Fault Recovery
Fault RecoveryFault Recovery
Fault Recovery Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from
drive failure:
Online Spares: If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an online spare
and data is reconstructed automatically. Multiple online spares can be
assigned per array and used across multiple arrays. It is also possible
to assign different online 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.

Provides a single 2 Gb Fibre Channel connection per controller from the host side into the MSA1000.
The MSA Fibre Channel I/O Module includes one 2 Gb, Short Wave, Small-Form-Factor-pluggable
Transceiver (SFP). A second MSA Fibre Channel I/O Module can be installed for redundancy when a
redundant controller is used.
The single I/O module can be used in a direct connect configuration (no switch or hub) in Windows,
Linux, NetWare, SCO and HP-UX only.

The optional MSA SAN Switch 2/8 offers low price per port and full scalability, doing so while taking zero
rack space, even in a redundant configuration. This second generation integrated switch option offers the
customer more ports than our previous offering and is a full member of the HP SAN Switch family,
assuring interoperability from the smallest to the largest SAN configuration. The HP StorageWorks MSA
SAN Switch 2/8 can be used by the true entry-level customer looking for a very inexpensive switch based
on cost per port. This same switch can be attractive to the larger customer who must have the
interoperability with their other external B-Series SAN switch products from HP and especially appreciates
the rack space saving characteristics.
(The MSA SAN Switch 2/8 replaced the obsolete MSA Fabric Switch 6 option.)
