Hi experts
I have been tasked to test M/C service gaurd on SAN, we are SAN manufacturing company competitors to EMC.
So my task would involve testing the SAN product with M/C service gaurd, prepare a test strategy to see if its failing over etc. I have experience with service gaurd but dont have any testing experience in SAN ie breaking the product.
Any ideas or suggestion about the steps methodolgy etc, I would really appreciate it.
Thnks
P.S. This thread has been moved from Storage Area Networks (SAN) (Enterprise) to HP-UX > Serviceguard. -HP Forum Moderator

SolutionI would suggest the following sample tests:
1.
Make a simple SAN:
- two servers
- two switches
- shared storage connected to both switches
Test the failover.
Change the switches: Brocade, McData, Cisco
Change the links between the switches:
a, separate fabric
b, build isl links between switches
2.
site 1:
- switch 1
- one server connected
- one disk array
site 2:
- switch 2
- one sever connected
- one disk array
FC remote links between switches.Test the
failover from site 1 to site 2.
3.
Test the SAN gateways:
topology:
- two switches
- san data gateway (fc/scsi) bridge
connected to one tape device and to both
switches.
- two servers
- one shared storage
Test that that the backup software can move one server to another.
Replace the scsi tape with fc and repeat the
tests ... etc
What does it mean, the SAN manufacturing company?
What kind of devices do you make?
(switches, hba-s ... etc)
Regards:
Paul

Re: Service gaurd testing with a 3rd party SAN
Thnks for your suggestions, I appreciate it. I am more interested in testing the SAN disks the company's website is www.3par.com , we are competitors to EMC, Hitachi etc.
What I am looking for is series of tests which we can to see the following
a) SCSI reservations on the 3par disks attached to the HP-UX box
b) Load tests etc
Thnks

Re: Service gaurd testing with a 3rd party SAN
Good to know about your company.
I am loking from the following provied by one of our test consulant.
A typical quality assurance test for SAN devices consists of four (4) test areas: Host Bus Adapter Driver Initialization Tests, I/O Interface Tests, Vendor Interoperability Tests, and Microsoft Cluster Server.
├в ┬в The Host Bus Adapter Driver Initialization tests include Disconnect and Topology Change Tests, Connection Tests, Port Test (fabric and arbitrated loop), and Disk Pull Tests.
├в ┬в The I/O Interface Tests consist of NT Data Corruption Test, NT Data Corruption Test, Unix Tests, Unix General Function Tests, and Unix Data Corruption Tests.
├в ┬в The Vendor Interoperability Tests focuses on verifying that the product(s) function with a variety of host bus adapter manufacturers.
├в ┬в The Microsoft Cluster Server tests include Fail Over on Clean Shutdown/Restart, Fail Over on Disastrous Shutdown/Restart, MSCS Move Group, an dHBA Failure (disconnect HBA).
Apart from that I would like to have performance testing:
1. LOAD Test, with huge IO
2. Stress Testing
3. One array connected to many hosts and Load with DB Advanced queuing
4. Break a similar link e.g CA/TC/SRDF
5. Ensure that a hot spare is working/RAID level.
Unable to thing more
