The
HP P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI MSA System is a high-performance storage solution
combining outstanding performance with high reliability, availability,
flexibility, and manageability. HPE's MSA P2000 Family of storage arrays
features P2000 G3 arrays with the latest 8 GB Fibre Channel, 6 GB SAS, 10GbE
iSCSI connected models, and an iSCSI model with four 1 GB iSCSI ports per
controller.
The
MSA P2000 G3 arrays are 2U storage area network (SAN) or direct connect
solutions (OS and protocol dependent) offering a choice of five controllers - two
FC, one SAS, one 10GbE iSCSI and the newest model features a four port 1 GB
iSCSI. The first Fibre Channel controller is a high-performance, 8 GB dual port
model. The second offering is a unique dual-purpose Combo controller with two 8
GB Fibre Channel ports with the addition of two 1GbE iSCSI ports. The third
controller choice is 6Gb SAS with four ports per controller. There is also the
addition of a two port 10 GB iSCSI, while the latest controller introduction
features four 1 GB iSCSI ports per controller. Whatever the situation calls
for, the P2000 G3 line-up has the right solution. 512 LUNs with LUN sizes
greater than 40TB depending on the RAID configuration chosen. The maximum LUN
size is 64TB
•
Any number or combination of LUNs can be shared among a maximum of 64 host
ports as long as the total adds up to no more than 512 LUNs per P2000 G3 system
(single or dual controller configuration).
• A maximum of eight (8) enclosures (including
the array enclosure) OR one hundred forty-nine (149) drives are allowed in the
array configuration.
•
In order to maximize performance, do not mix 6Gb and 3Gb disk drives in the
same enclosures.
Connecting the P2000 G3
MSA System to remote management hosts:
1.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet management port on each P2000 G3 MSA
controller.
2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet
cable to a network that the management host can access.
Connecting drive
enclosures to the P2000 G3 MSA System:
The
P2000 G3 MSA System supports four drive enclosures:
•
HP StorageWorks P2000 6Gb 3.5” 12–drive enclosure
•
HP StorageWorks D2700 6Gb drive enclosure
•
HP StorageWorks MSA2000 3Gb 3.5” 12–drive enclosure
• HP StorageWorks MSA70 3Gb drive enclosure
P2000
G3 MSA System controller enclosures support both 3Gbps and 6Gbps internal disk
drive and expander link speeds. Mixing 3Gbps drive enclosures with 6Gbps drive
enclosures is supported.
Steps
to follow when
Connecting drive enclosures to the P2000 G3 MSA System:
•
Use only supported SAS 4x cables.
• Mini-SAS to mini-SAS 0.5m cables are
provided with the P2000 6Gb 3.5” 12–drive enclosure and D2700 6Gb drive
enclosure (one per controller).
• If longer cables are needed than those
supplied with enclosure, they must be purchased separately. See the MSA Quick
Specs for details.
•
The maximum length cable allowed to connect enclosures in any configuration is
2m.
• A maximum of eight (8) enclosures (including
the array enclosure) OR one hundred forty-nine (149) drives are allowed in the
array configuration.
The
MSA P2000 G3 SAS is the follow-on product to the MSA2000sa G2, adding the
latest 6 GB SAS technology to the four host ports per controller. The P2000 G3
SAS array is designed for directly attaching up to four dual-path or eight
single path rack servers. HPE's MSA P2000 Family of storage arrays features
P2000 G3 arrays with the latest 8 GB Fibre Channel, 6 GB SAS, 10GbE iSCSI
connected models, and an iSCSI model with four 1 GB iSCSI ports per controller.
The arrays are designed for entry-level customers and feature the latest in
functionality and host-connect technology while offering excellent
price/performance. They are ideal for companies with small budgets or limited
IT expertise, and also larger companies with departmental or remote
requirements. Each solution is designed to be easy to deploy, to be secure,
