Configuring the storage on a HGR-STOR-2 server (EN)

Objective

Your HGR-STOR-2 server presents the same disks under different logical devices of the operating system.

Depending on the systems, without any specific post-configuration, this architecture can cause confusion (where is my data?) or even collisions (unintentional access to the same physical disk for different uses), which could cause the loss of your data.

Depending on your system, you may need to do a post-configuration to set up multipath features.

The Multipath allows you to aggregate different access possibilities to the same disk (path) as a single logical device.

This documentation details:

compatible OVHcloud templates (tested by our teams)
the OS post-configuration procedure

This guide documents a configuration with 102 disks, but the information is also valid for other configurations.
The configuration detailed in this guide is not equipped with NVMe disks (these are optional).
You will only find the latest versions of the systems.
All tested Debian versions detect only 2 paths and not 4, which would lead to LVM collisions.

Requirements

An HGR-STOR-2 server

Instructions

In addition to its internal disks, the server supports up to 102 disks of 14TB type SAS.

Storage disks have:

Internet access
2 access via SAS controller.

There are 4 ways to access a disk:

SAS Controller 1 - Path 1-> Disk
SAS Controller 1 - Path 2-> Disk
SAS Controller 2 - Path 1-> Disk
SAS Controller 2 - Path 2-> Disk

Here is a logical view:

Linux LVM Warning

Create your PVs only on multipath devices of type /dev/mapper/mpathXX.

For example:

Creation of PVs:

[root@nsxxxxxx ~]# pvcreate /dev/mapper/mpathb /dev/mapper/mpathc
Physical volume "/dev/mapper/mpathb" successfully created.
Physical volume "/dev/mapper/mpathc" successfully created.

Creation of a VG

[root@nsxxxxxx ~]# vgcreate vg_test01 /dev/mapper/mpathb /dev/mapper/mpathc
  Volume group "vg_test01" successfully created
[root@nsxxxxxx ~]# vgs

Creation of a LV

[root@nsxxxxxx ~]# lvcreate --name lv_test01 --size 1To vg_test01
  Logical volume "lv_test01" created.

ZFS warning on Linux

Create your zfspool only on multipath devices of type /dev/mapper/mpathXX.

For example:

[root@nsxxxxxx ~]# zpool create -f zfspool /dev/mapper/mpathe /dev/mapper/mpathf /dev/mapper/mpathg
[root@nsxxxxxx ~]# zpool status
  pool: zfspool

ESXi-7

ESXi does not need to install any additional components, the multipath is automatically managed.

If necessary, you can perform the checks described below.

Checks

Connect via SSH in shell on your ESXi.

Adapter List

Verify that ESXi has detected both SAS controllers of the following types:

View via the web interface

Select Storage, then select the Devices tab.

Filter the results with the keyword WDC.

At the bottom of the list, you must have a count of 102 disks (or 50, depending on the configuration used).

Add a datastore

Select Storage, then select the Datastores tab.

Click the New datastore icon.

Name your Datastore at your convenience (ds-hgr-sto3-01 in the example below).

Select one of the disks shown.

The disks presented by the HGR-STOR-2 are named Local WDC Disk (naa.xxxxxxxxxxxx).

Partitioning options:

By default, the entire disk is allocated (no partitioning).

Final confirmation:

At this point, you can modify your choices or cancel the creation of the Datastore if necessary.
Otherwise, click Finish.

An information message reminds you that the selected disk will be completely erased.

Your datastore is now available.

Datastore extension

Select the datastore to extend.

Click the Increase capacity icon.

Select Add an extent to existing VMFS datastore.

Select one of the devices shown.

By default, the entire disk will be used.

An information message reminds you that the selected disk will be completely erased.

Your Datastore is now extended.

The example below documents an increase from 12.73 TB to 25.47 TB.

Add an LVM storage node to Proxmox

It is necessary to create the Volume Groups (VG) manually so that Proxmox can use them.

