3 Increasing Server Storage and Capacity: Upgrading the SMART-2DH Controller to the Smart Array 4200 Controller 3 Upgrading to the Smart Array 4200 Controller Increases Performance and Capacity Today s storage customers face accelerating storage performance and capacity requirements. With significant investments in their server storage solutions, enterprises want to manage storage resources in such a way that they maximize current storage resources, reduce unnecessary cost, and minimize server downtime. Compaq offers the Smart Array 4200 Controller for enterprises requiring high performance data storage with scalable capacity. The Smart Array 4200 is an ideal solution for upgrading server storage performance and increasing capacity for servers with SMART-2DH Array Controllers. This controller upgrade provides SMART-2DH Array Controller customers the following benefits: 1) higher performance; 2) increased capacity; 3) storage resource protection; and 4) easy upgradability. Increased performance is achieved through the new 64-bit architecture featuring a super-scalar PowerPC processor with a 64-bit data path, 64-bit PCI, and four Ultra2 SCSI channels offering 320Mb/s bandwidth. With four SCSI channels, customers can now attach up to 1.16TB of storage to a single PCI slot. In addition, as customers add storage to the Smart Array 4200 Controller, they will realize an increase in performance from the gain in hard drive spindles and utilization of additional SCSI channels. These benefits will occur without requiring the upgrade of any additional storage resources such as hard drives or storage enclosures. Like other Compaq controllers, the Smart Array 4200 has data compatibility with previous generation Smart Array and SMART-2 controllers. Data compatibility provides customers the means to upgrade an older controller simply, with minimal server downtime. Specifically, Smart Array controllers automatically transfer array configuration information to the new controller and preserve the data layout so that restoring data from secondary storage is not necessary. Features and benefits of the SMART-2DH Controller and the Smart Array 4200 Controller are illustrated in the following comparison table: Table 1. Comparison of the SMART-2DH Array Controller and the Smart Array 4200 Controller SMART-2DH Array Controller Smart Array 4200 Controller Benefits of upgrading to the Smart Array 4200 Controller 64-bit Architecture Higher performance Channels 2 4 Higher capacity, higher bandwidth SCSI ports (external/internal) 1/2 4/2 Higher capacity, higher bandwidth Wide Ultra2 SCSI Support Higher performance Wide-Ultra SCSI Support Compatibility Channel transfer rate 40 MB/s 80 MB/s Faster file transfer rates, higher bandwidth Total Bandwidth 80 MB/s 320 MB/s Faster file transfer rates, higher bandwidth Number of drives supported Higher capacity Read/Write Cache 16MB 64MB Higher performance Battery-backed, removable cache Data protection Maximum IO/s RAID 1 2 3,797 18,950 Higher performance Maximum IO/s Raid 5 2 3,702 18,573 Higher performance 1 To achieve maximum capacities, requires use of StorageWorks Enclosure Model 4214R or 4214T (Maximum: (14) 1 drives per enclosure) 2 See test configuration information on page 5.
4 Increasing Server Storage and Capacity: Upgrading the SMART-2DH Controller to the Smart Array 4200 Controller 4 When to Upgrade to the Smart Array 4200 Controller Compaq recommends an upgrade to the Smart Array 4200 Controller for SMART-2DH Controller customers who have the following needs: Increased performance from Wide-Ultra or Wide Ultra2 hard drives Increased capacity for storage growth The following example illustrates one company s growing storage requirement challenge and the Compaq upgrade recommendation: Business I.T. Problem 1) A medium-to-large business departmental server has outgrown its file and print sharing storage capacity due to more network users and users with greater storage needs. 2) To improve important departmental productivity operations, server storage performance must be improved. 3) This department s IT budget is limited and needs to maximize current resources. Figure 1. Upgrading from the SMART-2DH Controller to the Smart Array 4200 Controller ProLiant 3000 w/ SMART-2DH Controller Application: Workgroup File and Print Sharing (MS Windows NT 4.0, Novell NetWare 4.0) Users: 200 Upgraded Configuration ProLiant 3000 w/ Smart Array 4200 External Storage Network Drives (Workgroup & User Folders) Smart Array 4200 Internal Storage OS & Applications RAID 5 RAID 1 Online Spare SMART-2DH 6 x 4.3GB Wide-Ultra HDD 12.9GB usable capacity 12 x 4.3GB Wide-Ultra HDD 43GB usable capacity Internal Storage 6 x 4.3GB Wide-Ultra HDD Legacy External Storage ProLiant Storage System U2 12 x 4.3GB Wide-Ultra HDD NEW External Storage StorageWorks Enclosure 4214T 14 x 18.2GB Ultra2 HDD Future Storage Up to an additional 258GB Storage Solution The company upgrades from its current server storage array controller, the SMART-2DH, to the new Smart Array 4200 and adds an additional StorageWorks Enclosure 4214T and fourteen 18.2GB Wide Ultra2 hard drives. This leaves one channel open for future growth. This company realized the following benefits: 1) Increased performance with current Wide-Ultra SCSI drives due to higher performance of the Smart Array 4200 up to 4x I/O processing increase 2) Two additional channels to support new storage enclosures and drives up to an additional 509GB of storage 3) Added support for new Ultra2 Enclosure and Ultra2 Hard Drives for maximum performance
