number of your Lab Group (please refer to your instructor for this detail) as we
will be sharing access to the InServ. Remember the naming convention for CPG’s
suggests that we should be able to read the properties of the CPG from the name.
For example, Labgroup01 will name a CPG created for 15K FC disks using
RAID1using HA ‘Cage’ level redundancy might be called:
LG1_15K_FC_R1_cage.
Select the ‘Show advanced options panel(s)’ box in the bottom left and click ‘Yes’

Prepare your Windows host with native MPIO

Important
! MPIO software is required in any configuration in which a single host has more
than one data path connection to the external storage array. Without MPIO
software installed, the multiple paths to the array would cause ghost drives to
appear in the disk management utility. This would also lead to not being able to
format or mount logical disks. Once MPIO software is installed, it should not be
removed unless only one data path exists between the host server and the
external storage array.
1. Logon to your windows server and open a command prompt window and run
the following command:
ocsetup MultipathIo /norestart

mpclaim –n –i –a
2. type in mpclaim –e so can see the effects of the MPIO before and after
implementation.
3. Reboot the server.

Once the MPIO DSM is installed, no further configuration is required; however,
after initial installation, use Windows Server Device Manager to check that the
MPIO DSM has been installed correctly.

4. Once the system has rebooted, logon on to the system.

5. Open a new command prompt window.
6. Re-enter the command mpclaim –e and view the results, how do the results from
the mpclaim command differ in the before and after the reboot?
Changing load balance settings within MPIO

1. Right click ‘Computer’ on the desktop and select ‘manage’ from the new pop up
window.
2. Expand the Diagnostics field and select Device Manager
3. To the right in the Device Manager box expand the Disk drives section and
select the ‘3PARdata VV Multi-Path Disk Device’ right click and select properties.
4. From the new window select the MPIO tab

5. Select the MPIO policy to ‘Round Robin With Subset’.
6. Click ‘OK’ to complete this change.

7. Review the presentation of you VLUN in the ‘Disk Management’ window to
further verify the MPIO installation.
8. Later you will be setting MPIO policies for the new disks added to your
configuration from the InServ.

Presented storage to HP-UX host

In the previous storage configuration lab, you should have created virtual disks for
each of the platforms that are part of the classroom environment. In this exercise, you
will display multipath options.
1. From a command prompt, view the legacy hardware paths with ioscan –fkC
disks.
2. View the agile hardware paths with ioscan –fNkC disk
3. View the LUN paths and legacy hardware paths for one of your 3PAR LUNs:
ioscan –m hwpath –H <agile_hw_path>
Example: ioscan –m hwpath –H 64000/0xfa00/0x6

4. Record these paths for each disk below:
.................................................................................................................
.................................................................................................................
.................................................................................................................
.................................................................................................................
5. The default load balancing policy for disk devices is “round_robin”. Display the
policy with the scsimgr command. If you are unsure of the disk name, use the
command ioscan –m lun to display it.
scsimgr get_attr –D /dev/rdisk/diskxx –a load_bal_policy

Thin Technologies
Lab 6
Objectives
After completing this lab you should be able to:
Understand what Zero Detect does for Thin Provisioning.
Verify if zero detect is enabled
Enable zero detect if it isn’t already.
Identify the space consumed on storage and compare it to the file system.
Perform a simple zeroing of deleted files using an OS tool and note the
difference on the TPVV consumed space.
Requirements
The following are the requirements to perform this lab:
Access to the HP 3PAR Storage System Lab
An assigned Storage System with username and password
Know how to use IMC.
Know how to create Thin Provisioned Virtual Volume (TPVV)
Introduction
This Lab will show you how Thin Provisioning works and how you control it.

View your existing TPVV and check for zero detect.

1. If no TPVV exists, create one.
2. Within the ICM viewing, the VV policy settings can only be seen in the
Advanced Screen of Edit or Create VV.
Viewing VV policy settings
3. Highlight the TPVV and click the Edit Icon or right mouse click Edit.

