Overview
VA7100 Overview
The HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 7100 is a disk storage system that holds from 4 to 15 disk drives. The array
has scalable capacities from 72 GB to 270 GB (211 GB usable) with all 18-GB disk drives and from 144 GB to
540 GB (428 GB usable) with all 36-GB disk drives and from 292 GB to 1.1 TB with 73-GB disk drives.
Capacities and spindle speeds can also be mixed. The array requires a dual controller configuration to support
MPE/iX. At least one controller must be attached to a management station running the HP StorageWorks
Command View SDM software. Each controller has two DIMM slots available to hold NVRAM. The NVRAM is
used for read/write caching and for storing array memory maps.
The Virtual Array 7100 can operate in either RAID 1+0 mode or AutoRAID mode, which eliminates the
requirement for the system administrator to understand and configure RAID levels. AutoRAID dynamically
adapts to the system’s workload, optimizing performance and cost. Users will find configuration significantly
easier than other array products, since RAID levels don’t need to be configured or managed. The VA7100
supports one redundancy group, and all drives belong to that group. Using Virtual Storage Array (VSA)
technology, when configured in AutoRAID mode the array controller automatically selects RAID 1+0 (disk
striping and mirroring) or RAID 5DP (RAID 5 Double Parity) depending on the usage patterns of the data.

RAID 5DP provides superior data redundancy by protecting against the simultaneous failure of two member
disks by using independent error correction schemes.
The VA7100 is designed to communicate with multiple hosts and multiple systems, otherwise known as
heterogeneous support. Any combination of the supported operating systems: HP-UX, MPE/iX, Windows NT,
Solaris, AiX, NetWare, Windows 2000, and Linux can be used. Two different protocols, or host port behaviors,
are used by the array to communicate with the operating systems: one protocol for Windows/Linux/other and
another for HP-UX. Depending on the firmware level of the VA7100, another was added for MPE/iX. The
Windows/Linux host port behaviors must be configured in the array for communication to take place with any
or all four supported operating systems on a controller. When changing the port protocol to Windows/Linux it
does support concurrent operation with Windows/Linux and HP-UX. The VA7100 provides simultaneous
access by all of the supported operating systems on a LUN-by-LUN basis. Each LUN operates appropriately
given the description of the operating system requirements.
The VA7100 can be configured to utilize an active hot spare feature. An active hot spare is a portion of the disk
array capacity reserved to perform a rebuild. This feature requires the use of two additional disk units in the
array. An active hot spare ensures that the disk array can maintain data redundancy if one or two disks fails.
Until it is needed, the disk array uses the active hot spare storage space as RAID 1+0 capacity, which improves
array performance. The active hot spare storage capacity does not sit idle; it is used to increase the disk array
performance until the storage is needed.
The chassis will accommodate up to 15 low-profile 3.5-inch hard disk drives loaded from the front. The array
requires 3 EIA units (3U) in height, which allows 10 units to be placed in a standard 1.6-meter rack. The rear of
the 3 EIA rack mountable chassis also includes two 1-GB Fibre Channel controllers, dual power supplies and
dual fan modules. The redundant power supply and fan components are combined into a single module. All
modules are hot swappable.
The array can be connected to one or more hosts, hubs, or switches via an optical Fibre Channel (FC) interface
with 1 gigabit per second transfer rates. It can be ordered in factory-racked, field-rackable, or desk-side
configurations. Factory-racked products are pre-configured in the HP Rack/System E racks. Field-rackable
products can be racked in HP racks or in Compaq 9000 racks.
The VA7100 is supported by HP’s Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE). HP’s online diagnostic and
resolution capability securely delivers remote reactive services that quickly resolve problems, proactive
service that anticipate and prevent downtime due to computing issues, and value-added services to help
monitor, manage and maintain global IT networks. A minimum level hardware support upgrade of same day is
required. It is included with the VA for the first year (in addition to the warranty).
VA7110 Overview
The HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 7110 is a disk storage system that supports from four to 45 disk drives (two
additional enclosures with 15 disks in each). The array has scalable capacities from 72 GB to 810 GB (211 GB
usable) with all 18-GB disk drives and from 144 GB to 1.6 TB with all 36-GB disk drives and from 292 GB to 3.2
TB with 73-GB disk drives and from 584 GB to 6.5 TB with 146-GB disk drives. Capacities and spindle speeds
can also be mixed. The array requires a dual controller configuration to support MPE/iX. At least one
controller must be attached to a management station running the HP StorageWorks Command View SDM
software. Each controller has two DIMM slots available to hold NVRAM. The NVRAM is used for read/write
caching and for storing array memory maps.
The Virtual Array 7110 can operate in either RAID 1+0 mode or AutoRAID mode, which eliminates the

