HPE MSA

Introduction

The HPE MSA (Modular Smart Array) integration provides customers with a comprehensive storage solution designed for data consolidation and virtualization. As an entry-level storage series from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, the HPE MSA is built to handle diverse storage needs, offering flexibility in using both high-performance, enterprise-grade drives and cost-efficient, high-capacity archiving drives. This integration enables seamless management of HPE MSA environments, providing hot-swappable hardware components such as drives, controllers, power supplies, and fans, ensuring minimal downtime and efficient operations.

Key Benefits

The integration automatically discovers and organizes HPE MSA components, simplifying the process of managing your storage infrastructure.
By publishing relationships between resources, it offers a clear topological view of your system, making maintenance and troubleshooting more efficient.
Customers can access metrics related to job scheduling times, statuses, and other performance indicators, helping with better resource management.
Concern alerts are generated for each metric, notifying administrators of any issues, ensuring swift action to maintain system health and reduce disruptions.

Supported Target Version

Version History


Application Version	Bug fixes / Enhancements
3.0.0	Additional capacity metrics support (Tirewise capacity metrics were not added to the monitor (HPE MSA Storage Array API Monitor hpe-msa HPE MSA Storage Array 3) by default. In case required need to clone the DMP, templates, monitors and then need to add required tirewise capacity metrics to the monitor)
2.0.2	Added code support for Get Target Response command for each native type. On demand latest snapshot support and Activity logger changes.
2.0.1	SMI-S session closing fix
2.0.0	Support for SMI-S Communication
1.0.0	Initial support for HPE MSA application.
