• 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 volume by copying
the data represented by the snapshot via iSCSI or Fibre Channel protocols. Replication via the SAS
protocol is not supported. The amount of data transferred is minimized though the use of snapshots
whenever possible.
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 iSCSI 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
• Replication between on MSA 1050 to another MSA is supported (1 to 1 peer connection).
• Replication up to four MSA 1050s to a single MSA 2050 is supported. Typical 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

•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.

HPE OneView for VMware vCenter is a component within the HPE OneView plug-in for vCenter. It 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 1050 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 1050/2050/2052,
MSA 1040/2040/2042 and other HPE Storage systems.
When deployed with the MSA 1050 array, HPE OneView provides the following:
• Active Management functionality for the MSA 1050 array:
- Create/Expand/Delete a Datastore
- Create a Virtual Machine from a template
• Monitors the health and status of the MSA 1050
• Displays LUN / volume connections from VMs and ESX servers to the arrays and provides the
location and attributes of the MSA 1050 within the SAN
• Identifies what storage features are available to allow administrators to match the features available
on the MSA 1050 to their requirements
• Provide a cluster-level view of the storage
