Syntax for loading KGPSA-CA storage adapter:

load KGPSA <name>

Example:

load KGPSA FGA

Note

In AlphaStation 400 configuration use the following syntax for KGPSA-CA storage adapter loading:

load KGPSA FGA irq_bus=isa

The adapter instance name ("FGA" in the example above) is used then for parametrization, for example:

Configuration parameters

The KGPSA-CA PCI FC adapter emulation has the following configuration parameters:

host_bus_location

Parameter host_bus_location

Type Text String

Value

Pass Through mode only !

Establish connection between virtual DEC-KGPSA-CA PCI FC adapter and physical EMULEX LightPulse PCI/PCI-X/PCIe FC adapter (Pass Through mode)

Syntax:

load KGPSA <controller name> host_bus_location="/dev/kgpsa<X>"

Example:

load KGPSA FGA host_bus_location="/dev/kgpsa0"

Div

wwid

Parameter

wwid[N]

N is 0..32766 (no more than 255 units)

Type Text String

Value

Sets WWID for emulated KGPSA adapter unit.

Syntax:

set <controller name> wwid[unit-number]="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"

Example:

set FGA wwid[2]="6008-05F3-0005-2950-BF8E-0B86-A0C7-0001"

Div

class	pagebreak

container

Parameter

container[N]

N is 0..32766 (no more than 255 units)

Type

Text String

Value

Possible values of the parameter are strings in one of the following forms:

Physical disk

"/dev/sd<L>", where "L" is letter, for example "/dev/sdb"
"/dev/disk/by-id/..." - addressing by the disk ID, for example "/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST1000DM003-9YN162_S1D01QJ4"
"/dev/disk/by-label/..." - addressing by the disk label, for example "/dev/disk/by-label/MyStorage"

"/dev/disk/by-uuid/..." - addressing by the disk UUID, for example "/dev/disk/by-uuid/0e808a2f-cdd3-4944-a245-f729ffd73882"
Please note that existing data on such a disk may be destroyed, depending on how it is used in the emulator.

Note
"/dev/sd<L>" addressing is not persistent, so it is strongly recommended to use "/dev/disk/by-id/wwn-*" syntax instead to refer the disk by its WWID - especially in the enviroments utilizing FC and SAN storages.

These disks must not be formatted by the host OS.

Example:

set FGA container[0]="/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST1000DM003-9YN162_S1D01QJ4"

It is also possible to use not a whole disk, but previously created partitions on it. In this case the syntax is the following: "/dev/sd<L><N>" where N is the number of partition to be used.

Example:

set FGA container[0]="/dev/sdc3".

Loop (virtual block) devices
Loop (virtual block) devices
- "/dev/loop<N>"
  Example:
  set
  
  FGA
  
  container[100]="/dev/loop0"
Multipath disk
- "/dev/dm-<N>"
- "/dev/mapper/mpath<N>"
- "/dev/mapper/disk<N>"
  Be careful not to destroy all the information from the disk dedicated to CHARON-AXP by mistake.
  These disks must not be formatted by the host OS.
  Example:
  set FGA container[200]="/dev/dm-0"
  .
File representing a physical disk of the HP Alpha system (disk image)
- [<drive>":\"<path-name>”\”]<file-name>[“.vdisk”]
  These files can be created from scratch with "mkdskcmd" utility. Data and OS disk backups are transferred from the original system via tapes or network and restored into these container files.
  Mapping may also include the full path (recommended), for example: "/my_disks/my_boot_disk.vdisk"
  Example:
  set FGA container[401]="my_dka401.vdisk"
  .

This parameter is initially not set, thus creating NO storage elements on the controller.

media_type

Parameter

media_type[N]

N is 0..32766 (no more than 255 units)

Type

Text String

Value

Instructs CHARON-AXP to use the supplied value as the PRODUCT field in the FC INQUIRY data returned to a software running on virtual HP Alpha system in response to FC INQUIRY command.

If not specified, CHARON-AXP attempts to guess the FC INQUIRY data based on virtual FC device type and underlying container (which is specified in the corresponding container configuration parameter).

Initially is not specified.

