node

Overview The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 500 (MSA500) offers 2-node clustering, Recovery Server, and up to 4-node shared storage support at SCSI economics, while providing high data availability with redundant controllers and multi-path I/O technology. As storage requirements evolve and users need to expand their storage system to greater capacity or to attach more than four servers, the Modular Smart Array 500 is easily convertible to a SAN because it is based on DAS-to-SAN (DtS) technology. This paper details the steps to convert a Modular Smart Array 500 to a Modular Smart Array 1000 (MSA1000) in a direct attached environment.
