HP / HPE Modular Smart Array (MSA) P2000 G3 controller module acts as the operational brain of the HPE StorageWorks P2000 G3 SAN Array. It handles all RAID math execution, physical host link routing, and high-density cache operations to back-end SAS/SATA drives.
Depending on your specific variant's faceplate ports, its architectural capabilities include:
• Host Interconnect Options: Offered in high-speed 8 Gb Fibre Channel, direct-attach 6 Gb/s SAS, 1 GbE iSCSI, or 10GbE iSCSI topologies to flexibly align with distinct networking infrastructures.
• High Availability Architecture: Designed for active-active dual controller enclosure configurations, providing independent processing paths to completely safeguard against hardware failure.
• RAID Management Engines: Provides physical storage mapping and logical striping across standard enterprise drive frameworks including RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, and 50 configurations
