Overview

HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway

 

The HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway offers fast data protection and backup in complex SAN environments. It is a multi-node gateway solution for the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) that scales up to eight nodes,offers industry-leading performance and easily scales in performance and capacity to 4800 MB/sec and 1080 TB of useable storage with 2:1 hardware compression. The HP VLS12000 now supports the licensing of Accelerated deduplication which retains up to 50 times more data readily available on disk. Accelerated deduplication delivers fast backup and restore performance since the deduplication is a post backup process, the most recent backup is always in tact.

The HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System offers cost-effective data protection and on-going management. It integrates seamlessly into existing backup applications and processes. Your valuable data is protected by HP, your trusted and experienced storage vendor. It is a highly available solution using HP ProLiant servers with redundant subsystems: fans, power supply units, and hardware-mirrored system disks. As storage requirements grow, the VLS12000 matches the environment by scaling both capacity and performance. Although the VLS12000 is a multi-node gateway product, it is managed as a single virtual library device.

Product Highlights

Investment protection through scaling both capacity and performance As environments and needs change, so does the VLS Gateway - capacity and performance can be scaled by provisioning additional storage from existing EVA arrays, or a new HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System can be designed using dedicated EVA Storage Arrays.

Seamless integration

The HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway is deployed, managed and operated just like a tape library minimizing disruptions to your environment. Emulations include the HP ESL E-series and MSL tape libraries as well as 1/8 autoloaders. The HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System gateway also emulates the HP Ultrium 230 (LTO-1), HP Ultrium 460 (LTO-2), HP Ultrium 960 (LTO-3), HP Ultrium 1840 (LTO-4 Available in September 2008), DLT 7000, DLT 8000, and SDLT 320.


Fast data restoration and backup performance A multi-node gateway solution for the EVA that offers industry-leading performance and easily scales in performance and capacity to 4800 MB/sec and 1080 TB of useable storage, with 2:1 hardware compression without impact on performance. Accelerated deduplication (an optional license) retains up to 50 times more data readily available on disk. Accelerated deduplication delivers fast backup performance since the deduplication process does not impact the backup.

Reliability While the HP 12000 Virtual Library Systems contains reliable hardware featuring hot plug disk drives, standard redundant power supplies and fans, the real reliability is for your data protection process. Simplifying the process by which storage is shared means fewer errors occur, allowing your process to run more smoothly and faster.

Automigration The HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System supports Automigration. The initial release of these services is in the form of a "disk cache to tape", called "echo copy", which allows copies of data to be moved off the virtual library to a physical library or another VLS under the control of the VLS, not the backup application. Future updates will allow full integration with ISVs via SMI-S 1.3 specifications supporting what we will call "smart copy". Automigration is an HP developed intellectual property. It will be further leveraged when HP delivers Accelerated deduplication enabling low-bandwidth replication.

Automigration - Echo Copy Echo copy can streamline the process and reduce the costs of making physical tape cartridges from virtual tape cartridges, for vaulting and off-sitting purposes. Echo copy is run through the Automigration software (a tab on the VLS GUI), not the backup application. It acts as a transparent disk cache to the physical library, so that the backup application writes to virtual cartridges in the virtual library, and Automigration then automatically schedules the copies from virtual cartridges to their matching physical cartridges (with the same barcodes) based on the Automigration policies the user establishes.

Since Echo copy is managed through the Automigration software, not the backup application, the destination library is not visible to the backup application - so no licensing is required. Copy traffic is no longer routed through the SAN which speeds up the copy process. Since the tape library is dedicated to the VLS no copy servers are required. Echo copy also eliminates the need for tape-to-tape copy administration since this is automated through copy policy management. All destination tapes created by echo copy are in the native tape format, so they can be easily restored directly from any tape drive or library that is visible to the backup application.

However, keep in mind that since the backup application does not have visibility to the physical tape library, the backup application will not be aware of any copy failures. These errors are visible and must be managed though VLS. In addition, any mistakes in destination library media management will also affect the virtual cartridges. For example, if new tapes are not loaded into the destination library, both the virtual copy and the physical copy will not exist. Finally, the destination library is dedicated to VLS and can only be used for copy operations.


Automigration - Smart Copy Smart copy provides the same capabilities with one important exception. Smart copy allows the backup ISV to initiate the copy with the VLS12000 actually implementing the move. The cartridge bar codes between the two copies are different and the backup ISV is able to track the move. SMI-S 1.3 support is required by the ISV in order to be able to implement Smart copy.

