The Smart Array Advantage

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise innovative design and integration work within 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.

Data Compatibility. Data Compatibility with all Serial Smart Array controllers allows simple and easy upgrades any time needs for higher performance, capacity, and availability increase.

Consistent Configuration and Management Tools. All Smart Array products utilize a standard set of management and utility software. These tools minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reducing training requirements and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain HPE server storage.

Pre-Failure Warranty. Pre-Failure Warranty means Systems 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.

Key Features

• Storage interface (SAS/SATA)
  • Eight (8) 6Gb/s SAS physical links distributed equally across 4 external 2x ports to support up to 4 6Gb/s SAS Switches
  • 6Gb/s SAS technology delivers up to 600 MB/s theoretical bandwidth per physical link.
  • 6Gb/s SATA technology delivers up to 600 MB/s theoretical bandwidth per physical link for directly attached SATA drives.
  • Mix-and-match SAS and SATA drives to the same controller. Deploy drive technology as needed to fit the computing environment.
  • Support for SAS tape drives, SAS tape autoloaders and SAS tape libraries.
• RAID controller features
  • 512 MB or 2 GiBytes cache
  • RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60, 1 ADM, 10 ADM
    NOTE: RAID for Shared Storage is controlled by the controller of the array.
  • Recovery ROM protects against ROM corruption.
• Smart Array PCIe mezzanine card that connects to a HPE 6Gb/s SAS BL Switch through the c-Class enclosure high-speed mid-plane supporting shared SAS storage.
• 2 GiBytes Flash Backed Write Cache (FBWC) provides read ahead caching and write back caching with indefinite write cache data retention in the case of unexpected power outage.
• Software consistency on most current shipping Smart Array family products: HPE SmartStorage Administrator, HPE Systems Insight Manager, and HPE Intelligent Provisioning. The HPE Smart Storage Administrator configures and manages a host of Smart Array controllers and other storage devices using a single interface. It replaces the HPE Array Configuration Utility (ACU) with an updated design and configuration enhancements.
• The HPE SSD Smart Path feature included in the Smart Array software stack improves SSD read performance by bypassing the Smart Array firmware for the optimal performance path to the SSD.
• The HPE SmartCache licensed feature is a controller-based read caching solution in a DAS environment that caches the most frequently accessed data ("hot" data) onto lower latency SSDs to dynamically accelerate application workloads. HPE Smart Cache license is not required on P721m with 2GiBytes FBWC. HPE Smart Cache requires a minimum of 1 GiByte FBWC.

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 HPE 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 Tolerance RAID Descriptions

Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced; two fault tolerance configurations are supported for the internal connections including:

• RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding): Supported with a minimum of 4 drives. This allocates two sets of parity data across drives. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a double drive failure without downtime or data loss.
• RAID 60: Supported with a minimum of 8 drives. This volume is composed of two or more RAID 6 sub-volumes (parity groups) where data is striped across each parity group as if it were a single physical drive. Each RAID 6 parity group can sustain up to two drive failures without incurring data loss.
• 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.
• RAID 50: Supported with a minimum of 6 drives. This volume is composed of two or more RAID 5 sub-volumes (parity groups) where data is striped across each parity group as if it were a single physical drive. Each RAID 5 parity group can sustain a single drive failure without incurring data loss.
• RAID 1 & 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.
• RAID 1 ADM & 10 ADM (Advanced Data Mirroring): Supported with a minimum of 3 drives. RAID 1 ADM creates redundant copies of the data using 3 drives. RAID 10 ADM stripes data across two or more sets of RAID 1 ADM volumes. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a double drive failure within a RAID 1 ADM volume without downtime or data loss.

Fault Recovery

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

• Recovery ROM: This feature provides unique redundancy that protects from a ROM image corruption. A new version of firmware can be flashed to the ROM while the controller maintains the last known working version of firmware. If the firmware becomes corrupt, the controller will revert back to the previous version of firmware and continue operating. This reduces the risk of flashing firmware to the controller.
• DRAM ECC corrects against single bit data and address corruption.

Ease of Use

Consistency and upgradeability on most shipping HPE Smart Array products make them unique in the industry:

• GUI based configuration, management and diagnostic software tools
• Common data format between generations of products

HPE SmartCache

HPE SmartCache is a controller-based read 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 Gen8 supported HDD for bulk storage and any HPE ProLiant Gen8 supported SSD as an accelerator.

HPE SmartCache is deployed and managed using the HPE SmartStorage Administrator (HPE SSA).

The basic HPE SmartCache architecture is comprised of the following three elements:

• Bulk storage: The first element is the bulk storage device, which is any supported HDD attached to the HPE Smart Array controller.
• Accelerator: The second element, the accelerator, is a faster/lower latency SSD device that caches data.
• Metadata: The final element is metadata, information held in a relatively small storage area that maps the location of information residing on the accelerator and bulk storage devices.

For more information please visit http://www.hp.com/go/smartcache

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. It is configurable through the HPE SmartStorage Administrator providing seamless management with the Smart Array architecture. HPE SSD Smart Path is ideal for read intensive workloads and is included as a base feature on HPE Smart Array P-series controllers. The following operating systems are supported by the HPE SSD Smart Path feature:

• Microsoft Windows 2008 Server
• Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Server
• Microsoft Windows 2012 Server
