Page 25: Overview Of Hdlm
Chapter 1. Overview of HDLM HDLM is a software package that manages paths between a host and a storage system. HDLM is designed to distribute loads across multiple paths and will switch a given load to another path if there is a failure in the path that is currently being used, thus improving system reliability.
Page 26: What Is Hdlm
1. Overview of HDLM 1.1 What is HDLM? With the widespread use of data warehousing and increasing use of multimedia data, the need for high-speed processing of large volumes of data on networks has rapidly grown. To satisfy this need, networks dedicated to the transfer of data, such as SANs, are now being used to provide access to storage systems.

Page 28: Hdlm Features
1. Overview of HDLM 1.2 HDLM Features HDLM features include the following: The ability to distribute a load across multiple paths. This is also known as load balancing. When a host is connected to a storage system via multiple paths, HDLM can distribute the load across all the paths.
Page 29: Hdlm Functions
Chapter 2. HDLM Functions This chapter describes the various functions that are built into HDLM. Before the function specifications are explained though, this chapter will go into detail about the HDLM management targets, system configuration, and basic terms that are necessary to know to effectively operate HDLM.
Page 30: Devices Managed By Hdlm
2. HDLM Functions 2.1 Devices Managed by HDLM Below is a list of devices that can or cannot be managed by HDLM. The devices that can be managed by HDLM are called HDLM management-target devices. HDLM management-target devices: The following devices of the storage systems listed in Section 1.1 What is HDLM?: •...
Page 31: System Configuration
2. HDLM Functions 2.2 System Configuration HDLM manages routes between a host and a storage system by using the SCSI driver. A host and a storage system are connected via an FC-SAN or an IP-SAN. 2.2.1 System Configuration Using an FC-SAN In an FC-SAN, fiber cables connect hosts to storage systems.
Page 32 2. HDLM Functions Figure 2-1: Configuration of an HDLM System When Using an FC-SAN Table 2-1: HDLM System Components When Using an FC-SAN lists the HDLM system components when using an FC-SAN. Table 2-1: HDLM System Components When Using an FC-SAN Components Description A host bus adapter.
Page 33: System Configuration Using An Ip-San
2. HDLM Functions Components Description Path A route that connects a host and a Dev. 2.2.2 System Configuration Using an IP-SAN In an IP-SAN, LAN cables are used to connect hosts to storage systems. The cable port on the host is called a network interface card (NIC). In order to use an NIC, the iSCSI software must be installed ahead of time on the host.
Page 34 2. HDLM Functions Figure 2-2: Configuration of an HDLM System When Using an IP-SAN Table 2-2: HDLM System Components When Using an IP-SAN lists the HDLM system components when using an IP-SAN. Table 2-2: HDLM System Components When Using an IP-SAN Components Description iSCSI software...

Page 36: Lu Configuration
2. HDLM Functions 2.3 LU Configuration After you have properly installed HDLM, the LU configuration will change as follows: Before the installation of HDLM: The host recognizes that a SCSI device is connected to each path. Thus, a single LU in the storage system is recognized as though there are as many LUs as there are paths.
Page 37 2. HDLM Functions Figure 2-3: LU Configuration Recognized by the Host After HDLM Installation Table 2-3: LU Components lists the components recognized by the host. Table 2-3: LU Components Components Description HDev A Dev (partition) in an LU that the host recognizes via the HDLM driver.
Page 38: Program Configuration
2. HDLM Functions 2.4 Program Configuration HDLM is actually a combination of several programs. Because each program corresponds to a specific HDLM operation, it is important to understand the name and purpose of each program, along with how they are all interrelated. Figure 2-4: Configuration of the HDLM Programs shows the configuration of the HDLM programs.
Page 39 2.