5 Increasing Server Storage and Capacity: Upgrading the SMART-2DH Controller to the Smart Array 4200 Controller 5 The Smart Array 4200 Controller Demonstrates Performance Leadership Many factors including the array controller, RAID level, array configuration, disk drives, server processor speed, and data transaction type ( /web server, tape back-up, OLTP, file & print sharing, etc.) influence storage performance. Due to the latest Compaq Array Controller architecture advances, the single most important factor for improving data transaction performance on a server is the array controller. To illustrate this assertion, Compaq engineers conducted several tests demonstrating performance increases to be gained by simply upgrading the SMART-2DH to the Smart Array For testing purposes, both Ultra2 SCSI controllers were installed into a ProLiant 7000 loaded with 6 Wide-Ultra hard drives per channel (12 drives total). The Smart Array 4200 had two additional channels of 6 Ultra2 SCSI drives. The server, application, and RAID level remained the same. The Maximum IO/second results below show the maximum performance potential for each controller by RAID level configuration. The Smart Array 4200 Controller will operate at up to 5.0X higher performance than the SMART-2DH Controller. In a Web Server simulation, the Smart Array 4200 Controller showed a 3.9X performance increase in a simulated environment. In addition, OLTP tests yielded a 4.3X performance result, and System Back-up yielded a 2.1X performance increase. These tests clearly demonstrate a significant performance gain moving from the SMART-2DH to the Smart Array Figure 2.

The Smart-2DH (firmware v.4.10) test was configured with 2 channels and 2 logical drives. The first channel is internal to the server and included 6 x 4.3GB Wide-Ultra SCSI 10K Drives. The second channel is an external ProLiant Storage System UE loaded with 6 x 4.3GB Wide-Ultra SCSI 10K Drives. The Smart Array 4200 (firmware v.1.06) test was configured 4 channels and 4 logical drives. The first channel is internal to the server and included 6 x 4.3GB Wide-Ultra SCSI 10K Drives. The second channel is an external ProLiant Storage System UE loaded with 6 x 4.3GB Wide-Ultra SCSI 10K Drives. The third and fourth channels are attached to an external StorageWorks Enclosure 4200 loaded with 6 x 4.3GB Ultra2 SCSI Drives.
6 Increasing Server Storage and Capacity: Upgrading the SMART-2DH Controller to the Smart Array 4200 Controller 6 Steps for Upgrading to the Smart Array 4200 Controller Conclusion The SMART-2DH Controller can easily be upgraded to the Smart Array 4200 Controller and should take, under normal circumstances, 30 minutes to one hour. 3 For this upgrade, you are not required to back up and restore the server data as many competitive controller solutions may require. The upgrade is simple and requires only minimal server downtime. 4 Easy steps to replacing the SMART-2DH Controller: 1. Upgrade your operating system device driver to the new Smart Array 4200 driver. 2. Upgrade your System ROM to the most current version using the Compaq System ROMPaq. 3. Perform a normal shutdown and turn OFF the server. 4. Replace the SMART-2DH Controller board with the new Smart Array 4200 controller. 5. Attach the SCSI cable to the new Controller in the same port position (internal port 1 or external port 1) where it was attached on the previous controller Reboot the server and data will seamlessly be recognized. Today s storage customers depend on storage systems to accommodate their accelerating performance and capacity requirements. Once again, Compaq provides the solution with the new Smart Array 4200 Controller, a powerful, intelligent, I/O solution for today s most demanding network data storage requirements. Combining an advanced feature set and full-spectrum hardware-based fault management with exceptional performance characteristics, this controller represents Compaq patented technology, which is unmatched in the industry. The Smart Array 4200 Controller continues the Compaq traditional and unique Smart Array advantages that include software consistency, compatibility, and the unique advantage of upgradability from generation to generation. And customers who upgrade to the Smart Array 4200 Controller from the SMART-2DH Array Controller for unbeatable performance, superior capacity, and data availability will find no better solution. 3 Estimated time based on Compaq lab studies which calculated time of upgrade from start to finish. See for Compaq Smart Array TCO study white paper 4 Backup of data is recommended but, not necessary, prior to migrating to another controller 5 Note: It is important to understand the difference between SCSI cable connector layouts for the SMART-2DH Controllers and the Smart Array 4200 Controllers
