  37. P2000 G3 Software

  38. P2000 G3 – Remote SnapDisaster Recovery for remote sites over IP (WAN) P2000 G3 P2000 G3 • Snapshot-based replication over Ethernet to enable Disaster Recovery. • VSS-based Snapshots replicated from Site “A” to Site “B”. • Initial replication can be done with a physical media transfer. • Site “B” can mount the latest Snapshots to begin running as the primary online source. • Replication only moves only new data across the wire. • Can be replicated over LAN/WAN using iSCSI ports, or over FC using FC ports. • Can hold 512 Snaps per array

  39. P2000 G3 – Remote SnapDisaster Recovery for Local Campus over FC P2000 G3 P2000 G3 • Snapshot-based replication over FC to enable Disaster Recovery. • VSS-based Snapshots can be replicated between arrays w/out servers in the replication path • Initial replication can be done with a physical media transfer. • Replication only moves only new data across the FC link. • Up to 512 Snaps per array

  40. Recent Remote Snap Enhancements (for FC and FC/iSCSI controllers only) Many to 1 Replication (up to 4 nodes) replicate from “many” branch offices to the home office for the purposes of backing up data from the branch office Mixed controller replication P2000 G3 FC Controller -> FC/iSCSI Combo Controller FC/iSCSI Combo controller -> P2000 G3 FC Controller Single controller to single controller replication Physical media transfer enhancement Vdisk can be shut down and removed on a live system – no longer requires the array or JBOD to be shut down

  41. Management

  42. Management support – New features with G3 models Web browser support The P2000 G3 arrays support target based management, and include a Web interface and a telnet interface • They utilize a web browser for management. NEW: SMI-S interface provides a standards-based embedded management capability for applications • Native SMI-S (does not request host software to be installed) NEW: performance monitoring commands are available in the CLI telnet interface NEW: HDD Spin-down supported for energy savings (standard) The P2000 G3 supports Microsoft Internet Explorer V7.x and V8.x, and Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 or later.

  43. MSA P2000 G3 HDD Spin-down Feature • Reduce power consumption of a given system by at least 20% when all drives are in a spun-down state. • Supports both SATA, MDL and SAS disk drives. • JBOD enclosures are supported, in addition to the RAID head. • Management Features: • User enable/disable (default is off) • Can set policy per VDisk • User must configure the inactivity timer for each VDisk (includes dedicated spares) • Disk Scrubbing disabled when Spindown is activated • Unused and Hot-Spare HDDs • Once enabled, unused and global spare disks are automatically monitored with a default policy. • User can modify the inactivity timer for unused and global spare disks. • GUI Monitoring: • Indicates HDDs and VDisks that are in a spun-down state • Provides a counter for how many times an HDD has spun down.

  44. Upgrades

  45. Upgrading existing MSA2000 arrays • P2000 G3 controllers can be used to replace controllers in MSA2000 arrays. This is a “Data in Place” process! • Existing MSA2000 and MSA2000 G2 customers can upgrade their systems with P2000 G3 controllers (FC, SAS or iSCSI). • Retain their chassis, drives, and JBODs • Newly configured unit takes on the full personality of a G3 except that the “back-end” of the array head itself would be restricted to the SAS 3Gb transfer speed • Vdisk configuration on the older array will be detected • P2000 G3 features like increased scalability, standard snapshot and Volume Copy, (optional Remote Snap for FC or Combo) would now be characteristic of their newly upgraded array • Cross-protocol , in addition to generational upgrades are also supported • For example owners of an early MSA2000i iSCSI array (G1) could upgrade with third generation P2000 G3 FC controllers. • Review the upgrade whitepapers for more information • Upgrading the HP StorageWorks MSA2000 G2 to the P2000 G3 MSA • (http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA0-8304ENW.pdf)

  46. Investment Protection • Hewlett Packard's 2000 series of entry-level arrays is the leader in the field of supporting upgrades - between the generations AND between protocols MSA2000fc G1 P2000 G3 8Gb FC MSA2000fc G2 P2000 G3 10GbE iSCSI MSA2000i G2 MSA2000i G1 P2000 G3 1GbE iSCSI MSA2000sa G1 MSA2000sa G2 P2000 G3 6Gb SAS Data in Place Upgrade White Papers available at www.hp.com/go/P2000
