Overview
(formerly known as HP StorageWorks 4400 Enclosure)
The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 30 Single Bus or Dual Bus Enclosures (hereafter referred to as "MSA30 SB or
MSA30 DB") is an Ultra320 SCSI disk drive storage enclosure. These enclosures deliver industry-leading data performance,
availability, storage density, and upgradeability to meet customers' demanding and growing storage needs. The drive carrier
is designed to support the fastest current Ultra320 hard drives on the same SCSI bus. The ease of upgrading the
StorageWorks 4200 or the StorageWorks 4300 Enclosure to the MSA30 proves that HP provides the lowest cost of
ownership. The MSA30 SB and DB enclosures support HP Integrity and HP ProLiant servers in addition to HP 9000 and HP
Alpha Servers. Proving that technology transitions can proceed smoothly without disrupting critical business environments
The MSA30 OVSM HA kit ships with a 60 day trial license of OpenView Storage Mirroring software. This product also
includes two 72GB 15K rpm Ultra320 hard drives. When configured with a ProLiant server, IT administrators can perform
tasks such as OS Migration, disaster recovery and server consolidation. Administrators can move file servers to new servers
without incurring downtime and while using available bandwidth. This solution allows customers to keep the target and host
units in production mode while allowing the migration of data simultaneously. MSA30 OVSM HA kit will allow the
administrator to manage bandwidth during the migration process to maximize I/O on critical servers during off-peak hours.

Ultra320 SCSI transfer rates combined with the highest spindle count
per U of rack space allows the MSA30 to achieve the greatest I/Os per
second.
3U rack form factor allows customer to achieve the maximum storage
capacity per square foot in the data center.
Ultra320 single and dual I/O upgrade modules make upgrading the
StorageWorks 4200/4300 Enclosure to Ultra320 quick and easy.
NOTE: U320 performance requires a compatible U320 controller. This is
noted in the product documentation.

transitions simple and cost effective, and has simplified the transition to
the next generation SCSI protocol.
Universal drives and drive carriers across HP's entire Ultra2, Ultra3, and