Page 40: Position Of The Hdlm Driver And Hdlm Device
2. HDLM Functions 2.5 Position of the HDLM Driver and HDLM Device The HDLM driver is positioned above the SCSI driver. Each application on the host uses the HDLM device (logical device file) created by HDLM, to access LUs in the storage system.
Page 41: Logical Device Files For Hdlm Devices
2. HDLM Functions 2.6 Logical Device Files for HDLM Devices The logical device file name of an HDLM device is different from the logical device file name of a SCSI device. When you configure the logical device file of an HDLM device for applications such as volume management software, these applications can access the LUs that HDLM manages.
Page 42 2. HDLM Functions Figure 2-6: About Alphabetic Letters Used in the Logical Device File Name About numeric values used in a logical device file name: 1-15 indicates a partition number in the applicable LU. For example, if the logical device file name of an HDLM device is , it indicates partition sddlmaa1 1 on...
Page 43: Distributing A Load Using Load Balancing
2. HDLM Functions 2.7 Distributing a Load Using Load Balancing When the system contains multiple paths to a single LU, HDLM can distribute the load across the paths by using multiple paths to transfer the I/O data. This function is called load balancing, and it prevents a single, heavily loaded path from affecting the performance of the entire system.
Page 44 2. HDLM Functions Figure 2-7: Flow of I/O Data When the Load Balancing Function Is Not Used When the load balancing function is not used, I/O operations converge onto a single path (A). The load on that one path (A) will cause a bottleneck, which might cause problems with system performance.
Page 45: Paths To Which Load Balancing Is Applied
2. HDLM Functions Figure 2-8: Flow of I/O Data When the Load Balancing Function Is Used When the load balancing function is used, I/O operations are distributed via multiple paths (A, B, C, and D). This helps to prevent problems with system performance and helps prevent bottlenecks from occurring.
Page 46 2. HDLM Functions that uses a CHA other than the owner controller (a non-owner controller). Paths used for load balancing are selected from owner paths first, then non-owner paths. To prevent performance in the entire system from deteriorating, HDLM does not perform load balancing between owner paths and non-owner paths.
Page 47: Load Balancing Algorithms
2. HDLM Functions Data When the Load Balancing Function Is Used, the load is balanced among the four paths A, B, C, and D. If one of the paths were to become unusable, the load would be balanced among the three, remaining paths. 2.7.2 Load Balancing Algorithms HDLM has the following six load balancing algorithms: •...
Page 48 2. HDLM Functions • Extended Round Robin The paths are simply selected in order from among all the connected paths. • Extended Least I/Os The path that has the least number of I/Os being processed is selected from among all the connected paths. •...
Page 49: Performing Failovers And Failbacks Using Path Switching
2. HDLM Functions 2.8 Performing Failovers and Failbacks Using Path Switching When the system contains multiple paths to an LU and an error occurs on the path that is currently being used, HDLM can switch to another functional path, so that the system can continue operating.
Page 50 2. HDLM Functions For details on error levels, see 2.11.2 Filtering of Error Information. When the Thunder 9500V series, or Hitachi AMS/WMS series is being used, HDLM will select the path to be used next from among the various paths that access the same LU, starting with owner paths, and then non-owner paths.
Page 51 2. HDLM Functions Figure 2-10: Path Switching (2) Automatic Failbacks When a path recovers from an error, HDLM can automatically place the recovered path back online. This function is called the automatic failback function. In order to use the automatic failback function, HDLM must already be monitoring error recovery on a regular basis.
Page 52: Manual Path Switching
2. HDLM Functions Storage Platform V/VM, Virtual Storage Platform, Hitachi AMS2000 series, or Hitachi SMS is being used, all the paths are owner paths. As a result, if the path that was previously used recovers from an error, and then HDLM automatically places the recovered path online, the path that is currently being used will continue to be used (as opposed to switching over to the path that was just recovered).
Page 53: Path Status Transition
2. HDLM Functions Executing the online operation places the offline path online. For details on the operation, see 6.5 online (Places Paths Online). After a path status is online changed to online, the path can be selected as a useable path by HDLM in the same manner as automatic path switching.

When an Online or Offline(E) path exists among the paths that access the same If there is only one available online path for an LU, it cannot be placed offline by executing the...
Page 56: Monitoring Intermittent Errors (Functionality When Automatic Failback Is Used)
2. HDLM Functions 2.9 Monitoring Intermittent Errors (Functionality When Automatic Failback Is Used) An intermittent error refers to an error that occurs irregularly because of something like a loose cable. In such a case, I/O performance might decrease while an automatic failback is being performed to repair an intermittent error.
Page 57: Intermittent Error Monitoring Actions
2. HDLM Functions 2.9.3 Intermittent Error Monitoring Actions Intermittent error monitoring is performed on each path, and it automatically starts as soon as a path is recovered from an error by using the automatic failback function. This subsection describes the following intermittent error monitoring actions: •...
Page 58 2. HDLM Functions (2) When an Intermittent Error Does Not Occur If an error does not occur on a path a specified number of times within a specified interval, an intermittent error will not occur. In such a case, the error monitoring will finish when the specified error-monitoring interval finishes, upon which the number of errors is reset to 0.
Page 59: When A User Changes The Intermittent Error Information
2. HDLM Functions (3) When the Conditions for an Intermittent Error Are Changed During Error Monitoring When the conditions for an intermittent error are changed during error monitoring, the number of errors and the amount of time that has passed since the error monitoring started are both reset to 0.
Page 60 2. HDLM Functions check the IEP item displayed when the command's operation dlnkmgr view -path is executed with the parameter specified. If 0 or greater is displayed in the -iem Intermittent Error Path item, then intermittent error monitoring is being performed. Table 2-7: When Effects of a User Changing the Intermittent Error Information User operation Number of errors...
Page 61 2. HDLM Functions When you turn the intermittent error monitoring function off, information about paths not subject to automatic failback will be reset. If you do not want to reset the information about paths not subject to automatic failback when you turn the intermittent error monitoring function off, change the target paths to Offline(C) The number of errors and the time passed since error monitoring had started are...
Page 62: Detecting Errors By Using Path Health Checking
2. HDLM Functions 2.10 Detecting Errors by Using Path Health Checking HDLM can check the status of paths for which I/O operations are not being performed at regular intervals. This function is called path health checking. Without path health checking, an error cannot be detected unless an I/O operation is performed, because the system only checks the status of a path when an I/O operation is performed.
Page 63: Error Management
2. HDLM Functions 2.11 Error Management HDLM collects information for troubleshooting into log files. HDLM can also filter error information according to the error level when collecting the information. Figure 2-15: Flow of Data When Collecting Error Information shows the flow of data when collecting error information.
Page 64 2. HDLM Functions Figure 2-15: Flow of Data When Collecting Error Information Logs might be collected in layers below HDLM, such as for the SCSI driver. For more details, see the Linux documentation.
Page 65: Types Of Collected Logs
2. HDLM Functions 2.11.1 Types of Collected Logs HDLM collects information on the detected error and trace information in the process-specific-trace information file, trace file, error logs, log for the dlmcfgmgr utility for managing the HDLM configuration and syslog.
