MSA 1050 1GbE iSCSI with 4-ports per array system SFF or LFF
MSA 1050 10GbE iSCSI with 4-ports per array system, SFF or LFF

Modular Chassis

2U rack height. 12 LFF or 24 SFF drive bays, accommodating SSDs, SAS and SAS MDL Drives

Notes: The MSA 1050 does not support single controller configurations. Single-controller support is provided only when a controller fails over to its partner controller.

Available Drives

The MSA 1050 Storage systems support a wide variety of the MSA 3.5-inch LFF drives, and the MSA 2.5-inch SFF drives.

Solid-State Drives (SSDs) deliver the highest levels of performance and reliability.
Enterprise-class SAS hard disk drives (10K/15K RPM) offer a balance of performance, capacity, and cost while delivering enterprise grade reliability.
Midline SAS hard disk drives (7.2K RPM) are optimized to provide the best ratio of capacity to cost.

Optional Disk Enclosures

Just as the user has a choice of chassis for the array enclosure (LFF or SFF drive bays), they also have a choice of expansion disk enclosures accommodating either drive size. Both the MSA 2050 LFF Disk Enclosure and MSA 2050 SFF Disk Enclosure can be hot-added to an operating array. SFF and LFF Array enclosures and Disk Enclosures can be mixed without limitations.

MSA 2050 LFF Disk Enclosure. This 2U enclosure is designed to support twelve HPE Storage LFF drives and accepts MSA dual-ported 12Gb SSD, Enterprise SAS or SAS Midline (MDL) hard drives. The pre-configured MSA 2050 LFF Disk Enclosure has two I/O modules and supports the MSA 1050 dual controller arrays.

The MSA 2050 LFF Disk Enclosure can be attached to the MSA 1050 LFF or SFF storage models.
Each MSA 2050 LFF Disk Enclosure ships standard with two .5m mini-SAS to mini-SAS cables for connection to the MSA 1050 array expansion port or existing disk enclosure cascade port.
LFF and/or SFF Disk Enclosures can be mixed up to the maximum of 3 total Disk Enclosures.

HPE MSA 2050 SFF Disk Enclosure

This 2U enclosure is designed to support twenty four HPE Storage 2.5-inch SFF drive bays and accepts MSA dual ported 12Gb SSD, Enterprise SAS, or SAS Midline (MDL) hard drives. The pre-configured MSA 2050 SFF Disk Enclosure has two I/O modules and supports the MSA 1050 dual controller arrays.

The MSA 2050 SFF Disk Enclosure can be attached to the MSA 1050 LFF or SFF storage models.
Each MSA 2050 SFF Disk Enclosure ships standard with a two .5m mini-SAS to mini-SAS cables for connection to the MSA 1050 array expansion port or existing disk enclosure cascade port.

LFF and/or SFF Disk Enclosures can be mixed up to the maximum of 3 total Disk Enclosures

Scalability

The MSA 1050 array configurations are designed to allow an installation to begin with smaller capacity and be able to grow gradually as needed. The flexibility of SSD, Enterprise SAS or SAS Midline (MDL) drives 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 168TB SAS MDL per array enclosure, expandable to 672TB SAS MDL with the addition of a maximum of three MSA 2050 LFF Disk Enclosures.
Small Form Factor configurations can scale up to 76.8 TB SAS SSDs per array enclosure, expandable to 307.2 TB SAS with the addition of a maximum of three MSA 2050 SFF Disk Enclosures.
Users may configure an MSA 2050 SFF array enclosure with MSA 2050 LFF Disk Enclosure. This is an excellent option for a configuration that supports high-speed SFF SSDs or fast SFF enterprise-class SAS drives in the array enclosure, combined with economical LFF drives staged for archival purposes, all in the same array.

Disk Group

A Disk Group is a collection of disks in a given redundancy mode (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10). Disk Group RAID level and size can be created based on performance and/or capacity requirements. Multiple Disk Groups can be allocated into a storage pool for use with the Virtual Storage features.

LUNs

The MSA 1050 arrays support 512 volumes and up to 512 snapshots in a system. All of these volumes can be mapped to LUNs. Maximum LUN sizes up to 140TB (128 TiB). Thin Provisioning allows the user to create the LUNs independent of the physical storage.

Storage Pools

Storage pools are comprised of one or more Disk Groups. A volume's data on a given LUN can now span all disk drives in a pool. When capacity is added to a system, users will benefit from the performance of all spindles in that pool.

The MSA 1050 supports large, flexible Volumes with sizes up to 128TiB and facilitates seamless capacity expansion. As pools are expanded data automatically reflows to balance capacity utilization on all drives.

RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10

The MSA 1050 features several important additional RAID levels. RAID 6 offers 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 and allows large Disk Groups to be created with high performance and mirroring for fault tolerance. RAID 5 combines the block striping and parity. Because data and parity are striped across all of the disks, no single disk is a bottleneck. Striping also allows users to reconstruct data in case of a disk failure. RAID 0 (Striping) is supported for Read Cache only.

Configuration and Management Tools

Management access, out-of-band, Storage Management Utility (SMU), CLI.

Interface Types: USB 100/1000 Ethernet.

Protocols Supported SNMP, SMI-S, SSH, SMTP, FTP, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet.

Web Browser support

The MSA 1050 arrays come integrated with web browser and CLI based software for storage and RAID management, setup, configuration, and troubleshooting. The MSA 1050 management supports Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome.

Hot Plug Expansion and Replacement Support

All MSA 1050 models support hot plug expansion and replacement of redundant controllers, enclosures, fans, power supplies, and I/O modules for simple, fast installation and maintenance. Hot add expansion of disk enclosures is also supported.

HPE Server Compatibility

The MSA 1050 supports most HPE ProLiant and BladeSystems servers including

HPE ProLiant DL, ML Servers
HPE c-Class Blade Servers
Compatibility must be confirmed at: http://www.hpe.com/storage/spock

Notes: depends on protocol.

3^rd Party server support

The MSA 1050 supports most multi-vendor industry standard Intel and AMD based (x86) servers. Hewlett Packard Enterprise requires the Third-Party Server to be logged and listed on the Microsoft Windows Server Catalog.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that the Third-Party Server Vendor is an active member of TSANet. Refer to the TSANet website for details: http://www.tsanet.com
Non-HPE servers will generally be supported if the HPE storage stack is used. This includes supported HPE branded HBAs and drivers, and supported FC switches.

http://www.hpe.com/storage/spock

Microsoft Windows Server 2019
Microsoft Windows Server 2016
Microsoft Windows Server 2012
VMware
Red Hat Linux
SuSE SLES Linux
Oracle Linux

Notes: depends on protocol.

Advanced Virtualized Features

Storage on the MSA 1050 is all virtualized including Automated Tiering of Enterprise SAS (Standard Tier) and Midline SAS (Archive Tier), Read Cache and Wide-Striping. Sub-LUN Tiering from SAS Midline to Enterprise SAS drives is also a standard feature.

Notes:

The MSA 1050 supports virtual storage only. Linear storage is not supported on the MSA 1050.

The purchase of an Advanced Virtualization Upgrade license is not required for virtual storage on the MSA 1050. The Advanced Virtualization Upgrade functionality is included in the base MSA 1050 system as a standard feature.

Advanced Data Services Suite

The HPE MSA Advanced Data Services Suite can be purchased as an option on the MSA 1050 Storage systems.

The optional Advanced Data Services Suite includes the following functionality:

Performance Tiering between the SSD tier and the Standard or Archive Tier
512 Snapshots
Remote Snaps

Performance Tiering and Archive Tiering

Disk tiers are comprised of aggregating 1 or more Disk Groups of similar physical disks. The MSA 1050 supports 3 distinct tiers:

A Performance tier with SSDs
A Standard SAS tier with Enterprise SAS HDDs
An Archive tier utilizing Midline SAS HDDs.

The MSA 1050 supports sub-LUN tiering and automated data movement between tiers. The MSA 1050 automated tiering engine moves data between available tiers based on the access characteristics of that data. Frequently accessed "pages" will migrate to the highest available tier delivering maximum I/O´s to the application.

Configurations which have a mixture of both SSDs and HDDs within the same system being used as a capacity Tier (excluding SSD Read Cache), will require the Advanced Data Service Suite LTU. This rule applies to the system level and therefore the license is required regardless of whether the drives are configured for auto-tiering within the same Pool. All-SSD configurations and SSD Read Cache extension do not require a license on the MSA 1050 array.

Snapshot and Volume Copy

All MSA 1050 arrays come standard with 64 snaps.
A 512 Snapshot license is available as an option on the MSA 1050
Snapshots create up to 512 point-in-time copies of data
Volume Copy can create up to 128 point-in-time copies of data
Point-in-time copies become standard volumes when they are complete
Recovery is instant - revert data from any previous Snapshot or Volume Copy
Backup 'snapped' data to disk, virtual tape, or physical tape without a backup window
If telephone support and software updates are desired for bundled software functionalities like 64 snapshots and volume copy software, a combination HW + SW support care pack must be purchased.

