The Smart Array
Advantage
HP's innovative design and integration work of the Smart Array family of products creates customer value
that is unmatched in the industry. Use of Smart Array products across multiple applications results in a
much lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than any other server storage RAID product. The HP Smart Array
family brings an unparalleled return on investment through:
Data Compatibility among all models of Smart Array controllers allows simple and easy upgrades any
time needs for higher performance, capacity, and availability increase. Even successive generations of
Smart Array controllers understand the data format of other Smart Array Controllers.
Consistent Configuration and Management Tools . All Smart Array products utilize a standard set of
management and utility software. These tools minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reducing training
requirements and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain the HP server storage.
Universal Drive form factors (2.5" and 3.5") are used across multiple HP servers, disk enclosures and
storage systems. With compatibility across many enterprise platforms, you are free to deploy and re-
deploy these drives to quickly deliver increased storage capacity, migrate data between systems, and
easily manage spare drives.
Smart Carrier is used across multiple HP Servers. With compatibility across many enterprise platforms,
you are free to deploy and re-deploy these drives to quickly deliver increased storage capacity, migrate
data between systems, and easily manage spare drives.
Pre-Failure Warranty means HP Insight Manager not only reports when a drive is going to fail but allows
replacement of failing drives prior to actual failure. For complete details, consult the HP Support Center or
refer to your HP Server documentation.

The P822 2GB array accelerator features a flash-backed write cache. If the cache DRAM contains data when
power is lost, the data is copied into flash memory of the cache module, drawing power from attached
capacitors. When power is restored, if the flash memory chips contain write data, the data is copied back
into the DRAM so it can be flushed to the drives.
Advantages over battery-backed cache architectures include:
No 72-hour deadline for retrieving the data before the batteries fully discharge
Capacitors charge faster than batteries; controller disables the write cache for only a few minutes
waiting for capacitors to charge rather than a few hours waiting for batteries to charge
No need for periodic battery replacement
No special disposal process

Native Command Queuing
(NCQ)
Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is a technology designed to increase performance of SATA hard disk drives
by allowing the individual hard disk to internally optimize the order in which received read and write
commands are executed. This can reduce the amount of unnecessary going back-and-forth on the drive's
heads, resulting in increased performance for workloads where multiple simultaneous read/write requests
are outstanding, most often occurring in server or storage-type applications. Without NCQ the drive has to
process and complete one command at a time. For NCQ to be enabled, it must be supported and turned on
in the controller and in the hard drive itself.

NOTE: Please see the SATA Hard Drive QuickSpecs for specific SATA hard drive capacities that support NCQ:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13021_na/13021_na.html
Dual Domain Support Dual domain SAS creates redundant pathways for external drives from servers to storage devices. The
redundant paths created by these configurations reduce or eliminate single points of failure within the
storage network. This provides increased levels of high availability with redundant paths from the
controller to the drives. Dual domain SAS implementations make it possible to tolerate host bus adapter
(HBA) or controller failure, external cable failure, expander failure, cable pulls, expander failure and failure
in a spanned disk (JBOD) environments.
Number of Drives P822 supports up to 227 drives. Examples:
27 internal drives plus eight HP D2700 Disk Enclosures with 25 drives each (227 drives)
27 internal drives plus eight HP D2600 Disk Enclosures with 12 drives each (123 drives)
RAID Levels RAID 0 (striping) provides no extra data protection. Data is striped across all drives in the array to
increase performance. RAID 0 requires a minimum of one drive.
RAID 1 (mirroring) protects against failure of one drive. Data is duplicated on a pair of drives. RAID 1
requires a minimum of two drives. Also see the Advanced Pack Mirror Splitting and Combining
feature.
RAID 1+0 (mirroring and striping) protects against failure of one drive (and failure of particular
multiple drives). RAID 1+0 is a nested RAID method that uses RAID 0 striping across RAID 1 arrays to
provide performance and protection. RAID 1+0 requires a minimum of four drives. Also see the
Advanced Pack Mirror Splitting and Combining feature.
RAID 5 (distributed data guarding) protects against failure of one drive. Data protection is provided
by parity data distributed across all the drives. When a physical drive fails, data that was on the
failed drive can be calculated from the remaining parity data and user data on the other drives in the
array. This recovered data is usually written to an online spare drive through a process called a
rebuild. RAID 5 requires a minimum of three drives.
RAID 6 with ADG (Advanced Data Guarding): This is the highest level of fault tolerance. It allocates
two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write operations. This level of fault
tolerance can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss.

