Efficient

Get thin and stay thin - Thin technologies unique to the HP 3PAR StoreServ family can reduce capacity

requirements by 50%. Purchase only what you need, as you need it so you can focus resources on growing

your business, not maintaining your storage. Additionally, the HP 3PAR ASIC with Thin Built In features an

efficient, silicon-based zero-detection mechanism. This unique hardware capability gives HP 3PAR

StoreServ Storage the power to remove allocated but unused space without impacting performance.

Data center virtualization - Increase virtualization return on investment. Double virtual machine density on

your physical servers, spend up to 90 percent less time managing your storage, and support your

virtualization deployment with 50 percent less storage capacity. HP 3PAR StoreServ is built from the

ground up to deliver performance that exceeds the demands of virtualized data centers along with

transformative levels of simplicity, agility, and efficiency.

Service levels - With policy-based autonomic sub-LUN tiering, you can balance the cost of capacity and the

cost of performance and put the right data on the right storage tier at the right time.

Do more with less - With HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage you can purchase up to 75 percent less capacity-

meaning less equipment to house, fewer disks to power and cool, less hardware to retire after it has

reached its end of life, and a reduced carbon footprint.

Autonomic

It's like breathing-you don't even have to think about it. Simplify, automate, and expedite storage

management by handling storage provisioning, tiering, and change management autonomically-

intelligently, at a sub-system level, and without administrator intervention.

SmartStart Software - software designed to get you off to a quick start with your new HP 3PAR StoreServ

7000 system.

Common architecture - Access the same features as the world's largest service providers with a common

architecture that meets SMB needs and spans to the largest global enterprise.

Resilient

Secure multi-tenancy - Consolidate with confidence. Achieve higher service levels for more users and

applications with less infrastructure. HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage is designed to support massive

consolidation by supporting mixed workloads and secure administrative segregation of users, hosts, and

application data. Deliver higher performance levels, greater availability, and next-generation functionality

to multiple user groups and applications from a single storage system.

Scalable - HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 provides affordable entry pricing and unique, non-disruptive scalability

to four nodes.

High Availability - Featuring the same mesh-active architecture as all HP 3PAR StoreServ products, HP

3PAR StoreServ 7000 offers the highest levels of data availability and protection for the midrange.

Intelligent data striping across all available enclosures provides HA Cage, the ability to maintain

availability even when a whole drive enclosure fails. HP 3PAR Persistent Cache in four node configurations

eliminates performance impacts that result from unplanned component failures, making it a must-have

for maintaining service levels in the virtual data center-a feature that you can't get from any other

midrange storage platform.

Storage federation - Meet the needs of today's data center with the ability to move data and workloads

between arrays without impact to applications, users, or services. Simply and non-disruptively shift data

between any model HP 3PAR StoreServ system without additional management layers or appliances.

Storage federation on HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage can also help you improve availability in clustered

VMware environments.

Mixed workload - Mixed workload support serves transactional and throughput-intensive workloads from

a single device. The purpose-built HP 3PAR ASIC delivers mixed workload support to alleviate performance

concerns and cut traditional array costs. Transaction- and throughput-intensive workloads run on the

same storage resources without contention, thereby cutting array purchases in half.

Data at Rest Encryption - enables the encryption for all the data that is stored on the internal drives of the

3PAR StoreServ Storage. The 3PAR StoreServ Data Encryption solution encrypts and decrypts all data

written to and read from the media automatically. The 3PAR StoreServ Data Encryption solution encrypts

the data so that data cannot be read off a drive that is removed from the 3PAR Storage. In the event of a

failure of the drive or the theft of a drive, the proper authentication key is required to be entered to gain

access to the data stored within the drive. This method of encryption allows the user the comfort knowing

all data contained on the drive is protected against internal and external risks.

QR487A

Used in the Storage Base products (QR482A, QR483A, and QR485A) and the

Upgrade Node Pair (QR484A).

Because the Storage Base products and the Upgrade Node Pair include built-in FC

ports, the host adapter cards are optional.

QR486A and QR487A include one adapter card each. Adapters must be purchased

in pairs.

The QR486A includes (4) 8 Gb/s shortwave FC SFPs and the QR487A includes (2) 10

Gb/s SFPs.