Remote Snap

HPE MSA Remote Snap Software is array-based software that provides remote replication on the HPE MSA 1050 array products. MSA 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 on a second independent system. This second system may be co-located with the first system or may be located at a remote site.
HPE 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 copying the data represented by the snapshot via iSCSI or Fibre Channel protocols. Replication via the SAS protocol is not supported. The amount of data transferred is minimized though the use of snapshots whenever possible.
Storage based asynchronous snapshot replication
Support of iSCSI and Fibre Channel interconnects provides flexible options to the application environments.
Snapshot based replication technology means only changed data will be replicated to alternate site
Replication between on MSA 1050 to another MSA is supported (1 to 1 peer connection).
Replication up to four MSA 1050s to a single MSA 2050 is supported. Typical use case is to replicate from "many" branch offices to the home office for the purpose of backing up data from the branches
Advanced scheduler provides several options to IT administrators for business continuance
Flexible architecture allows remote replication between MSA 1050 and MSA 2050 or MSA 2040/1040 arrays using the virtual storage architecture and licensed for Remote Snap. Protects existing investments and enhances business continuity planning objectives.
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.
512 Snapshots and Volume Copy integration provides better efficiencies by combining the management and array technologies to create local copies.
Fast application recovery with minimal or no transaction loss
Creation of disaster tolerant copies of your critical business data
No-single-point-of-failure solution to increase the availability of your data

Notes: One Advanced Data Services Suite License per array is required for replication. For example, if you have two MSA arrays performing replication (from Primary system to Remote System), you will need a total of 2 licenses.

HPE OneView for VMware vCenter

HPE OneView for VMware vCenter is a component within the HPE OneView plug-in for vCenter. It enables vSphere administrators to quickly obtain context-aware information and manage supported HPE storage devices like the MSA in their VMware vSphere environment directly from within vCenter.

vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI)

The vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) is one of the storage application programming interface (API) sets in vSphere. 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 consumes less server CPU, memory resources, and storage port/storage fabric bandwidth. VAAI includes high performance and scalable VM data path primitives.

Storage Hardware Primitives for VAAI

Full Copy or Hardware Assisted Move
Block Zeroing or Hardware Assisted Zeroing
Hardware Assisted Locking or Atomic Test and Set (ATS)

UNMAP reclaims space that is no longer on a thinly provisioned VMFS volume

LDAP Support

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an industry standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an IP network. LDAP provides the ability to authenticate MSA users with a central directory.

Domain or Directory Credentials are not stored on the MSA for authentication - avoids a security issue
Once user groups are configured on all MSAs in your organization, users can be authenticated on any MSA through the Active Directory
Uses an LDAP implementation to authenticate users with a Windows Active Directory
The MSA CLI and SMU will allow the configuration of new LDAP users groups into the MSA security scheme (manage vs monitor users, interface restrictions Web/CLI/FTP)
Ability to authenticate Local or LDAP users

I/O Workload Functionality

A new user interface element called "I/O Workload" has been added to the main screen on MSA's WBI home screen for GL270 or later firmware. The MSA array controllers keep track of a substantial amount of data pertaining to the I/O dynamics at a logical page level (4MB chunks). From this data, it is possible to provide some visibility to what percent (%) of I/O's are being processed by what percent (%) of the overall array's capacity across a 7 day timeline. While some workloads have "transient" data access patterns, many workloads have steady access patterns on small portions of the array's capacity. This produces "hot" pages in the array which remain hot a large amount of the array's uptime. Users would see substantial benefits if these pages could be served from the fastest media in the array (ideally SSDs). As has been described in the MSA's tiering functionality, the MSA array's tiering engine will work to position the hottest pages on the fastest media at any given time.

The new I/O Workload graph will show a line labeled Capacity and a line plot for each selected workload percentage (100%, 80%, or Other% value). Below are two examples of user scenarios where the I/O Workload Graph might be useful and how to utilize the data the graph provides.

New User or SSD Installation

- Once the MSA array is installed and has had workloads running against it for a week's time, the I/O Workload data will give a representation of what Capacity is servicing 100% of I/O and 80% of I/O. Users may select a custom % value if desired. In a new installation or in an installation with no SSD tier installed, the 80% line is a reasonable starting point for an SSD tier. Based on SSD RAID settings, customers can then calculate a good starting point with regard to SSD tier sizing based on that week's workload. While not a hard-fast rule, it is a good starting point. These values should also be compared to the Best Practices "rule of thumb" which suggest that 5-15% of the array's capacity should be SSDs for tiered solutions.

Users with existing SSD tiering or read caching installed and running

- For arrays running with SSDs installed (tiered or read cache), the I/O Workload graph will have a dotted line which shows the installed SSD capacity. The I/O Workload graphs can be checked periodically to see where the 80% I/O line is with regard to the SSD capacity line. While there are no hard and fast rules which indicate good/bad situations, users can use the graph with other system performance tools to better understand specific dynamics of their installation and the normal dynamics of a system in the day-to-day activities for a specific environment.

