And here is the cost in Canadian:

It appears the product number for SG for Linux is B9902BA. SG for Linux also requires a license per server cluster node. There are other add on products like SG Extensions for SAP (T1227AA).

B9902BA approx $3000
307754-B24 node license approx $1500

You would need SGLX Version 11.16 as per this document:
http://docs.hp.com/en/5971/SG-SGeRAC-EMSSupport_12.15.2005.pdf

The MSA 500 is supported with Smart Array 5i and 532 HBAs and provide RAID functionality for data protection. The 2 port Smart Array Cluster Storage only supports a single SCSI link from each node. Therefore, the SG/LX disk monitor is used to monitor the storage links and fail over the package if a link to the array goes down.

The DL380 G2, G3 and G4 servers are supported