Each node in a node pair (a node pair is composed of the two controller nodes in a

single 2U enclosure) must have the same number and type of adapters. FC and

iSCSI/FCoE adapters may not be intermixed in a node pair.

The 4 ports of the FC adapter can be individually configured to connect to a host or

to a remote array in an RC configuration.

The two ports of the iSCSI/FCoE adapter can be individually configured by the user

as iSCSI or FCoE.

Step 3 - Choose Drive Enclosures

Add drive enclosures to expand the configuration and to add large form factor drives to the configuration. Drive enclosures can be

ordered separately for installation in the field, or they can be factory configured in a rack. Drive enclosures are optional. Because the

Storage Base products and the Upgrade Node Pair include small form factor drive bays, the minimum configuration does not require

any additional drive enclosures. For larger configurations, attach drive enclosures. Each drive enclosure includes 24 drive bays. The HP

3PAR StoreServ 7200 supports up to five (5) added drive enclosures. The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 supports up to nine (9) added drive

enclosures per node pair. The two drive enclosure types can be intermixed in a single array.

Drive Enclosures

HP M6710 2.5 inch 2U SAS Drive Enclosure

QR490A

HP M6720 3.5 inch 4U SAS Drive Enclosure

QR491A

Each drive enclosure includes 24 drive bays, (2) IO modules, (2) 1m SAS cables,

(1) mounting rail kit, and power cables.

The M6710 2U drive enclosure provides 24 SFF drive bays arranged in a single

row.

The M6720 4U drive enclosure provides 24 LFF drive bays, arranged in four (4)

columns of six (6) slots each.

Minimum of zero (0) drive enclosures, maximum of five (5) attached to QR482A.

Minimum of zero (0) drive enclosures, maximum of nine (9) attached to QR483A.

Minimum of zero (0) drive enclosures, maximum of (18) attached to QR485A.

Drive enclosures are connected in daisy chains from the SAS ports of the

controller nodes.

The best practice is to balance the drive enclosures across the SAS ports,

remembering that the controller node enclosures include (24) drives attached to

the SAS port labeled DP-1.

The best practice when including LFF and SFF drive enclosures in the same array

is to arrange them in the rack so that all of the 2U enclosures that belong to one

node pair are together and all of the 4U enclosures for that node pair are

together. When connecting the backend SAS cables, intermix the M6710 and

M6720 enclosures on each SAS port.

With a four node configuration, the best practice is to attach the same number of

drive enclosures to each node pair.

To achieve highest availability in multi-enclosure configurations, configure a

minimum of two (2) enclosures per node pair for RAID 1, a minimum of four (4)

enclosures per node pair if RAID 5 is included, and a minimum of three (3)

enclosures per node pair if RAID 6 is included. Include enclosures containing node

pairs in the count with the M6710 enclosures.

Drive bays that are not filled with a drive must be covered with a drive blank to

preserve proper air flow.

If future capacity upgrades are expected, include enough Drive Enclosures so

that there are some empty bays in each enclosure after all drives are added.

Step 4 - Choose Drives

Drives are orderable at the time the array is purchased, or can be added in the future when additional capacity is required. Unlike other

HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems where drives are sold in magazines of four, HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 drives are sold as single

drives. Note that these drives are only compatible with the M6710 and M6720 drive enclosures.

QR498A

For each drive type installed in the array, the minimum recommended initial

quantity is

SSD and SAS performance HDDs - eight (8) drives* per node pair

Nearline HDDs - twelve (12) drives per node pair

Minimum upgrade quantity is 4 drives per node pair or 2 drives per enclosure,

whichever is larger. Best practice is to run Autonomic Rebalance (also known as

tunesys) after adding the drives.

RAID 6 is strongly recommended for Nearline drives.

All node enclosures must contain either zero (0) or an even number of drives. All

drive enclosures must contain an even number of drives, with a minimum of two.

Minimum raw capacity is 1.2TB per node pair.

A best practice is to add equal numbers of drives to all enclosures compatible

with the drive type being added.

With a four node configuration, the best practice is to attach the same number

and type of drives to each node pair.

Small Form Factor (SFF)-specific configuration practices

SFF drives may be loaded into the Storage Base enclosures, the Upgrade

Node Pair enclosure and the M6710 drive enclosure.

