necessary,unpack the distribution as described above under Unpacking the Distribution.ing appropriate CD writing software and equipment,create a CD using the CPQary3.iso ISOimage that is included in the distribution.Package InstallationThere are several methods of deploying Solaris10for x86/x64Systems.The various methods are notcovered in this manual.The instructions below describe methods for installing the HP Smart ArrayController Driver during various deployment methods,or to an active Solaris installation.For information regarding deployment of Solaris on HP ProLiant Servers,please refer to HP ProLiant Support Pack forSolaris User Guide as described in the section“Introduction”.Applying the DU during OS InstallationDepending on the deployment method,one of the following methods should be used to apply theCPQary3DU to Solaris10.The DU must be supplied during OS installation if the OS is being installed on disk volumes attached to a Smart Array controller.With Solaris101/06and beyond,the DU may besupplied on a floppy diskette(using a legacy floppy drive),a CD-ROM(USB or other),or via HP iLOvirtual media(using the CD-ROM ISO image).1.If necessary,create a Driver Update(DU)diskette or CD-ROM using the procedures described abovein“Creating the DU Diskette”or“Creating the DU CD-ROM”.2.Boot the Solaris Installation.The following menu prompt will appear:1.Solaris Interactive(default)2.Custom JumpStart3.Solaris InteractiveText(Desktop session)4.Solaris Interactive Text(Console session)5.Applydriverupdates6.Singleuser shell3.Enter the appropriate deployment choice.4.At the following prompt:Insert media and enter media type:Floppy[f],CD/DVD[c]or End[e]do one of the following:○Insert the DU floppy,and choose f,○Insert the DU CD-ROM,and choose c,or○If using virtual media,disconnect the Solaris installation media(if necessary),connect the CPQary3.iso ISO image file included in the distribution,and choose c.Solaris will extract the driver,and the following messages will indicate success:extracting software on cdinstalling driver update in the miniroot5.Following driver application,Solaris will return to the following prompt:Insert media and enter media type:Floppy[f],CD/DVD[c]or End[e]Choose e.Solaris will prompt for re-insertion of the Solaris media;complete this step and proceed with the installation.If using virtual media,disconnect the driver DU ISO image and reconnect the Solaris installation media before continuing.With Solaris103/05,the driver must be supplied using the DU floppy with a legacy floppy drive.1.If necessary,create a Driver Update(DU)diskette using the procedure de-scribed in“Creating theDU Diskette”above.2.Begin the installation by booting Solaris with a Configuration Assistant Diskette or with a Solaris10for x86/x64Systems Software CD1.3.When prompted,press the ESC key to enter the Device Configuration Assistant.4.At the Configuration Assistant screen,choose the