Overview  
HP MSA P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array Systems  
Hewlett Packard's MSA P2000 Family of storage arrays features P2000 G3 arrays with the latest 8 Gb Fibre Channel, 6 Gb SAS, 10GbE  
iSCSI connected models, and an iSCSI model with four 1 Gb iSCSI ports per controller. The arrays are designed for entry-level customers  
and feature the latest in functionality and host-connect technology while offering excellent price/performance. They are ideal for  
companies with small budgets or limited IT expertise, and also larger companies with departmental or remote requirements. Each  
solution is designed to be easy to deploy, to be secure, along with low management costs, while driving rapid return on investment  
through efficient storage consolidation.  
The MSA P2000 G3 arrays are 2U storage area network (SAN) or direct connect solutions (OS and protocol dependent) offering a choice  
of five controllers - two FC, one SAS, one 10GbE iSCSI and the newest model features a four port 1 Gb iSCSI. The first Fibre Channel  
controller is a high-performance, 8 Gb dual port model. The second offering is a unique dual-purpose Combo controller with two 8 Gb  
Fibre Channel ports with the addition of two 1GbE iSCSI ports. The third controller choice is 6Gb SAS with four ports per controller.  
There is also the addition of a two port 10 Gb iSCSI, while the latest controller introduction features four 1 Gb iSCSI ports per controller.  
Whatever the situation calls for, the P2000 G3 line-up has the right solution.  
The dual-protocol MSA P2000 G3 MSA FC/iSCSI Combo Controller gives exceptional flexibility. The 8 Gb FC ports support a full FC SAN  
while the two 1GbE iSCSI ports can serve two purposes. With this combination you can economically share the array storage resource  
with a smaller department accessing it over iSCSI or enable the new optional Remote Snap functionality over iSCSI protocol (also  
available over FC).  
The MSA P2000 G3 SAS is the follow-on product to the MSA2000sa G2, adding the latest 6 Gb SAS technology to the four host ports per  
controller. The P2000 G3 SAS array is designed for directly attaching up to four dual-path or eight single path rack servers. SAS array  
support for BladeSystems utilizes the HP 6 Gb SAS BL Switch.  
The MSA P2000 G3 10GbE iSCSI brings the very latest in high-performance host connection with technology generally found only in  
higher priced arrays. The bandwidth it provides in conjunction with server consolidation is highly advantageous in shared storage  
configurations. Array connection to 10GbE switches that are in turn connected to 1GbE NICs is commonplace. Directly attached server  
support requires the server units to have 10GbE NICs.  
Rounding out the controller choices is the MSA P2000 G3 iSCSI controller featuring four 1Gb iSCSI Ethernet ports, double the number of  
the G2 model. This allows an array that keeps the price of the components, particularly the interconnects, low while markedly  
increasing the performance capabilities.  
All MSA P2000 G3 models can be equipped with single or dual controllers, feature the same scalability, and offer 6 Gb SAS back-end  
transmission speed to drives and JBODs. Significant data protection advances are delivered by the all P2000 G3 arrays. All G3 units  
come STANDARD with sixty-four snapshot capability at no extra cost and there is an option for the G3 series of five hundred and twelve  
snapshots. Volume Copy (clone) also comes standard. In a further move to protect the user's data, optional Remote Snap (replication)  
capability is offered on the FC, FC/iSCSI, and both iSCSI versions.  
All MSA P2000 G3 models support hot plug replacement of redundant controllers, fans, power supplies, and I/O modules. Hot add of  
expansion enclosures is also supported.  
The controller-less MSA P2000 chassis is offered in two models - one comes standard with twelve Large Form Factor (LFF) 3.5-inch  
drive bays, the other can accommodate twenty-four Small Form Factor (SFF) 2.5-inch drives. Both are able to simultaneously support  
enterprise-class SAS drives, SAS Midline, and archival-class SATA Midline drives. Either chassis can have one or two matching P2000 G3  
controllers (same protocol) and are available with AC or DC power Supplies.  
The HP modular approach to entry level SAN solutions enables incremental customer purchases, allowing the array to grow as needs  
grow, thus allowing a maximum return on investment. Choose a single controller unit for low initial cost with the ability to upgrade  
later; or decide on a model with dual controllers for the most demanding entry-level situations. There are no unexpected additional  
charges, licenses or fees as you add enclosures or hosts and users.

HP MSA P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array Systems  
Key Features  
The HP P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array family encompasses five controllers, each featuring different protocols or combination of  
protocols to match the exact needs of the user.  
P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI Combo MSA controller: this unique controller offers both 8 Gb Fibre Channel and 1 GbE iSCSI functionalities  
built into a single array controller. This allows customers to enable storage needing high performance thru the FC ports while  
leveraging their SAN investment by sharing the array resources with smaller departments through low-cost iSCSI. It also  
enables optional Remote Snap (replication) for data protection.  
P2000 G3 FC MSA controller: Dual 8 Gb Fibre Channel host ports per controller give high performance with a mature topology  
and is compatible with the largest installed base of SAN users.  
P2000 G3 10GbE iSCSI MSA controller: HP was the first of the major modular array manufacturers that brought a high  
performance dual-ported 10GbE iSCSI solution to the entry level segment. Ideal for those who want to utilize cost-effective  
Ethernet as their infrastructure without sacrificing access time to their data. Now supports Remote Snap (replication).  
P2000 G3 SAS MSA controller: the P2000 G3 SAS model gives fast 6 Gb transmission rates with low cost SAS connections. Four  
host ports per controller support a highly efficient direct connect configuration.  
P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA controller offers four 1 Gb iSCSI ports utilizes the popular Ethernet infrastructure with its low cost and ease  
of management, while the additional ports assure increased performance over the previous generation. Now supports Remote  
Snap (replication).  
All P2000 G3 models offer a common set of valuable features:  
Ease of management featuring browser-based out-of-band access. This allows a department or small company to effectively  
handle growing storage requirements, with the aid of an intuitive GUI to administer the unit with a minimum of complexity. Ideal  
for local or remote installations.  
All G3 models come standard with 64 controller-based snapshots and clone capability. The G3 arrays also support an optional  
512 snaps.  
Choose either a low-cost single controller array or start with a configured dual controller array model to fit the budget, high  
availability, and performance needs.  
All models feature a wide variety of drives: enterprise-class SAS, SAS Midline, and archival-class SATA Midline in either P2000  
LFF 3.5-inch or HP Storage SFF 2.5-inch drives.  
P2000 G3 models can have a maximum number of P2000 LFF drive enclosures (7), a maximum number of D2700 SFF enclosures  
(5), or mix both sizes. The array can grow incrementally from a few drives to 178 TB SAS, 384 TB of SAS MDL or 192 TB SATA  
MDL.  
2 GB transportable read/write cache per controller. Battery-free cache backup with super capacitors and compact flash  
Vdisks can be spanned across multiple enclosures  
RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50  
Maximums vary by RAID levels: 2 drive max for RAID level 1; max of 16 drives for RAID levels 0, 3, 5, 6, and 10; max of 32 drives  
for RAID level 50  
512 LUNs with LUN sizes greater than 40TB depending on the RAID configuration chosen. The maximum LUN size is 64TB  
Non-disruptive on-line controller code upgrade (requires dual controllers w/ multi-pathing software)  
Upgradable by design. Owners of an original MSA2000 G1 or G2 array are able to do data-in-place controller upgrades to the  
P2000 G3 FC, Combo FC/iSCSI, 1 Gb or 10GbE iSCSI, or P2000 G3 SAS. Cross protocol upgrades are also supported between the  
protocols. This unique ability protects the earlier investments in chassis, drives, and JBODs

HP MSA P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array Systems  
8Gb Fibre Channel  
controller  
Two host ports per FC controller shipped with SFPs. The P2000 G3 FC controller can run in either point-to-  
point or FCAL (loop). The default is FCAL which is used in Direct Connect, particularly with two controllers.  
The PtP (fabric) mode is used with almost all switches.  
Combo controller with This ingenious dual-protocol "combo" controller supports a full FC SAN through the 8Gb FC ports, while  
designating the two 1 GbE iSCSI ports to enable remote replication over iSCSI protocol and perform as an  
iSCSI target. This allows economical sharing of the storage resource (the P2000 G3 array) with one  
department needing the performance afforded by the 8 Gb FC ports while simultaneously supporting  
another department with lesser performance needs and a budget only allowing a 1GbE iSCSI network.  
FC and iSCSI ports  
6Gb SAS controller  
Four 4x host ports per 6Gb SAS controller.  
10GbE iSCSI controller Two 10GbE ports per G3 10GbE iSCSI controller. Ports are ready for the choice of SFP (none included)

