Supports Predictive Spare Activation

Fault Prevention

The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to be taken:

S.M.A.R.T.: Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology first developed at Hewlett Packard Enterprise detects possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the component before failure occurs.

Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and notifying the administrator.

Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk drives during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.

Smart Array Cache Tracking monitors integrity of controller cache, allowing pre-failure preventative maintenance.

Fault Recovery

Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure:

Recovery ROM: This feature protects the user from a firmware image corruption by storing a redundant copy of the firmware image. If the active firmware image becomes corrupt, the controller will use the redundant firmware image and continue operating.

On-Line Spares: There is no limit to the number of spare drives that can be installed prior to drive failure. If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an On-Line Spare and data is reconstructed automatically.

DRAM ECC detects and corrects data bit errors.

HPE SmartCache

The HPE SmartCache feature is a controller-based read and write caching solution in a DAS environment that caches the most frequently accessed data ("hot" data) onto lower latency SSDs to dynamically accelerate application workloads. The HPE SmartCache architecture is flexible and supports any HPE ProLiant Gen9 supported HDD for bulk storage and any HPE ProLiant Gen9 supported SSD as an accelerator. HPE SmartCache is deployed and managed using the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA).

HPE Secure Encryption

HPE Secure Encryption is a Smart Array controller-based data encryption solution for ProLiant Gen9 servers that protects sensitive, mission critical data. This is an enterprise-class encryption solution for data at rest on any bulk storage attached to the HPE Smart Array P741m including data on the cache memory of the controller. HPE Secure Encryption is an optional license per server requiring encryption enablement (see Related Options for more information on the license).

The solution is available for both local and remote key management mode deployments. Local Key Management Mode is focused on single server deployment where there is one Master key per controller that is managed by the user. Remote Key Management Mode is for enterprise wide deployments from just a few servers to thousands of servers.

FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Module Validation

FIPS provides a security assurance level validation for cryptographic modules. HPE Smart Array P741m controller has completed FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validation (certificate #2506). The validation for this controller has recently moved to the Historical List. HPE is actively engaged in activities to return this controllers to the Validated Modules List. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued the FIPS 140-2 requirements and standards for cryptography modules that include both hardware and software components.

HPE SSD Smart Path

The HPE SSD Smart Path feature included in the Smart Array software stack improves Solid State Disk (SSD) read performance. With up to 4x better SSD read performance, HPE SSD Smart Path chooses the optimum path to the SSD and accelerates reads for all RAID levels and RAID 0 writes. HPE SSD Smart Path requires updated firmware, drivers, and configuration utility available at: http://www.hpe.com/servers/ssa. HPE SSD Smart Path is ideal for read intensive workloads and is included as a base feature on HPE Smart Array P-class controllers.

Server Support

NOTE: For BL460c Gen9 and BL660c Gen9 - P741m is a Type B mezzanine controller that can only be installed on mezzanine slot 2 which requires a second processor for functionality.