F4option F4_Add Driver.5.When the Install Supplemental Drivers screen is displayed,remove the Configuration Assistantdiskette,if used,and insert the CPQary3DU diskette into the floppy drive.6.Select F2_Continue,and Solaris will load the HP Smart Array Controller Driver from the disketteinto memory.7.Add any additional drivers using the DU diskettes provided by the vendors.Once all of the requireddrivers have been added,remove the DU diskette and,if it was used to boot the system,re-insert the Configuration Assistant diskette.Select F4_Done.8.The Identified Device Drivers screen is displayed.Select F2_Continue to proceed with theinstallation of the Solaris10for x86/x64Systems Operating System.9.Near the end of the installation,the installation process will prompt again for the CPQary3DUdiskette.Remove the Configuration Assistant diskette from the floppy drive,if used,and re-insert the CPQary3DU diskette.10.Press ENTER to continue,and the Solaris installation process will install the CPQary3package to thenew system.Messages similar to the following are displayed during a successful driver installation:Installing package CPQary3HP Smart Array Controller Driver(i386)VERSION=x.y.z,REV=2009.04.06.02.01Copyright2009Hewlett-Packard DevelopmentCompany,L.P.All Rights Reserved.11.Remove the DU diskette from the floppy drive,and follow the on-screen instructions to complete theSolaris installation.Installing the Driver on an Existing InstallationThe following procedure should be followed to install the HP Smart Array Controller Driver on to anexisting Solaris10system to use the disk volumes configured on Smart Array controllers.1.If necessary,unpack the distribution as described above under“Unpacking the Distribution”.2.The CPQary3distribution includes an install script that should be used to install the driver package.Execute the install script to install the driver.Driver installation must be performed by the superuser.$pwd/var/tmp/CPQary3-x.y.z-solaris10-i386$su#pkgadd-d‘pwd‘/CPQary3.pkg CPQary3...Installation of<CPQary3>was successful.A message similar to the above is displayed following a successful installation.3.The system must be rebooted in order to configure the driver and identify the attached disk volumes:#touch/reconfigure#init6Installing the Driver Into a GRUB-based MinirootThis section applies to Solaris101/06and beyond.Because the HP Smart Array Controller Driver is not currently shipped on Solaris media,the driver is not present in the Solaris install miniroot or in the Solaris failsafe miniroot.The following procedure can be used to install the HP Smart Array Controller Driver intoa Solaris GRUB-based miniroot.This can be useful for PXE boot-based or other non-interactive installationsas well as for failsafe mode-based recovery.1.If necessary,unpack the distribution as described above under“Unpacking the Distribution”.2.Preserve a backup copy of the miniroot that is to be