Example:

set FGA media_type[0]="HSZ70"

removable

Parameter

removable[N]

N is 0..32766 (no more than 255 units)

Type Boolean

Value

When set to "true", the removable configuration parameter instructs CHARON-AXP to report the corresponding virtual FC device as removable.

By default the removable configuration parameter is set to "false".

Example:

set FGA removable[400]=true

Div

class	pagebreak

geometry

The

X corresponds to the number of sectors per track
Y

The

corresponds to the number of tracks per cylinder
Z

The

corresponds the number of cylinders on the unit.

If omitted, Z is calculated based on X, Y and the total number of sectors on the unit that reflects the size of the disk storage element.

This is an optional parameter.
B

The

corresponds to the total size of the disk (in blocks) reported to the guest OS.

If omitted it is calculated automatically.

This is an optional parameter.

If this parameter is not set, CHARON-AXP will configure the geometry based on the most probable disk type.

Initially not set.

Example:

set FGA geometry[201] = "255/255"

It is

possiblle

possible to specify each parameter independently of another one. The following syntax is used for that:

set FGA geometry[300]="*,*,*,16777210"

Parameter	Description
Parameter	geometry[N] N is 0..32766 (no more than 255 units)
Type	Text String
Value	This formatted string value specifies the explicit geometry of the disk storage element. The string format is <X>”/”<Y>[“/”<Z>] or <X>”,”<Y>[“,”<Z>][“,”<B>] where:
X
Info

use_io_file_buffering

Parameter

use_io_file_buffering[N]

N is 0..32766 (no more than 255 units)

Type

Boolean

Value

When set to "true", instructs CHARON-AXP to enable host operating system I/O cache on read/write operations.

Note that this caching has a significant effect only in case of mapping to disk containers, not physical drives.

When enabled, host operating system I/O cache may significantly improve I/O performance of the virtual system. At the same time maintaining I/O cache requires additional host resources (CPU and memory) which may negatively affect overall performance of the virtual system.

Initially is set to "false".

Example:

set FGA use_io_file_buffering[300]=true

Div

class	pagebreak

io_queue_depth

Parameter

io_queue_depth[N]

N is 0..32766 (no more than 255 units)

Type Numeric

Value

Specifies KGPSA I/O requests (read or write) for a given unit in a range 2..128

Setting this parameter enables KGPSA instance to run up-to the specified numbers of I/O requests (read or write) for unit N in parallel, thus improving the performance.

The default value set by controller is optimal for most of the cases. It may be needed to enlarge this number if guest OS I/O queue for a certain unit contains too much pending entries. In this case the value should be equal to an average size of the queue, collected statistically.

Please do not set this parameter without clear understanding of the purpose.

By default parallel execution of I/O requests is disabled.

Example:

set FGA io_queue_depth[603]=4

min_n_of_threads

Parameter

min_n_of_threads

Type Numeric

Value

Instructs KGPSA I/O to reserve a given number of working threads in a range 1..64, thus improving the performance.

All units of KGPSA instance share the I/O threads.

The default value is equal to number of units plus 2.

For optimization it is possible to set this parameter to sum of the "io_queue_depth" parameters for each unit plus 2. This assumption seems optimal for most of the cases.

Please do not set this parameter without clear understanding the purpose.

Example:

set FGA min_n_of_threads=16

When a disk image connected to an emulated KGPSA-CA controller is dismounted by OpenVMS, it is disconnected from CHARON-AXP and can be manipulated. It can be replaced with a different disk image if it keeps the same name. This capability may be useful when designing back-up and restore procedures. When copying CHARON-AXP disk images while CHARON-AXP is running, please take care to minimize the risk of overloading a heavily loaded CHARON-AXP host system. For example, using a sequential series of simple ftp binary copies is less resource intensive and thus less disruptive than multiple, simultaneous copies.

...

In this mode KGPSA-CA PCI FC adapter can be directly mapped to physical disks (both local and iSCSI) and disk images as shown in the following example:

set FGA container[0]="/my_disks/my_dka401.vdisk"set FGA container[100]="/dev/sdb"
set FGA container[200]="/dev/sdc2"
set FGA container[300]="/dev/dm-0"

See the "Configuration parameters" section for details.

