2 Standard Features O VERVIEW Smart Array Cluster Storage The is the next generation Ultra3 SCSI storage system designed specifically for 2-node clustering or single node direct attached storage. Designed to reduce the complexity and expense of clustering, the Smart Array Cluster Storage is built upon Smart Array and ProLiant technologies to provide advanced data protection features yet is simple to deploy, configure and manage. Ideal for entry level clustering, the Smart Array Cluster Storage is based on SCSI technology, making it a familiar and powerful clustering solution. As the customer s clustering and storage requirements grow, the Smart Array Cluster Storage may be converted to a SAN array by replacing the controller(s) and I/O module and installing a FC I/O (FC HUB) or FC switch, providing the customer with extended hardware investment protection into the future. The Smart Array Cluster Storage combines the array controller shelf and the drive shelf, which holds up to fourteen 1 Compaq Universal Disk drives in a single 4U rack mount cabinet, that s over 1 terabyte of storage. The Smart Array Cluster Storage can be remotely managed by using management tools such as Compaq Insight Manager 7, and Array Configuration Utility XE. The Smart Array Cluster Storage offers the following key features: High performance Smart Array controller(s) with LCD for system status messages. 4U rack mount chassis combining both the controller and disk shelf. Ultra3 SCSI back panel and drive interconnect. Optional redundant Smart Array controller. Support for AIT and DAT Hot Plug tape drives in the storage enclosure. Support for Compaq Ultra2 and Ultra3 Universal 1 Drives. Support for select ProLiant servers (see Server Compatibility on page 14 or for latest compatibility). Note: This Web site is available in English only. Redundant power supplies and fans are standard. RAID levels 0, 1, 1+0, 5, RAID ADG. Array Configuration Utility (ACU-XE) for online storage management. Compaq Insight Manager 7. S MART A RRAY C LUSTER S TORAGE H IGHLIGHTS High Levels of Performance, Data Protection and Functionality High Performance Data transmission rate of 14,000 IOPS - 2 Node cluster configuration using Smart Array 5i embedded controller in the ProLiant servers Storage Capacity The Smart Array Cluster Storage cabinet supports up to fourteen 1 Universal hard drives, for a maximum of 1TB of storage capacity using Compaq 72.8 GB Wide Ultra3 SCSI Universal 1 hard drives. Data Protection Smart Array Cluster Storage is designed for a high level of data protection. It includes redundant controllers (optional), redundant fans and power supplies (standard); support for Hot Pluggable AIT and DAT tape drives in the storage enclosure, transportable battery backed cache and RAID ADG (standard). Storage Manageability The Smart Array Controllers feature familiar configuration and management tools such as the ACU XE. Online Management Features: Online Capacity Expansion, Online RAID Level Migration, Online Stripe Size Migration, Online Spares (Global), User Selectable Read/Write cache, User Selectable Expand and Rebuild Priority. Choice of Computing Platform -- The Smart Array Cluster Storage is designed and qualified for ProLiant servers. Advanced Data Guarding (RAID ADG) Fault Tolerance This is the highest level of RAID fault tolerance. It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write operations. This level of fault tolerance can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss. Data Migration and DtS Technology The Smart Array architecture provides a quick and easy way to migrate from the Smart Array Cluster Storage to the Modular SAN Array 1000 (MSA1000). In order to convert the Smart Array Cluster Storage to a SAN, simply remove the Smart Array Cluster Controller(s) and replace them with StorageWorks MSA1000 Controller(s) and add FC I/O board or FC Switch (please refer to MSA1000 Quickspecs for additional SAN requirements information). This is referred to as DtS technology (DAS-to-SAN technology). In addition to convertibility to the SAN, the Smart Array Cluster Storage allows the seamless migration of stored data in ProLiant servers protected by Smart Array PCI controllers to a Smart Array Cluster Storage system. Data that is currently stored on 1 Universal disk drives using Compaq Smart Array controllers, as well as data on an RA4100 can easily be migrated to the Smart Array Cluster Storage. Simply remove the drives from the older systems and insert them into the Smart Array Cluster Storage. Existing data and configuration will remain intact. In addition, the RAID set and data will be preserved allowing migration to be completed in minutes, not hours. DA Canada Version 4 June 25,