modified.3.Unpack the miniroot that is to be modified into a temporary directory:$su#/boot/solaris/bin/root_archive unpack.../x86.miniroot/var/tmp/mr4.Install the HP Smart Array Controller Driver into the miniroot:#cd.../CPQary3-x.y.z-solaris10-i386#pkgadd-R/var/tmp/mr-d‘pwd‘/CPQary3.pkg CPQary3NOTE:With Solaris105/09,you may receive a busy message when adding the driver—“add_drv/rem_drv currently busy;try later”.This is due to a lock file in theminiroot which must be removed.Follow these steps to remove the lock file:1.Remove/tmp/AdDrEm.lck from the miniroot:#rm/var/tmp/mr/tmp/AdDrEm.lck2.Add the package as above,ignoring any warning messages you may receive.5.Re-pack the modified miniroot and clean up:#cd/#/boot/solaris/bin/root_archivepack.../x86.miniroot/var/tmp/mr#rm-Rf/var/tmp/mr#exit$Installing the Driver Using JumpStartSuccessful network deployment of Solaris on ProLiants requires:∙The HP Smart Array Controller Driver to be loaded at installation time.∙The driver to be installed in the target root disk so that it is available when the newly-installed system is rebooted.The first requirement can be satisfied by installing the driver into the miniroot,as described in the section“Installing the Driver Into a GRUB-based Miniroot”.The second requirement is usually accomplished using the existing capabilities of JumpStart.This section provides a brief introduction to those features ofJumpStart that can be used to deliver the driver package to the target system during network-basedinstallation.The following Sun documentation should also be consulted:The Solaris10Installation Guide:Custom JumpStart and Advanced Installations guide,specifically theUsing Custom JumpStart section.The Solaris105/09version of this guide is available at/app/docs/doc/820-7014/.Additional information regarding JumpStartdeployment on HP ProLiant servers can be found in the document Deployment Guide for HP ProLiantServers as described in the section“Introduction”.To prepare a JumpStart deployment which includes the HP Smart Array Controller Driver,follow thesesteps.1.If necessary,unpack the driver distribution as described above under“Unpacking the Distribution”.The CPQary3package is included in the distribution tarball in a Solaris package directory formatunder CPQary-x.y-z-solaris10-i386/CPQary3.pkg/:$cd.../CPQary3-x.y.z-solaris10-i386$pkginfo-d CPQary3.pkgsystem CPQary3HP Smart Array Controller Driver2.pkgtrans the CPQary3package to a directory on a network file server.Make this directoryavailable to clients via NFS.For example:$pkgtrans cpqary3.pkg/jumpstart/pkg3.Configure JumpStart to install the CPQary3package during installation.This can be accomplished inone of several ways,two of which are briefly described here(do one of the following):○Add a package directive to the JumpStart profile,specifying the NFS mount path to the directory containing the CPQary3/directory.For example:$package CPQary3add