Re: MSA 1000
That being said, I think the MSA1000's RAID controller is the same as a SmartArray 5i or 6i and you use the same array configuration tools that you would on an internal HP array controller.

Re: MSA 1000
"You connect it to one or more fibre channel HBAs." - You only connect 1 MSA1000 controller to 1 HBA. If you have 2 MSA1000 controllers in your MSA1000 configuration (or MSA1500), then you would NEED 2 HBA's. Connecting dual controllers to 1 HBA is not supported.
"The fibre cards plug in to the fibre switch in the back of the array to communicate with the MSA1000 controller." - Yes, this is the usual way things work unless there is no fibre switch on the MSA itself. If there isn't, then there must be some external SAN Switch to connect both the servers and the MSA to.
"That being said, I think the MSA1000's RAID controller is the same as a SmartArray 5i or 6i..." - Not the same, but in the same family. It is a Smart Array Controller.
"...and you use the same array configuration tools that you would on an internal HP array controller." - Yes, you use ACU to configure the MSA.
