The HPE MSA 2060 Storage is an affordable, flash-ready hybrid storage system designed for small to medium-sized businesses and remote office deployments. Its key benefit is hands-free application acceleration, capable of delivering up to 395,000 IOPS. A potential caveat is that while it's designed for IT generalists, advanced configuration may still benefit from specialized knowledge. Key features include automated tiering, virtual snapshot technology, and a flexible modular architecture supporting a mix of drive types.

The HPE MSA 2060 can support a maximum of 2160 TB when fully expanded with up to 9 expansion enclosures and appropriately sized drives.
The HPE MSA 2060 is designed with 'Set It And Forget It' data services and an intuitive management utility, making it manageable even for IT generalists. However, complex configurations or troubleshooting may benefit from specialized knowledge.
Yes, the HPE MSA 2060 is a hybrid storage system that supports a mixture of Solid-State Drives (SSDs) and SAS Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), including Enterprise SAS and Midline SAS, allowing for flexible configuration.
The HPE MSA 2060 supports host connectivity via Fibre Channel (FC) or iSCSI.
No, the HPE MSA 2060 is typically sold without installed storage drives. You need to purchase and install your desired HDDs and/or SSDs separately.
Automated tiering dynamically monitors data usage and automatically moves frequently accessed 'hot' data to faster storage media (like SSDs) and less frequently accessed 'cold' data to slower, higher-capacity media (like HDDs) in real-time, optimizing performance and cost.
Virtualized snapshot technology allows you to create point-in-time copies of your data volumes, which can be used for quick backups and rapid data recovery in case of data loss or corruption.
Ensure both power cords are securely connected to the device and a functioning power outlet. Check the power supply unit status indicator lights.
Verify that hot data is being appropriately tiered to SSDs. Check for any disk errors or drive failures using the management utility. Ensure host connections are optimal and not saturated.
Confirm that the host initiators are correctly configured and logged into the MSA 2060. Check the LUN masking and mapping settings within the Storage Management Utility.
Ensure sufficient free space is available on the storage volumes. Verify that the snapshot configuration is correct and that no other processes are interfering with snapshot operations.
Setup: The HPE MSA 2060 is designed for straightforward installation, even for IT generalists. It typically involves racking the 2U chassis, installing the required SAS HDDs and/or SSDs into the drive bays, connecting host interfaces (SAS, FC, or iSCSI), and connecting power. The intuitive Storage Management Utility guides users through initial configuration and drive setup.
Compatibility: This storage array supports a mix of 3.5-inch LFF (Large Form Factor) and 2.5-inch SFF (Small Form Factor) expansion enclosures, allowing for a flexible build-out up to a total of 10 enclosures. It is compatible with both SSDs and SAS HDDs (Enterprise and Midline). Host connectivity options include Fibre Channel (FC) and iSCSI.
Care: Regular maintenance involves monitoring drive health via the management utility and ensuring adequate ventilation within the rack. Keep the unit clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals. Firmware updates, when available, should be applied following HPE's recommended procedures to maintain performance and security.