SFF drives must be loaded in pairs of identical drives, beginning with the

leftmost slot, slot 0, and filling to the right, leaving no empty slots

between drives.

Large Form Factor (LFF)-specific configuration practices

LFF drives may be loaded into the M6720 drive enclosure.

LFF drives must be loaded in pairs of identical drives starting at the

bottom of a column, leaving no empty slots between drives in the column.

Columns of drives in the M6720 enclosure must be of the same type (SSD

or NL) and, for HDDs, the same rotational speed. Drives of different types

may not be mixed in a single column. It is permitted to have empty

columns between columns containing drives. Different columns do not

have to contain the same number of drives.

An all LFF drive configuration is permitted, leaving the Storage Base

Enclosure empty.

SSD specific configuration practices

SSD-only configurations are permitted.

Maximum of 120 SSDs per node pair.

The SFF and LFF SSDs allow the user to create SSD volumes that stripe

across SFF and LFF enclosures.

8 drives support RAID 1 and RAID 5. For RAID 6 choose 12 drives.

Notes:

All drives within a 3PAR StoreServ encrypted array must be self-encrypted

devices. There cannot be a mixture of encrypted drives and non-encrypted drives

within the same array.

Self-encrypted drives are only supported on new 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage

systems. Encryption is not supported on existing 3PAR systems that are already

deployed in customer use.

* FIPS 140-2 Validated Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) have been certified by the

U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Canadian

Communications Security Establishment (CSE) as meeting the Level 2 security

requirements for cryptographic modules as defined in the Federal Information

validated local key manager, or optional FIPS validated external key manager.

A data encryption license (LTU) is required to enable encryption on the array. One

encryption license is required for each encrypted array.

Once encryption is enabled on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, it cannot be

disabled.

The local key manager is included in the HP 3PAR OS. There is not a separately

orderable part number for the local key manager.

Step 5 - Choose Service Processor Implementation

The HP 3PAR Service Processor monitors the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 and enables remote monitoring and remote servicing of the

array. The key capabilities of the Service Processor is to:

Enable rapid, proactive response to issues

Provide a secure communication channel between the customer's data center and HP 3PAR Central for:

Remote Online Software Upgrade; upgrade software with no application disruption

Remote Diagnostics; key diagnostic information maintained centrally on a historical basis

Remote Serviceability; provides fast predictive response and remediation

Each HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 requires its own Service Processor. The Service Processor functions as the communication interface

between a customer's IP network and HP 3PAR Central by managing all service-related communications. The Service Processor

leverages the industry-standard HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) protocol to secure and encrypt data communication.

Virtual Service Processor

The Service Processor can be deployed either as a virtual Service processor or a physical Service Processor. A virtual Service Processor

(VSP) is included free with the 3PAR Base Operating System. The virtual Service Processor can be installed on a VMware system that is

provided by the customer before installation that meet the following specifications:

VMware vSphere 4.1 and above

Server listed in VMware Compatibility Guide and with the following features

1GB RAM (minimum for the vSP Virtual Machine)

320GB free disk space

(

NOTE

Virtual SP storage must not reside on the array it is managing.)

DVD ROM or DVD RW

1Gb Ethernet port

The customer must provide any hardware required to host the remote support software when deploying a Virtual Service Processor.

For scheduled service calls, the customer shall make the Virtual Service Processor available to HP for remedial activities at the agreed-

upon time. The customer is responsible for maintaining the appropriate HP 3PAR Remote Support Technology with a secure

connection to HP and any passwords required to access the local network and Virtual Service Processor. The customer is responsible

for providing all necessary resources in accordance with the HP 3PAR Service Processor Release Notes in order to enable the delivery

of the service and options. Please contact a local HP representative for further details on requirements, specifications, and exclusions.

Physical Service Processor

If a physical Service Processor is desired, order the following product:

HP 3PAR 7000 Service Processor

QR516B

The physical Service Processor is a dedicated storage appliance located within the storage rack providing close proximity to the HP

3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage. The physical Service Processor is fully supported and maintained by HP Services. The physical Service

Processor has serial port connectivity that provides maintenance access for trouble shooting capabilities. If a VMware server is not

available to run the virtual Service Processor, the physical Service Processor is the alternative choice for remote monitoring and