Example: creating a VG on 3 PV multipath.

root@nsxxxxxxx:~# pvcreate /dev/mapper/mpathb
Physical volume "/dev/mapper/mpathb" successfully created.
root@nsxxxxxxx:~# pvcreate /dev/mapper/mpathc
Physical volume "/dev/mapper/mpathc" successfully created.
root@nsxxxxxxx:~# pvcreate /dev/mapper/mpathd
Physical volume "/dev/mapper/mpathd" successfully created.
root@nsxxxxxxx:~# vgcreate vg_hgrstore01 /dev/mapper/mpathb /dev/mapper/mpathc /dev/mapper/mpathd
  Volume group "vg_hgrstore01" successfully created

root@nsxxxxxxx:~# vgs
  WARNING: PV /dev/md5 in VG vg is using an old PV header, modify the VG to update.
  VG            #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize   VFree
  vg              1   1   0 wz--n- 424.50g     0
  vg_hgrstore01   3   0   0 wz--n-  38.20t 38.20t

Add the storage node:

In the Proxmox interface, select your node, then LVM.

Click the Reload button.

The new VG is now listed.

Select Datacenter -> Storage;
then click on the Add button -> LVM;
enter the ID with your storage name, and the target VG you have just created.

Once you have set your configuration, click the Add button.

The storage is now available.

You can use it for deploying VMs or other devices.

Add a ZFS storage node to Proxmox

It is necessary to create the ZFS pools manually so Proxmox can use them.

Example: creating a pool on 2 multipath disks.

root@nsxxxxxxx:~# zpool status
pool: zfspool01
state: ONLINE
config:

NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
zfspool01 ONLINE 0 0 0
mpathe ONLINE 0 0 0
mpathf ONLINE 0 0 0

errors: No known data errors
root@nsxxxxxxx:~# zfs create zfspool01/fs01
root@nsxxxxxxx:~# zfs create zfspool01/fs02

In the Proxmox interface:

Select Datacenter -> Storage.
then click the Add button -> ZFS.

Enter the ID with your storage name, and select one of the ZFS Target Pools you have just created.

Your Proxmox storage is now usable.

Windows Server 2019

Post-configuration

Step 1 - Installing the `MPIO` feature

Via Powershell

Install-WindowsFeature -Name Multipath-IO

Via Server Manager

Whichever method you use, restart the server to finalize the component installation.

Step 2 - Add storage in MPIO

Via Powershell

Retrieve the VendorId and HardwareId storage information:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-MPIOAvailableHW

VendorId ProductId        IsMultipathed   IsSPC3Supported BusType
-------- ---------        -------------   --------------- -------
WDC      WUH721414AL5201  False           False           SAS

Add the device using the previously retrieved VendorId and HardwareId information:

PS C:\Windows\system32> New-MSDSMSupportedHw -VendorId WDC -ProductId WUH721414AL5201

VendorId ProductId
-------- ---------
WDC      WUH721414AL5201

Check that the device is now properly registered:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-MSDSMSupportedHw

VendorId ProductId
-------- ---------
Vendor 8 Product       16
WDC      WUH721414AL5201

The default storage Vendor 8 Product 16 is not used. You can leave it or remove it (in the latter case, use the Remove-MSDSMSupportedHw command).

Via Server Manager

Launch the MPIO control panel. To do this, go to the Start menu and search for MPIO.

In the Discover Multi-Paths tab, select the device listed in the Others window and then add it by clicking the Add button:

Whichever method you use, restart the server to apply the configuration change.

Step 3 - Configuring the Default Balancing Policy for MPIO

Via Powershell

This is the recommended method because using Server Manager will require you to set policy for each disk.

PS C:\Windows\system32> Set-MSDSMGlobalDefaultLoadBalancePolicy -Policy RR

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-MSDSMGlobalDefaultLoadBalancePolicy
RR

Possible policies are:

Policy	Description
None	Default workload balancing policy.
FDO	Fail Over Only: A policy that does not perform load balancing. This policy uses only one active path, other paths are fallback paths.
RR	Round Robin: Load balancing policy that allows all available paths for MPIO to be used in a balanced way.
LB	Least Blocks Load balancing policy that sends I/O to the path with the least data blocks currently being processed.

Via Server Manager

This method is not recommended because it requires setting the policy for each disk.

Since the MPIO is already installed, the MPIO tab is accessible in the disk properties.

Once you have completed these three steps, you can list the disks:
