  • All models feature a wide variety of drives: High-performance SSD drives, enterprise-class SAS, and SAS Midline drives.
  • The MSA 1050 will support a maximum of 3 expansion disk enclosures (either LFF and/or SFF). Add-on enclosures can either be HPE MSA 2050 LFF Disk Enclosure or HPE MSA 2050 SFF Disk Enclosure.
  • The MSA 1050 can grow incrementally to a maximum of 48 LFF, 96 SFF drives, or a combination of SFF and LFF drives.
  • Virtual Storage Disks Groups can be spanned across multiple enclosures.
  • Virtual Storage RAID levels supported: 1, 5, 6, 10.
  • Maximum hard drive counts vary by RAID levels: 2 drive max for RAID level 1; max of 16 drives for RAID levels 5, 6, and 10.
  • Multiple Disk Groups can be aggregated into a single storage pool.
  • Storage pools allow data on a given LUN to span across all drives in a pool. When capacity is added to a system, the user is also getting a performance benefit of the additional spindles.
  • The maximum LUN size is 140TB (128TiB)
  • Snapshot enhancements for virtual storage, including performance improvements, hierarchical snapshots, and simplified resource management. Administrators can monitor and optionally control snapshot space usage.
  • Prioritize data by assigning appropriate affinity level (Performance, No Affinity or Archive)
  • Customers can configure 512 TiB capacity per virtual pool by enabling large pool support.
  • Non-disruptive on-line controller code upgrade.  Requires Multi-pathing software.
  • Upgradable by design. Owners of an MSA 1040 array are able to do data-in-place upgrades to the new MSA 1050 array. This unique ability protects the earlier investments in drives, and JBODs.
  • Certain limitations are applicable.  Please review the Upgrading to the HPE MSA 1050/2050/2052 Whitepaper before upgrading your MSA 1040, 2040 or 2042 systems.

NOTE:  The MSA 1050 does not support single controller configurationsSingle-controller support is provided only when a controller fails over to its partner controller

 

 

Drives available

The MSA 1050 Storage systems support both the MSA 3.5-inch LFF drives, and the MSA 2.5-inch SFF drives.

· Solid State Drives (SSDs) deliver exceptional performance for applications requiring high random read IOPs performance.

· Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise-class drives are designed for high demand, 24x7 usage.

· SAS Midline (MDL) drives are usually reserved for archival of data as they are relatively inexpensive and are available in very large capacities.

 

 

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.

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 144TB SAS MDL per array enclosure, expandable to 576TB 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 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.

 

 

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.

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.

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

NOTE: 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:

1. A Performance tier with SSDs

2. A Standard SAS tier with Enterprise SAS HDDs 

3. 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.

NOTE: 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.

 

Product Features

 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

 

 

HPE OneView for VMware vCenter

HPE OneView for VMware vCenter is a component within the HPE OneView 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 MSA 1050 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.

HPE OneView for VMware vCenter supports mixed array environments including MSA 1050/2050/2052, MSA 1040/2040/2042 and other HPE Storage systems.

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 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.

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/Os 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 arrays 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 MSAs tiering functionality, the MSA arrays 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.

1)  New User or SSD Installation

a. 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 weeks 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.

2) Users with existing SSD tiering or read caching installed and running

a. 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.
