Overview

HP Smart Array P700m Controller

The HP Smart Array P700m is HP's first mezzanine Card PCI-Express (PCIE) supporting shared SAS Storage. It is one of the highest performing controllers in the SAS portfolio and provides new levels of reliability for HP Blade servers, through its support of the latest SCSI technology and advanced RAID capabilities. Supports up 100 HDD per HP Smart Array P700m Controller.

NOTE: A half height blade server must have a P700m Controller (P/N 508226-B21 or 507925-B21) installed in server mezzanine slot 1 or mezzanine slot 2. The preferred slot is mezzanine slot 2. A full height blade server must have a P700m Controller (508226-B21 or 507925-B21) installed in server mezzanine slot 1, mezzanine slot 2 or mezzanine slot 3. The preferred mezzanine slot is slot 2. A double density blade server must have a P700m Controller (508226-B21 or 507925-B21) installed in server mezzanine slot 2 of each server. 4 SAS Switches, in interconnect bays 5, 6, 7 and 8, must also be included in this configuration.

Standard Features

The Smart Array Advantage	HP's innovative design and integration work within 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.
	Data Compatibility Data Compatibility with all Serial Smart Array controllers allows simple and easy upgrades any time needs for higher performance, capacity, and availability increase.
	Consistent Configuration and Management 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 HP server storage.
	Pre-Failure Warranty Pre-Failure Warranty means Systems 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.

Global Online Spare
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 first developed at HP 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

Fault Tolerance

Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced; several fault tolerance configurations are supported including:

Advanced Data Guarding (RAID 6) P700m/512: 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.
Distributed Data Guarding (RAID 5) P700m/512: This allocates parity data across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write operations. It is recommended for up to 14 hard drives.
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.

Fault Recovery

Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure:

Recovery ROM: This feature provides unique redundancy 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.

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 StorageWorks Modular Smart Array enclosures
