  • Page 2: Executive Summary

    Executive summary This paper presents an HP technical blueprint for building mezzanine backup-restore solutions, which include HP StorageWorks raid arrays, tape libraries, and software. The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1500 (MSA1500) controller shelf is a 2-Gb Fibre Channel storage system for the entry-level to midrange storage area network (SAN). It reduces the complexity, expense, and risk of SAN deployments in heterogeneous server environments.

  • Page 4: Solution Design And Design Rules

    This mezzanine backup-restore solution blueprint provides customers: • Faster single file recovery from inexpensive near online storage. • Decreased backup window by distributing file backups to near online storage and tape. Disk files are then copied to tape for offline storage. •...

  • Page 6: Assumptions

    Assumptions MSA1500 • Uses SSP. • Stores data with RAID. When using RAID Advanced Data Guarding (ADG), data is protected if two disk drives should fail. Tape library An HP StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS)-supported HP StorageWorks MSL or HP StorageWorks ESL model tape library is used.

  • Page 8: Supported Hosts

    Figure 3. Example mezzanine backup-restore solution rack Customers with an existing SAN and a supported ESL or MSL tape library may only need to add the MSA1500 and the two MSA20 enclosures. If a backup management server is not already in place, one must be added to support the solution.

  • Page 11: Synergy Of Components

    Synergy of components This solution uses proven, customer-accepted, fault-tolerant technology with the option to add additional system and data reliability. There is no new technology to learn; it has the look and feel of primary storage. Implementing a mezzanine backup-restore solution adds flexibility and performance to an existing data protection system.

  • Page 12: Scaling-Growth-Flexibility

    Scaling-growth-flexibility What happens if I already own a tape library? This mezzanine backup-restore solution supports any MSL or ESL tape library that is supported by the EBS. See the for a list of EBS supported EBS Hardware/Software Compatibility Matrix tape libraries. What if I want to back up more servers? Performance is heavily dependent on the size and types of applications being backed up.
