HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage
Overview
DA - 14433 North America — Version 18 — January 17, 2014 Page 2

Efficient Get thin and stay thin - Thin technologies unique to the HP 3PAR StoreServ family can reduce capacity
requirements by 50%. Purchase only what you need, as you need it so you can focus resources on growing
your business, not maintaining your storage. Additionally, the HP 3PAR ASIC with Thin Built In features an
efficient, silicon-based zero-detection mechanism. This unique hardware capability gives HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage the power to remove allocated but unused space without impacting performance.
Data center virtualization - Increase virtualization return on investment. Double virtual machine density on
your physical servers, spend up to 90 percent less time managing your storage, and support your
virtualization deployment with 50 percent less storage capacity. HP 3PAR StoreServ is built from the
ground up to deliver performance that exceeds the demands of virtualized data centers along with
transformative levels of simplicity, agility, and efficiency.
Service levels - With policy-based autonomic sub-LUN tiering, you can balance the cost of capacity and the
cost of performance and put the right data on the right storage tier at the right time.
Do more with less - With HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage you can purchase up to 75 percent less capacity-
meaning less equipment to house, fewer disks to power and cool, less hardware to retire after it has
reached its end of life, and a reduced carbon footprint.
Autonomic It's like breathing-you don't even have to think about it. Simplify, automate, and expedite storage
management by handling storage provisioning, tiering, and change management autonomically-
intelligently, at a sub-system level, and without administrator intervention.
SmartStart Software - software designed to get you off to a quick start with your new HP 3PAR StoreServ
7000 system.
Common architecture - Access the same features as the world's largest service providers with a common
architecture that meets SMB needs and spans to the largest global enterprise.
Resilient Secure multi-tenancy - Consolidate with confidence. Achieve higher service levels for more users and
applications with less infrastructure. HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage is designed to support massive
consolidation by supporting mixed workloads and secure administrative segregation of users, hosts, and
application data. Deliver higher performance levels, greater availability, and next-generation functionality
to multiple user groups and applications from a single storage system.
Scalable - HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 provides affordable entry pricing and unique, non-disruptive scalability
to four nodes.
High Availability - Featuring the same mesh-active architecture as all HP 3PAR StoreServ products, HP
3PAR StoreServ 7000 offers the highest levels of data availability and protection for the midrange.
Intelligent data striping across all available enclosures provides HA Cage, the ability to maintain
availability even when a whole drive enclosure fails. HP 3PAR Persistent Cache in four node configurations
eliminates performance impacts that result from unplanned component failures, making it a must-have
for maintaining service levels in the virtual data center-a feature that you can't get from any other
midrange storage platform.
Storage federation - Meet the needs of today's data center with the ability to move data and workloads
between arrays without impact to applications, users, or services. Simply and non-disruptively shift data
between any model HP 3PAR StoreServ system without additional management layers or appliances.

Standard Features
DA - 14433 North America — Version 18 — January 17, 2014 Page 3

Storage federation on HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage can also help you improve availability in clustered
VMware environments.
Mixed workload - Mixed workload support serves transactional and throughput-intensive workloads from
a single device. The purpose-built HP 3PAR ASIC delivers mixed workload support to alleviate performance
concerns and cut traditional array costs. Transaction- and throughput-intensive workloads run on the
same storage resources without contention, thereby cutting array purchases in half.
Data at Rest Encryption - enables the encryption for all the data that is stored on the internal drives of the
3PAR StoreServ Storage. The 3PAR StoreServ Data Encryption solution encrypts and decrypts all data
written to and read from the media automatically. The 3PAR StoreServ Data Encryption solution encrypts
the data so that data cannot be read off a drive that is removed from the 3PAR Storage. In the event of a
failure of the drive or the theft of a drive, the proper authentication key is required to be entered to gain
access to the data stored within the drive. This method of encryption allows the user the comfort knowing
all data contained on the drive is protected against internal and external risks.

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 2-port 10Gb/sec iSCSI/FCoE Adapter QR487A
Used in the Storage Base products (QR482A, QR483A, and QR485A) and the
Upgrade Node Pair (QR484A).
Because the Storage Base products and the Upgrade Node Pair include built-in FC
ports, the host adapter cards are optional.
QR486A and QR487A include one adapter card each. Adapters must be purchased
in pairs.
The QR486A includes (4) 8 Gb/s shortwave FC SFPs and the QR487A includes (2) 10
Gb/s SFPs.
Each node in a node pair (a node pair is composed of the two controller nodes in a
single 2U enclosure) must have the same number and type of adapters. FC and
iSCSI/FCoE adapters may not be intermixed in a node pair.
The 4 ports of the FC adapter can be individually configured to connect to a host or
to a remote array in an RC configuration.
The two ports of the iSCSI/FCoE adapter can be individually configured by the user
as iSCSI or FCoE.

