The HP 487204-B21 Integrity Smart Array P812 is a high-performance PCI-E x8 SAS RAID controller that is designed to provide reliable data storage for servers. This controller is specifically designed for the HP Integrity server platform, but it can also be used with other servers that support PCI-E expansion cards. In this article, we will discuss the features and specifications of this controller in detail.
Features and SpecificationsThe HP 487204-B21 Integrity Smart Array P812 is a 24-port SAS RAID controller that supports both SAS and SATA hard drives. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, providing users with a wide range of options for data protection and redundancy. This controller features a 1GB flash-backed write cache (FBWC) that helps to ensure data integrity and minimize the risk of data loss in the event of a power outage or system failure.
The P812 also supports online RAID level migration, which allows users to upgrade the RAID level without having to back up and restore their data. Additionally, this controller supports hot-plug hard drive replacement, which means that users can replace failed drives without having to shut down the server.
The P812 is designed to work with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware. It supports up to 192 SAS or SATA drives, providing users with plenty of storage capacity for their data-intensive applications. This controller also supports up to 64 logical volumes, giving users the ability to create multiple virtual drives on a single physical array.
Hardware and CompatibilityThe HP 487204-B21 Integrity Smart Array P812 is a PCI-E x8 expansion card that is designed to be installed in a server's PCI-E slot. It is compatible with HP Integrity servers running HP-UX 11i v3, as well as other servers that support PCI-E expansion cards. This controller requires a minimum of 512MB of memory and a 1.2GHz processor or faster.
The P812 features a low-profile design, which allows it to be installed in servers with limited space. It also includes two internal mini-SAS connectors and four external mini-SAS connectors, providing users with a wide range of connectivity options.
Management and MonitoringThe HP 487204-B21 Integrity Smart Array P812 includes a web-based management interface that allows users to configure and monitor the controller from a remote location. This interface provides users with detailed information about the status of the controller, including drive health, temperature, and performance.
This controller also supports HP's Smart Array Advanced Pack (SAAP), which provides users with additional features and functionality. SAAP includes features such as online capacity expansion, which allows users to add additional hard drives to an existing array without having to back up and restore their data.
In Summary, the HP 487204-B21 Integrity Smart Array P812 is a high-performance SAS RAID controller that is designed to provide reliable data storage for servers. Its 24-port SAS interface, support for a wide range of RAID levels, and 1GB FBWC make it an ideal choice for data-intensive applications. Its compatibility with a wide range of operating systems and support for online RAID level migration and hot-plug hard drive replacement make it a flexible and easy-to-use solution for server administrators. If you are looking for a reliable and high-performance SAS RAID controller for your server, the HP 487204-B21 Integrity Smart Array P812 is definitely worth considering.
