HPE OneView integrates with HPE block storage arrays to provide centralized storage lifecycle management. The workflow is: add the array, then add storage pools, then provision volumes from those pools.
Supported storage families Add-OVStorageSystem supports the following -Family values:Value Array family StoreServHPE 3PAR StoreServ (default) PrimeraHPE Primera Alletra9000HPE Alletra 9000 Alletra6000HPE Alletra 6000 Alletra5000HPE Alletra 5000 NimbleHPE Nimble Storage
Adding a storage system
Gather the storage system credentials
$StorageCreds = Get-Credential - Username 3paradm - Message "3PAR/Primera admin password"
Build the parameter hashtable with port-to-fabric mappings
The -Ports hashtable maps physical host ports on the array to the FC networks in OneView. The -PortGroups hashtable groups ports together for load balancing. $params = @ { Hostname = "HPEStoreServ_1-array.contoso.com" Credential = $StorageCreds Domain = "NODOMAIN" Ports = @ { "0:1:1" = "3PAR SAN DA A" "0:1:2" = "3PAR SAN Fabric A" "1:1:1" = "3PAR SAN Fabric B" "1:1:2" = "3PAR SAN DA B" } PortGroups = @ { "0:1:1" = "PG_1" "0:1:2" = "PG_2" "1:1:1" = "PG_1" "1:1:2" = "PG_2" } }
Add the storage system and wait for the task to complete
Add-OVStorageSystem @params | Wait-OVTaskComplete
Adding a system with a virtual domain For arrays configured with virtual domains (common in multi-tenant environments), specify the domain name. The value is case-sensitive.
$params = @ { Hostname = "HP3Par_2-array.contoso.com" Username = "3paradm" Password = "3pardata" Domain = "VirtualDomain1" # Case-sensitive Ports = @ { "1:1:1" = "Fabric A" "2:1:1" = "FabricA" "1:1:2" = "Fabric B" "2:1:2" = "Fabric B" } PortGroups = @ { "0:1:1" = "PG_1" "0:1:2" = "PG_2" "1:1:1" = "PG_1" "1:1:2" = "PG_2" } } Add-OVStorageSystem @params | Wait-OVTaskComplete
Adding storage pools After the array is registered, add storage pools (CPGs on 3PAR/Primera/Alletra) to make them available for volume provisioning.
Via the storage system object (pipeline)
Multiple pools at once
Using Add-OVStoragePool directly
$StorageSystem = Get-OVStorageSystem - Name "HP3Par_1" $StorageSystem | New-OVStoragePool - PoolName "FST_CPG1" $StorageSystem | New-OVStoragePool - PoolName "FST_CPG2"
Storage pools are imported, not created. The CPG must already exist on the array. OneView discovers and manages it.
Creating storage volumes Volumes are provisioned from a storage pool. Capacity is specified in gigabytes.
Private (non-shared) volumes $Pool = Get-OVStoragePool - Name "FST_CPG1" # Create 10 private volumes named Vol1 through Vol10 1 .. 10 | ForEach-Object { New-OVStorageVolume - Name "Vol $_ " - StoragePool $Pool - Capacity 60 }
Shared volumes Shared volumes can be presented to multiple server profiles simultaneously (required for clustered workloads).
# Create 5 shared volumes of 250 GB each 1 .. 5 | ForEach-Object { New-OVStorageVolume - Name "SharedVol $_ " - StoragePool "FST_CPG2" - Capacity 250 - Shared }
Thin-provisioned volume $Pool = Get-OVStoragePool - Name "FST_CPG1" New-OVStorageVolume - Name "ThinVol01" - StoragePool $Pool - Capacity 500 - ProvisioningType Thin
Volume templates Volume templates define a standard configuration that enforces consistent provisioning across your environment. Administrators create templates; end users provision volumes from them.
$Pool = Get-OVStoragePool - Name "FST_CPG1" - ErrorAction Stop $Template = New-OVStorageVolumeTemplate ` - Name "Standard 100GB Thin" ` - Description "Corporate standard 100 GB thin-provisioned volume" ` - StoragePool $Pool ` - Capacity 100 ` - ProvisioningType Thin ` - LockProvisionType ` - LockCapacity
The -LockProvisionType and -LockCapacity switches prevent users from overriding those values when they provision from the template.
Provisioning from a template $Template = Get-OVStorageVolumeTemplate - Name "Standard 100GB Thin" - ErrorAction Stop New-OVStorageVolume - Name "AppVol01" - VolumeTemplate $Template
Attaching volumes to server profiles Volumes are attached through server profile connections. Create a volume attachment object and include it in the profile’s -StorageVolume parameter.
$Volume = Get-OVStorageVolume - Name "Vol1" - ErrorAction Stop $Profile = Get-OVServerProfile - Name "WebServer-01" - ErrorAction Stop # Add the volume attachment to the existing profile $VolumeAttachment = New-OVServerProfileAttachVolume - Volume $Volume Set-OVServerProfile - InputObject $Profile - StorageVolume $VolumeAttachment | Wait-OVTaskComplete
Including volumes in a new server profile template When building a server profile template that includes storage, add the attachment during template creation:
$Volume = Get-OVStorageVolume - Name "SharedVol1" - ErrorAction Stop $Attachment = New-OVServerProfileAttachVolume - Volume $Volume - LunIdType Auto New-OVServerProfileTemplate ` - Name "SQL Cluster Node v1" ` - ServerHardwareType $SHT ` - EnclosureGroup $EG ` - StorageVolume $Attachment
