Configuring HP StorageWorks MSA2000 storage systems
This section provides information about configuring Hewlett
Packard (HP) 2000 family Modular Smart Array (MSA2000) systems for
attachment to a SAN Volume Controller.
HP MSA2000 user interfaces
You can configure an MSA2000 system through the Storage
Management Utility (SMU), which is a Web server on each controller,
or with the command-line interface (CLI).
Concurrent maintenance on MSA2000 systems
Concurrent maintenance is the capability to perform I/O
operations while you simultaneously perform maintenance operations
on the MSA2000 system.
Switch zoning for MSA2000 storage systems
Switch zoning configurations for the MSA2000 system include
considerations for fabric zoning, target port sharing, host splitting,
and controller splitting.
Configuration settings for MSA2000 systems
The MSA2000 System Storage® Management Utility (SMU) provides configuration settings
and options that can be used with SAN Volume Controller clusters.
Quorum disks on MSA2000 systems
The SAN Volume Controller cluster
requires managed disks (MDisks) that are quorum disks for system
metadata storage. The MSA2000 system failover method
is not compatible with the requirements for these disks. Quorum disks
must be on another separate and suitable managed controller.
Copy functions for MSA2000 systems
The MSA2000 system provides optional copy and replicate
features, called clone and snapshot. However, these functions must not be used with SAN Volume Controller.
