HPE - Installing HPE 3PAR - High level overview
  • Procedure to install 3PAR is same for all HPE 3PAR models 7000,8000,9000,20,000. 
  • Racking, stacking and cabling.
  • Power on the VSP(physical server for enterprise models otherwise distributed as virtual machine in OVA format) and allow it to take the IP from DHCP.
  • On web browser enter the IP address of VSP(This is the preferred method of installation by on site engineers).
  • Other methods using SmartStart and through CLI.
  • In case Web based methods and SmartStart gives trouble use Serial connection and use CLI (require console password from HPE).
  • Configure the VSP – step by step wizard (it takes 20 min) requires serial number of HPE 3PAR controller.
  • Configure InServ controllers – step by step procedure (it takes around 2 hours).
  • Provision using WUI.
  • Create CPG, virtual volume, create host group, map virtual volume to hosts.

NetApp - Replacing CN1610 to 3132Q-V in NetApp Cluster

Cisco® Nexus 3132Q-V switches are recommended when CN1610 switches reach port density.
CN1610 is 10Gb switch with 16 ports. Ports 1-12 for connecting to NetApp controllers and 13-16 for ISL to other CN1610 switch.
Cisco® Nexus 3132Q-V supports both 10GbE and 40GbE. Default configuration script supports
 6 QSFP ports 1-6 configured in 4x10GbE ports
 24 QSFP ports 7-30 configured 40GbE
 2 QSFP ports 31-32 per switch for Inter-switch Link (ISL)
Naming conventions:
CN1610-1 - 1st cluster switch
CN1610-2 - 2nd cluster switch
C3132QV-1 - 1st new cluster  switch
C3132QV-2 - 2nd new cluster  switch
Steps:
1.)  Disable automatic revert of a Cluster LIFs
2.)  Migrate Cluster LIFs from CN1610-2
3.)  Disable network ports connected to CN1610-2
4.)  Disconnect cluster network cable from CN1610-2
5.)  Disconnect the ISL between CN1610-2 and CN1610-1
6.)  Temporary ISL between CN1610-1 and C3132QV-1 using breakout cable 40GbE to 4*10GbE
7.)  Connect new cluster network cable to C3132QV-1
8.)  Enable cluster network ports
9.)  Revert migrated LIFs to C3132QV-1
10.) Migrate LIFs from CN1610-1 to C3132QV-1
11.) Disable network ports connected to CN1610-1
12.) Disconnect cluster network cable from CN1610-1
15.) Connect new cluster network to C3132QV-2
16.) Enable cluster network ports
13.) Disconnect ISL between  CN1610-1 and C3132QV-1
14.) Connect ISL between C3132QV-1 and C3132QV-2
17.) Revert migrated LIFs to C3132QV-2
18.) Enable automatic revert of cluster LIFs
