All MSA 1040 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

Thin Provisioning allows storage allocation of physical storage resources only when they are consumed by an application.

When capacity is added to a system, the user

complexity. Ideal for local or remote installations.

• Storage Management Utility V3 (SMU). This new MSA management GUI brings a new modern look and feel to array

management. SMU V3 is available with GL200 firmware or newer. Existing MSA customers can choose to use the new SMU (V3) or to continue to use the previous generation SMU (V2) if new virtualization features are not required.

•

Thin Provisioning also allows over-provisioning of physical storage pool resources allowing ease of growth for volumes without predicting storage capacity upfront. Thin Provisioning is available with GL200 firmware or newer.

• MSA 1040 comes standard with 64 controller-based snapshots and clone capability (volume copy is only available on

linear storage with pre-GL220 firmware; volume copy for both linear and virtual storage is available with GL220 firmware or newer). There is also an optional license for 512 snapshots.

• Dual controller array models with automated failover for high availability.

• All models support a wide variety of drives: High-performance enterprise-class SAS, and high-capacity SAS Midline drives.

• The MSA 1040 will support a maximum of 3 disk enclosures (either LFF and/or SFF); Add-on enclosures can either be

D2700 Small Form Factor (SFF) Drive Enclosures or MSA 2040 Large Form Factor (LFF) Disk Enclosures. The array can grow incrementally from a few drives to 48 LFF or 99 SFF drives.

• Disk Groups support RAID levels 1, 5, 6, 10. Linear Vdisks support RAID levels 0,1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50.

• Maximum hard drive counts 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. With GL200 or newer firmware and the purchases virtualization license multiple Disk Groups can be aggregated into a Storage Pool.

• The maximum LUN size is 140TB (128TiB)

• Storage Pools allow data on a given LUN to span across all drives in a pool.

is also getting a performance benefit of the additional spindles – hence the term Wide Striping. with GL200 firmware or newer and the advanced Virtualization license needs to be purchased separately.

• Snapshot enhancements for virtual storage, including performance improvements, hierarchical snapshots, and simplified

resource management. These enhancements are offered with GL200 or newer firmware and with the purchase of advanced Virtualization license.

• Snapshot enhancements for virtual storage, including performance improvements, hierarchical snapshots, and simplified

resource management. Administrators can monitor and optionally control snapshot space usage with GL220 firmware or later.

• Scheduler to schedule virtual storage snapshots for replication with GL220 firmware or later.

• SSD support is available with GL220 firmware or newer. With SSD support customers can enable advanced virtualization

features such as read cache and automated tiering (requires Advanced Virtualization Upgrade License). SSD performance tier requires additional Performance Auto Tiering License.

• Virtual tier affinity allows customers to prioritize data by assigning appropriate affinity level (Performance, No Affinity &

Archive) with GL220 firmware or later.

Non-disruptive on-line controller code upgrade (requires dual controllers w/ multi-pathing software) Upgradable by design. Owners of a P2000 G3 array are able to do data-in-place upgrades to the new MSA 1040 array.

This unique ability protects the earlier investments in drives, and JBODs.

NOTE: Certain limitations are applicable- please review MSA 1040-2040 Upgrade Technical Whitepaper before upgrading

Disk Group

Storage Pools

you will see reference to Vdisk in the Virtual Storage and the SMU V3 you will see Disk Group. Vdisk and Disk Group are essentially the same. Vdisks have additional RAID types (RAID 0, 3) available only in the CLI.

A Disk Group is a collection of disks in a given redundancy mode (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10, 50). It is

equivalent

to a Vdisk in Linear Storage and utilizes the same proven fault tolerant technology used by Linear Storage. Disk Group RAID level and size can be created based on performance and/or capacity requirements. With GL200 or newer firmware multiple Disk Groups can be allocated into a Storage Pool for use with the Virtual Storage features.

volumes can be mapped to LUNs. Maximum LUN sizes up to 140TB (128TiB), the LUNs size are dependent on the storage architecture: Linear vs. Virtualized. Thin Provisioning allows the user to create the LUNs independent of the physical storage.

The GL200 firmware or newer introduces Storage Pools – which are comprised of one or more Disk

given LUN can now span all disk drives in a pool. When capacity is added to a system, users will benefit from the performance of all spindles in that pool. Leveraging Storage Pools, the MSA 2040 supports large, flexible Volumes with sizes up to 128Ti facilitates seamless capacity expansion. As volumes are expanded data automatically reflows to balance capacity utilization on all drives.

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. 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

between array configurations, workloads, hard drive types, vdisk setup parameters and host system setup. All Performance information is measure using Linear Storage.
