DtS Architecture

(Direct Attach to SAN)

Data Migration

DtS (Direct Attach to SAN) architecture is an exclusive MSA1000 feature that provides a quick and easy way to

migrate stored data protected by most Smart Array controllers to a MSA1000 storage system.

Data that is currently stored on 1" Universal disk drives using recent HP Smart Array controllers, as well as data on a

RA4100 can easily be migrated to the MSA1000. Simply remove the drives from the older systems and insert them

into the MSA1000. All configuration information and data will be preserved allowing migration to be completed in

minutes, not hours or days. Refer to the MSA1000 DtS Data Migration White Paper for a list of compatible Smart Array

controllers and further details.

Broad Server, Operating

System and FC

Interconnect support

The modular and scalable design of the MSA1000 provides an extremely flexible platform. You can buy what you

need today and purchase additional capacity and performance as your data storage needs grow, instead of making a

large up-front investment. Additional drives, controllers, cache, fabric switches and storage enclosures can easily be

added, as your storage needs change.

Fabric Support for 1 Gb and 2 Gb Infrastructure

– The MSA1000 supports both 1 Gb and 2 Gb Fibre

Channel fabrics to ensure that your investment in 1 Gb infrastructure is protected.

Optional embedded interconnects

– Both the MSA SAN Switch 2/8 and the MSA Hub 2/3 require no rack

space as they are installed in the MSA1000's chassis. This not only saves valuable rack space (up to 2U

saved) but also eliminates some of the cabling needed with external interconnects. The MSA SAN Switch 2/8

ships with 4 SFPs installed and the MSA Hub 2/3 ships with 2 SFPs.

Universal Hard Drive

– Since the MSA1000 supports HP Universal 1" Ultra2, Ultra3 and Ultra320 drives, your

investment in SCSI technology is protected and cost is minimized as you add new drives. Sharing of a

common universal drive form factor between your servers and storage can significantly reduce needs for

hardware and spare inventory, and offer overall reduction in storage management and business costs.

Pre-Failure Warranty

– Drives installed in an MSA1000 and monitored under Insight Manager are supported

by a Pre-Failure (replacement) Warranty.

NOTE:

Pre-Failure Warranty allows for the replacement of designated drives in an MSA1000 before they

actually fail when using Insight Manger on ProLiant servers.

NOTE:

Some operating systems may not support all of these features.

Multi-platform Intel

®-

based Server Support

– The MSA1000 offers Multi-platform Intel-based (x86)

server support to allow a broad range of Intel-based servers to take advantage of the MSA1000's scalability,

flexibility and connectivity, and supports ACU and Insight Manager. When used with a ProLiant server, the

MSA1000 also provides unparalleled integration with the MSA1000 Support CD and Pre-Failure Warranty

support.

Alpha server support

– The MSA1000 also supports Alpha-based servers operating in a Tru64 UNIX or

OpenVMS environment. This support is enabled by replacing the controller firmware that comes standard with

the MSA1000. Refer to the MSA1000 QuickSpecs for Alpha servers for details.

HP-UX PA-Risc and Itanium-based server support

- In April of this year HP announced basic MSA1000

HP-UX support in limited, homogeneous configurations. Coverage extends to HP-UX 11.11, and 11.23 and a

wide-ranging list of Integrity and HP9000 servers.

Integrated Configuration and Management Tools

– The MSA1000 utilizes a standard, integrated set of

management and utility software. These tools consistently lower the cost of ownership by reducing training

and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain the MSA1000.

The MSA1000 comes with/supports the following configuration and management tools depending on what operating

system:

Configuration

(solution chosen as

appropriate for operating

system)

Array Configuration Utility

(ACU). ACU is a browser-based disk

configuration utility that lets you view, set up, and configure the array

controllers and storage systems.

Command Line Interface

(CLI)

Management/Health

(solution chosen as

appropriate for operating

system)

Insight Manager

(IM)

EMS

Used in conjunction with HP-UX servers

Array Diagnostics Utility

(ADU) This utility collects information about the

array controllers in the system and generates a list of potential problems it has

identified. It produces a report that can be saved to a diskette and analyzed by

support technicians to aid in problem resolution.

ACU/ADU Bootable Utility

(solution chosen as

appropriate for operating

system)

The

MSA1000 Support Software CD

is a bootable media that enables a

server to boot into a Linux shell and launch the ACU allowing the user to

configure the MSA1000 storage or generate a diagnostic report without

requiring a pre-installed operating system or drivers.
