MSL8096 replace the cleaning tapes
We have a tape library, MSL8096 and MSL4048 which we’ve had for years. The problem I am having, is I need to replace the cleaning tapes, however, the person who setup the library is no longer here, and we do not know the front panel code to get into the library. Is there anyway to reset it, or is there a master code I can get in with?

Node keeps crashing every 10-15+ days
Hello,
Recently we have purchased failover cluster with two nodes.
2x HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 8SFF
1x HPE MSA 2052 SAS Dual Controller SFF Storage
Network between nodes and storage
2x Aruba 2930F 8G PoE+ 2SFP+ Switch
Every 10-15+ days Node01 restarts itself without me knowing why.
All virtual machines that were currently on that node were not transfered to Node02, they just shutdown.
Node02 works perfectly, no errors, all VM-s located on Note02 are without error.
Node01 - iLO for that period:
Now this is from Event Log from that period:
This is from Failover Cluster Event Log from that period:
Now for this last image I took screenshot only of one error, but here is each error for each VM that was running on Node01 during that time:

Smart Array HBA Cache setting with P408e-p 4Gb Cache (804405-B21) and MSA 2050 SAS (Q1J29A) Array?
Hi,
Struggling to clarify, from the MSA product documentation, how the Smart Array HBA cache needs to be configured (i.e. Disabled/Read Only/etc) for shared volumes presented out of a MSA 2050 SAS array?
Simple 3 server setup (2 VMware ESXi 6.7 hosts and 1 Windows 2016 Veeam host) sharing VMFS 6 volumes from the MSA 2050 SAS.
Any help will be appreciated.

Connecting new host to MSA 2050 without loosing data.
I have an HP MSA 2050 storage that is already configured on one host via FC interface and I am using it on Redhat servers with Ext4 partition formatting done on the MSA partitions.
But, as per my new requirements, I need to connect my another server to same HP MSA 2050 in order to access the partitions on both servers simultaneously.
Is it possible to connect a new server (new host) to the MSA 2050 without losing my partitions format & data?
I had read somewhere that adding new host requires re-configuration of LUN & indeed the disk partitions. Just want a confirmation whether is it safe to add new host without losing any partition format & data?
Any help is appreciated.

2 or 3 volumes with MSA 2050 and ESXi 6.7
Hi,
I plan to create 3 volumes on MSA 2050 SAN controller with ESXi 6.7. Jsut have only one disk group. One volume is for OS image, the 2nd is for data, the last one is for file sharing. The connector between MSA and ESXis is FC HBA dual ports. I'm not sute what is the best strategy to create a volume in MSA to meet with my requirement above or other way suggestion, please.
Note: why have to create 3 volumes, I would like to take an easy way or benefit in backup data.
Thanks.

MSA 2052 and Windows Server 2016
Hi guys,
I'm not sure whether to ask this on an HPE or Microsoft forum. Hope I'll get some help.
I'm virtualizing and clustering two HPE servers, and a MSA SAN. When creating Hyper-V VMs, should I host all VMs on the same volume/LUN, or create a volume for each VM created? The later preferably in case i need to restore a specific VM from a snapshot, or there's something I'm missing.

HP MSA 1040 Disk Expansion help
Hi All, we have an MSA 1040 SAN that hosts are on primisis exchange DB. We purchased a drive the same size (900GB SAS) to add to the SAN to expand that raid 5 array as it is nearly at full capacity. I added the drive to the SAN and allocated it to the exchange v Disk and it showing as available free space; my problem is I am unable to expand the volume. The Expand Volume option under the Tools menu is just greyed out. Can anyone over any assistance with that?
Thanks

MSA 1040
I work in a repair Depot and my company fielded 200 of the MSA 1040 data storage arrays last year, I am not familiar with the unit at all and need to develope a comprehenive testing procedure for units being returned from the field with supposed faults. Any Ideas ? Also I need to return the Unit back to stock with erased drives (not secure erase) just wiped, I was thinking by just rebuilding the array this would accomplish that?