Each enclosure will accommodate up to 15 low-profile 3.5-inch hard disk drives loaded from the front. The
array requires three EIA units (3U) in height (per enclosure), which allows ten units to be placed in a standard
1.6-meter rack. The rear of the EIA rack mountable chassis also includes two 1-GB fibre channel controllers,
dual power supplies and dual fan modules. The redundant power supply and fan components are combined
into a single module. All modules are hot swappable.
The array can be connected to one or more hosts, hubs, or switches via an optical fibre channel (FC) interface
with 1 or 2 gigabit per second transfer rates (the default setting is 1 gigabit). It can be ordered in
factory-racked, field-rackable, or desk-side configurations. Factory-racked products are pre-configured in the

The revision numbering for firmware for the VA7110 has changed. The revision numbering now consists of a
string of 4 ASCII characters (the HP designation has gone away). For example, a revision code of “X123”
represents the following:
• “X” is a single capital letter (A – Z) designating the platform
• “1” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a major FW revision
• “2” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a minor FW revision
• “3” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a sub-minor FW revision
VA7410 Overview
The HP StorageWorks Virtual Array 7410 is a Fibre Channel (FC) disk storage system that supports from ten to
105 disk drives. The VA7410 has two FC ports on each controller. The VA7410 is comprised of two types of
enclosures, each three EIA units high: the virtual array controller enclosure (A6183A/AZ) and the disk system
enclosure (A6214A/AZ) also referred to as the disk enclosure or the JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) enclosure.
In addition, pre-defined SKUs are available to facilitate integrated arrays. The array consists of one controller
enclosure and one to six disk enclosures, with scalable capacities from 181 GB to 1.90 TB (using 18-GB 15K
rpm disk drives), 364 GB to 3.82 TB (using 36-GB 10K rpm disk drives), 720 GB to 7.67 TB (using 73-GB 10K
rpm disk drives), or 1.46 TB to 15.33 TB (using 146-GB 10K rpm disk drives). Capacities and spindle speeds can
also be mixed throughout the array.

Both enclosures include dual power supplies with built-in dual blowers, and accommodate up to 15 low-profile
3.5-inch native fibre channel (FC) disk drives in the front. The controller enclosure also includes dual
redundant 1 or 2-Gbps FC capable array controller cards and the disk enclosure also includes dual redundant
1- or 2-Gbps link controller cards for back-end connections to the controllers. All field replaceable units are
hot swappable. The array controller cards, however, must be replaced offline if the OS does not support
controller failover.
The VA7410 can operate in either RAID 1+0 mode or AutoRAID mode. These data protection levels are user
selectable at the time of initial array installation. Using Virtual Storage Array (VSA) technology, when
configured in AutoRAID mode the array controller automatically selects RAID 1+0 (disk striping and
mirroring) or RAID 5DP (RAID 5 Double Parity) depending on the usage patterns of the data. This protection
scheme eliminates the requirement for the system administrator to understand and configure RAID levels.
RAID 5DP provides superior data redundancy by protecting against the simultaneous failure of two member
disks by using independent error correction schemes. Users will find configuration significantly easier than
other array products, since RAID levels don’t need to be configured or managed. The VA7410 supports two
redundancy groups, which provides for physical data path separation of the two groups of LUNS.
The VA7410 is architected to communicate with multiple hosts and operating systems, otherwise known as a
simultaneous heterogeneous environment. For details on supported operating systems, please refer to the

