This level of fault tolerance can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss.

DtS (DAS to SAN) Technology The Smart Array architecture provides a quick and easy way to migrate from the Modular Smart Array 500 to the Modular Storage Array 1000 (MSA 1000).
In order to convert the Modular Smart Array 500 to a SAN, simply remove the Modular Smart Array Controller(s) and replace them with StorageWorks MSA 1000 Controller(s) and add FC I/O board or FC Switch (please refer to MSA 1000 QuickSpecs for additional SAN requirements information). This is referred to as DtS technology (DAS-to-SAN technology).
In addition to convertibility to the SAN, the Modular Smart Array 500 allows the seamless migration of stored data in ProLiant servers protected by Smart Array PCI controllers to a Modular Smart Array 500 system. Data that is currently stored on 1" Universal disk drives using HP Smart Array controllers, as well as data on an RA4100 can easily be migrated to the Modular Smart Array 500. Simply remove the drives from the older systems and insert them into the Modular Smart Array 500. Existing data and configuration will remain intact. In addition, the RAID set and data will be preserved allowing migration to be completed in minutes, not hours.

Low Total Cost of Ownership

The modular, scalable design of the Modular Smart Array 500 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, and cache can be easily added as your needs dictate.

  • Storage Consolidation – Improve storage utilization and lower storage management cost through moving internal storage to the Modular Smart Array 500.
  • Universal Hard Drive – Since the Modular Smart Array 500 supports Universal 1" SCSI drives, your investment in disk drives is protected and cost is minimized as you add new drives. Sharing of a common universal drive form factor between your server 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 a Modular Smart Array 500 and monitored under Insight Manager are supported by a Pre-Failure (replacement) Warranty. Pre-Failure Warranty allows for the replacement of designated drives in Modular Smart Array 500 before they actually fail when using Insight Manager on ProLiant servers. NOTE: Some operating systems may not support all of these features.
  • Integrated Configuration and Management Tools – The Modular Smart Array 500 utilizes the standard, integrated set of Smart Array management and utility software. These tools consistently lower the cost of ownership by reducing training and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain HP server storage.

Modular Smart Array 500 Components

Modular Smart Array 500 Controller The Modular Smart Array 500 Controller is an integrated RAID controller with an integrated LCD/LED status display and 128-MB read/write battery-backed cache (expandable to 512MB per controller). One Modular Smart Array 500 Controller is included with the Modular Smart Array 500; the redundant Modular Smart Array 500 Controller is an option.

4-Port Shared Storage Module with Smart Array Multipath

The 4-Port Shared Storage Module is an option which may be used in one of two configurations:

  • Enhance cluster fault tolerance by adding multiple paths from the host servers to the shared storage. This provides an additional level of fault tolerance by adding redundancy to both the HBA in the host server as well as the SCSI cables connecting the host servers to the shared storage.
  • Attach up to four independent servers to the Modular Smart Array 500. The storage capacity to each server is assigned with SSP (Shared Storage Presentation), a feature of the Array Configuration Utility. Using SSP and sharing storage among multiple host servers maximizes hard drive capacity utilization, and allows for additional hard drive capacity to be deployed (up to 14) with the volume extension and capacity expansion capabilities.

Modular Smart Array 500 Controller Management Features
  • Online RAID Level Migration: allows for online post-configuration change to RAID level without destroying data or volume information.
  • Online Capacity Expansion: allows for adding storage to an operational Modular Smart Array 500-reducing expensive server downtime (single path configuration only).
  • Online Volume Extension: allows for the capacity growth of existing logical volumes (single path configuration only).
  • Logical Drive Capacity Extension: allows the user to increase the size of existing logical drives online under Windows NT® and offline for other operating systems.
  • Online Stripe Size Migration: Allows changing stripe sizing of a logical drive.
  • User Selectable Read/Write Cache size, allocate cache sizes.
  • User Selectable Expand and Rebuild Priority.

