HPE Dynamic Smart Array Controllers: технические характеристики и документация

HPE Dynamic Smart Array Controllers

HPE Dynamic Smart Array is a RAID solution combining a storage host bus adapter (HBA) and proprietary software components. Eliminating most of the hardware RAID controller components and relocating advanced RAID algorithms from a hardware-based controller into device driver software lowers the total solution cost, while still maintaining comparable RAID protection and full compatibility with Smart Array disk format, configuration utilities, and management/monitoring software.

The Dynamic Smart Array controllers share the same easy and consistent UI with standup Smart Array controllers, thus making storage management and deployment easier for IT workers.

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise innovative design and integration work of the Smart Array family of products creates customer value that is unmatched in the industry. Use of Smart Array products across multiple applications results in a much lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than any other server storage RAID product. The HPE Smart Array family brings an unparalleled return on investment through:

Data Compatibility among all models of Smart Array controllers allows simple and easy upgrades any time needs for higher performance, capacity, and availability increase. Even successive generations of Smart Array controllers understand the data format of other Smart Array Controllers.

Built on embedded controller. HPE Dynamic Smart Array controllers provide critical data protection at a lower cost to customers by building the RAID algorithms into device driver software.

Performance and data protection innovation. Hewlett Packard Enterprise has extended the support of SATA Solid State Disks into the Dynamic Smart Array B120i Controller and support of SAS and SATA Solid State Disks into the Dynamic Smart Array B320i for enhanced performance.

SmartDrive Carrier form factor is for use across HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers. With compatibility across many enterprise platforms, you are free to deploy and re-deploy these drives to quickly deliver increased storage capacity, migrate data between systems, and easily manage spare drives.

Standard configuration and management across all controllers. The Dynamic Smart Array controllers share the same easy and consistent UI with Smart Array controllers, thus making storage management and deployment easier for IT workers.

Pre-Failure Warranty means HPE Insight Manager not only reports when a drive is going to fail but allows replacement of failing drives prior to actual failure. For complete details, consult the HPE Support Center or refer to your HPE Server documentation.

NOTE: SAS supported with optional SAS License key.

Performance

HPE's High Performance Architecture sets new boundaries of industry performance expectations!

B120i

• Up to 6Gb/s SATA drive support (600MB/s bandwidth per physical link)
• x2 6Gb/s SATA physical links (compatible with 3Gb/s SATA )
  NOTE: Two SATA ports will be running at 6Gb/s and reaming ports will be running at 3Gb/s.
• 512 MB 40-bit wide DDR3-800MHz flash backed write cache
• write back caching with FBW

B320i

• Up to 6Gb/s SATA or SAS drive support
  (600MB/s bandwidth per physical link)
• x8 6Gb/s SATA or SAS physical links
  (compatible with 3Gb/s SATA )
• 512 MB 40-bit wide DDR3-800MHz flash backed write cache
• write back caching with FBWC

Capacity

Given the increasing need for high performance and rapid capacity expansion, the HPE Dynamic Smart Array Controllers offer:

• Up to 32TB of total internal storage with 8 x 4TB LFF SATA hard drives
• Up to 9.6TB of total internal storage 8x 1.2TB SFF SAS hard drives (B320i with SAS license)

Availability

Provides increased server uptime by providing advanced storage functionality:

• Online drive firmware upgrade
• Pre-Failure Warranty

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 and Reporting Technology first developed at HPE detects possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the hard drive before a real 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 Tolerance

Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced; several fault tolerance configurations are supported including:

• RAID 5 (Distributed Data Guarding): Supported with a minimum of 3 drives. This allocates one set of parity data across drives. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a single drive failure without downtime or data loss.
  • RAID5 is available on the B120i/B320i with 512MB FBWC
• RAID 1, 1+0, 10 (Drive Mirroring): Supported with a minimum of 2 drives. This allocates half of the drive array to the data and the other half to the mirrored data, providing two copies of the data.

Fault Recovery

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

• DRAM ECC detects and corrects data bit errors.
• Flash Backed Write Cache upgrade provides indefinite data retention.

Ease of Use

Consistency and Upgradeability make the Smart Array family unique in the industry:

• GUI based configuration, management and diagnostic software tools
• Common data format between generations of products
• Data migration from B-series to P-series controllers

Warranty

The warranty for this device is based on the server warranty as it is embedded and part of the server.

Pre-Failure Warranty: Drives attached to the Smart Array Controller and monitored under Insight Manager are supported by a Pre-Failure (replacement) Warranty. For complete details, consult the HPE Support Center or refer to your HPE Server Documentation.

Warranty Upgrade Options

• Response - Upgrade on-site response from next business day to same day 4 hours
• Coverage - Extend hours of coverage from 9 hours x 5 days to 24 hours x 7 days
• Duration - Select duration of coverage for a period of 1, 3, or 5 years
