Configuring HP StorageWorks MSA2000 storage systems
To use this external storage, you must configure Hewlett
Packard (HP) 2000 family Modular Smart Array (MSA2000) systems for
attachment to a Lenovo Storage V7000.
HP MSA2000 user interfaces You can configure an MSA2000 system through the Storage Management Utility (SMU), which is a web server on each controller, or with the command-line interface (CLI).
Concurrent maintenance on MSA2000 systems
Concurrent maintenance is the capability to complete I/O operations while you simultaneously complete maintenance operations on the MSA2000 system.
Switch zoning for MSA2000 storage systems
Switch zoning configurations for the MSA2000 system include considerations for fabric zoning, target port sharing, host splitting, and controller splitting.
Configuration settings for MSA2000 systems The MSA2000 System Storage Management Utility (SMU) provides configuration settings and options that can be used with Lenovo Storage V7000clustered systems.
Quorum disks on MSA2000 systems The Lenovo Storage V7000clustered system requires managed disks (MDisks) that are quorum disks for system metadata storage. The MSA2000 system failover method is not compatible with the requirements for these disks. Quorum disks must be on another separate and suitable managed controller.
Copy functions for MSA2000 systems
The MSA2000 system provides optional copy and replicate features, called clone and snapshot. However, these functions must not be used with Lenovo Storage V7000.
