Overview
HP StorageWorks 1500 cs Modular Smart Array
The HP StorageWorks 1500 cs Modular Smart Array is a 2Gb Fibre Channel SAN attached 2U controller shelf that connects to both
enterprise-class SCSI and Serial ATA (SATA)disk enclosures. HP recommends SCSI drives for intensive heavy I/O requirements while
SATA drives should only be used in archived, reference, or "near on-line" disk-to-disk backup configurations. This combination
provides customers with a low cost, high capacity storage solution. NOTE: SCSI hard drive options have a three year warranty and
SATA hard drives options have a one year warranty. This solution has been designed as a hardware foundation for which future
solutions can be designed and implemented for investment protection. The MSA1500 cs with up-to-eight attached SATA enclosures
can provide the customer with up to 24 TB (96 - 250 GB SATA disk drives) of native capacity. If the business requires SCSI reliability
then attach up-to-four SCSI enclosures for a raw capacity of 16.8 TB (using 56 - 300 GB SCSI disks). The system supports mixing
SCSI and SATA enclosures.
The MSA1500 cs provides 2 Gb Fibre Channel to the hosts. By utilizing existing SCSI drive enclosures and MSA1000/1500
controller technology and integrating the use of our lowest cost SATA hard drives and enclosures, the MSA1500 cs lowers the total
cost of ownership and extends the customers hardware investments into the future. With lower cost of ownership, customers can now
take advantage of tiered storage capabilities matching up data with appropriate levels of performance, availability and cost of data
storage. The result is lower overall cost without giving up the needs of business applications.
The MSA1500 cs is a member of the HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array family, delivering industry-leading technology to meet
today's demanding and growing storage needs. These storage solutions offer the best price performance features for direct attach
environments and entry-level and mid-range SAN environments. Each solution is designed to maximize transfer rates, reduce
management costs, while driving rapid return on investment.
The MSA1500 cs can be remotely managed by using management tools such as HP Insight Manager, Array Configuration Utility
and the HP StorageWorks Fabric Switch Management Utility depending on the host's operating system.
What's New
Updating both of the MSA1500 cs SAN Starter Kits and the MSA1500 SAN Starter Kit HA Bundle to include the new B-series
4Gb HP StorageWorks 4/8 Base SAN Switch and four 4Gb SFPs. The array itself and the included HBAs remain 2Gb.

HP StorageWorks Secure HP StorageWorks Secure Path is a family of high availability multi-pathing software products providing
Path
continuous data access from the HP RAID Array to host servers running the Windows Server 2003,
Windows 2000, and Linux operating systems.
Redundant hardware, advanced RAID technology and Secure Path's automated failover capability are
used to enhance fault tolerance and availability. Secure Path effectively eliminates controllers, disk drives,
interconnect hardware and host bus adapters as single points of failure in the storage subsystem.
The attachment of non-Secure Path (single HBA) servers to a MSA1500 cs with dual controllers that has
servers with Secure Path (dual HBA) attached is supported where the operating system is Windows or
Netware. Users must realize that in event of a controller fail-over (failure of active controller) the single
path servers will lose access to their data on the MSA1500 cs.
NOTE: If Secure Path for Linux is used on any node attached to an MSA1500 cs, all nodes must also
have Secure Path installed, regardless of operating systems.

MSA1500 Clustering
Clustering is rapidly gaining in popularity as users desire a high level of data availability. Many of the old
cluster restrictions that were the product of both hardware and operating systems have been overcome.
While there still remain configuration limits, the result is a new high degree of flexibility both in number of
clusters, mixing clusters with single nodes, and the integration of dissimilar operating systems. Initially
Windows, HP-UX and Linux clusters can be attached to an MSA1500 having both SCSI and SATA drives,
while NetWare clusters currently only support SCSI drives. This is only a restriction in a NetWare clustered
environment.
For example you may mix three Microsoft (Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000) clusters and other
individual servers, even doing so in a heterogeneous server operating system environment. Windows
Server 2003 allows a single cluster of up to eight nodes.
Single-path (single controller, non-Secure Path) NetWare clustering has been successfully tested up to a
12-node cluster. NetWare clusters employing Secure Path (dual controller, dual HBAs) are limited to six
nodes. Multiple NetWare clusters (and single servers) may have concurrent access with no limitation
inherent to the MSA1500 cs. Likewise up to a 16-node Linux cluster (single controller, non-Secure Path)
utilizing SteelEye LifeKeeper for Linux clustering software has been tested and is supported. Refer to
http://www.hp.com/go/securepath for any restriction with Secure Path.
The MSA1500 cs has the ability to be configured with thirty-two LUNs. A configuration of twenty attached
servers has been tested and is supported. More commonly, users have had an average of four to eight
nodes. This can be any combination of hosts or clusters with different operating systems (while holding
fast to the guidelines and limits described in the above paragraphs. Performance within these guidelines
is heavily dependent on the actual number of end users and types of applications being employed.