Modular Chassis  
Four 1 Gb Ethernet iSCSI ports per G3 iSCSI controller  
2U rack height. 12 Large Form Factor or 24 Small Form Factor drive bays, accommodating SAS and SATA.  
Comes with space for one or two controllers, or P2000 3.5-inch disk Enclosure I/O modules (LFF chassis  
only)  
Drives available  
The P2000 G3 controllers support both the P2000 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) drives, and the HP  
Storage 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) drives.  
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise-class drives are designed for high demand, 24x7 usage.  
SAS Midline and SATA Midline are usually reserved for archival of data as they are both relatively  
inexpensive and are available in very large capacities.  
The HP entry-level family of arrays can accommodate both SAS and SATA drives within the same enclosure  
making it ideal to have both business-critical, high activity files on SAS drives while using Snapshot, clone,  
or Remote Snap capability to keep back-up or archival data on the less expensive drives.  
For investment protection, the controllers will support single and dual port SAS & SATA drives in a legacy  
single - or dual - domain MSA70. This support allows current owners of MSA70s to migrate their single port  
drives (in their MSA70 only, not into the array head) to be attached to a P2000 G3 FC or SAS. They can only  
cascade to another single I/O MSA70. This is not a data-in-place transition, and overall performance could  
be impacted.  
SAS drive performance can be approximately 30% greater than SATA performance on sequential host I/O.  
SAS performance excels in sequential lower latency response time and random I/O per second transaction  
performance due to higher rpm disk speeds yielding lower seek times. SAS drive random performance is  
generally twice that of SATA drives.  
NOTE: P2000 and MSA2 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) drives are for use only in the P2000 G3 or

MSA2000 models. The 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF) drives are supported only with the P2000 G3 or the  
MSA2300 G2 controllers and are Storage hot-plug 2.5-inch drives.  
Optional Disk enclosures Just as the user has a choice of chassis for the array head (LFF and SFF drive bays, AC or DC powered), so  
also do they have a choice of expansion disk enclosures accommodating either drive size. Both the P2000  
and the D2700 disk enclosures can be hot-added to an operating array.  
(NOTE: these are not supported as part of a NEBS-certified configuration with the MSA Carrier Grade  
Chassis. There is a certified JBOD listed in the Carrier-grade section)  
P2000 3.5-inch drive enclosure. This 2U storage enclosure (AJ941A) is designed to support twenty five  
Storage 2.5-inch Universal form factor (SFF) 6Gb SAS or SATA hard drives. It ships standard with dual I/O  
modules installed.  
This 3.5-inch drive enclosure can be attached to either the P2000 G3 FC or SAS LFF or SFF array head.  
Each configured model ships standard with two .5m mini-SAS to mini-SAS cables for cascading to  
other P2000 drive enclosures  
Up to seven P2000 3.5-inch enclosures can be attached to a P2000 G3 FC, FC/iSCSI Combo, or SAS  
controller in the array head.  
D2700 2.5-inch drive enclosure. This 2U storage enclosure (AJ941A) is designed to support twenty five  
ProLiant 2.5-inch Universal form factor (SFF) 6Gb SAS or SATA hard drives. It ships standard with dual I/O  
modules installed.  
This 2.5-inch drive enclosure can be attached to a P2000 G3 controller (SFF or LFF) array head  
The D2700 enclosure ships with a two .5m miniSAS to miniSAS cable.  
Up to five D2700 may be attached to the P2000 G3 array head, given total support for 149 SFF drives.  
Scalability  
The P2000 G3 FC, Combo FC/iSCSI, SAS, 1 Gb or 10GbE iSCSI controllers are designed to allow an installation  
to begin with smaller capacity and be able to grow gradually as needed. The flexibility of SAS or SATA drive  
technology, form factors, sizes, speeds, and costs per GB allows a system to easily fit in almost any budget.  
Large Form Factor configurations can scale up to 7.2 TB SAS, 36TB SAS MDL or 24 TB SATA,  
expandable to 57.6 TB SAS, 384 TB SAS MDL or 192 TB SATA with the addition of a maximum of seven  
P2000 3.5-inch Drive Enclosures.  
Small Form Factor configurations can scale from 21.6 TB SAS, 24 TB SAS MDL or 12 TB SATA MDL.  
With the addition of five D2700 JBODs, the P2000 G3 can support 134 TB SAS, 149 TB SAS MDL or  
74.5 TB SATA MDL.  
Users may configure a 24-drive P2000 G3 SFF array head with 12-drive LFF P2000 3.5-inch disk  
enclosures. This is an excellent method for a configuration that supports fast SFF enterprise-class  
SAS drives in the array head, combined with economical LFF drives staged for archival purposes, all in  
the same array.  
Qualification of larger capacity drives is ongoing.  
Vdisks  
LUNs  
Vdisks can span across multiple enclosures, where drives used in the Vdisk can be contained in different  
enclosures. The maximum number of drives that can be used in RAID 1 Vdisk is 2; RAID 0, 3, 5, 6, and 10 is  
16; and for RAID 50 Vdisk is 32.  
The HP 2000 family of arrays supports 512 LUNs (total volumes in a dual controller system) and LUN sizes  
up to 64 TB depending on the RAID configuration chosen. The array supports expansion and deletion of any  
LUN.  
RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50 In addition to the usual RAID levels, the P2000 G3 features several important additional levels. RAID 6 is the  
highest level of RAID protection. It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous  
write operations. It can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss. RAID 10 is  
mirroring and striping without parity. It is the most popular of the multiple RAID levels, allowing large arrays  
with high performance in most cases and superior fault tolerance. RAID 50 combines the block striping and  
parity of RAID 5 with the straight block striping of RAID 0, yielding higher performance than RAID 5 through

