  • 5. The optional MSA Fabric Switch 6, which can be installed within the msa1000 cabinet, offers 2 Gb full fabric performance, at an attractive price. A second MSA Fabric Switch 6 can be installed for redundancy. There are four "fixed" ports and one pluggable port (SFP not included). The sixth port is directed internally to the controller 4
  • 6. The optional MSA Hub 2/3, to be installed within the msa1000, offers 2 Gb performance. With two ports accessible by the user, the MSA Hub 2/3 is the ideal interconnect for low-cost 2-node clustering or simple attaching two servers. A second MSA Hub 2/3 can be installed for redundancy. This hub ships with two SFPs included 5

Product Description :

The HP StorageWorks Modular SAN Array 1000 is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel storage system designed for the entry-level to mid-range Storage Area Network (SAN). Designed to reduce the complexity, expense and risk of SAN deployment, the msa1000 is a scaleable, high performance storage system built with investment protection in mind. The modular design of the msa1000 allows the user to easily add storage capacity on an as needed basis. The msa1000 combines the array controller shelf and the drive shelf, which holds up to fourteen 1 inch universal disk drives in a single 4U rackmount cabinet. More storage can be easily deployed with the addition of up to two HP StorageWorks 4314 or 4214 Enclosures for a maximum storage capacity of 6 TB when using the new 146 GB drives. The msa1000 provides the latest 2 Gb Fibre Channel technology to the hosts. Besides the single port 2 Gb Fibre Channel I/O module that comes standard, there is an optional 6-port, 2 Gb Fibre Channel Fabric Switch that fits inside the msa1000. A recent optional addition is a 3-port 2 Gb Fibre Channel hub that also fits inside - an ideal low cost solution for simple 2-node clustering. The msa1000 provides Ultra3 SCSI connections to the hard drives and uses the HP Universal 1 inch Ultra2, Ultra3, and/or Ultra320 drives.

By utilizing existing SCSI drives, the msa1000 lowers the total cost of ownership and extends the customer's hardware investments into the future. The msa1000 can be remotely managed by using management tools such as HP Insight Manager - XE, Array Configuration Utility - XE and the StorageWorks Fabric Switch Management Utility. Recent updates to the msa1000's controller firmware offer support for NetWare and Linux operating systems along with the original support for Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000. This updated firmware also supports multiple clusters and/or single servers accessing an msa1000. The msa1000 is utilized in many different solutions. Recently two-stage backup has been added to the unit's capabilities utilizing industry standard backup and restore software. This capability allows the customer to have random access to data and single-file restores when data is backed up to disk.
