ME4024 replacing existing 10K SAS Volumes with SSD Volumes.
Hi,
I would appreciate any help you can provide, confirming if I'm following the correct process & not missing any steps. I want to replace 2*SAS 10K Disk Pools with 2*SSD Disk Pools on a live Hyper-V Cluster using a PowerVault ME4024.
Current Setup New Setup
1*ME4024 1*ME4024
Pool 1: 5*SSD SAS 1.92TB Pool 1: 5*SSD SAS 1.92TB
Class: Linear No Change
Raid 6
Locations 0.0 - 0.4
Dedicated SP Location 0.5
Pool 2: 8*10K SAS 2.4TB Pool 2: 6*SSD SAS 3.84TB Dell N85XX
Class: Linear Class: Linear
Raid 6 Raid 6
Locations 0.6 - 0.13 Locations 0.6 - 0.11
Dedicated SP Location 0.22 Dedicated SP Location 0.12
Pool 3: 8*10K SAS 2.4TB Pool 3: 6*SSD SAS 3.84TB Dell N85XX
Class: Linear Class: Linear
Raid 6 Raid 6
Locations 0.14 - 0.21 Locations 0.13 - 0.18
Dedicated SP Location 0.23 Dedicated SP Location 0.19
LUN 100: "Cluster-Quorum-VOL-0" LUN 100: "Cluster-Quorum-VOL-0"
Pool 3 Pool 2
LUN 101: "SSD-VOL-1" LUN 101: "SSD-VOL-1"
Pool 1 Pool 1
LUN 102: "SAS10K-VOL-2" LUN 102: "SSD-VOL-2"
Pool 2 Pool 2
LUN 102: "SAS10K-VOL-3" LUN 102: "SAS10K-VOL-3"
Pool 3 Pool 3
Plan:
1. In Failover Cluster Manager Move all VMs/Data off LUN 102: "SAS10K-VOL-2" onto the other volumes
2. In Failover Cluster Manager select “Take Offline” & then “Remove from Cluster Shared Volumes”
LUN 100: Cluster-Quorum-VOL-0
LUN 102: SAS10K-VOL-2
3. In ME4024 PowerVault Manager Remove Dedicated Hot Spare for "Pool 2: 8*10K SAS 2.4TB"
4. In ME4024 PowerVault Manager Remove Mapping for:
LUN 100: Cluster-Quorum-VOL-0
LUN 102: SAS10K-VOL-2
5. In ME4024 PowerVault Manager Delete Volumes:
LUN 100: "Cluster-Quorum-VOL-0"
LUN 102: "SAS10K-VOL-2"
6. In ME4024 PowerVault Manager Delete "Pool 2: 8*10K SAS 2.4TB"
7. Physically remove 9*10K SAS 2.4TB
8. Insert 7*3.84TB SAS SSD into Locations 0.6-0.12
9. Create Pool "SSD-VOL-2"
Raid 6 Location 0.6 to 0.11
10. Create Volume "SAN-001-CLUSTER-QUORUM-TEMP" 2GB
Lun 104 Linear write-back Optimization: standard Read-ahead Size: Adaptive Ports: 0,1,2,3
11. Create Mapping "SAN-001-CLUSTER-QUORUM-TEMP" LUN 104
12. Log onto all Hosts and click Rescan within Disk Management
13. Check Failover Cluster Manager can see new CSV
14. Check Failover Cluster Manager & ME4024 PowerVault Manager for alerts/warnings
15. Assuming all looks OK Move Quorum to "SAN-001-CLUSTER-QUORUM-TEMP" LUN 104
16. "Validate Cluster" & confirm using "SAN-001-CLUSTER-QUORUM-TEMP" for Quorum
17. Remove Mapping "Cluster-Quorum-VOL-0" LUN 100
18. Delete Volume "Cluster-Quorum-VOL-0" LUN 100
19. Create Volume "SAN-001-CLUSTER-QUORUM" LUN 100 2GB
Lun 100 Linear write-back Optimization: standard Read-ahead Size: Adaptive Ports: 0,1,2,3
20. Create Mapping "SAN-001-CLUSTER-QUORUM" LUN 100 to:
21. Log onto Hosts and click Rescan within Disk Management
22. Check Failover Cluster Manager can see new CSV
23. Check Failover Cluster Manager & ME4024 PowerVault Manager for alerts/warnings
24. Assuming all looks OK Move Quorum to "SAN-001-CLUSTER-QUORUM" LUN 100
25. "Validate Quorum Configuration" & confirm using "CSG-SAN-001-CLUSTER-QUORUM" for Quorum
26. Remove Mapping "SAN-001-CLUSTER-QUORUM-TEMP" LUN 100
27. Delete Volume "SAN-001-CLUSTER-QUORUM-TEMP" LUN 100
28. Create Volume "SSD-VOL-2"
Lun 102 Linear write-back Optimization: standard Read-ahead Size: Adaptive Ports: 0,1,2,3
29. Create Mapping "SSD-VOL-2" LUN 102 to:
30. Add Dedicated Spare Location 0.12
31. Log onto Hosts and click Rescan within Disk Management
32. Check Failover Cluster Manager can see new CSV
33. Check Failover Cluster Manager & ME4024 PowerVault Manager for alerts/warnings
34. Assuming all looks OK perform a Disk Scrub
35. Assuming Disk Scrub successfully completes, Test Storage by Migrating 1 VM Storage onto "SSD-VOL-2", once migrated reboot and test connectivity (RDP & ping www.bbc.co.uk)
36. Migrate remaining VM storage to "SSD-VOL-2"
Repeat for LUN 102: "SAS10K-VOL-3"
Many Thanks in advance,
David
