Drive enclosures attach to the controller enclosure for the purpose of expanding storage capacity. Drive enclosures supported by the P2000 G3 MSA System controllers are described in the following sections. The 3Gb drive enclosures supported by the newer controller enclosures are listed for customers upgrading existing legacy systems.
NOTE: For optimal performance, 6Gb P2000 G3 MSA System controller enclosures should be cabled to 6Gb P2000 G3 MSA System drive enclosures when expanding storage capacity.

Cache
To enable faster data access from disk storage, the following types of caching are performed:
•Write-back or write-through caching. The controller writes user data in the cache memory on the module rather than directly to the drives. Later, when the storage system is either idle or aging — and continuing to receive new I/O data — the controller writes the data to the drive array.
•Read-ahead caching. The controller detects sequential array access, reads ahead into the next sequence of data, and stores the data in the read-ahead cache. Then, if the next read access is for cached data, the controller immediately loads the data into the system memory, avoiding the latency of a disk access.
20 Components
NOTE: See HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU Reference Guide for more information about volume cache options.
Transportable CompactFlash
During a power loss or array controller failure, data stored in cache are saved off to non-volatile memory (CompactFlash). These data are then written to disk after the issue is corrected. To protect against writing incomplete data to disk, the image stored on the CompactFlash is verified before committing to disk.
In single-controller configurations, if the controller has failed or does not start, and the Cache Status LED is on or blinking, the CompactFlash will need to be transported to a replacement controller to recover data not flushed to disk (See Controller failure in a single-controller configuration on page 51 for more information).
Controller Module
CompactFlash
CAUTION: To preserve the existing data stored in the CompactFlash, you must transport the CompactFlash from the failed controller to the replacement controller using a procedure outlined in the HP Controller Module Replacement Instructions, shipped with the replacement controller. Failure to use this procedure will result in the loss of data stored in the cache module. The CompactFlash must stay with the same enclosure. If the CompactFlash is used/installed in a different enclosure, data loss/data corruption will occur.
IMPORTANT: In dual controller configurations featuring one healthy peer controller, there is no need to transport a failed controller’s cache to a replacement controller because the cache is duplicated between the controllers.
Super-capacitor pack
To protect RAID controller cache in case of power failure, P2000 G3 MSA System controllers are equipped with super-capacitor technology, in conjunction with CompactFlash memory, built into each controller module to provide unlimited cache memory backup time. The super-capacitor pack provides energy for backing up unwritten data in the write cache to the CompactFlash in the event of a power failure. Unwritten data in CompactFlash memory are automatically committed to disk media when power is restored. While the cache is being maintained by the super-capacitor, the Cache Status LED flashes at a rate of 1/10 second on and 9/10 second off.