nfs://.../jumpstart/pkg○In a JumpStart finish script,first NFS mount the directory with the pack-age,then run pkgadd and specify the install root using-R.The install root is usually mounted at/a during installation.See the referenced documents for more details.Loading the Driver in Failsafe ModeSolaris101/06and beyond has a failsafe mode boot option.In failsafe mode,GRUB loads a failsafeminiroot from which Solaris is booted.Because the HP Smart Array Controller Driver does not currentlyship on Solaris media,the driver is not present in the failsafe miniroot.In certain situations,it may benecessary to boot a failsafe miniroot(or install miniroot,eg.from CD)that does not have the HP SmartArray Controller Driver,in order to repair an installation on Smart Array-attached disks.The procedure below can be used to load the HP Smart Array Controller Driver at run-time,after booting an unmodified failsafe or install miniroot.This installation of the driver does not persist across reboots;see “Installing the Driver Into a GRUB-based Miniroot”above to affect a persistent installation.1.If necessary,create a Driver Update(DU)diskette or CD-ROM using the procedures described in“Creating the DU Diskette”or“Creating the DU CD-ROM”above.2.Boot the failsafe miniroot or an installation CD.If booting an installation CD,select Single usershell from the initial installation menu.3.Once at the shell prompt,initiate DU installation:#install-duand follow the prompts to install the driver using the DU diskette or CD-ROM.4.After driver installation,have Solaris search for OS installations,if necessary:#install-recoveryConfigurationPlease refer to the cpqary3(7D)man page for complete configuration requirements.In particular,if more than14logical volumes are configured or if a tape drive is connected on any Smart Array Controller,appropriate changes must be made to the system configuration for proper operation.Details of suchconfiguration changes are described in the cpqary3(7D)man page.Useful ReferencesFor more information,please consult the following sources:∙Release Notes The release notes for the CPQary3package are supplied in the distribution tar file as RELEASENOTES.CPQary3.These notes contain information such as the revision history,newfeatures added,obsolete features removed,and a list of known issues.∙man(1)Page The cpqary3(7D)man page is provided with the CPQary3package.It provides detailed information about the HP Smart Array Controller Driver.∙Sun

HP ProLiant ML350 G6 服务器 - 使用 SmartStart CD 引导安装 windows 2008 操作系统
HP ProLiant ML350 G6 服务器- 使用SmartStart CD 引导安装windows 2008 操作系统1. 使用SmartStart CD引导安装之前的准备工作：首先，建议用户先根据自己的需要配置好RAID，可以使用开机自检检测到阵列卡时按F8进入ORCA的方法配置，也可以使用SmartStart CD中附带的ACU工具配置。
其次，需要确认BIOS中启动顺序的设置是光驱优先引导，可以开始时按F10键进入BIOS，然后到Standard Boot Order下确认。
2. 准备工作做好后，就可以使用SmartStart CD引导了，下面是引导的画面。
3. 接下来，我们会看到用户界面的第一步，选择安装语言和键盘语言，目前还不支持中文，没有特殊需要的用户，这步默认为英语即可。
4. 然后是终端用户授权许可，点击Agree才能继续下一步。