To add PPT driver for EMULEX LightPulse PCI/PCI-X/PCIe FC to Linux startup do the following:

Step Description

1 Disable auto-loading of Linux standard "lpfc" driver on boot. To do that add "blacklist lpfc" to the black list file "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf"

2

Copy the KGPSA-CA kernel module to the location of Linux kernel modules, for example:

Div

class	small

# cp

# cp /opt/charon/drivers/kgpsa/ppt_kgpsa.ko /lib/modules/3.10.9-200.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/

The particular path may be different, depending on the kernel version and Linux distribution.

3

Enable auto load of the module:

# echo

# echo ppt_kgpsa > /etc/modules-load.d/ppt_kgpsa.conf

4

Regenerate new "initramfs" image with "mkinitrd":

# mkinitrd

# mkinitrd -f /boot/initramfs-3.10.9-200.fc20.x86_64.img 3.10.9-200.fc20.x86_64

The particular path may be different, depending on the kernel version and Linux distribution.

...

It provides the following functionality:

Command Description

fc rescan {/verbose}

Scans connected SAN using FC adapters, discovers FC ports, storage controllers, logical units and then builds volatile FC database.

The "/verbose" qualifier enables FC communication trace on console (for diagnostic and troubleshooting).

fc show {adapter | port | device}

Displays corresponding part of volatile FC database.

fc set {boot | dump} udid <X>

Fills the environment variables wwid0..wwid3 and n1..n4 to identify path(s) to logical unit with the specified UDID.

These variables are later used by "INIT" to create device database entries and by OpenVMS/Tru64 to get access to boot and dump disks.

This command does NOT make any change to other environment variables.

fc set {boot | dump} wwid <X>

Fills the environment variables wwid0..wwid3 and n1..n4 to identify path(s) to logical unit with the specified WWID.

These variables are later used by "INIT" to create device database entries and by OpenVMS/Tru64 to get access to boot and dump disks.

This command does NOT make any change to other environment variables.

This parameter is useful if UDID is absent.

Note

Only right part of the displayed WWID is used for specification, for example:

P00>>>fc set boot wwid 6000-1fe0-0000-0bf0-3030-3030-3030-3030

fc clear

Clears environment variables wwid0..wwid3 and n1..n4, which automatically disable (but do NOT delete) device database entries representing FC attached devices.

This command does NOT affect volatile FC database.

The CHARON-AXP FC Fabric presentation mode allows to use Linux FC HBA directly. When using this mode, there is no need to load KGPSA adapter(s) as it was described before. The following syntax has to be used instead:

Example:

load kgpsa_generic_storage PGA interface="host3"

Below please find step-by-step explanation on how to configure "kgpsa_generic_storage" instance.

link_up_delay

The delay in seconds, port suspend reporting the link up waiting for Linux FC infrastructure creation. Default is 120 seconds.

When FC wire is removed and then plugged in, Linux rebuilds all the FC objects with new devices names, etc. Fabric presentation mode senses the link up and down events, but optionally it may delay reporting the event (for the given amount of seconds) to let Linux fully initialize FC. If delay is 0, guest OS may start initialization too early and thus fail to find some or all objects.

Example:

load

kgpsa_generic_storage

link_up_delay=80

link_poll_period

The link check poill interval in seconds Default is 1 second.

When FC wire is removed and then plugged in, Linux rebuilds all the FC objects with new devices names, etc. Fabric presentation mode senses the link up and down events, but optionally it may delay reporting the event (for the given amount of seconds) to let Linux fully initialize FC.

emu_fabric

The way the emulation deals with fabric:

Value	Description
auto	Delegates to Linux if supported, otherwise emulates
no	Delegates to Linux (real physical fabric port connected too)
yes	Emulates

Qlogic does not map SG devices for ELS/CT traffic. To work around this, Fabric presentation mode implements emulation of the whole non FCP (scsi) communication over fabric. If fabric is emulated, guest OS will not see non FCP target ports (for example initiators) and will not be able to communicate with ELS/CT over fabric.
