Hpe msa 2060 Storage Array

HPE OneView for System Center
HPE OneView for Microsoft System Center provides a comprehensive integration of HPE Storage, HPE
Servers, HPE Blade System and HPE Virtual Connect with Microsoft System Center. HPE OneView for
System Center enables management and monitoring of HPE MSA Storage running in Microsoft
environment with a single pane-of-glass view to events/alerts, capacity and health dashboards and detailed
virtual infrastructure information. It provides seamless integration with Microsoft System Center Operations
Manager (SCOM) enabling predefined discovery and monitoring policies, event processing rules and
topology views for HPE Storage including the MSA Storage Systems.
When deployed with the MSA 2060 array, HPE OneView for System Center provides the following:
Monitors the health, events and alerts for the MSA 2060 - virtual pools, and volumes
Provides topology information for VMs provisioned on the MSA Storage array
HPE OneView for System Center is downloadable at no charge from MSC (My Software Center).
vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI)
The vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) is one of the storage application programming interface (API)
sets in vSphere. VAAI is an API storage partners can leverage to enhance performance of virtual machine
(VM) management operations by delegating these operations to the storage array. With hardware offload,
ESX/ESXi hosts perform certain operations faster and consume less server CPU and memory resources,
and also storage port and storage fabric bandwidth. VAAI includes high performance and scalable VM data
path primitives.
Storage Hardware Primitives for VAAI
Full Copy or Hardware Assisted Move
Block Zeroing or Hardware Assisted Zeroing
Hardware Assisted Locking or Atomic Test and Set (ATS)
UNMAP reclaims space that is no longer on a thinly provisioned VMFS volume
LDAP Support
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an industry standard application protocol for accessing
and maintaining distributed directory information services over an IP network. LDAP provides the ability to
authenticate MSA users with a central directory.
Domain or Directory Credentials are not stored on the MSA for authentication - avoids a security
issue.
Once user groups are configured on all MSAs in your organization, users can be authenticated on
any MSA through the Active Directory.
