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 Use Cases
Discovery Use Cases
- Discovers all the high-level components such as HPE MSA Storage Array, HPE MSA Enclosure, HPE MSA Disk, HPE MSA Power Supply, HPE MSA Controller, HPE MSA Port, HPE MSA Pool, HPE MSA Disk Group and HPE MSA Volume.
- Publishes relationships between resources to enable a topological view and simplify maintenance.
- For detailed structure, see Resource Hierarchy.
Monitoring Use Cases
- Provides monitoring related to availability, capacity, performance, and usage.
- Generates alerts when defined metric thresholds are breached, notifying users of potential issues.
- For a list of supported metrics and details on Default Montoring Configuration, see Supported Metrics and Default Monitoring Configuration.

Version History
| Application Version | Bug fixes / Enhancements |
|---|---|
| 4.0.0 | Default availability,threshold metric definition changes. |
| 3.0.1 | Metric Data Value precision changes. |
| 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 |
|
| 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. |