Step 3 - Choose Drive Enclosures
Add drive enclosures to expand the configuration and to add large form factor drives to the configuration. Drive enclosures can be
ordered separately for installation in the field, or they can be factory configured in a rack. Drive enclosures are optional. Because the
Storage Base products and the Upgrade Node Pair include small form factor drive bays, the minimum configuration does not require
any additional drive enclosures. For larger configurations, attach drive enclosures. Each drive enclosure includes 24 drive bays. The HP
3PAR StoreServ 7200 supports up to five (5) added drive enclosures. The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400 supports up to nine (9) added drive
enclosures per node pair. The two drive enclosure types can be intermixed in a single array.

Drive Enclosures
HP M6710 2.5 inch 2U SAS Drive Enclosure QR490A
HP M6720 3.5 inch 4U SAS Drive Enclosure QR491A
Each drive enclosure includes 24 drive bays, (2) IO modules, (2) 1m SAS cables,
(1) mounting rail kit, and power cables.
The M6710 2U drive enclosure provides 24 SFF drive bays arranged in a single
row.
The M6720 4U drive enclosure provides 24 LFF drive bays, arranged in four (4)
columns of six (6) slots each.
Minimum of zero (0) drive enclosures, maximum of five (5) attached to QR482A.
Minimum of zero (0) drive enclosures, maximum of nine (9) attached to QR483A.
Minimum of zero (0) drive enclosures, maximum of (18) attached to QR485A.
Drive enclosures are connected in daisy chains from the SAS ports of the
controller nodes.
The best practice is to balance the drive enclosures across the SAS ports,
remembering that the controller node enclosures include (24) drives attached to
the SAS port labeled DP-1.
The best practice when including LFF and SFF drive enclosures in the same array
is to arrange them in the rack so that all of the 2U enclosures that belong to one
node pair are together and all of the 4U enclosures for that node pair are
together. When connecting the backend SAS cables, intermix the M6710 and
M6720 enclosures on each SAS port.
With a four node configuration, the best practice is to attach the same number of
drive enclosures to each node pair.
To achieve highest availability in multi-enclosure configurations, configure a
minimum of two (2) enclosures per node pair for RAID 1, a minimum of four (4)
enclosures per node pair if RAID 5 is included, and a minimum of three (3)
enclosures per node pair if RAID 6 is included. Include enclosures containing node
pairs in the count with the M6710 enclosures.
Drive bays that are not filled with a drive must be covered with a drive blank to
preserve proper air flow.
If future capacity upgrades are expected, include enough Drive Enclosures so
that there are some empty bays in each enclosure after all drives are added.

Step 4 - Choose Drives
Drives are orderable at the time the array is purchased, or can be added in the future when additional capacity is required. Unlike other
HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems where drives are sold in magazines of four, HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 drives are sold as single
drives. Note that these drives are only compatible with the M6710 and M6720 drive enclosures.

HP 3PAR StoreServ M6710 1TB 6Gb SAS 7.2K SFF(2.5-inch) Nearline HDD QR498A
For each drive type installed in the array, the minimum recommended initial
quantity is
SSD and SAS performance HDDs - eight (8) drives* per node pair
Nearline HDDs - twelve (12) drives per node pair
Minimum upgrade quantity is 4 drives per node pair or 2 drives per enclosure,
whichever is larger. Best practice is to run Autonomic Rebalance (also known as
tunesys) after adding the drives.
RAID 6 is strongly recommended for Nearline drives.
All node enclosures must contain either zero (0) or an even number of drives. All
drive enclosures must contain an even number of drives, with a minimum of two.
Minimum raw capacity is 1.2TB per node pair.
A best practice is to add equal numbers of drives to all enclosures compatible
with the drive type being added.
With a four node configuration, the best practice is to attach the same number
and type of drives to each node pair.
Small Form Factor (SFF)-specific configuration practices
SFF drives may be loaded into the Storage Base enclosures, the Upgrade

