Page 5 Part I Basic information and concepts HP Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) is the software application used to configure HP SAS BL Switches, including tasks such as creating and managing hardware-based zone groups. These zone groups allocate resources for device load balancing purposes and for selectively allowing access to data. For planning purposes, zone groups and assignments can be pre-configured, even if servers or disk drives are not yet installed.http://www.rzeczoznawcy.pl/galeria/3m-1608-overhead-projector-manual.xml
Page 6 Zone group concepts Zone groups allocate resources for device load balancing purposes and for selectively allowing access to data. Page 8 For the c7000 BladeSystem enclosure, use the following table to determine which external storage enclosures to use when zoning the external storage to the server blades. For example, a zone group could include drives from three storage enclosures attached to ports 1, 3, and 4. However, creating a zone group using drives from two storage enclosures attached to ports 1 and 5 is not supported. Page 10 Part II VSM GUI Page 11 Contents 1 Getting started.12 Accessing the VSM GUI.12 Page description.14 System status information. Page 12 1 Getting started Accessing the VSM GUI VSM is accessed through the Onboard Administrator (OA) application of the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure in which the switch is installed. (For the minimum supported OA version, see the 3Gb SAS BL Switch QuickSpecs.)

The following example illustrates using the PuTTY utility. a. b. c. 4. Enter the VSM CLI IP addresses in the Host Name (or IP address) field. Verify that the SSH radio button is selected. Click Open. The SSH shell opens. When prompted, enter an OA username and password with administrative privileges. Page 61 Command syntax A typical VSM CLI command string consists of three variables: a target device, a command, and a clarifying parameter. The following commands are supported: 62 Command syntax Command description add Add an entry to an existing configuration element.Page 63 For more information about the syntax or how to use these commands, use the VSM CLI help command. For more information about the help command, see “The help command” (page 65). About the parameter variable Most commands require a parameter to clarify the action. Some parameters are optional and, if not entered for a command, the default value is used. The specific parameters and values that are valid for a given command depend on the target to which you apply the command. Page 64 Executing commands Configuration changes are made on a transaction basis.
Page 65 Getting help The help and the show commands provide detailed information about system devices and how to use VSM CLI commands to perform configuration tasks. Page 66 Example 2: The following example displays the results of the show command for an HP BladeSystem enclosure when the config parameter is specified. Page 67 Example 3: The following example displays the results of the show command for a blade enclosure device bay. Page 68 8 Performing common tasks Example commands and system responses shown in this section are provided only as a general reference and may differ from the commands used and system responses in your environment. For more information on the available options for each command, see VSM CLI online help. Page 70 Creating a switch-port zone group Used with shared SAS storage enclosures or tape autoloaders or libraries, switch port zone groups are comprised of one or more SAS ports on the switch. Server device bays assigned this type of zone group have access to the array enclosures or tape devices connected to the ports included in the zone group. Use the show command to determine which switch ports are available. NOTE: The bsp parameter specifies that you want to show “blade switch port” information. The display of this example is abbreviated, retaining key details. Page 72 NOTE: Entering a range of port numbers is not supported. The display shows information for the switch installed in interconnect bay 7, and that ports 1 and 2 are included in zone group named OpenZone. Page 73 Creating a drive-bay zone group Used with zoned SAS storage enclosures such as the MDS600, drive-bay zone groups group together disk drive bays, which can be chosen from across multiple storage enclosures. Server device bays assigned this type of zone group have access to the disk drive bays included in the zone, as if they were directly connected to those servers.
Page 75 Assigning a zone group to a server device bay Server bays cannot access external storage connected to the switch until assigned a zone group. Page 77 Capturing the configuration After initially configuring the switch or after making changes to an existing configuration, HP strongly recommends backing up the configuration for safekeeping. NOTE: The configuration can be backed up to an FTP server or temporarily saved to the switch and then transferred to a different location using a secure copy tool. Example secure copy tools include pscp.exe for Windows and scp for Linux. Page 81 NOTE: In dual-domain configurations with two switches installed in the same interconnect bay row of the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, if storage enclosures connected to the passive switch are not updated at the same time as the storage enclosures connected to the active switch, log out of the CLI session of the active switch. Log into the CLI of the passive switch and change its status to active by entering the command sw local force active. User Guide. Abstract.
