Overview
|
HP StorageWorks Secure Path |
| Secure Path is multi-path, high availability software that manages and maintains continuous data access to HP storage systems enabling no-single-point-of-failure (NSPoF) from server to storage. Secure Path is host-resident software that monitors the data paths between server and storage to increase availability of information. In the event that a path failure is detected, Secure Path fails over to an alternative path. When that path becomes available, Secure Path can automatically fail back to the original path. For Windows, Linux, SUN and HP-UX systems connected to the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array or the HGS80 storage controllers, Secure Path can dynamically balance the workload among available paths to optimize system performance. Secure Path on the NetWare and IBM-AIX platforms provide static workload balancing. |

|
| Benefits |
| Feature | Function | Benefit |
| Multiple path management; up to 32 paths/LUN depending on host | Reroutes I/O to functioning alternate path in case of hardware failure | No-single-point-of-failure from server to storage |
| Dynamic Load Balancing | Monitors and reroutes data to balance I/O load using the models as follows: round robin, least I/O, and least bandwidth on the Windows and Sun platforms and round robin on the Linux and HP-UX platforms. | Increased performance |
| Proactive path checking | In the background, determine failed path and take necessary action to ensure availability of path between host and storage | High availability |
| Remote Management with Secure Path Manager | Web-based graphical user interface Displays current path status and optimizes path utilization for Windows and NetWare hosts |
Ease of use |
| Automatic failback | Online automatic return of storage sets to repaired preferred I/O path | Lights-out operation |
| LUN expansion with Windows 2000 dynamic disk support | Allows most maintenance without loss of services | Improved availability for 7 x 24 support |
| Partitioned LUNs across multiple hosts | Two or more hosts of the same type can share a partitioned RAID set, allowing maximum utilization of resources (Windows, Sun, Linux and HP-UX support only) | Storage consolidation |
|
|
Standard Features
| No-Single-Point-Of-Failure | Multiple path failover capability and redundant components architecture eliminate single points-of-failure from server to storage in a clustered or single server configuration. Secure Path supports up to 32 paths per LUN, depending on the host. See Technical Specifications below for more details. |
|
| |
| High Availability | Secure Path provides high availability in complex SAN (storage area networks) ensuring application and data availability in enterprise solutions. Fibre Channel storage controllers provide redundant paths for continuous 24x7 data access. Redundant physical connections define separate physical "paths" in a Secure Path hardware configuration. Each path originates at an HBA port on the server and ends at a unique RAID controller port in the storage system. |
|
| |
| Performance | Secure Path products provide automatic load distribution for Windows, Linux, Sun and HP-UX hosts across the available paths to optimize the performance of the storage controllers. Administrator-controlled load balancing capability is available for IBM AIX and NetWare hosts. Load balancing is supported with the XP, Virtual Array (VA), EVA5000, EVA3000, EVA4000, EVA6000, EVA8000, MA8000, EMA12000, EMA16000, RA8000, ESA12000, and MA6000 solutions. |
| | |
| Clustered Server Support |
Secure Path provides cluster support for host-level fault tolerance and high system availability. Cluster software supported includes:
|
| | |
| Manageability | Windows and NetWare hosts are managed with Secure Path Manager v4 (SPM), a web-based management application that allows continuous monitoring of the multi-path environment, displays path status and alerts on significant events. Secure Path Manager presents a SAN-wide view of path connectivity between managed hosts and LUNs. Its easy to use interface allows users to customize paths and optimize availability and performance for the specific SAN. |
| Secure Path Manager runs on either the SAN
Management Appliance or on a Windows 2000 server. Users can browse to Secure
Path Manager using standard web browsers. Secure Path Manager allows the
user to enable automatic load balancing to ensure maximum I/O efficiency,
when managing the EVA5000, EVA3000, EVA4000, EVA6000, EVA8000, RA8000/ESA12000,
MA8000/EMA12000/ EMA16000, MA6000, XP, and VA storage solutions. |
|
| Sun and HP-UX hosts are managed with the Secure Path Management Tool (secure path manager), which is a command line application and has the following features: | |
|
|
| With Sun and HP-UX hosts, you are notified
of changes in the state of the paths via the console, email or syslog. The
Sun Spmgr tool supports command management from a remote host. Linux hosts are also managed with the Secure Path Management Tool (secure path manager) and support the above commands with the exception of "add", "delete", and "update" |
|
|
The Secure Path for IBM AIX Management tool (CamBex Fibre Channel Storage Management) includes the following options: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Multi-host Management | Secure Path Manager v4 also supports the concept of management groups (or profiles) to manage groups of hosts. One profile can have up to 128 hosts and up to 128 storage systems. Multiple profiles can be created to manage more hosts or storage systems. A profile can contain a mixture of clustered and non-clustered hosts. |
| | |
| Easy Upgrade | Secure Path for Microsoft Windows and Sun includes an upgrade process that quickly allows you to take advantage of the new features without reconfiguration of the storage systems. The upgrade procedure is designed to convert a current configuration to the new configuration. |