Performance  
Performance numbers are a guideline as established by tests using RAW I/O in an Operating System  
Agnostic test lab environment. 144 GB 15K SAS drives were used in a dual controller configuration of 12  
vdisks consisting of twelve disks per vdisk, 1.6 TB volumes, and 3 volumes per host. 4 hosts directly  
attached to the P2000 G3 array were used in this test configuration (results cannot be expected with a  
single host). Results were achieved in Sequential Writes with 256K blocks; all random tests were based on  
8K block sizes.  
NOTE: Number and type of applications, drive type and number of drives, operating system used, and the  
number of hosts will affect overall performance. This table is provided strictly as a test-lab comparison.  
Note: These numbers reflect a full array configuration with the maximum number of front-end ports, disks,  
and controllers. The test results shown for the P2000 G3 are designed to give a conservative reference  
point for comparisons.

VMware Site Recovery  
VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM)  
Manager (SRM)  
VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is an extension to VMware vCenter that delivers business-  
continuity and disaster-recovery solution that helps you plan, test, and execute the recovery of vCenter  
virtual machines. SRM can discover and manage replicated datastores, and automate migration of  
inventory from one vCenter to another. Site Recovery Manager integrates with the underlying replication  
product through a Storage Replication Adapter (SRA).  
HP P2000 Site Recovery Adapter (SRA)  
The HP P2000 SRA, a free-to-use plugin, is the program that integrates the VMware cCenter SRM with HP  
P2000 G3 arrays. It enables full-featured use of the VMware SRM. It is a host-software component  
installed on a Microsoft Windows Server that enables disaster recovery management (DRM) software on  
the host to communicate and control certain aspects of the replication feature in storage systems  
connected to the server. It allows the VMware SRM software to automatically coordinate virtual machine  
failover and failback between a protected data center and a disaster recovery site by employing a disaster  
recovery solution called Remote Snap. A perfect combination of the Remote Snap replication and VMware  
SRM provides an unfailing automated solution for implementing and testing the disaster recovery between  
sites located across geographies. It enables communication between the HP P2000 Remote Snap  
replication functionality that is embedded in HP P2000 Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and Combo Fibre Channel  
systems. Users are required to acquire Remote Snap license for their local and remote HP P2000 G3 arrays  
to use the HP P2000 SRA.  
Site Recovery Manager Requirements/Dependencies:  
Requires vSphere 5.0/SRM 5.0  
Not compatible with SRM 4.x  
Requires HP's P2000 SRA 2.0 Plug-in (downloadable from Hp.com)

HP Insight Control Storage Module for vCenter  
HP Insight Control Storage Module for vCenter is a component within the HP Insight Control 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 P2000  
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.  
The HP Insight Control Storage Module for vCenter supports mixed array environments including EVA,  
P4000, P2000 (MSA), and the XP array series including the P9500.

The vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) is one of the storage application programming interface (API)  
sets in vSphere 4.1. VAAI is an API storage partners can leverage to enhance performance of virtual  
machine (VM) management operations by delegating these operations to the storage array. With hardware  
offload, ESX/ESXi hosts perform certain operations faster and consume less server CPU and memory  
resources, and also storage port and storage fabric bandwidth. VAAI includes high performance and  
scalable VM data path primitives. HP introduced VAAI support for HP MSA P2000 Storage array products  
starting with the T230 firmware release.

