HP MSA 1040 E7W00A 사용자 설명서

HP Insight Control Storage Module for vCenter is a component within the HP Insight Control plug-in for
vCenter. It provides VMware administrators that are using VMware's vSphere management console (vCenter)
with the ability to see how virtual machines are mapped to datastores and individual MSA Storage volumes.
By providing these clear relationships between VM's, datastores and storage, the VMware administrator's
productivity increases, as does the ability to ensure quality of service. Roles for administrators can be
defined on an individual basis, providing the ability to apply specific permissions for both view and control
functions.

The HP Insight Control Storage Module for vCenter supports mixed array environments including MSA
Storage, P2000, EVA, StoreVirtual Appliances, and the XP array series including the P9500.

When deployed with the MSA Storage array, HP Insight Control Storage Module provides the following:

Active Management functionality for the MSA 1040 array:

Create/Expand/Delete a Datastore
Create a Virtual Machine from a template
Clone VM/Datastore

Monitors the health and status of the MSA 1040
Displays LUN / volume connections from VMs and ESX servers to the arrays and provides the location
and attributes of the MSA 1040 within the SAN
Identifies what storage features are available to allow administrators to match the features available
on the MSA 1040 to their requirements
Provide a cluster-level view of the storage

The vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) is one of the storage application programming interface (API)
sets in vSphere. VAAI is an API storage partners can leverage to enhance performance of virtual machine (VM)
management operations by delegating these operations to the storage array. With hardware offload,
ESX/ESXi hosts perform certain operations faster and consume less server CPU and memory resources, and
also storage port and storage fabric bandwidth. VAAI includes high performance and scalable VM data path
primitives.

Storage Hardware Primitives for VAAI

Full Copy or Hardware Assisted Move
Block Zeroing or Hardware Assisted Zeroing
Hardware Assisted Locking or Atomic Test and Set (ATS)

Snapshots create up to 512 point-in-time pictures of data
Volume Copies create up to 128 point-in-time copies of data