SFF drives must be loaded in pairs of identical drives, beginning with the
leftmost slot, slot 0, and filling to the right, leaving no empty slots
between drives.
Large Form Factor (LFF)-specific configuration practices
LFF drives may be loaded into the M6720 drive enclosure.
LFF drives must be loaded in pairs of identical drives starting at the
bottom of a column, leaving no empty slots between drives in the column.
Columns of drives in the M6720 enclosure must be of the same type (SSD
or NL) and, for HDDs, the same rotational speed. Drives of different types
may not be mixed in a single column. It is permitted to have empty
columns between columns containing drives. Different columns do not
have to contain the same number of drives.
An all LFF drive configuration is permitted, leaving the Storage Base
Enclosure empty.
SSD specific configuration practices
SSD-only configurations are permitted.
Maximum of 120 SSDs per node pair.
The SFF and LFF SSDs allow the user to create SSD volumes that stripe
across SFF and LFF enclosures.
* 8 drives support RAID 1 and RAID 5. For RAID 6 choose 12 drives.

validated local key manager, or optional FIPS validated external key manager.
A data encryption license (LTU) is required to enable encryption on the array. One
encryption license is required for each encrypted array.
Once encryption is enabled on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, it cannot be
disabled.
The local key manager is included in the HP 3PAR OS. There is not a separately
orderable part number for the local key manager.
Step 5 - Choose Service Processor Implementation
The HP 3PAR Service Processor monitors the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 and enables remote monitoring and remote servicing of the
array. The key capabilities of the Service Processor is to:
Enable rapid, proactive response to issues
Provide a secure communication channel between the customer's data center and HP 3PAR Central for:
Remote Online Software Upgrade; upgrade software with no application disruption
Remote Diagnostics; key diagnostic information maintained centrally on a historical basis
Remote Serviceability; provides fast predictive response and remediation
Each HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 requires its own Service Processor. The Service Processor functions as the communication interface
between a customer's IP network and HP 3PAR Central by managing all service-related communications. The Service Processor
leverages the industry-standard HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) protocol to secure and encrypt data communication.
Virtual Service Processor
The Service Processor can be deployed either as a virtual Service processor or a physical Service Processor. A virtual Service Processor
(VSP) is included free with the 3PAR Base Operating System. The virtual Service Processor can be installed on a VMware system that is
provided by the customer before installation that meet the following specifications:
VMware vSphere 4.1 and above
Server listed in VMware Compatibility Guide and with the following features
1GB RAM (minimum for the vSP Virtual Machine)
320GB free disk space ( NOTE : Virtual SP storage must not reside on the array it is managing.)
DVD ROM or DVD RW
1Gb Ethernet port
The customer must provide any hardware required to host the remote support software when deploying a Virtual Service Processor.
For scheduled service calls, the customer shall make the Virtual Service Processor available to HP for remedial activities at the agreed-
upon time. The customer is responsible for maintaining the appropriate HP 3PAR Remote Support Technology with a secure
connection to HP and any passwords required to access the local network and Virtual Service Processor. The customer is responsible
for providing all necessary resources in accordance with the HP 3PAR Service Processor Release Notes in order to enable the delivery
of the service and options. Please contact a local HP representative for further details on requirements, specifications, and exclusions.
Physical Service Processor
If a physical Service Processor is desired, order the following product:

Step 8 - Choose Software
HP provides an extensive selection of features for HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage. All of the features available on the HP 3PAR StoreServ
10000 Storage system are also available on the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage system, the result of a common architecture that
spans from small and medium businesses to the largest global enterprise. For convenient ordering, the 3PAR StoreServ 7000 provides
the features in Suites.
Two types of software licensing methods are employed with the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000. Some software titles are licensed per
system; other titles are licensed by drive. With system-based licensing one license covers the whole array, independent of
configuration or capacity. Drive-based licensing, in contrast, is licensed per installed drive. A software title with drive-based licensing
includes two Licenses to Use (LTU), a Base LTU that enables the software feature for the system and a Drive LTU that licenses the use
of one drive. For each software title, purchase one Base LTU per title per array, and one Drive LTU, up to a cap, for every drive, that is
installed in the array, independent of drive type. For the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 the Drive LTUs cap at 48. For the HP 3PAR StoreServ
7400 the Drive LTUs cap at 168. After reaching the cap, you do not need to purchase any more Drive LTUs for that title.
