Volume Copy
• 512 Snapshots and Volume Copy are standard features on the MSA 2052
• Snapshots create up to 512 point-in-time copies of data
• Volume Copies create up to 128 point-in-time copies of data
• Volume copies become standard volumes when they are complete
• Recovery is instant - revert data from any previous Snapshot or Volume Copy
• Backup 'snapped' data to disk, virtual tape, or physical tape without a backup window
the HPE MSA 2050 array products. MSA 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 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 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
underlying technology it creates multiple local recovery points which can be used for such
tasks as to complement daily backups; second, replication provides the ability to access data in
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

NOTE: One Advanced Data Services Suite 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
• Support of both Ethernet and Fibre Channel interconnects provides flexible options to the
application environments.
•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 2052 and MSA 2040 or MSA
1040 arrays using the virtual storage architecture and licensed for Remote Snap. Protects
existing investments and enhances business continuity planning objectives.
•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.
• 512 Snapshots and Volume Copy integration provides better efficiencies by combining the
management and array technologies to create local copies.
• Fast application recovery with minimal or no transaction loss
• Creation of disaster tolerant copies of your critical business data
• No-single-point-of-failure solution to increase the availability of your data
VMware vCenter
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 2052
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.
HPE OneView for VMware vCenter supports mixed array environments including MSA 2050/2052,
MSA 2040/2042, MSA 1040, P2000, EVA, P4000, and the XP array series including the P9500.
When deployed with the MSA 2052 array, HPE OneView provides the following:
• Active Management functionality for the MSA 2052 array:
- Create/Expand/Delete a Datastore
- Create a Virtual Machine from a template
• Monitors the health and status of the MSA 2052
• Displays LUN / volume connections from VMs and ESX servers to the arrays and provides
the location and attributes of the MSA 2052 within the SAN
• Identifies what storage features are available to allow administrators to match the features
available on the MSA 2052 to their requirements
• Provide a cluster-level view of the storage
