The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1000 (MSA1000) is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel storage system
designed for the entry-level to mid-range Storage Area Network (SAN). Designed to reduce the
complexity, expense and risk of SAN deployment, the MSA1000 is a scaleable, high performance
storage system built with investment protection in mind. The modular design of the MSA1000 allows the
user to easily add storage capacity as needed. With the addition of two HP StorageWorks MSA30 disk
enclosures with space for a total of forty-two enterprise-class drives, maximum storage capacity is 12TB.
All necessary configuration & management programs are included and there are no unexpected charges
for extra licenses as your capacity needs grow or as you attach more servers.
The MSA1000 is a member of the HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array family, delivering industry-
leading technology to meet today's demanding and growing storage needs. These storage solutions offer
the best price performance features for direct attach environments, small clusters, and entry-level and
mid-range SAN environments. Each solution is designed to maximize transfer rates and reduce
management costs, while driving rapid return on investment.
Heterogeneous support is standard for Microsoft Windows® Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit) Windows
2000, Windows NT®, NetWare and Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) operating systems. In addition this
firmware provides separate support for Alpha servers in a Tru64 UNIX® or OpenVMS environment.
Information about the support for these two operating systems is included in a separate QuickSpec for
the MSA1000 attached to Alpha-based servers. HP also expanded the MSA1000's operating system
coverage with the addition of basic HP-UX and SCO support in limited, homogeneous configurations.

What's New
New HP StorageWorks MSA1000 SAN Starter High Availability Kit, a companion piece to the MSA SAN Starter Kit, providing
the necessary hardware pieces to insure redundancy. It replaces the two older HA Kits that included StorageWorks Secure Path
software. The new kit allows the customer to pick their own path-failover solution which can be MPIO for Windows, QLogic
Failover for Linux, or HP Secure Path. This option kit gives you a second array controller, a second switch, two more of the
FCA2214 HBAs and cabling. It's an easy and cost efficient option that brings the user the redundancy protection many users
desire.
