3PAR File Persona無法配置或提示 block-only 解決方法

3PAR File Persona無法配置或提示 block-only 解決方法

HPE 3PAR一些中高端型号最新固件中已經內建了 File persona 功能也就是以後我們不需要再額外購買單獨的NAS機頭。

但是在配置的過程中發現居然找不到File persona這個功能。

新購裝置為3Par 8400 包含所有license的機型。 

初始化完存儲後登陸SMCC管理台根本找不到File persona 選項。

通過SSH工具連接配接使用指令startfs 出現以下提示

File Persona cannot be configured while the system is set to block-only mode. Please contact HPE Support for assistance."

These error messages occur because the 3PAR system Persona Profile setting is set to "block-only."

通過查詢KB發現存儲如果沒有單獨配置PCI槽位的網卡系統預設把File persona禁用也就是為什麼我們無法配置File persona的原因。

而由于一些成本的考慮往往我們會把3PAR上自帶的remote copy口用于NAS的資料口雖然官方是不推薦的。

如果要強制開啟File persona 可才考以下指令

使用指令 "showsys" 檢視配置如下

cli% showsys -param 

PersonaProfile : block-only

使用 "shownode" 檢視控制器的配置如下

cli% shownode –PersonaProfile

Node, Config, Current

0, block-only, block-only

1, block-only, block-only

使用 "setsys" 更改配置為block-preferred如下

cli% setsys PersonaProfile block-preferred

RESOLUTION

Support response instructions for specific 3.2.2 MU3 and 3.2.2 MU4 error messages:

Check if the array has one of the supported add-on NICs installed.

• HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000c 2-port 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter E7X96A

• HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000c 4-port 1Gbps Ethernet Adapter E7X97A

• HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 4-port 1Gbps Ethernet Adapter - H6Z05A

• HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 2-port 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter - E7Y70A

• HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 2-port 10Gbps Ethernet Adapter for File Persona - C8S95A

• HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 2-port 10Gbps Upgrade Ethernet Adapter for File Persona - C8S99A

If supported NICs are installed, change the PersonaProfile setting to "block-preferred" per the PersonaProfile setting change procedure below and refer the customer to the File Persona Best Practices Guide and File Persona Support Matrix for deployment best practices and supported limits.

If NO supported NICs are installed, then check if the array has empty PCI slots available.

If available PCI slots exist, recommend the customer contact an HPE Sales Representative to discuss their file requirements and purchase a File Persona license and appropriate NICs. Communicate to the customer that the NIC installer would change the PersonaProfile to "block-preferred" as part of the NIC service delivery.

If available PCI slots DO NOT exist, File Persona is licensed, and the customer wants to use an on-board RCIP port for File Persona instead of add-on NICs, then caution the customer about the performance and availability constraints of the RCIP port. Encourage them to discuss their use case with their HPE Sales Representative, if they have not done this already, and ask them if they still want to proceed.

• If yes, then change the PersonaProfile setting to "block-preferred" per the procedure below, and point the customer to follow the File Persona Best Practices Guide and File Persona Support Matrix for deployment best practices and supported limits. 

• If no, then inform the customer that File Persona cannot be enabled and to contact their HPE Sales Representative to discuss alternative file serving solutions from HPE.

PersonaProfile setting change procedure: 

To change the PersonaProfile setting from block-only to block-preferred, use the "setsys PersonaProfile block-preferred" CLI command. The CLI options for setting and viewing the profile values are hidden.

View the configured profile using "showsys" 

a. cli% showsys -param

• PersonaProfile : block-only

View the Configured and Current setting using "shownode" 

a. cli% shownode –PersonaProfile

• Node, Config, Current

• 0, block-only, block-only

• 1, block-only, block-only

Set the "sysparm" profile value using "setsys" 1.cli% setsys 

a. PersonaProfile block-preferred

NOTE: 

• Setting or changing the profile across the cluster requires rebooting each node one at a time.

• If File Persona is enabled, then the profile cannot be set to "block-only."

• If the profile is set to "block-only," then "startfs" is not allowed until the profile is changed to "block-preferred," and all nodes are rebooted.

• Arrays that do not support File Persona always show up in the "block-only" profile, and the profile cannot be changed.
