one or more of the following functions:
• Volume Manager
• LUN Security XP Extension
• LUN Manager
• Cache LUN XP
• Auto LUN XP
The following is the general procedure required for preparing and administering the array with SLPRs.
Only Administrators can perform this procedure.
1. Create an SLPR (see ”Creating SLPRs” on page 26).
2. On the License Key Partition Definition pane, allocate licenses for software products to the SLPR (see
the HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server installation and
configuration guide or the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console user guide for
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200).

NOTE: If software product licenses have not been allocated to an SLPR, the user assigned to the
SLPR cannot use the software products. For Auto LUN XP, if the licensed capacity for the entire
storage is sufficient, the Administrator can use Auto LUN XP to monitor the entire storage, even if
Auto LUN XP’s license has not been allocated to the SLPR.

XP Disk/Cache Partition user guide 25

 3. For instructions on adding users, see the HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition
Device Manager Server installation and configuration guide or the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web
Console user guide for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
4. To delete an SLPR, delete all users and set the license capacity to 0 GB, or click Disable for all
software products assigned to the SLPR on the License Key Partition Definition pane. See ”Deleting
SLPRs” on page 27.

NOTE: You cannot migrate mainframe volumes out of SLPR0. All mainframe volume operations can be
performed by storage administrators, not storage partition administrators.

NOTE: You can assign a user to an SLPR that has not yet been created. However, if the SLPR does not
exist, an error occurs when that user attempts to launch Command View AE or XP Remote Web Console.

Creating SLPRs
If you have not yet created an SLPR in the array, all of the array’s resources (that is, CLPRs and ports)
belong in SLPR0. To divide the array’s resources, create a new SLPR in the array.

IMPORTANT: Disk/cache partitioning for the SVS200 is limited to one SLPR and four CLPRs.

NOTE: Only Administrators can create SLPRs.

1. Confirm the current CU group in the drop-down list for CU groups in the upper right of the XP Remote
Web Console main pane.

30 Troubleshooting
6 Notes, restrictions, and requirements
This chapter provides additional information about using SLPRs and CLPRs.

CLPRs
• When creating a partition, the partition’s license keys are disabled by default. Use the License Key
Partition Definition pane to enable license keys for the new partition. Basic license keys include XP
Web Console and Java® API. Both are required to enable the Web GUI for new partitions.
• Adding or changing a CLPR definition can take several hours. To minimize the amount of time
required when moving cache from one CLPR to another, create partitions when the array’s workload is
light.
• HP does not recommended the following operations with CLPRs:
• Creating a LUSE volume extending over multiple CLPRs. If performed, you cannot use volumes
belonging to the CLPRs to which the LUSE is set as a Continuous Access XP or TrueCopy for z/OS®
pair volume.
• Business Copy XP Quick Restore operations affecting multiple CLPRs.
• Auto LUN XP manual migrations affecting multiple CLPRs.
• If you perform Continuous Access XP Asynchronous or TrueCopy for z/OS Asynchronous operations,
and allocate volumes that extend over multiple CLPRs to the same consistency group, you cannot
create a pair.
• If you perform Continuous Access XP Asynchronous or TrueCopy for z/OS Asynchronous operations,
you can allocate only Continuous Access XP Asynchronous or TrueCopy for z/OS Asynchronous pairs
belonging to the same CLPR to one consistency group. Parity groups allocated to the CLPR that these
Continuous Access XP Asynchronous or TrueCopy for z/OS Asynchronous pairs belong to cannot
migrate to another CLPR.
• The following CU groups are for mainframe volumes: CU40-7F, CU80-BF, and CUC0-FE. Therefore,
you cannot use these CU groups for some program products. For more information about whether or
not you can use all CU groups, see the user guide for each program product.

SLPRs
• Ports being assigned to an SLPR should not have existing host groups and LUNs assigned to them.
Assign LUNs and define host groups after the partition is created.
• Assign LUNs for an SLPR from array groups that are assigned to control units (CUs) that have been
assigned to that SLPR. The StorageAdmin for a partition can only allocate from array groups
belonging to the StorageAdmin’s assigned partition.
• HP does not recommend making settings on multiple SLPRs in a single operations because it results in
more complex and difficult SLPR administration.
• If an administrator forces the following functions for multiple SLPRs and contradictions occur as a
result, the StorageAdmin user‘s ability to use the SLPR is affected:
• Auto LUN XP manual migration
• Business Copy XP Quick Restore
• LU path settings
• High Speed mode settings
• Creating a LUSE volume
• Mainframe volumes must be allocated to SLPR0.
• Before a customized volume (CV) is created, the StorageAdmins user must allocate CU numbers to the
SLPR. Allocated CU numbers are required only for defining the CU number to be allocated to the LDEV
when the StorageAdmin user creates a CV.
