The 4U cabinet houses up to fourteen 1" Universal hot pluggable Ultra2, Ultra3, and/or Ultra320 drives.
Each MSA1000 includes the following standard components: (1) MSA1000 Controller, (1) MSA Fibre
Channel I/O Module with a single SFP, dual hot pluggable fans/power supplies and power cables,
documentation and a support software CD.
The modular design of the MSA1000 makes it possible to add redundant controllers, redundant single
port Fibre Channel I/O Modules, 3-port hub, or embedded fabric switch and storage expansion
enclosures. Additional storage enclosures may be added without power cycling the MSA1000.

MSA1000 Controller The MSA1000 Controller is an integrated RAID controller with an LCD/LED status display and 256 MB
read/write battery-backed cache (expandable to 512 MB per controller). One MSA1000 Controller is
included with the MSA1000; a redundant MSA1000 Controller is an option. Purchase of Secure Path
software or use of Microsoft's MPIO or the QLogic Failover Solution for Linux is a requirement if a
second controller is chosen.

Selective Storage Presentation
Selective Storage PresentationSelective Storage Presentation
Selective Storage Presentation : allows multiple hosts to access a single
MSA1000 storage system. Host access can be defined all the way
down to a logical volume level.
Online RAID Level Migration

Online RAID Level Migration : allows for online post-configuration
change to RAID level without destroying data or volume information.
Online Capacity Expansion

Online Capacity Expansion : : lets you add storage to an operational
MSA1000-reducing expensive server downtime.
Global Online Spare

Global Online Spare : reduces the risk of data loss by facilitating
automatic rebuilds after a drive failure.
Fault Tolerance
Fault ToleranceFault Tolerance
Fault Tolerance Several fault tolerant configurations which keep data available and servers
running while drives are being replaced are supported including:
RAID 6 with Advanced Data Guarding: Allocates the equivalent of two
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, (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.
