MSA1000 Components

msa Hub 2/3

The HP StorageWorks msa Hub 2/3 is a low-cost interconnect designed for clustering or low cost, high speed

 

attachment of two servers to the msa1000, an entry-level storage area network (SAN) solution. The msa Hub 2/3

 

is a 3-port Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop hub that is mounted on a blade that easily installs inside the msa1000

 

storage unit, saving valuable rack space. Two of these hubs may be installed for redundancy within the msa1000.

 

The msa Hub 2/3 is not cascadable.

 

The hub presents the user with two SFP ports for simple direct attachment to two single or clustered servers

 

without having to purchase an external interconnect device. It offers the most cost-effective solution for a user to

 

enable a clustered server environment.

 

high-performance: supports msa1000 with a 2 Gb interconnect capable of 200 MB/s speed

 

low cost: supports the entry-level SAN array with the most cost effective option for 2-node clustering

 

compact: imbeds in the msa1000, replacing the I/O module, saving valuable rack space

 

complete: comes with two SW SFPs – no need for further investment

 

 

msa SAN switch 2/8

The hp StorageWorks msa SAN switch 2/8 ia a new optional switch embedded on a blade, for mounting internal

 

to an msa1000. The msa SAN Switch 2/8 offers low price per port and full scalability, doing so while taking zero

 

rack space, even in a redundant configuration. It ships with four SFPs installed. Because of its’ low cost per port it

 

is the most cost effective method of enabling the larger SAN. It is interoperable with the hp line of SAN

 

interconnect family of FC switches.

 

eight 2 Gb ports: 1 to controller, 7 user accessible

 

product ships with 4 SFPs installed

 

no E-port restriction, accepts all optional software

 

interoperates with external SAN Switch 2 Gb switches

 

configuration and management methodology common with SAN Switch product line, same methods as

 

 

installed base of 30,000+ HP SAN Switches

2Gb Small Form Factor Pluggable 2 Gb Small-Form-Factor-Pluggable (SFP) SW Transceivers are industry standard connection devices, which hot

(SFP) SW Transceiver Kit

plug into 2 Gb infrastructure components such as 2 Gb Fabric Switches. StorageWorks 2 Gb SFP SW

 

Transceivers support distances up to 300 metres at 2 Gb and 500 metres at 1 Gb using multi-mode fiber optic

 

cable.

Multi-Mode Fibre Channel Cables Multi-Mode Fibre Channel cables provide a thin, flexible cabling solution that is immune to electromagnetic interference. HP offers cables to connect the msa1000 to both 2 Gb and 1 Gb Fibre Channel infrastructures. LC to LC cables are used when connecting the msa1000 to other 2 Gb Fibre Channel components because both connections will utilize small form factor transceivers. LC to SC cables are used when connecting the msa1000 to 1 Gb Fibre Channel components. 1 Gb components use the larger GBIC style transceivers.

SOFTWARE COMPONENTS

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The command line interface (CLI) is used to configure and manage the MSA1000. Additionally, the CLI can be

 

used to display system information and status. See the HP StorageWorks Modular SAN Array 1000 User Guide

 

for more information on the CLI commands
