Expansion of a MSA30 S-B ENCLOSURE (4TB array)
I currently have a MSA30 S-B ENCLOSURE with a 4TB array attached to a HP Smart Array 6400 Controller in a DL380 G4. I would like to use a HP StorageWorks 70 MSA Enclosure with a P800 controller, (18)300GB 2.5 SAS drives, to expand the 4TBs.
What do I need to make it work?

MSA 1000 Windows 2008
Hi,
Running a windows 2008 with a MSA1000 for backup purposes.
Got the following strange thing:
I create a LUN on it. About 1.6 TB raid 5.
The MSA1000 has two controllers. Now when i do a rescan in Windows it says it sees 2 disk? how is that possible? It's only one lune but it's stating in windows that it exist 2 times.

P2000 G3 MSA Performance
Hello,
I have a Hyper-V 2012 cluster which points at LUNs based on a P2000 G3 for the virtual servers. My users are complaining about speed issues and one thing that has been flagged is latency in the read/write speed. I spoke to HPE who checked my P2000 SAN for hardware faults and found nothing, However, to me the performance data over the last four days looks to be spiking. I don't have anything to compare my charts to as a baseline was never taken.
I'm wondering if I get opinions on the performance charts and whether the performance data shows significant latency that would be causing/contributing to my issues. I have two disk arrays in the P2000, one allocated to each controller. Performance data from each is attached.
Many thanks,
Steve

P2000 recovery problem
Hello,
after a controller of a P2000 storage failed, we aquired a new controller which has a slightly newer firmware than remaining controller has. The partner firmware upgrade fails which results in the problem that the replaced controller is shut down and the storage remains degraded.
I am trying to find the firmware T230P03 which comes with the bundle TS230P006 for a couple of hours now but without any success. I plan to downgrade the new controller, get the storage up and running again and then upgrade both controllers to the latest firmware. Unfortunately I am not able to find the bundle TS230P006 at all. The HPE homepage is not of any help.
Does one of you guys have any idea where to find this particular firmare to be downloaded?
Thanks for your help,
Heri

Safe Disk Firmware Upgrade on a P2000 G3?
Looking for advice on how to upgrade the disk firmware on a P2000. What I thought would be a safe way to do this was to first get all the data off of the vdisk by migrating them to a different vdisk on the MSA. Once it's all clear, go through the vdisk's drives and upgrade their firmware via the MSA's Update Firmware section using the .fla file download. However I've noticed that even though I'm not touching any of the other vdisks on the MSA, I'm always seeing disconnects of the other vdisks during the upgrade. Even if I'm doing the upgrade using controller A and the other vdisks are using controller B, still getting disconnects.
Fortunately they are quick and things seem to recover, but I'd rather have a much safer method to get the drives flashed without the worry of disconnections.
Please advise and thanks!

MSA 2040 question
Hello, i have a MSA 2040 and i have some questions.
1. What is the difference between Disk Group Type "Virtual" and "linear"?
2. What are the advantages of Virtual vs. Linear?
3. For what the pools be used?
In MSA are installed 17x 15K 600GB hard disks and 2x 2TB 7.2K hard disks.
I would like to set up the following configuration:
• RAID 10 with 16x 600GB 15K HDD + 1 Spare 15K 600GB
o 1 Volume 4.8 TB
• RAID 1 7.2K 2x 2TB hard drives
o 1 Volume 2TB
Which Disk Group type makes more sense here "Virtual" or "linear"?

P2000 G3 - Can you rearrange the physical drives
We have a P2000 G3 FC / iSCSI system with several vdisks, volumes, etc. We'd like to rearrange the physical drives so that drives in the same vdisks are located contiguously to each other (ease of mainteance / documentation / OCD / etc). Will the P2000 allow this, or will we have to either recreate the vdisks or just live with the current mess?

MSA 2000, changed management subnet, can no longer connect to management website or ping IP
Pretty much as this posts subject.
The management ports IP address has been left the same but I changed the subnet from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0 and now I can no longer ping the IP address of the management port or access the web management (the clients I'm trying to manage it from connected to it fine in the past and their IP settings are correct).
My VMware cluster still connects to the SAN ports fine though.
Am I up s**t creek and now need to restarts the controllers to get the IP management back ?, thanks.

Firmware update for controller on HP 2000 G3 MSA
When trying to download the firmware update, it prompts for OS. AFAIK, there is no OS....only firmware on the SAN. What do I choose here?
Also...is there a way to backup the current firmware before updating?

New server infrastructure/ Nuova infrastruttura server
Buongiorno,
dovrei creare una nuovo infrastruttura composta da 2 server DL360 Gen9 in cluster, Vmware Esxi e 10 macchine virtuali. Sto cercando uno storage condiviso che garantisca prestazioni ed affidabilità (o eventualmente 2 storage collegati tra loro se possibile).
Lo spazio occupato dalle macchine si dovrebbe attestare sui 4TB, su una delle VM però gira un database SQL da 300GB, le prestazioni richieste riguardano principalmente questa macchina.
Mi sapreste consigliare in merito?
Grazie,
ds.

Deploying Shared Storage - Fibre Channel or iSCSI? Which do I recommend?
At QLogic, we provide adapters for HPE that support a variety of protocols for connecting servers to shared storage including iSCSI, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and native Fibre Channel (FC). One of the questions we get quite often is which protocol is best for connecting servers to shared storage? The answer is, it depends. Check out this video for more details, are read this blog.

MSA 2040 and Received an indication that the LUN assignments on this target have changed.
Hello!
Have several linux hosts connected to MSA 2040 over iscsi.
Once, let's say, new lun is mapped to one of hosts, all hosts complains:
Warning! Received an indication that the LUN assignments on this target have changed. The Linux SCSI layer does not automatical
This is, definitely, harmless.
But why MSA 2040 sends this to all hosts, not only to one, which has new map?
Is it possible to change this?
Thank you!
