• HP VMA SAN, AM456-9025A HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide 49 Configuration Overview Configuring vSHARE is a prerequisite to using a HP VMA SAN Gateway for block storage. The vSHARE configuration allows you to define sophisticated rules for controlling access to the LUNs by initiator groups, initiators, or target ports. Configuring target ports and initiator groups are optional steps in the vSHARE configuration process. Organizations that do not want to use LUN-masking can control access to LUNs through ports or switches. LUN masking is an authorization process used to make a logical unit number available to some hosts an

• HP VMA SAN, 22 HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide AM456-9025A Secondary Node Parameters A secondary node in a cluster automatically inherits all the global cluster parameters from the master node. Hence, there are fewer questions in the configuration wizard to answer for the standby node. The following table lists the configuration parameters for secondary nodes, along with a description for each. Cluster expected nodes Set the number of nodes (HP VMA SAN Gateways) in the cluster to "1". Change the value as in instructed in the

• HP VMA SAN, AM456-9025A HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide 29 Configuring a Secondary HP VMA SAN Gateway Node Configuring a secondary SAN Gateway node is similar to configuring an additional node in a SAN Gateway cluster (a standby or normal node). Note: If you are configuring an additional node in a cluster, you should have successfully completed the procedure described in Configuring a HP VMA SAN Gateway Master/Standalone Node on page 23. • Standby node: The second node added to the

• HP VMA SAN, 50 HP VMA SAN Gateway Installation and Configuration Guide AM456-9025A Configuring Storage Containers The first step in configuring a vSHARE HP VMA SAN Gateway is to format the HP VMA-series Arrays and create the containers needed to manage LUNs in the target storage on each Memory Array. LUNs are addressable subsets of the container in a Memory Array. When a LUN is created, it is assigned to a specific container and inherits the attributes of that container. Note: As of this release, one container comprises a HP VMA-series Array. Initializing HP VMA-series Arrays To configure a HP VMA-series Array to support block storage, first initialize the HP
