The MSA500 G2 4-port I/O module takes the Modular Smart Array 500 G2 from 2 to 4 host channels supported enabling up to 4 servers to share the storage system. It also allows for 2-node multipath configurations increasing the system fault tolerance.
The Smart Array Multipath software included with the MSA500 G2 4-port I/O Module provides an additional level of fault tolerance by adding redundancy and performance to both the HBA in the host server as well as the SCSI cables connecting the host servers to the shared storage. Smart Array Multipath software delivers dual path functionality and supports failover capabilities for redundant host bus adapters (HBAs). When an HBA failure occurs, the software moves the logical drives from the path of the failed HBA to the path of the redundant HBA located in the same server.
- Increase availability by protecting against HBA and cable failures and accidental pull-outs
- Static LUN Balancing (Microsoft OS) enables the administrator to optimize I/O by assigning specific volumes to specific paths in the storage system. If one path fails the system moves volumes to the path for redundant HBA for I/O management
- Static Load (read-only) Balancing (Linux OS) enables the HBAs to optimize I/O with dual paths to the same volumes in the storage system. If one HBA fails the system moves volumes to the path for the redundant HBA for I/O management
- Provided with MSA500 G2 4-Port I/O module
