HP MSA P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array Systems

Overview

Hewlett Packard's MSA P2000 Family of storage arrays features P2000 G3 arrays with the latest 8 Gb Fibre Channel, 6 Gb SAS, 10GbE iSCSI connected models, and an iSCSI model with four 1 Gb iSCSI ports per controller. The arrays are designed for entry-level customers and feature the latest in functionality and host-connect technology while offering excellent price/performance. They are ideal for companies with small budgets or limited IT expertise, and also larger companies with departmental or remote requirements. Each solution is designed to be easy to deploy, to be secure, along with low management costs, while driving rapid return on investment through efficient storage consolidation.

The MSA P2000 G3 arrays are 2U storage area network (SAN) or direct connect solutions (OS and protocol dependent) offering a choice of five controllers - two FC, one SAS, one 10GbE iSCSI and the newest model features a four port 1 Gb iSCSI. The first Fibre Channel controller is a high-performance, 8 Gb dual port model. The second offering is a unique dual-purpose Combo controller with two 8 Gb Fibre Channel ports with the addition of two 1GbE iSCSI ports. The third controller choice is 6Gb SAS with four ports per controller. There is also the addition of a two port 10 Gb iSCSI, while the latest controller introduction features four 1 Gb iSCSI ports per controller. Whatever the situation calls for, the P2000 G3 line-up has the right solution.

The dual-protocol MSA P2000 G3 MSA FC/iSCSI Combo Controller gives exceptional flexibility. The 8 Gb FC ports support a full FC SAN while the two 1GbE iSCSI ports can serve two purposes. With this combination you can economically share the array storage resource with a smaller department accessing it over iSCSI or enable the new optional Remote Snap functionality over iSCSI protocol (also available over FC).

The MSA P2000 G3 SAS is the follow-on product to the MSA2000sa G2, adding the latest 6 Gb SAS technology to the four host ports per controller. The P2000 G3 SAS array is designed for directly attaching up to four dual-path or eight single path rack servers. SAS array support for BladeSystems utilizes the HP 6 Gb SAS BL Switch.

The MSA P2000 G3 10GbE iSCSI brings the very latest in high-performance host connection with technology generally found only in higher priced arrays. The bandwidth it provides in conjunction with server consolidation is highly advantageous in shared storage configurations. Array connection to 10GbE switches that are in turn connected to 1GbE NICs is commonplace. Directly attached server support requires the server units to have 10GbE NICs.

Rounding out the controller choices is the MSA P2000 G3 iSCSI controller featuring four 1Gb iSCSI Ethernet ports, double the number of the G2 model. This allows an array that keeps the price of the components, particularly the interconnects, low while markedly increasing the performance capabilities.

All MSA P2000 G3 models can be equipped with single or dual controllers, feature the same scalability, and offer 6 Gb SAS back-end transmission speed to drives and JBODs. Significant data protection advances are delivered by the all P2000 G3 arrays. All G3 units come STANDARD with sixty-four snapshot capability at no extra cost and there is an option for the G3 series of five hundred and twelve snapshots. Volume Copy (clone) also comes standard. In a further move to protect the user's data, optional Remote Snap (replication) capability is offered on the FC, FC/iSCSI, and both iSCSI versions.

All MSA P2000 G3 models support hot plug replacement of redundant controllers, fans, power supplies, and I/O modules. Hot add of expansion enclosures is also supported.

The controller-less MSA P2000 chassis is offered in two models - one comes standard with twelve Large Form Factor (LFF) 3.5-inch drive bays, the other can accommodate twenty-four Small Form Factor (SFF) 2.5-inch drives. Both are able to simultaneously support enterprise-class SAS drives, SAS Midline, and archival-class SATA Midline drives. Either chassis can have one or two matching P2000 G3 controllers (same protocol) and are available with AC or DC power Supplies.

The HP modular approach to entry level SAN solutions enables incremental customer purchases, allowing the array to grow as needs grow, thus allowing a maximum return on investment. Choose a single controller unit for low initial cost with the ability to upgrade later; or decide on a model with dual controllers for the most demanding entry-level situations. There are no unexpected additional charges, licenses or fees as you add enclosures or hosts and users.

Key Features

The HP P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array family encompasses five controllers, each featuring different protocols or combination of protocols to match the exact needs of the user.

P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI Combo MSA controller: this unique controller offers both 8 Gb Fibre Channel and 1 GbE iSCSI functionalities built into a single array controller. This allows customers to enable storage needing high performance thru the FC ports while leveraging their SAN investment by sharing the array resources with smaller departments through low-cost iSCSI. It also enables optional Remote Snap (replication) for data protection.

P2000 G3 FC MSA controller: Dual 8 Gb Fibre Channel host ports per controller give high performance with a mature topology and is compatible with the largest installed base of SAN users.

P2000 G3 10GbE iSCSI MSA controller: HP was the first of the major modular array manufacturers that brought a high performance dual-ported 10GbE iSCSI solution to the entry level segment. Ideal for those who want to utilize cost-effective Ethernet as their infrastructure without sacrificing access time to their data. Now supports Remote Snap (replication).

