Page 6: Introduction
HP 19 inch racks. A basic P9500 disk array is a control rack (Rack- 00) that contains a controller chassis and two drive chassis (factory designation DKU).
Page 7: Controller Chassis
The following sections provide descriptions and illustrations of the P9500 disk array and its components. Figure 1 P9500 disk array NOTE: Each Rack is 600mm wide without side covers. Add 5mm to each end of entire assembly for each side cover. Controller chassis The controller chassis (factory designation DKC) includes the logical components, memory, disk drive interfaces, and host interfaces.

the rack because it is the heavier of the two units. If a system has two SVPs, both SVPs are mounted in controller chassis #0. The following illustration shows the locations of the components in the controller chassis. The controller chassis is described in more detail in “System components”...
Page 9: Features
Figure 3 Disk Unit Features This section describes the main features of the P9500 disk array. Scalability The P9500 disk array is highly scalable and can be configured in several ways as needed to meet customer requirements: The minimum configuration is a single rack containing one controller chassis and two drive chassis.
Page 10: High Performance
Figure 4 Example P9500 disk array configurations In addition to the number of disk drives, the system can be configured with disk drives of different capacities and speeds, varying numbers of CHAs and DKAs, and varying cache capacities, as follows: Two to six CHAs (each is a pair of boards).
Page 11: Connectivity
The required features for the Remote Web Console computer include operating system, available disk space, screen resolution, CD drive, network connection, USB port, CPU, memory, browser, Flash, and Java environment. These features are described in Chapter 1 of the HP XP P9000 Remote Web Console User Guide.
Page 12: Specifications
generates less heat, the fan speed is reduced, saving energy and reducing the noise level of the system. When the disk array is in standby mode, the disk drives spin down and the controller and drive chassis use significantly less power. For example, a system that consumes 100 amps during normal operation, uses only 70 amps while in standby mode.
Page 13: Software Features And Functions
The P9500 disk array provides advanced software features and functions that increase data accessibility and deliver enterprise wide coverage of online data copy/relocation, data access/protection, and storage resource management. HP software products and solutions provide a full set of industry leading copy, availability, resource management, and exchange software to support business continuity, database backup and restore, application testing, and data mining.
Page 14 Table 4 Performance management features and functions Feature Description Cache Residency Cache Residency locks and unlocks data into the cache to optimize access to the most frequently used data. It makes data from specific logical units resident in a cache, making all data accesses become cache hits.
Page 15 Web Console computer. SNMP Agent Provides support for SNMP monitoring and management. Includes HP specific MIBs and enables SNMP based reporting on status and alerts. SNMP agent on the SVP gathers usage and error information and transfers the information to the SNMP manager on the host.
Page 16 RAID Manager On open systems, performs various functions, including data replication and data protection operations by issuing commands from the host to the HP disk arrays. The RAID Manager software supports scripting and provides failover and mutual hot standby functionality in cooperation with host failover products.
Page 17: Functional And Operational Characteristics
2 Functional and operational characteristics System architecture overview This section briefly describes the architecture of the P9500 disk array. Hardware architecture The basic system architecture is shown in the following diagram. Figure 5 P9500 architecture overview The system consists of two main hardware assemblies: A controller chassis that contains the logic and processing components A drive chassis that contains the disk drives or solid state drives.
Page 18 RAID1 option can be ideal for workloads with low cache hit ratios. NOTE: When configuring RAID1 (4D+4D), HP recommends that both RAID1 (2D+2D) groups within a RAID1 (4D+4D) group be configured under the same DKA pair. Figure 6 Sample RAID1 2D + 2D layout RAID5.
Page 19: Sequential Data Striping
Figure 7 Sample RAID5 3D + 1P layout (data plus parity stripe) RAID6. A RAID6 array group consists of eight data drives (6D+2P). The data is written across the eight drives in a stripe that has six data chunks and two parity chunks. Each chunk contains either eight logical tracks (mainframe) or 768 logical blocks (open).
Page 20: Cu Images, Lvis, And Logical Units
Figure 8 LDEV striping across 2 RAID5 (7D+1P) array groups Figure 9 LDEV striping across 4 RAID5 (7D+1P) array groups All data drives and device emulation types are supported for LDEV striping. LDEV striping can be used in combination with all P9500 data management functions. CU Images, LVIs, and Logical Units This section provides information about control unit images, logical volume images, and logical units.
Page 21: Logical Volume Images
Virtual LVI or LUSE, users can concatenate multiple logical units into large volumes. For further information on VLL and Virtual LVI, see the HP XP P9000 Performance for Open and Mainframe Systems User Guide and the HP XP P9000 Provisioning for Open Systems User Guide Mainframe operations This section provides high level descriptions of mainframe compatibility, support, and configuration.

If Check Paths is performed while Business Copy Z pair and Compatible FlashCopy Mirror pair are defined in the specified volume, the Check Paths operation is rejected with a message “605 2518”.
Page 41 Table 1 1 System option modes (continued) Mode Category Description Default MCU/RCU The data is settled to RCU according to the time stamp that RCU has received. Notes: 1. This mode is applied under the following conditions. (1)Continuous Access Journal Z. (2) EXCTG configuration.

Page 43 Table 1 1 System option modes (continued) Mode Category Description Default MCU/RCU To apply the mode to TC Sync for z/OS, MCU and RCU must be RAID600 or RAID700 and micro-program must be the support version on both sides. If a failure occurs on the switched path between DKCs, Mainframe host MIH or Open server time-out may occur.
Page 44 Table 1 1 System option modes (continued) Mode Category Description Default MCU/RCU 1. This mode is applied when - a file system using THP pool VOLs is used. - Data Retention Utility is installed. 2. Because the DRU attribute is set to Protect for the V-VOL, a read I/O is also disabled.

Mode 900 = OFF (default): SOM899 is ON: I/O synchronous copy starts when the threshold of Volume Migration retry is exceeded.
Page 49 Table 1 1 System option modes (continued) Mode Category Description Default MCU/RCU Continuous Access The difference in CM allocation capacity among MPBs with Journal Z different workload is large. Mode 908 = OFF (default): The difference in CM allocation capacity among MPBs with different workload is small (existing operation) Notes: 1.
Page 50 Table 1 1 System option modes (continued) Mode Category Description Default MCU/RCU high because the migration source and target are in the same parity group or external volume group. When pool shrink is performed per pool VOL from a parity group with multiple pool VOLs defined (or from an external volume group) while the mode is set to ON, the pool shrink takes longer time compared to when the mode is set to OFF.
