Standard Features
The Smart Array
Advantage
Key Features
HP's innovative design and integration work of the Smart Array family of products creates customer value
that is unmatched in the industry. Use of Smart Array products across multiple applications results in a
much lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than any other server storage RAID product. The HP Smart
Array family brings an unparalleled return on investment through:
Data Compatibility among all models of Smart Array controllers allows simple and easy upgrades any
time needs for higher performance, capacity, and availability increase. Even successive generations of
Smart Array controllers understand the data format of other Smart Array Controllers.
Consistent Configuration and Management Tools.
Tools All Smart Array products utilize a standard set of
management and utility software. These tools minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reducing
training requirements and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain the HP server storage.
Universal Hard Drive form factor is for use across multiple HP servers, disk enclosures and storage
systems. With compatibility across many enterprise platforms, you are free to deploy and re-deploy these
drives to quickly deliver increased storage capacity, migrate data between systems, and easily manage
spare drives.
Pre-Failure Warranty means HP Insight Manager not only reports when a drive is going to fail but allows
replacement of failing drives prior to actual failure. For complete details, consult the HP Support Center
or refer to your HP Server documentation.
The SA-P411 Controller supports up to 100 drives. Additional drives can be supported with cache
and connection to an expander
The SA-P411 Controller supports the HP StorageWorks 60 Modular Smart Array,HP StorageWorks
70 Modular Smart Array, HP StorageWorks D2600 Disk Enclosure, HP StorageWorks D2700 Disk
Enclosure, and HP StorageWorks 600 Modular Disk System.

Native Command
Queuing
Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is a technology designed to increase performance of SATA hard disk
drives by allowing the individual hard disk to internally optimize the order in which received read and
write commands are executed. This can reduce the amount of unnecessary going back-and-forth on the
drive's heads, resulting in increased performance for workloads where multiple simultaneous read/write
requests are outstanding, most often occurring in server or storage-type applications. Without NCQ the
drive has to process and complete one command at a time. For NCQ to be enabled, it must be
supported and turned on in the controller and in the hard drive itself.
NOTE: Please see the SATA Hard Drive QuickSpecs for specific SATA hard drive capacities that support
NCQ: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11940_div/11940_div.html
Capacity
Given the increasing need for high performance and rapid capacity expansion, the SA-P411 offers:
Up to 57.6TB of external storage per PCI slot with 8x HP StorageWorks 60 Modular Smart Array
enclosures or HP StorageWorks D2600 Disk Enclosures and 96 x 600GB 3.5" SAS hard drives

Pre-Failure Warranty
Fault Prevention
The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to
be taken:
S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) was first developed by HP which
detects possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the component before
failure occurs.
Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and notifying
the administrator.
Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk drives
during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.
Smart Array Cache Tracking monitors integrity of controller cache, allowing pre-failure
preventative maintenance.
Environment Tracking for External Storage System: Monitors fan speed and cabinet temperature of
StorageWorks Modular Smart Array Enclosures and HP StorageWorks Disk Enclousres.
Fault Tolerance
Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced; several fault tolerance
configurations are supported including:
RAID 6 with ADG (Advanced Data Guarding): This is the highest level of fault tolerance. It
allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write operations. This level
of fault tolerance can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss.
RAID 6+0:
6+0 Supported with min of 8 drives, but would have 4 available. Target benefit is to split
RAID across the external boxes
NOTE: RAID 6, 6+0 can be enabled with either
Minimum of 256 MB cache with Battery kit and Smart Array Advanced Pack License key
option upgrades
Minimum of 512 MB BBWC or FBWC and Smart Array Advanced Pack License key option
upgrades
RAID 5 (Distributed Data Guarding): This allocates one set of parity data across drives and allows
simultaneous write operations. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a single drive failure
without downtime or data loss.
RAID5 is available on the SA P411 with a minimum of 256MB cache
RAID 5+0:
5+0 This is a RAID 0 array striped across 5 elements. Combines the straight block-level
striping of RAID 0 with the distributed parity of RAID 5.
Drive Mirroring (RAID 1, 1+0): This allocates half of the drive array to data and the other half to
mirrored data, providing two copies of every file. It is a high-performance RAID.

Standard Features
Fault Recovery
Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
Recovery ROM: This new feature provides a unique redundancy feature that protects from a ROM
image corruption. A new version of firmware can be flashed to the ROM while the controller
maintains the last known working version of firmware. If the firmware becomes corrupt, the
controller will revert back to the previous version of firmware and continue operating. This reduces
the risk of flashing firmware to the controller.
On-Line Spares: There is no limit to the number of spare drives that can be installed prior to drive
failure. If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an On-Line Spare and data is reconstructed
automatically.
DRAM ECC corrects against single bit data and address corruption.
Battery-backed write cache upgrade provides for up to two days of battery power for data cache
retention. The data backup duration could be extended anytime the server's auxiliary power is
available during system power down.
Flash Backed Write Cache upgrade provides indefinite data retention.
Ease of Use
Consistency and Upgradeability make the Smart Array family unique in the industry:
GUI based configuration, management and diagnostic software tools
Common data format between generations of products
Data migration between servers and external HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array enclosures
and HP StorageWorks Disk Enclosures
