E HP mpx100/mpx100b to MPX200 upgrade
The purpose of this appendix is to provide the steps required to replace an existing installation of
the EVA iSCSI Connectivity Kit (mpx100/mpx100b) with the MPX200 Multifunction Router. This
appendix assumes that the user is familiar with HP EVA, HP Command View EVA, SSSU, EVA
iSCSI Connectivity Kit (mpx100/mpx100b), and the MPX200 Multifunction Router. You must plan
for downtime, since this upgrade procedure requires production interruption.
To upgrade from mpx100/mpx100b to the MPX200 Multifunction Router:
1.
Using the CLI or mpx Manager, capture the mpx100 configuration backup by performing a
Save FRU on each router. This is only for backup.
2.
Capture the P6000 EVA configuration via SSSU for backup.
3.
Before shutting down all servers, shut down all applications that access the iSCSI storage.
a.
For Windows, remove all targets from the Favorite Target tab in the iSCSI applet. Remove
all IP addresses in the Discovery tab.
b.
For Linux, delete everything in the Send Targets and Nodes folders to clean up all target
information.
4.
Shut down all servers attached to the mpx100.
5.
Use the HP P6000 Command View GUI or run SSSU to unpresent LUNs.
Example 1 SSSU:
delete iscsi_lun iscsi_host="\Hosts\mpx100\BL6\BL6-02"
vdisk="\Virtual Disks\mpx100\mpx100-D002"
6.
Use the HP P6000 Command View GUI or run SSSU to delete iSCSI hosts.
7.
Remove the iSCSI Controllers in HP P6000 Command View. This succeeds after all LUNs have
been unpresented.
8.
Physically disconnect and remove the mpx100/mpx100b.
9.
Connect MPX200 to SAN Switches or directly to P6000 EVA ports as shown in
“MPX200
configuration options for P6000 EVA” (page 15)
.
10. Install/upgrade to HP P6000 Command View 9.2 or the latest version available.
11. For physical installation instructions, cable Ethernet and Fibre Channel connections, depending
on your configuration, see
“Installing the MPX200” (page 26)
.
NOTE:
Zoning may be required at this point for fabric attached configurations.
12. To configure the MPX200 (see
“Managing MPX200 iSCSI using HP P6000 Command View”
(page 31)
to configure the MPX200):
a.
Set the management port.
b.
Perform iSCSI MPX controller discovery.
c.
Set iSCSI IP Addresses.
NOTE:
Ensure that the latest firmware is installed.
13. Boot all Hosts. Configure each iSCSI initiator to perform a discovery of the MPX200 target
portals.
14. Create an iSCSI host entry for each initiator using HP P6000 Command View or SSSU.
15. Represent LUNs with the HP P6000 Command View GUI or SSSU to MPX200 iSCSI Hosts.
Example 2
ADD ISCSI_LUN VDISK=MPX200-D002 ISCSI_HOST="\Hosts\MPX200\BL6\BL6-02"