P2000 G3 SAS MSA controller: the P2000 G3 SAS model gives fast 6 Gb transmission rates with low cost SAS connections. Four host ports per controller support a highly efficient direct connect configuration.

P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA controller offers four 1 Gb iSCSI ports utilizes the popular Ethernet infrastructure with its low cost and ease of management, while the additional ports assure increased performance over the previous generation. Now supports Remote Snap (replication).

All P2000 G3 models offer a common set of valuable features:

Ease of management featuring browser-based out-of-band access. This allows a department or small company to effectively handle growing storage requirements, with the aid of an intuitive GUI to administer the unit with a minimum of complexity. Ideal for local or remote installations.

All G3 models come standard with 64 controller-based snapshots and clone capability. The G3 arrays also support an optional 512 snaps.

Choose either a low-cost single controller array or start with a configured dual controller array model to fit the budget, high availability, and performance needs.

All models feature a wide variety of drives: enterprise-class SAS, SAS Midline, and archival-class SATA Midline in either P2000 LFF 3.5-inch or HP Storage SFF 2.5-inch drives.

P2000 G3 models can have a maximum number of P2000 LFF drive enclosures (7), a maximum number of D2700 SFF enclosures (5), or mix both sizes. The array can grow incrementally from a few drives to 178 TB SAS, 384 TB of SAS MDL or 192 TB SATA MDL.

2 GB transportable read/write cache per controller. Battery-free cache backup with super capacitors and compact flash

Vdisks can be spanned across multiple enclosures RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50

Maximums vary by RAID levels: 2 drive max for RAID level 1; max of 16 drives for RAID levels 0, 3, 5, 6, and 10; max of 32 drives for RAID level 50

512 LUNs with LUN sizes greater than 40TB depending on the RAID configuration chosen. The maximum LUN size is 64TB

Non-disruptive on-line controller code upgrade (requires dual controllers w/ multi-pathing software)

Upgradable by design. Owners of an original MSA2000 G1 or G2 array are able to do data-in-place controller upgrades to the P2000 G3 FC, Combo FC/iSCSI, 1 Gb or 10GbE iSCSI, or P2000 G3 SAS. Cross protocol upgrades are also supported between the protocols. This unique ability protects the earlier investments in chassis, drives, and JBODs

HP MSA P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array Systems

Family Information

8Gb Fibre Channel

Two host ports per FC controller shipped with SFPs. The P2000 G3 FC controller can run in either point-to-

controller

point or FCAL (loop). The default is FCAL which is used in Direct Connect, particularly with two controllers.

 

The PtP (fabric) mode is used with almost all switches.

 

 

Combo controller with

This ingenious dual-protocol "combo" controller supports a full FC SAN through the 8Gb FC ports, while

FC and iSCSI ports

designating the two 1 GbE iSCSI ports to enable remote replication over iSCSI protocol and perform as an

 

iSCSI target. This allows economical sharing of the storage resource (the P2000 G3 array) with one

 

department needing the performance afforded by the 8 Gb FC ports while simultaneously supporting

 

another department with lesser performance needs and a budget only allowing a 1GbE iSCSI network.

6Gb SAS controller

Four 4x host ports per 6Gb SAS controller.

 

 

10GbE iSCSI controller

Two 10GbE ports per G3 10GbE iSCSI controller. Ports are ready for the choice of SFP (none included)

 

Supports the ProCurve and ISS versions of the following 10GbE parts for use in the controllers:

 

 

 

HP 10Gb Cables

 

 

 

HP SFP+ 10GbE Copper Cable

 

 

 

HP ProCurve 10-GbE SFP+-SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

 

 

 

HP SFP+ Transceivers

 

 

 

HP BladeSystem 10Gb SR SFP+ and HP BladeSystem 10Gb LRM SFP+

 

 

 

HP ProCurve 10-GbE SFP+ SR Transceiver and HP ProCurve 10-GbE SFP+ LRM Transceiver

 

 

 

No SFP+ LR Transceiver support

 

 

1 Gb iSCSI controller

Four 1 Gb Ethernet iSCSI ports per G3 iSCSI controller

 

 

Modular Chassis

2U rack height. 12 Large Form Factor or 24 Small Form Factor drive bays, accommodating SAS and SATA.

 

Comes with space for one or two controllers, or P2000 3.5-inch disk Enclosure I/O modules (LFF chassis

 

only)

 

 

Drives available

The P2000 G3 controllers support both the P2000 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) drives, and the HP

 

Storage 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) drives.

 

 

 

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise-class drives are designed for high demand, 24x7 usage.

 

SAS Midline and SATA Midline are usually reserved for archival of data as they are both relatively

 

inexpensive and are available in very large capacities.

 

 

 

The HP entry-level family of arrays can accommodate both SAS and SATA drives within the same enclosure

 

making it ideal to have both business-critical, high activity files on SAS drives while using Snapshot, clone,

 

or Remote Snap capability to keep back-up or archival data on the less expensive drives.

