Introduction

HPE MSA (HPE Modular Smart Array) is Hewlett-Packard Enterprise’s entry-level storage series. MSA is designed primarily for the data consolidation and for the storage, as well as for the virtualization systems. It supports a variety of the storage types, from a high-performance, enterprise-grade two-port SAS drives to low-cost, high-capacity SAS MDL or SATA MDL archiving drives. These arrays are hot-swappable for the hardware components, including the hard drives, the controllers, the power supplies, the fans and a have drive-removal protection based on a key or a dongle.

Key Benefits

  • It discovers the HPE MSA components.
  • Publishes relationships between resources to have a topological view and ease of maintenance.
  • Provides metrics related to job scheduling time and status etc..
  • Concern alerts are generated for each metric to notify the administrator regarding the issue with the resource.
