Modular Smart Array 500Modular Smart Array 500
The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 500 (MSA 500), formerly named Modular Smart Array 500, is an Ultra3 SCSI (supporting Ultra320 hard drives)
storage system, supporting up to 2TB of data capacity, designed specifically for 2-node clustering and multiple node (up to 4 servers) shared storage.
Designed to reduce the complexity and expense of clustering and storage sharing, the Modular Smart Array 500 is built upon Smart Array and ProLiant
technologies to provide advanced data protection features yet is simple to deploy, configure and manage. Ideal for entry level clustering and shared storage,
the Modular Smart Array 500 is familiar SCSI technology, making it a simple and powerful storage platform. As the customer's clustering and storage
requirements grow, the Modular Smart Array 500 may be converted to a SAN array by replacing the controller(s) and I/O module and installing a MSA 1000
FC I/O module, or MSA 1000 FC switch, providing the customer with extended hardware investment protection into the future.
The Modular Smart Array 500 combines the array controller shelf and the drive shelf, which holds up to fourteen 1 HP Universal Disk drives in a single 4U

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.
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.

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..
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.
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.
Enhanced Controller Firmware Auto-Cloning allows customer choice of controller firmware version when adding redundant
controller with different firmware version.
Selective 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.
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.
The 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:
Cache on the Modular Smart Array 500 Controller may be upgraded to a
maximum of 512 MB.

The Modular Smart Array 500 Controller allows the following cache
When redundant controllers are installed, the cache configurations in both
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 batterybacked cache will save critical user data for up to three days.
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.
The Modular Smart Array 500 utilizes a single, consistent set of utility software for storage and RAID management, setup, configuration and troubleshooting.
This consistency reduces the cost of ownership by reducing the training and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain your HP server storage
solution.

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