5. 接下来，到了操作选择页面，此页面可供选择的操作有：Install、Maintenance、SystemErase和Reboot。
Maintenance中包含ACU，可以借此进行阵列配置，也包含Insight Diagnostic，可以用来进行服务器硬件诊断，这里就不做详细介绍，System Erase和Reboot，顾名思义，一个系统擦除、一个重启。
（如图5）我们点击Install，继续下一步。
6. 接下来，出现的页面会显示系统信息，可以查看到BIOS版本、内存和磁盘大小、以及启动控制器，本次演示服务器配备的是Smart Array P410i阵列卡。
对于安装了1块以上阵列控制器的用户朋友，可以在此选择要把系统安装在哪块阵列控制器连接的硬盘上。
7. 然后，我们需要选择要安装的操作系统，本次演示使用的是SmartStart CD 8.30的版本，可以支持引导安装的系统有Windows 2003和2008。
这次我们选择的是Windows server 2008企业版。
如何配置hot spare盘和阵列迁移扩容
如何配置hot spare盘和阵列迁移扩容分别介绍了用F8加HOT SPARE盘，和用ACU加HOT SPARE与阵列的扩容和迁移。
开机自检到阵列卡界面，在阵列卡初始化完之后，会出现配置阵列的快捷键，如图 1 示 :图 1按 F8 进入 ORCA 配置界面 (ORCA=Option Rom Configuration for Arrays):出现主菜单，界面如图 2 示 :图2新硬盘配置新阵列的话，请选择 Create Logical Drive, 进入后，如图 3 示 :图3在配置界面的左侧，是阵列卡所连接的物理硬盘，右侧上面是阵列级别选项，右侧中间是 HOTSPARE 盘的选项，下面是 Maximum Boot partition 选项 ( 此选项用在 Windows NT4.0 操作系统上，用来选择最大启动分区，可选择默认选项 )现在用 2 块硬盘做 raid1 ，加一块硬盘做 HOTSPARE ，选择一块 18.2gb ，一块36.4gb 作为 raid1 ，一块 36.4gb 做 HOTSPARE （注： raid1 级别，两块硬盘容量必须一致，如果不一致，以最小容量的盘为准）按 SPACE 键（空格键）选择 2 块硬盘 , 选择成功后会在 [ ] 前面有 X 的提示，如图 4:图4选择物理盘后，按 TAB 键到右侧上面，来选择阵列级别， ORCA 自动识别为 raid1 如图 5 示 :图5再按 TAB 键到 Spare 选项，来选择 HOTSPARE 盘，依旧按 Space 键来选定，选择后如图 6 示 :图6注：选择 Spare 盘后会在 [ ]Use one drive as spare 选项前多了一个 S ，在没选择的物理盘前面也变成了 [S]按 Enter 创建逻辑盘，会出现如图 7 提示：图7F8 保存配置，结果如图 8-1 ， 8-2 示：8-18-2配置完成后，回到主菜单，选择第 2 项查看阵列配置状态，如图 9-1,9-2 示 :9-19-2显示的是新配置的逻辑盘的状态（注意看有 with online spare 的提示， HOTSPARE 盘在阵列中没有任何指示灯提示），再按 Enter 后会出现各个物理盘的状态，如 9-3 所示：至此，按 F8 后进入的 ORCA 配置阵列完成，如果要删除阵列，可以在主菜单选择第 3 项 Delete logical drive 来删除阵列（删除阵列会导致硬盘数据完全丢失）HP SMART ARRAY 系列的阵列卡除了字符界面配置阵列外，还提供了强大的图形化阵列配置工具 Array Configuration Utility-XE(ACU-XE) ，此工具配送在随机所带 Smart Start 光盘里， ACU 可以在 Smart Star 引导服务器后启动（适合任何操作系统），或者在 MicroSoft 系列的 Windows 系列操作系统里启动，然后进行在线配置，配置过程与 Smart Start 引导服务器后启动 ACU 类似首先，将 Smart Start 光盘放进光驱里，然后重新启动服务器，进入 SmartStart 主界面，如图 1-1 示1-1在横向选择页面选择 Maintenance 选项，如 1-2 示1-2选择第一项， array configuration utility, 进入 acu 的配置界面，如 1-3 示 :1-3在 acu 配置菜单的左侧是阵列的型号，如果服务器上有多块 hp 阵列卡，在 acu 里面会全部显示出来，可选择不同的阵列卡进行阵列配置，在中间所显示的是在此阵列卡下的逻辑盘信息，可看到配置了一个 logical drive ，并且有 hotspare 盘，在右侧是阵列配置的相关选项，右上角是阵列卡的相关选项，如图 2-1 示2-1选择 Controller Settings 后进入阵列卡配置界面，可对阵列卡进行相关配置，如图2-2 示2-2普通用户保持默认即可，如需更详细资料，请参阅acu 用户手册选择 Logical Drive Array Accelerator Settings 可对 Logical Drive 启动写缓存功能（需要额外安装阵列卡电池背板 BBWC—BBWC= Battery Backed Write Cache ），某些型号的阵列卡本身不自带 BBWC ，需要额外购买。
阵列(Array)以及逻辑盘(lun)管理
阵列(Array)以及逻辑盘(lun)管理节 1.01如何创建Logical Drive使用fastt最主要的内容，就是首先要创建符合你需求的盘，右键单击下图中所示的项，选择”Create Logical Drive…”单击”Next”你就会看到如下图所示的界面，”RAID level”比较简单了，但是你在这里看不到raid0+1或者raid1+0，如果你要用这种模式的话，请选择raid1。
”Drive selection choices”项默认的是Automatic，这个项的意思就是系统会根据当前fastt的硬盘配置情况，自动作一些组合，提供一种类似于套餐的形式给你。
如果选择”Manual”的话，就可以看到如下的界面：系统会自动地在左边的列把当前所有的硬盘列出，包括容量、转速。
选择所需要的硬盘，添加到右边。
下图中展示的是将位于槽位1，2，3的盘创建为一个raid5硬盘。
槽位4的盘暂时不使用。
然后，再点击”Calculate Capacity”：就得到按照当前的盘的配置以及选择的阵列模式，可以得到的容量：单击”Next”，会有一个确认的菜单，选择”ok”即可：大家在下图中看到的是创建lun的菜单界面，这点是和传统的ssa,scsi存储的一个重要的区别。
这里解释一下lun的概念。
其实很简单。
我们传统的存储使用的概念上一般就是在阵列上通过阵列的功能生成一些raid。