3 Standard Features S MART A RRAY C LUSTER S TORAGE H IGHLIGHTS (continued) Low Total Cost of Ownership The modular, scalable design of the Smart Array Cluster Storage provides an extremely flexible platform. You can buy what you need today and purchase additional capacity and performance as your data storage needs grow, instead of making a large up-front investment. Additional drives, controllers, cache can be easily added as your needs dictate. Universal Hard Drive Since the Smart Array Cluster Storage supports Universal 1 Ultra2 and Ultra3 drives, your investment in SCSI technology is protected and cost is minimized as you add new drives. Sharing of a common universal drive form factor between your server and storage can significantly reduce needs for hardware and spare inventory, and offer overall reduction in storage management and business costs. Pre-Failure Warranty Drives installed in a Smart Array Cluster Storage and monitored under Compaq Insight Manager are supported by a Pre- Failure (replacement) Warranty. Note: Pre-Failure Warranty allows for the replacement of designated drives in Smart Array Cluster Storage before they actually fail when using Compaq Insight Manger on Compaq servers. Note: Some operating systems may not support all of these features. Integrated Configuration and Management Tools The Smart Array Cluster Storage utilizes a standard, integrated set of management and utility software. These tools consistently lower the cost of ownership by reducing training and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain Compaq storage. S MART A RRAY C LUSTER S TORAGE C OMPONENTS With the following components, your storage capacity and performance can be scaled to new levels: Smart Array Cluster Storage The 4U array houses up to fourteen 1 Universal hot pluggable Ultra2 and/or Ultra3 Compaq drives. Each Smart Array Cluster Storage includes the following standard components: Smart Array Cluster Storage Controller, 2-port Ultra3 SCSI I/O Module, dual hot pluggable fans/power supplies, two power cables, two VHDCI SCSI cables and a crossover Ethernet cable.

Controller Firmware Cloning Enhanced Controller Firmware Auto-Cloning: Allows customer choice of controller firmware cloning when adding new controller with higher firmware version, all done at the point of installation. When installing the redundant Smart Array Cluster Controller, the controller verifies the firmware version currently installed in the primary controller. If the firmware versions of the controllers do not match, then the customer may choose the following courses of action: 1. Upgrade to the highest firmware version 2. Downgrade to the lower firmware version, thus remaining with the current functioning version. Fault Tolerance Several fault tolerant configurations keep data available and servers running while drives are being replaced, include: Advanced Data Guarding (RAID ADG): Allocates the equivalence of 2 parity drives across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write operations. Distributed Data Guarding (RAID 5): Allocates parity data across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write operations. Drive Mirroring (RAID 1 and 1+0 Striped Mirroring): Allocates half of the drive array to data and the other half to mirrored data, providing two copies of every file. DA Canada Version 4 June 25,

5 Standard Features S MART A RRAY C LUSTER S TORAGE C OMPONENTS (continued) Smart Array Cluster Storage Controller Controller Cache Upgrade Cache on the Smart Array Cluster Controller may be upgraded to a maximum of 512 MB. Note: The Smart Array Cluster Controller allows the following cache configurations: 1 x 128 MB; 2 x 128 MB; 1 x 256 MB; 2 x 256 MB Note: When redundant controllers are installed, the cache configurations in both controllers must be identical. Fault Recovery Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure. On-Line Spares: If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an on-line spare and data is reconstructed automatically. One on-line spare can be assigned per array and used across multiple arrays. It is also possible to assign different on-line spares across different arrays. Array Accelerator: Onboard, battery-backed cache memory protects data in the event of a power failure. In the unlikely event of a controller failure, the battery-backed cache will save critical user data for up to three days.