One host port behavior is initially set in controller firmware, and then heterogeneous support for all other
operating systems is enabled through software in a host port behavior table. The controller default host port
behavior is set for HP-UX. The VA7xxx products are managed by the HP Command View SDM host-resident
software. A one-host license to use for HP StorageWorks Command View SDM is included with each VA7410.
Currently HP StorageWorks Command View SDM runs native on HP-UX, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Red
Hat Linux 6.2, 7.1. Installations on any of the other supported operating systems will require a dedicated
management station running one of the aforementioned operating systems to be in the data path of the VA7410
(i.e. in the switched fabric).
The VA7410 can be configured to use an active hot spare feature. An active hot spare is a portion of the array
capacity reserved to perform a rebuild. This feature requires the use of additional disk drives in the array.
Users can select from 0, 1, or 2 active hot spares. An active hot spare ensures that the array can maintain data
redundancy if one or two disks fail. Until it is needed, the array uses the active hot spare storage space as RAID
1+0 capacity, which improves array performance. The active hot spare storage capacity does not sit idle; it is
used to increase the array performance until the storage it is needed.
The VA7410 can be connected to one or more hosts, hubs, or switches via an optical fibre channel (FC)
interface with OS-dependant, 1- or 2-Gbps transfer rates. The default factory setting is 1-Gbps. It can be
ordered in factory-racked and field-rackable configurations. Factory-racked products are pre-configured in the
HP Rack/System E racks. Field-rackable products can be racked in HP racks or in Compaq 9000 racks.
The VA7410 is supported by HP’s Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE). HP’s online diagnostic and
resolution capability securely delivers remote reactive services that quickly resolve problems, proactive
service that anticipate and prevent downtime due to computing issues, and value-added services to help
monitor, manage and maintain global IT networks. A minimum level hardware support upgrade of same day is
required.

New Firmware Revision Code Designation for VA7410
Note: The release firmware for the VA7410 is “A100”.
The revision numbering for firmware for the VA7410 has changed. The revision numbering now consists of a
string of 4 ASCII characters (the HP designation has gone away). For example, a revision code of “X123”
represents the following:
• “X” is a single capital letter (A – Z) designating the platform
• “1” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a major FW revision
• “2” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a minor FW revision
• “3” is a single number or capital letter (0-9, A-Z) designating a sub-minor FW revision
Important VA7410/DS2405 Notes:
• On the VA7410 only the DS2405 is supported. For the VA7410, HP StorageWorks Command View SDM
software version 1.05 or later is required.
• Disk drive firmware may need to be upgraded. For more information, please check the Service Note server
at the following site and do a search on the VA family via product numbers to see all available and relevant
service notes: http://snserver.mayfield.hp.com/ServiceNotes/Snwebsite/SearchbyProdNum.asp
• Additionally, on the DS2405, the LCC FC loop speed must be set to 2-Gbps (this is the factory default). If
needed, refer to the DS2405 User Guide on setting LCC speed.
• The DS2405 is not supported connected directly to a switch.
• If you are upgrading to a VA7410 from an array with DS2400 JBODs, the DS2400 JBODs must also be
upgraded to DS2405 JBODs.
Product Features
Integrated VA arrays contain two (2) controllers. The array controllers contain the intelligence and
functionality required to manage the operation of the entire array. The array functions include:
• Implementing HP Virtual Storage Technology to ensure optimum performance and cost-efficient data
storage
• Managing all communication between the host and the disk drives via single or dual controller Fibre
Channel arbitrated loops
• Maintaining data integrity by automatically correcting any data errors that occur
• Rebuilding the array in the event of a disk failure
• Monitoring the operation of all hardware components, including the controller itself
• Alerting the host in the event of a component failure
The use of two controllers protects the array against a single controller failure. Both controllers may be active,
allowing a possible increase in performance, while providing data redundancy.
Each configured array controller includes the following components:
• One (1) or two (2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs), purchased separately if an additional Virtual
Array Controller is added
• One (1) Battery
• One (1) Early Warning Switch
