All MSA 2042 models offer a common set of valuable features (cont):
The two 400GB SSDs can be optionally deployed as read cache, as an SSD virtual disk group for tiered storage, or as a
Linear disk group.
- Deploy the two embedded SSDs as Read Cache to improve random read performance. A maximum of 2 SSD’s are
supported per pool providing a maximum of 4TB of read cache per controller
- Deploy the two embedded SSDs as tiered storage. The MSA 2042 can manage up to three tiers of storage:
Performance tier, Standard tier and Archive tier..
- The Performance Auto Tiering License necessary to create a SSD virtual disk group for both read and write
capabilities comes standard with all MSA 2042 models. No additional software license purchase is necessary
All MSA 2042 models come standard with the Advanced Data Services (ADS) Software Suite LTU. Software titles
included in the ADS Software Suite include:
- HPE MSA 2042 Performance Automated Tiering LTU
- HPE MSA 512-Snapshot Software LTU
- HPE MSA Remote Snap Software LTU
MSA 2042 controller architecture which maximizes performance
- Four host ports per controller
MSA 2042 SAN controller supports 8 GB FC, 16 GB FC, 1GbE iSCSI or 10GbE iSCSI. MSA 2042 SAS controller supports 6 GB and 12 GB SAS host connectivity.
- 6 GB transportable read/write cache per controller.
- Battery-free cache backup with super capacitors and compact flash

The Performance Tiering functionality is provided at no charge on the MSA 2042.

firmware or later. HPE MSA Remote Snap Software is array based software that provides remote replication on the HPE MSA 2042 Array products. HPE Remote Snap is a form of asynchronous replication which consists of replication of block-level data from a volume on a local system to a volume that may be on the same system or on a second independent system. This second system may be co-located with the first system or may be located at a remote site.
HPE Remote Snap functionality is based on existing Snapshot technology offered by HPE MSA
SAN and SAS Array products. Snapshots are used to track the data to be replicated as well as to determine the differences in data updated on the master volume, minimizing the amount of data to be transferred.
HPE Remote Snap replication technology provides the ability to accomplish key data
management and protection capabilities. First, because Remote Snap uses snapshots as the

VMware Site Recovery

Site Recovery Adapter
The MSA 2042 SRA, a free-to-use plugin, is the program that integrates the VMware vCenter SRM
implementing and testing the disaster recovery between sites located across geographies. It enables
a remote site which could be used for dispersed operations; and third but definitely not least important replication allows for business continuance in the event of a failure on the primary site.
In order to perform a replication, a snapshot of the volume to be replicated is taken, creating a
point-in-time image of the data. This point-in-time image is then replicated to the destination volume by copying the data represented by the snapshot via a transport medium such as TCP/IP (iSCSI) or Fibre Channel. The amount of data transferred is minimized though the use of snapshots whenever possible.
NOTE: A Remote Snap License is provided with the MSA2042. One license per array is required for replication. For example, if you have two MSA arrays performing replication (from Primary system to Remote System), you will need a total of 2 licenses.
Product Features
Storage based asynchronous snapshot replication
Initial copy of data can be performed locally, reducing burden on wide area networks
Support of both Ethernet and Fibre Channel interconnects provides flexible options to the
application environments. Remote Snap is not supported on SAS models.
Snapshot based replication technology means only changed data will be replicated to alternate
site
Many to 1 replication (up to 4 nodes) - primary use case is to replicate from "many" branch
offices to the home office for the purpose of backing up data from the branches
Advanced scheduler provides several options to IT administrators for business continuance
Flexible architecture allows remote replication between MSA 2042 and/or MSA 2040, MSA
1040 or P2000 G3 supported arrays. Protects existing investments and enhances business continuity planning objectives.
Replication Wizard (Linear only) simplifies the task of setting up and establishing replication
pairs from one unified, easy to use GUI.
Snapshot based replication enables both local and remote recovery depending on the need.
Snapshot replication isolates problems to a specific point in time which can be selected by the administrator. Additionally snapshot replication supports longer distance replication.
Multiple relationships provide greater storage flexibility and utilization.

provides VMware administrators that are using VMware's vSphere management console (vCenter) with the ability to see how virtual machines are mapped to datastores and individual MSA 2042 volumes. By providing these clear relationships between VM's, datastores and storage, the VMware administrator's productivity increases, as does the ability to ensure quality of service. Roles for administrators can be defined on an individual basis, providing the ability to apply specific permissions for both view and control functions.