Accelerated Deduplication The VLS12000 will support capacity licensing for Accelerated deduplication in September 2008.. The data deduplication capacity LTU will be licensed by the # of EVA LUNS presented to the VLS. The customer must know how many LUNS the VLS is using before ordering. (use CV-VLS). One license per 2 TB LUN (T9709A) is required and available in September 2008. Accelerated deduplication retains up to 50 times more data readily available on disk by replacing redundant blocks of data with pointers to the original block. Accelerated deduplication delivers fast backup performance since the deduplication process does not impact the backup. Accelerated deduplication delivers fast restore performance since the latest backup copy is always retained in its entirety while data reduction occurs on the previous backups. The VLS12000 can scale data deduplication performance by simply adding additional nodes. Accelerated deduplication needs to recognize the specific backup application being used since it initially strips out the cartridge headers in order to decompose all the files and data types in order to do file-level comparisons to previous backups.

HP VLS12000 Data Deduplication Capacity LTU HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System Data Deduplication Capacity LTU T9709A
  • The data deduplication capacity LTU will be licensed by the # of EVA LUNS presented to the VLS. The customer must know how many 2 TB LUNS the VLS is using before ordering. (use CV-VLS). One license per LUN (T9709A) is required and will be available in September 2008.
 
NOTE: The VLS12000 will be supported with Accelerated deduplication in September 2008
NOTE: In addition to the capacity deduplication licensing for VLS here are four other key considerations:
  1. There is a REQUIREMENT to add 12 GB RAM (16 GB RAM required) to each ProLiant server node of the VLS platform to support data deduplication. This involves ordering the following part numbers for each node:
    397413-B21 HP 4GB FBD PC2-5300 2x2GB Kit
    397415-B21 HP 8GB FBD PC2-5300 2x4GB Kit
  2. VLS firmware level 3.0 must be used to support data deduplication. This firmware will only be available (initially) as a web download. An optional half day HP service is available to upgrade the VLS firmware and install the additional 12 GB of memory (customer must order this separately).
  3. You will need to reference the following website for configuration, capacity and performance considerations for sizing VLS Accelerated deduplication configurations and use models. http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/nav?h_pagetype=s-01&h_lang=en&h_cc=us&h_product=470404&h_client=s-a-r163-1&h_page=hpcom&lang=en&cc=us
  4. Accelerated deduplication needs to recognize the specific backup application being used since it initially strips out the cartridge headers in order to decompose all the files and data types in order to do file-level comparisons to previous backups. Check the EBS website for the latest Accelerated deduplication supported backup ISVs and data types http://www.hp.com/go/ebs.deduplication

NOTE: The entire VLS device (provisioned by the EVA) must be licensed for deduplication - no partial licenses supported. Deduplication licenses will be installed via the VLS GUI license plug-in, or via a CommandView for Tape Libraries management station.

Configuration Information

NOTE: For rack-mount units only.
Step 1 – Select a Configuration
  HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System Gateway Base Library
AH814A

 
Step 2 – Add additional nodes and enable additional capacity(optional)
 
  HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System Gateway Node Expansion Kit
AH815A
NOTE: consult the tables in "Technical Specifications" to determine the optimal number of nodes for the amount of storage in your system
HP StorageWorks Virtual Library System Gateway Capacity Expansion License
T4430A

NOTE: To determine the number of licenses required (T4430A) use the following equation:
(Total number of EVA LUNs desired) - (25) - (10 x the number of expansion kits) = the number of additional licenses required
NOTE: Recommended configuration is for each LUN to be 2TB. Configurations with LUNs configured to less than 2 TB are supported; however, the licensing is per LUN resulting in less than optimal utilization of licenses.

 

Step 3 - Select appropriate EVA (optional)
  • Add additional HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays (EVAs) or expand existing EVAs.
  • See the EVA QuickSpecs at: http://www.hp.com/go/eva

Step 4 - Select appropriate Services/Support
  • Installation and Startup for SAN based libraries is required. (Details of specific part numbers in service section.)
  • Choose support uplift type. There are different service uplifts uplifting years of service, hours of availability and response time. HP recommends three year 24X7 support uplifts for SAN libraries. (Details of specific part numbers in service section.)

Step 5- Select the Appropriate Rack (optional)
