Clariion Allocation Create Raid groups RAID 5 (4+1) Tier 3 1.

. Create RAID Group select 4 disk across the BUSes 2. select 5th disk from first bus and different DAE, if there no further DAEs then select the disk from same DAE in the range 7-14 Ex disks 0_0_5, 1_0_1, 2_0_1, 3_0_2, 0_1_2 or 0_0_5, 1_0_1, 2_0_1, 3_0_2, 0_0_9 RAID 0+1 (10) (4+4) Tier 2 1. Create RAID Group and select 4 sets of disks like each pair on one Bus and disks across the DAEs Ex. 0_0_6, 0_1_6, 1_0_1, 1_1_1, 2_0_4, 2_1_4, 3_0_1, 3_0_1

LUNs configuration and SP ownership 1. 2. 3. 4. Generate the RG report on required Clariion Check existing RG has required amount of free space. Carve the luns of required size with other parameters as default. Assign the lun id as EVEN if RG ID is ODD and SP ownership should be SP A and vice versa 5. Make note of LUN ID s to add them to Storage group.

MANUALLY REGISTER HOST (have the WWN and IP of the Host ready) 1. Right click on the storage system name 2. Click on CONNECTIVITY STATUS

3. Click GROUP EDIT

On the GROUP EDIT INITIATORS screen 4. 5. 6. 7. On the left side under AVAILABLE, select the WWN for the Host Click the arrow to add it to the right side under SELECTED On the lower left, in the HOSTNAME box, enter the name of the Host On the lower left, in the IP box, enter the IP of the Host Click OK Click CANCEL

Storage groups 1. Ensure the Host has logged and registered (Yes) 2. Create storage group and name as the server name 3. Select the carved luns and respective hosts. Host configuration

Contact ECC team to promote ids on the servers (75700 or 1800 842 4282) Scan for hardware changes using device manager , disks Once the disks are visible. Open Disks Management and complete the disk convert wizard by adding new disks on to it. 5. Make note of new disk numbers added 6. Use Diskpart on W2k3 or Diskpar on W2k severs to create primary partition with alignment offset 64. Diskpart> list disks Diskpart>select disk n (where n is disk #) Diskpart> create partition primary align=64 Diskpart>exit 7. If required- Create mount folder on the root drive and mount the required disk 8. Use Disk management to format the disk and create NTFS file system with allocation size of 64k. 9. Label the mount disks as Mount points ( F\MPDATA ..) PS. If it is a cluster, Scan the h/w changes and if possible move the allocated failover the resources and confirm.

Procedure to Create Mount points Ex: F:\ - root disk Mounts points F:\MPDATA T2 =60GB F:\MPLOG T2 = 40GB F:\MPBKP T3 = 20GB Clariion Disks Disk 5 RAID 10 LUN ID =300 Disk 6 RAID10 LUN ID =302 Disk 7 RAID 5 LUN ID =278 From T3 clariion 1. Open Disk Management

Create mounts on specified root disk right click on the required disk and select change or assign drive letter Click on ADD and select the mount option. Brows and select the mount point created on the root disk ( MP can be created at this point) and complete the wizard 6. Format the partitions as NTFS with cluster size as 64KB unless it is specified 1
