NOTE: 2) 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
HPE MSA 1040 arrays 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 HPE 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). All 6Gb SAS results were measured
using 6Gb SAS Host Bus Adapter.
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 HPE MSA 1040 are designed to give a
conservative reference point for comparisons.
Configuration and
Management Tools
HPE 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.