HP P2000 Remote Snap Software is array based software that provides remote replication on the HP  
P2000 G3 MSA Array products (except SAS model). HP 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 that may be on the same system or on a second independent system. This second system may  
be collocated with the first system or may be located at a remote site. It requires T230Rxx controller  
firmware or higher.  
HP Remote Snap functionality is based on existing Snapshot technology offered by HP P2000 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.  
HP 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

Product Features  
Storage based asynchronous snapshot replication  
Initial copy of data can be performed locally, reducing burden on wide area networks  
Support of both Ethernet and Fiber 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  
Single controller to single controller replication  
Mixed controller replication - replication between P2000 G3 Fibre Channel and P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI  
Combo arrays  
Advanced scheduler provides several options to IT administrators for business continuance  
Flexible architecture allows remote replication between P2000 G3 Fibre Channel and/or P2000 G3  
FC/iSCSI Combo arrays. You can also join dissimilar controllers; for instance a Combo controller can  
snap remotely to a 1 or 10 GbE iSCSI array. Protects existing investments and enhances business  
continuity planning objectives.  
Replication Wizard simplifies the task of setting up and establishing replication pairs from one unified,  
easy to use GUI.  
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.  
Bundled 64 Snapshots and Volume Copy integration provides better efficiencies by combining the  
management and array technologies to create local copies.

Customer Benefits  
Disaster Recovery  
Replication technology has typically been used to address disaster recovery issues. Disaster recovery is still  
the driving business case behind replication. Remote replication can be implemented from the production site  
to one or more remote sites across a campus, across town, across a state or across the country. When a  
disaster strikes the primary location, the applications can be brought up at the remote site and continue  
processing against the replicated copies. When the primary site is back online, the replication can be reversed  
and when the data is resynchronized, processing can be switched back to the primary site and business can  
continue. In the past, if an e-mail system experienced a disaster it was an "oh well" moment. The loss of a day  
or more of e-mail was not considered important. Today, e-mail is a critical component of many companies'  
business plans and recovering e-mail after a disaster quickly and completely is required.  
Maintenance  
HP Remote Snap software can also be used to solve other business needs. For instance, E-mail servers may  
need periodic maintenance that can take hours to complete. With remote replication in place, the downtime  
can be minimal (as long as it takes to bring the remote peer of the primary e-mail server online). The primary  
server can be worked on (patches, hardware upgrades, etc.) and then brought back online and into production.  
A whole datacenter can be failed over to a remote site on purpose to perform maintenance on generators, air  
conditioning, etc. Replication can also be used to perform a datacenter move with minimal downtime (fail  
everything to the DR site, move the production datacenter to its new location then fail the DR site back to the  
new datacenter).  
Storage Based  
Data replication is performed at the storage subsystem controller level and is totally transparent to the host,  
alleviating unnecessary host cycles to perform the data mirroring functions. Unlike a fabric based or host  
based solution, the storage based solution dedicates its resources to managing the replication process  
between arrays, with minimal impact to applications, other data or devices on the SAN.

HP MSA P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array Systems  
Bi-Directional  
The bidirectional HP P2000 Array solution addresses the growing need among businesses to ensure  
continuous availability of applications that are critical to daily business operations. HP P2000 enables two  
sites in a remote replication connection to use each other as a destination to maintain replicated copies of  
online data. This maximizes resource utilization while enabling business continuance, even in the event of  
disaster.  
Disaster Tolerance  
The P2000 G3 FC products utilize snapshot data online and in real time to a remote P2000 G3 through a local  
or extended storage area network (SAN). Additionally, data replication can be bidirectional, meaning that a  
storage array can be both a source and a destination. A particular LUN can be replicated in only one direction  
between the two storage arrays. Write I/O data sent to the source is replicated by HP P2000 Array to the  
destination. A pair of properly configured HP P2000 G3 FC arrays is a replication solution that guarantees data  
integrity in the event of a storage system or site failure.  
Normalization (first initial copy)  
When a DR site is initially created a normalization or initial copy of the data from the source volume to the  
target volume must occur. The P2000 G3 array allows this first copy to take place locally. After completion the  
disks can me manually moved to the remote location. Subsequent changes will only remotely copy the  
changed blocks.  
SAN Extensions  
HP P2000 G3 Array provides the capability to replicate data over direct Fibre Channel. The distances supported  
over dark fiber are determined by the speed of the dark fiber connection and the technology used to  
communicate over the dark fiber.  
Path failover (MPIO)  
MPIO for Windows provides a single multi-path solution for HP P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array on HP servers.  
Support for Windows 2003 and Windows 2003 R2 operating systems is provided by HP MPIO Full Featured