 

 

 

For investment protection, the controllers will support single and dual port SAS & SATA drives in a legacy

 

single - or dual - domain MSA70. This support allows current owners of MSA70s to migrate their single port

 

drives (in their MSA70 only, not into the array head) to be attached to a P2000 G3 FC or SAS. They can only

 

cascade to another single I/O MSA70. This is not a data-in-place transition, and overall performance could

 

be impacted.

 

 

 

SAS drive performance can be approximately 30% greater than SATA performance on sequential host I/O.

 

SAS performance excels in sequential lower latency response time and random I/O per second transaction

 

performance due to higher rpm disk speeds yielding lower seek times. SAS drive random performance is

 

generally twice that of SATA drives.

 

 

 

NOTE: P2000 and MSA2 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) drives are for use only in the P2000 G3 or

HP MSA P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array Systems

Family Information

MSA2000 models. The 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) drives are supported only with the P2000 G3 or the MSA2300 G2 controllers and are Storage hot-plug 2.5-inch drives.

Optional Disk enclosures Just as the user has a choice of chassis for the array head (LFF and SFF drive bays, AC or DC powered), so also do they have a choice of expansion disk enclosures accommodating either drive size. Both the P2000 and the D2700 disk enclosures can be hot-added to an operating array.

(NOTE: these are not supported as part of a NEBS-certified configuration with the MSA Carrier Grade Chassis. There is a certified JBOD listed in the Carrier-grade section)

P2000 3.5-inch drive enclosure. This 2U storage enclosure (AJ941A) is designed to support twenty five Storage 2.5-inch Universal form factor (SFF) 6Gb SAS or SATA hard drives. It ships standard with dual I/O modules installed.

This 3.5-inch drive enclosure can be attached to either the P2000 G3 FC or SAS LFF or SFF array head. Each configured model ships standard with two .5m mini-SAS to mini-SAS cables for cascading to other P2000 drive enclosures

Up to seven P2000 3.5-inch enclosures can be attached to a P2000 G3 FC, FC/iSCSI Combo, or SAS controller in the array head.

 

D2700 2.5-inch drive enclosure. This 2U storage enclosure (AJ941A) is designed to support twenty five

 

ProLiant 2.5-inch Universal form factor (SFF) 6Gb SAS or SATA hard drives. It ships standard with dual I/O

 

modules installed.

 

This 2.5-inch drive enclosure can be attached to a P2000 G3 controller (SFF or LFF) array head

 

The D2700 enclosure ships with a two .5m miniSAS to miniSAS cable.

 

Up to five D2700 may be attached to the P2000 G3 array head, given total support for 149 SFF drives.

Scalability

The P2000 G3 FC, Combo FC/iSCSI, SAS, 1 Gb or 10GbE iSCSI controllers are designed to allow an installation

 

to begin with smaller capacity and be able to grow gradually as needed. The flexibility of SAS or SATA drive

 

technology, form factors, sizes, speeds, and costs per GB allows a system to easily fit in almost any budget.

 

Large Form Factor configurations can scale up to 7.2 TB SAS, 36TB SAS MDL or 24 TB SATA,

 

expandable to 57.6 TB SAS, 384 TB SAS MDL or 192 TB SATA with the addition of a maximum of seven

 

P2000 3.5-inch Drive Enclosures.

 

Small Form Factor configurations can scale from 21.6 TB SAS, 24 TB SAS MDL or 12 TB SATA MDL.

 

With the addition of five D2700 JBODs, the P2000 G3 can support 134 TB SAS, 149 TB SAS MDL or

 

74.5 TB SATA MDL.

 

Users may configure a 24-drive P2000 G3 SFF array head with 12-drive LFF P2000 3.5-inch disk

 

enclosures. This is an excellent method for a configuration that supports fast SFF enterprise-class

 

SAS drives in the array head, combined with economical LFF drives staged for archival purposes, all in

 

the same array.

 

Qualification of larger capacity drives is ongoing.

Vdisks

Vdisks can span across multiple enclosures, where drives used in the Vdisk can be contained in different

 

enclosures. The maximum number of drives that can be used in RAID 1 Vdisk is 2; RAID 0, 3, 5, 6, and 10 is

 

16; and for RAID 50 Vdisk is 32.

LUNs

The HP 2000 family of arrays supports 512 LUNs (total volumes in a dual controller system) and LUN sizes

 

up to 64 TB depending on the RAID configuration chosen. The array supports expansion and deletion of any

 

LUN.

RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50 In addition to the usual RAID levels, the P2000 G3 features several important additional levels. RAID 6 is the highest level of RAID protection. It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write operations. It can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss. RAID 10 is mirroring and striping without parity. It is the most popular of the multiple RAID levels, allowing large arrays with high performance in most cases and superior fault tolerance. RAID 50 combines the block striping and parity of RAID 5 with the straight block striping of RAID 0, yielding higher performance than RAID 5 through