P2000 G3: adding a new disk as spare fails
Hallo,
after I replaced a failed disk in the P2000 G3, I'm not able to defined the new disk a spare. Everytime I try to assign the disk a spare (select vdisk use manu Configuration > Manage Dedicated Spares) the procedure finished successfully (Message text: The vdisk spare settings were modified successfully.) and the disk is shown as "Spare".
But a few seconds later, the status if teh disk reverts back to AVAIL.
This is the same if I perform this action with the cli command (set spares disks 2.25 vdisk VDISK_D)
Attached you find the Event Log.
Any suggestions?
I do not see anything wrong.
kind regards Bernd

HP P6000 Control Panel
Доброго времени суток. Закрылась 2я компания, от нее достались 4 комплекта контроллеров с полками.
К моей глупости и по незнанию, сделал сброс контроллера. позже выяснил что теперь у меня нет лицензии на использование HP P6000 Command View. Вопрос, можно ли как то восстановить работоспособность системы? на сайтах копался, нужны номера соглашения и так далее, их нет, в наличии есть только счета от компании которая продавала и серийные номера устройств. компания поставщик закрылась.
снизу зияет данная надпись:
License Alerts:
HP P6000 Command View, HP P6000 Business Copy, HP P6000 Continuous Access and HP P6000 Thin Provisioning require a valid license key configuration to be in compliance with the end-user-license-agreement (EULA). See online help for more details.
→ This system does not have an HP P6000 Command View General License

Critical Firmware Upgrade Required For Certain MSA SAS Solid State Drive (SSD) Models
Good day MSA Community. I wanted to make you aware of a critical firmware update required for certain MSA SAS solid state drive (SSD) models to prevent drive failure at 32,768 hours of operation. This issue affects any of the following SAS SSD models running a drive firmware version earlier than HPD8 and installed in an HPE MSA Storage array:
HPE Model Number | Model Description |
MO0400JFFCF | HPE MSA 400GB 12G SAS MIXED USE SSD |
MO0800JFFCH | HPE MSA 800GB 12G SAS MIXED USE SSD |
MO1600JFFCK | HPE MSA 1.6TB 12G SAS MIXED USE SSD |
MO3200JFFCL | HPE MSA 3.2TB 12G SAS MIXED USE SSD |
HPE was notified by a Solid State Drive (SSD) supplier of a firmware defect affecting certain SAS models listed in the table above.
A critical firmware upgrade is required for certain MSA SAS solid state drive (SSD) models to prevent drive failure at 32,768 hours of operation. HPD8 firmware is considered a critical fix and is required to address this issue. HPE strongly recommends the immediate application of this critical fix.
Please reference the Customer Bulletin for more details on how to determine which drive models are configured in the HPE MSA Storage array and how to determine drive power-on hours for an HPE MSA drive.
Resolution: Immediately upgrade the drive firmware to version HPD8. Obtain HPD8 for HPE MSA SSDs from one of the following links:
MSA Windows link or MSA Linux link

Allocated snapshot space exceeded the configured limit
Just started replication between local & remote site - both MSA2052s
The remote site will be used 80% for DR purposes. Therefore 80% of the space on the remote MSA2052 will be used for repliction volumes.
The volumes are set to 4Tb at the source MSA2052. I have been running the initial sync at the source end but now received
Allocated snapshot space exceeded the configured limit error messages - However replication still seems to be running. At the remote site the settings are.
We have 1 pool with 21.5Tb in size - Free 16.5Tb.
Pool overcommit is set to True
low threshold - 50% Medium Threshold - 75% High Threshold - 99%
allocated pages - 1154195
snapshot pages - 576044
available pages - 3990718
Do I need to modify settings?
Given that I will need to enable replication on another 2 * 4Tb volumes at the source site soon.

What are the methods to find SSDs?
Hello. Our shop has over 500 phyical servers. What are the methods we could use to find these SSDs? OneView's reports don't seem to help. iLO shows the model numbers, so is there a script to poll our servers for the affected disks? Are some other ways?
Thanks,
Dan
