Description
Performance and Scalability
The HP Modular Smart Array P2000 G3 SAS Dual Controller SFF Array System is a high-performance and scalable storage solution that is designed for demanding data center environments. It features a dual-controller architecture, which provides high availability and fault tolerance, ensuring that your data is always available and protected in the event of a controller failure.
The P2000 G3 SAS Array System supports up to 24 small form factor (SFF) hard drives, allowing for a large amount of storage capacity in a compact form factor. Additionally, the system supports both SAS and SATA hard drives, giving you the flexibility to choose the type of drives that best meet your performance and cost requirements.
With its dual-controller architecture and support for up to 24 hard drives, the P2000 G3 SAS Array System is capable of delivering high performance and scalability. The system features advanced caching algorithms and supports multiple data transfer protocols, including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and SAS, allowing you to easily connect it to a wide range of servers and storage systems.
In terms of scalability, the P2000 G3 SAS Array System supports multiple expansion options, including the ability to add additional hard drives to increase storage capacity and the ability to add additional controllers to increase performance and availability. This makes the system ideal for organizations that need to grow their storage infrastructure as their data requirements increase.
Easy installation and Configuration
The AW594B HP Modular Smart Array P2000 G3 SAS Dual Controller SFF Array System is a 24-bay hard drive array that does not come with any hard drives included. Installing and configuring the array system is relatively easy. Here’s how:
- Rack Mount the Array System: Mount the array system in a 19-inch rack using the provided rack mount kit.
- Connect the Power Cables: Connect the power cables to the array system and to a power source.
- Connect the SAS Cables: Connect the SAS cables from the array system to the servers or storage systems that will be accessing the array.
- Turn On the Array System: Turn on the array system by pressing the power button.
- Configure the Array System: Access the HP P2000 MSA Array Configuration Utility (ACU) to configure the array system. This can be done through a web browser or by using the HP Systems Manager software.
- Create Volumes: In the ACU, create volumes for the data that will be stored on the array. This will involve defining the size of the volumes and choosing a RAID level to protect against data loss.
- Add Hard Drives: Install hard drives into the array system by opening the front door and inserting the drives into the drive bays. The drives will automatically be detected and incorporated into the volumes created in step 6.
- Assign LUNs: Assign LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) to the servers or storage systems that will be accessing the array. This will allow them to access the data stored on the array.