DA - 14341 North America — Version 11 — September 10, 2013 Page 5

RAID 50 (RAID 5+0) protects against failure of one drive (and failure of particular multiple drives).
RAID 50 is a nested RAID method that uses RAID 0 striping across RAID 5 arrays. RAID 50 tolerates
one drive failure in each spanned array without loss of data. RAID 50 requires less rebuild time than
single RAID 5 arrays RAID 50 requires a minimum of six drives.
RAID 60 (RAID 6+0) allows administrators to split the RAID 6 storage across multiple external
boxes. RAID 60 requires a minimum of eight drives. RAID 60 is a nested RAID method that uses RAID
0 block-level striping across multiple RAID 6 arrays with dual distributed parity. With the inclusion of
dual parity, RAID 60 will tolerate the failure of two disks in each spanned array without loss of data.
RAID 1 ADM (Advanced Data Mirroring) allows customers to create mirrored RAID set using 3
identical hard drives. This provides customers with a 2nd "live spare" for RAID 1(+0) configurations.
This allows customers to rebuild a failed drive in a RAID 1(+0) set without the array entering into a
degraded state.

Fault Prevention The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to
be taken:
S.M.A.R.T.: Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology first developed at HP detects
possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the component before failure
occurs.
Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and notifying
the administrator.
Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk drives
during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.
Smart Array Cache Tracking monitors integrity of controller cache, allowing pre-failure preventative
maintenance.
Environment Tracking for External Storage System: Monitors fan speed and cabinet temperature of
Modular Smart Array Enclosures.
Fault Recovery Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
Recovery ROM: This feature provides unique redundancy that protects from a ROM image
corruption. A new version of firmware can be flashed to the ROM while the controller maintains the
last known working version of firmware. If the firmware becomes corrupt, the controller will revert
back to the previous version of firmware and continue operating. This reduces the risk of flashing
firmware to the controller.
On-Line Spares: There is no limit to the number of spare drives that can be installed prior to drive
failure. If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an On-Line Spare and data is reconstructed
automatically.
DRAM ECC corrects against single bit data and address corruption.
Ease of Use Consistency and Upgradeability make the Smart Array family unique in the industry:
GUI based configuration, management and diagnostic software tools
Common data format between generations of products
Data migration between servers and external Modular Smart Array enclosures

RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding) protects against failure of any two drives. RAID 6 requires a
minimum of four drives. ADG can tolerate multiple simultaneous drive failures without downtime or
data loss and is ideal for applications requiring large logical volumes, because it can safely protect a
single volume of up to 56 disk drives. RAID 6 also offers lower implementation costs and greater
usable capacity per U than RAID 1.
RAID 60 (RAID 6+0) allows administrators to split the RAID 6 storage across multiple external boxes.
RAID 60 requires a minimum of eight drives. RAID 60 is a nested RAID method that uses RAID 0
block-level striping across multiple RAID 6 arrays with dual distributed parity. With the inclusion of
dual parity, RAID 60 will tolerate the failure of two disks in each spanned array without loss of data.
Advanced Capacity Expansion automates higher capacity migration using capacity transformation to
remove logical drives by shrinking and then expanding them online. Standard drive migration and
expansion remain unchanged.
Mirror Splitting and Recombining. Mirror splitting is a task that splits an array with one or more RAID
1 or RAID 1+0 logical drives into two identical new arrays with RAID 0 logical drives. This is useful for
administrators who want to replicate a configuration or need to build a backup before performing a
risky operation. Using the ACU, administrators can also recombine a split mirrored array.
Drive Erase completely erases physical disks or logical volumes. This capability is useful when
decommissioning, redeploying, or returning hard drives. Provides three patterns:
One pass erase: Write zeros
Two pass erase: Write random data, then zeros
Three pass erase: Write random data, random data, then zeros
Video On Demand Performance Optimization optimizes performance of video on demand and
improves latency during video streaming. Provides controls for:

NOTE: Go to the HP Hard Drive Compatibility table for complete drive compatibility
information ( http://www.hp.com/products/harddiskdrives ). Using hard drives in
unsupported configurations will result in voiding the warranty and could result in
damage to the drive and/or loss of data.
NOTE: The components of a storage subsystem (e.g. the drive, the HBA/controller,
firmware, and the server backplane) should operate at the same data transfer rate or
the system bandwidth will be negotiated down to an acceptable level for all
components.
NOTE: Hard drives have either a one year or three year warranty; refer to the specific
hard drive QuickSpecs for details.