Interpreting the I/O Workload graphs allow users to strike a balance between the SSD costs versus performance benefits. For example, some customers may be willing to have a couple of days where peak usage is far above the SSD capacity line as it may be acceptable to have slower performance as the system uses HDDs for a larger percentage of the workload I/O. This may be perfectly acceptable for systems sized to optimize $/TB due to budget constraints. Other users may want to optimize the system such that a sizeable percentage of daily I/O have the opportunity to reside on SSD media (sized to 80% or 90%). When combined with other performance monitoring tools, the new I/O Workload function gives users some representation as to how the workloads and the MSA are working together in a user's real-world environment.

HPE Complete -Zerto

HPE MSA Storage users can leverage Zerto Virtual Replication to replicate applications and data from one MSA array to another MSA array. Popular use cases include departmental MSA storage replicated to enterprise storage, enterprise storage replicated into MSA array, or protect MSA workloads into the cloud.

Zerto operates on the hypervisor level and includes orchestration and automation built-in to enable faster recovery of workloads (RTO in minutes) at much lower Recovery Point Objective (RPO of seconds) available through other data protection tools like backup. Zerto is also a workload mobility tool and allow IT to confidently move workloads and data across heterogeneous storage or cloud.

Ordering, configuring and installing Zerto is simple. Zerto is licensed by number of Virtual Machines that are being protected or moved.

For mobility use cases, order the appropriate number of migration licenses needed. For replication use cases, order the appropriate quantity of Zerto Virtual Replication licenses using a combination of the tiered licenses plus the corresponding maintenance part numbers. The license is independent of source and target array size, type or capacity being replicated. See the HPE Complete/Zerto Quickspec for a complete list of part numbers. A corresponding MSA Advanced Data Services LTU is not required for data replication when using Zerto Virtual Replication. An MSA Advanced Data Services LTU would be required if deploying MSA array-based replication.

Zerto installs as a virtual machine under VMware or Hyper-V or in the Cloud as a VM in AWS and Azure in minutes Zerto does not install any components in the guest operating system and does not depend on any specific configuration of the storage or use MSA array or VMware snapshots to replicate and recover applications.

Zerto virtual replication is available on HPE Catalog via HPE Complete program.

MSA Health Check Tool

MSA Health Check is a cloud-based tool that provides users insight into the general health of their MSA array. The tool uses a powerful rules-based analytics engine which can predict failures before they happen. The MSA Health Check tool performs a full sweep of analytics and checking thousands of data points from sensors inside the MSA array. The analytics engine will pick up common failure signatures and check against MSA best practices producing a simple, easy to digest PDF report with status and suggested courses of action to correct anything found in the scan. The tool is free of charge to HPE MSA customers. The MSA Health Check tool is supported across all current MSA 1050/2050/2052 arrays as well as the prior two generations of arrays (MSA P2000 G3 and MSA 1040/2040/2042). The tool is available immediately at:

Performance

The performance figures provided here are for reference as many variables exist between array configurations, workloads, hard drive types, disk group setup parameters and host system setup. Hewlett Packard Enterprise has traditionally published a set of end-to-end MSA performance specifications that are fed into HPE Sizer tools which are based on conservative real-world configurations. For consistency, the MSA performance numbers have been documented in both Benchmark and End-to-End Performance tables. These numbers are subject to change without notice.

Notes: End-to-End performance

¹Performance results were generated using internal HPE test tools. 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 using VE270 firmware.

² Dual Controller configuration, (4) SSDs, RAID: 1, two drives per Disk Group; one Disk Group per pool, 2 volumes per pool, block size: 8k, average latency under 5ms, Windows Server 2016 host, 8Gb FC connect to array

³ Dual Controller configuration, (36) 15k HDD, RAID: 5, nine drives per Disk Group, 2 Disk Groups per pool, 2 volumes per pool, block size: 256k, average latency under 30ms, Windows Server 2016 host, 8Gb FC connect to array

⁴ Sequential performance numbers were generated using segmented sequential workloads. For segmented sequential workloads with a queue depth greater than 1, each sequential stream is targeted to operate on a separate LBA range. Other types of sequential workloads that target specific LBA ranges may achieve higher results.

Notes:

- 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. These numbers reflect a full array configuration with the maximum number of front-end ports and controllers. The test results shown for the HPE MSA 1050 are designed to give a conservative reference point for comparisons.

o ¹Sequential tests (MB/s) are based on 256K block sizes and random tests (IOPS) are based on 8K block sizes run against the storage. For sequential workloads with a queue depth greater than 1, each sequential stream is targeted to operate on a separate LBA range. Other types of sequential workloads that target specific LBA ranges may achieve higher results.

o ²Fibre Channel results were measured using 8 Gb FC Host Bus Adapters. SAS results were measured using 6 Gb SAS Host Bus Adapters. 10 GbE iSCSI results were measured using 10GbE iSCSI Host Bus Adapters. 1 GbE iSCSI results were measured using 1GbE network interface controllers (NICs).
