Configuration 

Step 2 - Choose Host Adapter 

Host adapters can be ordered separately to be installed in the field or they can be factory configured into controller nodes. Host adapter 

cards provide the array with additional FC ports or with 10Gb/sec iSCSI/FCoE ports. The additional FC ports can be used for connection to 

hosts or used to connect to other HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems in a Remote Copy relationship. The iSCSI/FCoE ports permit host 

connection in iSCSI and FCoE environments. 

NOTE: FCoE functionality will be enabled in a later release. 

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Host Adapters 

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 4-port 8Gb/sec Fibre Channel Adapter 

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 2-port 10Gb/sec iSCSI/FCoE Adapter 

Used in the Storage Base products (QR482A, QR483A, and QR485A) and the 

Upgrade Node Pair (QR484A). 

Because the Storage Base products and the Upgrade Node Pair include built-in FC 

ports, the host adapter cards are optional. 

QR486A and QR487A include one adapter card each. Adapters must be purchased 

in pairs. 

The QR486A includes (4) 8 Gb/s shortwave FC SFPs and the QR487A includes (2) 10 

Gb/s SFPs. 

Each node in a node pair (a node pair is composed of the two controller nodes in a 

single 2U enclosure) must have the same number and type of adapters. FC and 

iSCSI/FCoE adapters may not be intermixed in a node pair. 

The 4 ports of the FC adapter can be individually configured to connect to a host or 

to a remote array in an RC configuration. 

The two ports of the iSCSI/FCoE adapter can be individually configured by the user 

as iSCSI or FCoE (NOTE: FCoE functionality will be enabled in a later release).

Configuration 

Step 3 - Choose Drive Enclosures 

Add drive enclosures to expand the configuration and to add large form factor drives to the configuration. Drive enclosures can be 

ordered separately for installation in the field, or they can be factory configured in a rack. Drive enclosures are optional. Because the 

Storage Base products and the Upgrade Node Pair include small form factor drive bays, the minimum configuration does not require 

any additional drive enclosures. For larger configurations, attach drive enclosures. Each drive enclosure includes 24 drive bays. The HP 

3PAR StoreServ 7200 supports up to five (5) added drive enclosures. The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 supports up to nine (9) added drive 

enclosures per node pair. The two drive enclosure types can be intermixed in a single array.

The M6710 2U drive enclosure provides 24 SFF drive bays arranged in a single 

row. 

The M6720 4U drive enclosure provides 24 LFF drive bays, arranged in four (4) 

columns of six (6) slots each. 

Minimum of zero (0) drive enclosures, maximum of five (5) attached to QR482A. 

Minimum of zero (0) drive enclosures, maximum of nine (9) attached to QR483A. 

Minimum of zero (0) drive enclosures, maximum of (18) attached to QR485A. 

Drive enclosures are connected in daisy chains from the SAS ports of the 

controller nodes. 

The best practice is to balance the drive enclosures across the SAS ports, 

remembering that the controller node enclosures include (24) drives attached to 

the SAS port labeled DP-1. 

The best practice when including LFF and SFF drive enclosures in the same array 

is to arrange them in the rack so that all of the 2U enclosures that belong to one 

node pair are together and all of the 4U enclosures for that node pair are 

together. When connecting the backend SAS cables, intermix the M6710 and 

M6720 enclosures on each SAS port. 

With a four node configuration, the best practice is to attach the same number of 

drive enclosures to each node pair. 

To achieve highest availability in multi-enclosure configurations, configure a 

minimum of two (2) enclosures per node pair for RAID 1, a minimum of four (4) 

enclosures per node pair if RAID 5 is included, and a minimum of three (3) 

enclosures per node pair if RAID 6 is included. Include enclosures containing node 

pairs in the count with the M6710 enclosures. 

Drive bays that are not filled with a drive must be covered with a drive blank to 

preserve proper air flow. 

If future capacity upgrades are expected, include enough Drive Enclosures so 

that there are some empty bays in each enclosure after all drives are added.

Step 4 - Choose Drives 

Drives are orderable at the time the array is purchased, or can be added in the future when additional capacity is required. Unlike other 

HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems where drives are sold in magazines of four, HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 drives are sold as single 

drives. Note that these drives are only compatible with the M6710 and M6720 drive enclosures.

