1). For MSA 1040 8Gb FC and MSA 1040 10GbE iSCSI results, 300 GB 15K SAS drives were used in a dual
controller configuration of 8 vdisks consisting of twelve disks per vdisk, 3.3 TB volumes, and 2 volumes per
host. 4 hosts directly attached to the HP MSA 1040 8Gb FC and MSA 1040 10GbE iSCSI arrays were used in
this test configuration (results cannot be expected with a single host).
2). For the MSA 1040 1GbE iSCSI results, 146GB 15K SAS drives were used in a dual controller configuration
of 8 vdisks consisting of twelve disks per vdisk, 3.3 TB volumes, and 2 volumes per host. 4 hosts directly
attached to the HP MSA 1040 1GbE iSCSI array were used in this test configuration (results cannot be
expected with a single host).
NOTE: MSA 1040 tests with 1GbE iSCSI used 4 hosts directly attached to the HP MSA 1040 array.
- Sequential tests results were achieved with 256K block sizes and random tests were based on 8K block
sizes.
NOTE: For sequential workloads with a queue depth greater than 1, each sequential stream is targeted to
operate on a separate LBA range. Other types of sequential workloads that target specific LBA ranges may
achieve higher results.
- All Fibre Channel results were measured using 16Gb FC Host Bus Adapters running at 8Gb. All 10GbE iSCSI
results were measured using 10Gb iSCSI Host Bus Adapters. All 1GbE iSCSI results were measured using 1Gb
network interface controllers (NICs).
NOTE: Number and type of applications, drive type and number of drives, operating system used, and the
number of hosts will affect overall performance. This table is provided strictly as a test-lab comparison.
NOTE: These numbers reflect a full array configuration with the maximum number of front-end ports, disks,
and controllers. The test results shown for the HP MSA 1040 are designed to give a conservative reference
point for comparisons.
Configuration and
Management Tools
HP Storage Management Utility (SMU). Management access, out-of-band: WEB GUI, CLI. Interface Types:
USB, 100/1000 Ethernet. Protocols Supported SNMP, SMI-S, SSL, SSH, SMTP, FTP, HTTP, Telnet
Hot Plug Expansion and
Replacement Support
All MSA 1040 models support hot plug expansion and replacement of redundant controllers, enclosures,
fans, power supplies, and I/O modules for simple, fast installation and maintenance. Hot add expansion of
disk enclosures is also supported.
Snapshot and Clone All MSA 1040 arrays come standard with 64 snaps, 512 snaps available. This controller based functionality
offers higher levels of data protection, enables an almost instant recovery from data failure or corruption
and offers alternative development testing of 'offline' production data and the ability to backup
snapped/cloned data.