然后，每个这样的一个raid都在aix操作系统里面对应一个逻辑盘，也就是hdisk了，原先的一些scsi的存储以及7133的存储都属于这种情况。
但是，现在新的一些光纤存储稍微做了一些改变。
即在raid的基础上再做”切割”。
这种切割是横向的。
每个切割下来的单元就称为一个lun。
每个lun都有若干块硬盘组成，只见的数据结构还是raid 结构。
这样的话，原先的一个raid就可以分作若干个子raid来用了。
然后，每个Lun在操作系统里面被认作一个逻辑盘，也就是hdisk了。

这里介绍一下HP Smart Array 阵列卡。
本来想在本地把所有需要总结的内容都总结下来后再发表，但是发现这边论坛大家顶的时间都比较慢，干脆写到那里就发到哪里，还能时时更新自己的帖子，算是占一个小便宜吧。
参考了很多的资料，不过支持自己原创。
下面就开始了：
自从HP并购了Compaq之后，就基本上结束了自己本身的Netserver系列的PC 服务器，主要保留了Compaq的Proliant 系列PC服务器。
相应的，NetRaid阵列卡也基本上不再继续开发，进而转入Compaq的Smart Array 系列的阵列卡。
从2001年的Smart Array 221阵列卡到现在已经经历了差不多8年的时间了。
那么这里简单介绍一下HP Smart Array 系列的阵列卡。
当然，主要介绍现在主流的阵列卡，包括SCSI阵列卡和SAS阵列卡。
这些阵列卡主要应用在HP Proliant 系列的ML/DL/BL系列服务器上。
HP Smart Array系列的阵列卡针对不同的企业用户，提供了从入门级到企业级的不同需求的阵列卡。
---拥有包括Ultra 2/3/320以及最新的SAS接口；
----单通道、双通道、四通道等不同的通道数量，使得企业在针对自己不同的应用得时候，针对成本、性能有了更多的选择和搭配的方式，四通道的阵列卡也能够满足企业需要更多硬盘容量的要求；
----外置的接口能够连接JBOD设备组成DAS结构，为企业提供更高的存储容量；
----预报警机制能够为服务器带来更方便的维护方式和提高数据的安全性；
----在线的热备盘为数据提供出色的保障；自动的重建功能使得企业维护人员能够在没有专业背景的情况下维护服务器成为可能；
----可选的带电池缓存技术能够更大幅度的提高数据的读写性能，并在突然的断电情况下保证数据的安全；
----多种阵列级别的支持为用户提供更多的选择；阵列迁移、阵列扩容也为企业硬件升级带来更高的灵活性；
----支持包括S.M.A.R.T/Drive parameter tracking / Dynamic Sector Repairing /Environment tracking for external storage system monitor等多种磁盘保护能力
-----使用图形化的配置界面、图形化的监控方式都位用户带来更加方便的安装以及维护方式；更能够支持win/linux/unix等多种操作系统
这里列举了部分的特征，下面逐一列举现在主流的阵列卡，太老的讨论也没有太大的意义。
主要
从HP G3一代的Proliant服务器上用的阵列卡说起，因为现在用G3一代的服务器的用户还有不少。
SAS接口的阵列卡主要应用于G5一代的服务器，G5以前的服务器基本都使用SCSI接口的阵列卡，很少有使用SAS接口的。
接下来我们一一看看：
首先是SCSI阵列卡：
Smart Array 5i：
在HP，带
“i”结尾的都是指集成的意思，一般集成在主板上（不过有时候也会是一块单独的卡，很少）。
也就是说Smart array 5i是集成在主板上的阵列卡，一般使用在DL360 G2、DL380 G2、DL740、DL760 G2。
这都是比较老的服务器了。
特点：
---支持Ultra 2/Ultra 3标准
---32位的结构
---两个SCSI通道（内外各一个，不过外置的不能用来接磁带机，只能接磁盘或者别的SCSI设备）
---数据的平滑迁移（如果两台服务器用的都是5i阵列卡，那么将一台服务器上的所有硬盘放在另一台服务器上，所有的数据能够正确被识别，这里主要是因为所有的Smart Array阵列卡配的阵列，阵列信息都栽硬盘上）
---支持与报警机制
---支持阵列级别的在线迁移（从一个阵列级别迁移至另一个阵列级别）
---在线的扩容
---逻辑盘的在线增容
---全局的在线热被盘
---支持RAID 5/ RAID 1, 1+0
---外置端口：Low V oltage Differential (LVD)
Smart array 5300 :
5300阵列卡包括SA5302/SA5304两种型号，并且可以配不同容量的缓存（128MB/256MB）。
5300是Ultra 3的阵列卡。
该卡最后上市应该在2004年到2005年前后。
一般用在ML350/ML370/DL360/DL380 G2/G3，以及ML530/ML570/DL560/DL580第二代、三代的样子。
具体查起来太多太杂太麻烦，如果大家需要的话我在单独查，或者大家可以打800电话查。
这也都是比较老的服务器了。
这一系列的阵列卡主要
的功能相关如下：
---支持RAID ADG（RAID 6），允许两块硬盘同时出现故障而系统不受影响
---可以对cache进行升级来提高性能（带电池的cache，最大256MB；cache带ECC校验功能）；可以从两个通道（SA-5302）升级到四通道阵列卡（SA-5304）；可以升级SAN接口模块
---2通道模块能支持最大28块硬盘，4通道模块能够支持最大56块硬盘（单块最大300GB）
---该卡采用第五代体系结构构架，使用新的硬件RAID引擎，能够较以前的阵列卡性能提高更大的幅度
---拥有Recovery ROM功能，防止在更新阵列卡Firmware的时候，更新失败，则该功能可以将阵列卡自动恢复到之前版本的Firmware，以使阵列卡正常工作
---使用Ultra 3标准能够使得数据传输速度达到160MB/s
---升级到4通道的时候，能够提高每一个PCI接口上能够连接的硬盘数量，降低成本
---64位地址寻址，能够支持超过4GB的内存容量
---在线的管理功能，包括：在线扩容、在线阵列级别的迁移、在线的条带大小调整、多热备盘支持（全局）、用户可调整的cache读写比例、用户可选择的扩容或者重建的优先级方便升级以及管理。
---可选的SAN介入模块，为用户提供更灵活的解决方案
---与报警机制保证服务器硬盘数据的安全性
---支持包括S.M.A.R.T、Drive Parameter Tracking、Dynamic Sector Repairing、Smart Array Cache Tracking、Environment Tracking for External Storage System等故障预保护功能。