Thin Technologies
4. The following screen displays.
Edit virtual volumes
5. The Edit screen is exactly the same as when you create a TPVV.
6. Check the Advanced options box and then Next. You may see a warning
dialogue.
7. Just click Yes to continue.

8. The next screen is for the Copy Space.

9. Go ahead and skip this screen for this exercise.
Copy space

Thin Technologies
10. The advanced settings window is where you can check or set the “Zero
detect” option.
Edit virtual volume
11. For the first part of this lab, we are going to use a standard TPVV “without”
Zero Detect enabled. This will show the issues with using Thin Provisioning
without Thin Persistence. If Zero Detect is already checked, uncheck it now; if
it is not checked, just cancel out of this screen.

12. The effects of Zero Detect will be demonstrated later in this exercise. Click
Next.
Edit virtual volume
13. The final pane allows you to verify your setting if you made any changes click
Finish to commit the changes otherwise click Cancel to exit the wizard without
making any changes.

Thin Technologies
Thin Provisioning without Zero detect.

1. Verify the starting “Used User Size” of your TPVV.
Used user size
2. Verify the used capacity of the TPVV as you copy the files.
3. Using Windows Disk manager, format the TPVV you exported to your
windows host earlier as an NTFS LUN. The following examples illustrate a
TPVV exported to a Windows 2008 host which has been formatted and
assigned drive letter G:
4. From your class network share copy the Z:\zero folder over to your c:\temp
and open it.
5. You will see two files – zero.rar and the WinRar installer wrar37b3.exe.
Double click the installer file to install WinRar accepting all the defaults to
complete the installation.
6. Extract the .rar archive into the c:\temp\zero folder. There are 3 files
included that will be used in the following steps. The extracted files will be
copied to your InServ LUN. Do not copy the files now.
Displaying information about the exported TPVV

7. Copy the file named “zero_big_2g” to the TPVV on the Windows host. The
data in this file is all zeroes, similar to when a new table space is created in
a database or when an Eager Zeroed Thick VMDK is created in VMWare.
Copy zero_big_2g... file
8. The following shows the file copied.
File copied
9. Look at the InServ to see the growth in the TPVV
Used space displayed
10. As you can see, we used space in the TPVV, when in reality we only want to
write actual used data to the array. The system reserves space ahead of
heavy writes to help performance so the initial Used User Size will be larger
than the required for the file

Thin Technologies
11. Turn on Zero Detect.

12. Enable Zero detect by editing the properties of the thinly provisioned volume.
Edit pane

13. Let’s copy another “2G zero file” called “zero_second_2G”.
Copy “zero_second_2G“
14. The following display shows drive space.
Drive space
15. The OS shows that we have taken up additional 2GB of space on disk, but
this time we do not see additional capacity being used on the TPVV.
16. The following display shows used space.
Used space displayed

Thin Technologies
17. We can also copy a 2G file that was created using random data.
File and disk space
18. The following display shows used space.
Used space
19. Unlike the last file copy we do see growth in the Used User Size but the
growth isn’t a full 2GB because some of the data in the random file is zeroes.
Used space displayed.

Recovering free space in the filesystem

1. Delete the files on the G: drive and compare the filesystem to the User Used
space.
Examining space
Recovering free space
2. Because of the way NTFS handles files, the deletion actually causes an
increase in Used User Size.

Thin Technologies
Run sdelete
You’ll be using sdelete now so run the installation file if it’s not already installed on
your system. If you’re using the HPVL the sdelete.exe file is in the Z:\SDelete folder.
1. On Windows systems, one way to zero out the free space is to run sdelete
(Secure Delete), a utility available on Microsoft’s web site . See the command
below.
sdelete command
2. The –c tells sdelete to do a single pass zeroing of all the free space in the
filesystem. Because Windows is writing all the zeros, this can take a few
minutes to run.
3. As the sdelete command completes, your User Used Size will start to
shrink. You might have noticed that the Reserved User Size has not reduced
yet. For potential performance reasons, we hold on to space just in case the
zeroing of data is a precursor to new writes.
4. Here is a screen shot from IMC showing the values shortly after sdelete.