Controller Firmware Cloning Enhanced Controller Firmware Auto-Cloning allows customer choice of controller firmware version when adding redundant controller with different firmware version.

Multi Host Storage SharingSelective Storage Presentation (SSP) support standard on both the base 2-port model of Modular Smart Array 500 as well as the optional 4-port Shared Storage Module. SSP allows the administrator to create volumes and assign access rights to a particular host server. This allows sharing the Modular Smart Array 500 with up to 4 host servers maximizing storage capacity utilization. SSP also allows online capacity expansion as well as online volume extension in DAS configurations.

RAID Several fault tolerant configurations keep data available and servers running while drives are being replaced, including:
  • Advanced Data Guarding (RAID ADG): Allocates the equivalence of 2 parity drives across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write operations.
  • Distributed Data Guarding (RAID 5): Allocates parity data across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write operations.
  • Drive Mirroring (RAID 1 and 1+0 Striped Mirroring): Allocates half of the drive array to data and the other half to mirrored data, providing two copies of every file.

Modular Smart Array 500 Controller Controller Cache Upgrade
  • Cache on the Modular Smart Array 500 Controller may be upgraded to a maximum of 512 MB.

NOTE: The Modular Smart Array 500 Controller allows the following cache configurations: 1 x 128 MB; 2 x 128 MB; 1 x 256 MB; 2 x 256 MB
NOTE: When redundant controllers are installed, the cache configurations in both controllers must be identical.

  Fault Recovery
  • Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure.
  • On-Line Spares: If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an on-line spare and data is reconstructed automatically. One on-line spare can be assigned per array and used across multiple arrays. It is also possible to assign different on-line spares across different arrays.
  • Array Accelerator: Onboard, battery-backed cache memory protects data in the event of a power failure. In the unlikely event of a controller failure, the battery-backed cache will save critical user data for up to three days.

SCSI I/O ModuleThe I/O module on the Modular Smart Array includes an integrated Environmental Monitoring Unit which performs several functions including monitoring the enclosure functions, providing I/O connectors and signaling enclosure status. Modular Smart Array 500 ships standard with a 2-Port I/O Module.
The 4-Port Shared Storage Module with Smart Array Multipath is available as an option.
The 4-Port Shared Storage Module may be deployed as follows:
  • As the shared storage component with up to four servers in a DAS (Direct Attached Storage) configuration.
  • Multiple I/O paths to a two node cluster or two direct attached servers.

Smart Array Multipath Software (Optional)

Enhance cluster fault tolerance by adding dual paths from the host servers to the shared storage. This provides an additional level of fault tolerance by adding redundancy and performance to both the HBA in the host server as well as the SCSI cables connecting the host servers to the shared storage. Smart Array Multipath software delivers dual path functionality and supports failover capabilities for redundant host bus adapters (HBAs) in a server with redundant cabling to a Modular Smart Array 500. This fault-tolerance tool enhances availability of clustering and direct attached storage (DAS) solutions with up to two servers managing up to 2 TB of stored data.
When an HBA failure occurs, the software moves the logical drives from the path of the failed HBA to the path of the redundant HBA located in the same server.

  • Increase availability by protecting against connectivity (HBA) and cable failures and accidental pull-outs.
  • Ships with 4-Port Shared Storage Module
  • Increase performance with Static LUN Balancing (Microsoft OS) enables the administrator to optimize I/O by assigning specific volumes to specific paths in the storage system. If one path fails the system moves volumes to the path for redundant HBA for I/O management.
  • Increase performance with Static Load (read-only) Balancing (Linux OS) enables the HBAs to optimize I/O with dual paths to the same volumes in the storage system. If one HBA fails the system moves volumes to the path for the redundant HBA for I/O management.
  • Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition; Windows 2000 Server; Windows 2000 Advanced Server; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1, UnitedLinux 1.0 (including SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8), SLES 7.
