MSA1500 SAN Starter Kit HA Bundle for Windows, NetWare or Linux is designed as upgrades for the MSA1500 SAN Starter Kits. Software is needed to enable path failover. This can be Industry Standard (MPIO for Windows, QLogic for Linux) or HP Secure Path (available for all three OSes with active/passive configurations)
The HP StorageWorks 1500 cs Modular Smart Array is a 2Gb Fibre Channel SAN attached 2U controller shelf that connects to both enterprise-class SCSI and Serial ATA (SATA) disk enclosures. HP recommends SCSI drives for intensive heavy I/O requirements while SATA drives should only be used in archived, reference, or "near on-line" disk-to-disk backup configurations. This combination provides customers with a low cost, high capacity storage solution. NOTE: SCSI hard drive options have a three year warranty and SATA hard drives options have a one year warranty. This solution has been designed as a hardware foundation for which future solutions can be designed and implemented for investment protection. The MSA1500 cs with up-to-eight attached SATA enclosures can provide the customer with up to 48 TB (96 - 500 GB SATA disk drives) of native capacity. If the business requires SCSI reliability then attach up-to-four SCSI enclosures for a raw capacity of 16.8 TB (using 56 - 300 GB SCSI disks). The system supports mixing SCSI and SATA enclosures.
Features:
•Dual controllers (optional) can both be configured to provide fail-over protection. Controllers are configured as active /passive by default and in this manner support only Windows, Linux and NetWare
•Dual ACTIVE controllers can also be supported individually in HP-UX, Windows, Linux environments. Firmware to enable this feature is available as a free download.
Ability to mix primary (SCSI) and near-online (SATA) storage behind the same SAN controller for easy to install tiered storage solutions.
•RAID 6 with HP's Advanced Data Guarding technology (RAID ADG)) - Highest level of fault tolerance, allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write operations, this level of fault tolerance can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss.
•2 Gb/1 Gb Fibre connection to host - Supports both 1 Gb and 2 Gb Fibre Channel fabrics to ensure your investment in 1 Gb infrastructure is protected. Also works with the new 4Gb switches and HBAs at 2Gb speed.
•High performance controller(s) built on DAS to SAN (DtS) architecture.
•
Scalable to eight SATA enclosures for a maximum of 48 TB or four SCSI enclosures for 16.8 TB of storage capacity with four dual channel SCSI I/O modules.
•Hot plug expansion and replacement support - Hot plug expansion and replacement of hard drives and redundant controllers, for simple, fast installation and maintenance. Fans and power supplies are also hot plug replaceable. Dependent on individual operating systems.
•Key solution certified for backup and restore, file retention and compliance, replication, write once read many for disk, media and broadcasting, medical, clustering and archiving.
The MSA1500 cs provides 2 Gb Fibre Channel to the hosts. By utilizing existing SCSI drive enclosures and MSA1000/1500 controller technology and integrating the use of our lowest cost SATA hard drives and enclosures, the MSA1500 cs lowers the total cost of ownership and extends the customers hardware investments into the future. With lower cost of ownership, customers can now take advantage of tiered storage capabilities matching up data with appropriate levels of performance, availability and cost of data storage. The result is lower overall cost without giving up the needs of business applications.
The MSA1500 cs is a member of the HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array family, delivering industry-leading technology to meet today's demanding and growing storage needs. These storage solutions offer the best price performance features for direct attach environments and entry-level and mid-range SAN environments. Each solution is designed to maximize transfer rates, reduce management costs, while driving rapid return on investment.
The MSA1500 cs can be remotely managed by using management tools such as HP Insight Manager, Array Configuration Utility and the HP StorageWorks Fabric Switch Management Utility depending on the host's operating system.