For each drive type installed in the array, the minimum recommended initial 

quantity is 

SSD and SAS performance HDDs - eight (8) drives* per node pair 

Nearline HDDs - twelve (12) drives per node pair 

Minimum upgrade quantity is 4 drives per node pair or 2 drives per enclosure, 

whichever is larger. Best practice is to run Autonomic Rebalance (also known as 

tunesys) after adding the drives. 

RAID 6 is strongly recommended for Nearline drives. 

All node enclosures must contain either zero (0) or an even number of drives. All 

drive enclosures must contain an even number of drives, with a minimum of two. 

Minimum raw capacity is 1.2TB per node pair. 

A best practice is to add equal numbers of drives to all enclosures compatible 

with the drive type being added. 

With a four node configuration, the best practice is to attach the same number 

and type of drives to each node pair. 

Small Form Factor (SFF)-specific configuration practices 

SFF drives may be loaded into the Storage Base enclosures, the Upgrade 

Node Pair enclosure and the M6710 drive enclosure. 

SFF drives must be loaded in pairs of identical drives, beginning with the 

leftmost slot, slot 0, and filling to the right, leaving no empty slots 

between drives. 

Large Form Factor (LFF)-specific configuration practices 

LFF drives may be loaded into the M6720 drive enclosure. 

LFF drives must be loaded in pairs of identical drives starting at the 

bottom of a column, leaving no empty slots between drives in the column. 

Columns of drives in the M6720 enclosure must be of the same type (SSD 

or NL) and, for HDDs, the same rotational speed. Drives of different types 

may not be mixed in a single column. It is permitted to have empty 

QR500A

Configuration 

columns between columns containing drives. Different columns do not 

have to contain the same number of drives. 

An all LFF drive configuration is permitted, leaving the Storage Base 

Enclosure empty. 

SSD specific configuration practices 

SSD-only configurations are permitted. 

Maximum of 120 SSDs per node pair. 

The SFF and LFF SSDs allow the user to create SSD volumes that stripe 

across SFF and LFF enclosures. 

* 8 drives support RAID 1 and RAID 5. For RAID 6 choose 12 drives. 

Step 5 - Choose Service Processor Implementation 

The HP 3PAR Service Processor monitors the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 and enables remote monitoring and remote servicing of the 

array. A virtual Service Processor is included free with the 3PAR Base Operating System. Each HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 requires its own 

Service Processor. The Service Processor can be installed on a VMware system (or Hyper-V system in a later release), provided by the 

customer, meeting the following specifications. 

VMware vSphere 4.1, 5.0, or 5.1 

Server listed in VMware Compatibility Guide and with the following features 

2GB RAM (minimum) 

320GB free disk space 

DVD ROM or DVD RW 

1Gb Ethernet port

the features in Suites. 

Two types of software licensing methods are employed with the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000. Some software titles are licensed per 

system, other titles are licensed by drive. With system-based licensing one license covers the whole array, independent of 

configuration or capacity. Drive-based licensing, in contrast, is licensed per installed drive. A software title with drive-based licensing 

includes two Licenses to Use (LTU), a Base LTU that enables the software feature for the system and a Drive LTU that licenses the use 

of one drive. For each software title, purchase one Base LTU per title per array, and one Drive LTU, up to a cap, for every drive that is 

installed in the array, independent of drive type. For the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 the Drive LTUs cap at 48. For the HP 3PAR StoreServ 

7400 the Drive LTUs cap at 168. After reaching the cap, you do not need to purchase any more Drive LTUs for that title.

Step 10 - Data Migration 

HP's provides several ways to migrate your data from older arrays. Peer Motion provides federation with other 3PAR arrays, which 

includes the ability to migrate data to HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage. Online Import allows you to easily migrate data from EVA 

arrays to the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000. In addition we support the MPX200 

HP MPX200 Multi-protocol and Heterogeneous Data Migration 

The HP MPX200 Multiprotocol Router provides support for P10000/3PAR F/T/V-Class, including 1GbE iSCSI and 10GbE iSCSI and FCoE 

target support. MPX200 iSCSI provides an alternative option for P10000/3PAR if you don't want to dedicate native iSCSI ports on your 

array. The MPX200 also facilitates the sharing of iSCSI/FCoE connectivity simultaneously for P10000/3PAR from the same MPX200. 

For Data Migration the MPX200 provides high performance migration from P6000/EVA to P10000/3PAR and simplifies Data Migration 

from third party storage such as IBM and EMC to 3PAR.The MPX200 is an ideal solution enabler for P10000/3PAR customers.
