MSA 2040: The disk group is quarantined.

Hi,

we have an MSA 2040 with a disk group quarantined and one degraded. when we check the disks, all 24 disks are online and "OK".

We already restarted the controllers, but we're not getting this degraded / quarantined status away, even if all disks are online (and we did not replace them)

Anyone has an idea?

Hello
Can you please tell me how to configure SNMP on MSA 2040 so that I can receive information from it (PRTG)?
If I enter setup notification, snmp is turned off.If I turn it on, I need to select a level and specify the address of the server where it will send the log.But I need something different, to receive data from it.

Hi,

 

I intend to add 2 new physical disks on an MSA1050 and extend my existing 

Found some posts on how to do it for MSA1040, but it seems I can't do it on MSA1050 as only option on Modify Disk Group is to rename it.

Is is possible to add the new disks to the existinf Disk Group?

vSphere 6.5 - Round Robin LB Settings (changing iops=1000 to iops=1)

Hi all!

I have bought HP MSA 2052 recently and using it with ESXi 6.5 host. I read "HPE MSA Storage Configuration and Best Practices for VMware vSphere" documentation and there is one section 

"Multipath
With server virtualization environments using vSphere 5.x, HPE recommends using the Round Robin (VMW_PSP_RR) failover policy with all HPE MSA Storage arrays. For optimal default system performance with HPE MSA Storage, configure the round robin load balancing selection to IOPS with a value of 1 for every LUN"

My question is does this settings still valid to 6.5?

Replication between 2 x MSA 2052

May 27, 2019, 9:53 am

Hi all,

we are studying the implementation of a DR site with a twin MSA 2052 setup as the Remote Snap licenses are included. I know that the MSA2040 series support both type of replication, Linear and Virtual while the MSA 2050 series support only Virtual which has it's caveats. Based on the replication white paper it is stated that with Virtualized replication ALL connected ports must be accessible on the same network (while with linear it is suggested but not obligatory) - now to my question: in order to avoid adding 2 x 10Gbit switches to the local site, we would connect the local MSA 2052 to 3 hosts directly with the SFP+ cables, using 2 connections per host (one per MSA controller) so in total 6 for full redundancy. The last (4rth) ports of each controller would be connected to a gbit switch and router going to the remote site (so it's segmented from the other 6 ports) to "talk" to the other MSA which has all it's ports connected to gbit switches. Is there any possible way this configuration would work by enforcing or tieing the 2 ports of the local MSA to a specific replica set for ex.?

Thanks!

HP MSA2312i (2000i G2 MSA) controller revival?

Hello,

 

I have an old MSA2312i which I want to use for my home lab, but only one controller is working.

We had a controller failure a few years ago, so we got a refurbished controller, only this controller had a newer firmware version and partner firmware update was enabled which I did not know.

So when placing the refurb controller it did a firmware update of the controller which was already in the MSA, without me knowing it was doing this I turned off the MSA which resulted in a somewhat bricked controller.

Does anyone know if it is possible to revive this controller?

Someone on Reddit sugested to use xmodem to send the firmware file to the faulty controller, when the tranfser is complete I get the following message:

I have inherited a MSA2050 set up with two pools. One pool has significant space left (20%) while the other has run out. We are in the process of ordering a new tray of disks, but it will be a couple of months to get through the process. Is there a way to transfer disks between pools, or to just merge two pools together?

MSA 2050-RAID 6, Block-level data striping with double distributed parity, over multiple enclosures

June 6, 2019, 12:08 pm
$
0
0

Good afternoon HPE Community,

Regarding the MSA 2050 Best Practices doc, it states the following: 

“Create disk groups across disk enclosures....HPE recommends striping disk groups across shelf enclosures to enable data integrity in the event of an enclosure failure. A disk group created with RAID 1, 10, 5, or 6 can sustain one or more disk enclosure failures without loss of data depending on RAID type. Disk group configuration should consider MSA drive sparing methods such as global and dynamic sparing.”  

What I can't find anywhere ( (CLI, SMU guides, Siesmic, etc.) are specifics.  Client needs to know how many enclosures they can span a RAID 6 group across.  I can't find any limits/maximums regarding enclosures.  Could one put the maximum RAID 6 disk group of 10 drives across 5 enclosures (2 drives in each)?

Thanks in advance for any guidance, Tim.

P.S. this is an oppty, not currently installed.

Dear all,

we purchased a new msa2050 disk enclosure for connecting existing msa2040 controller enclosure. we wish to connect it online without any downtime but I wish to confirm steps written is correct . The following is my draft on it:

1. rack disk enclosure

2. make sure all disks for msa2050 are inserted

3. power on disk enclosure

4. wait until power on cycle for msa2050 is completed ( 10 mins)

5. plug SAS cables to existing msa2040 controller one by one

6. use GUI to confirm all disks in msa2050 are regconized correctly

Please help to comment, thanks in advance.

Hi

We have a P2000 G3 that has a 'broken' controller but I need some help and advice.  The firmware version is not listed for this product.  Here's the healthy controller and below the 'broken one:

healthy.jpgbroken.jpg

The storage controller code version is T252R10- and -02 for the healthy one, which I cannot find listed anywhere.  Can I upgrade both to the current firmware or should I take a stepped approach.

I appreciate any help and advice you can give, I have inherited this setup.

MSA 2040 with D2700 SAS Expansion Storage Provision

Hello,

We recently installed a D2700 Expansion shelf (25 drives @ 600GB) which is attached to our MSA 2040.

When provisioning the storage for the D2700 is it best to spit the disks up per Pool A and B?  I find that when pool A is running low on space I am unable to borrow space from pool B, I am assuming this is by design.

The MSA (2040) Head Unit was configured using HP best practice guide for VMware environments, Disk Group 1A and Disk Group 1B.

Now with the expansion attached am I basically going to be creating new Disk groups,...Disk Group 2A and Disk Group 2B and associate with their respective Pools? A/B?

Any help in provisioning the expansion would be greatly appreciated.
