Re: MSA 2050 linear config
Unfortunately (and this is dangerous for a pre-sales) the MSA QuickSpecs document does not talk about this limitation.
When you go to configure a storage on OCA tool it gives an orange warning - not red.
Thanks for this warning.

MSA 2050 AND 2060 VMware integration
Can someone help me with following VMware integration for MSA 2050 and MSA 2060
MSA 2050 - VAAI

Thanks

Re: MSA 2050 linear config
As per my understanding it's mentioned in Quickspec as below,
https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/getdocument.aspx?docname=a00008276enw (page no 7)
"Configurations which have a mixture of both SSDs and HDDs within the same system being used as a capacity Tier (excluding SSD Read Cache), will require the Advanced Data Service Suite LTU. This rule applies to the system level and therefore the license is required regardless of whether the drives are configured for auto-tiering within the same Pool. All SSD configurations and SSD Read Cache extension do not require a license on the MSA2050 array."
Hope this helps!

Re: can you please tell me how much space i have from the screen below ( storage HP MSA)
Need some information,
>> MSA model and controller firmware version
>> Each pool how many Virtual Disk Group(VDG) present and what are the size details of each VDG.
>> You have mentioned 7 volumes in Pool A and 9 volumes in Pool B but not mentioned thin provision size of each volume.
Try to provide actual screenshot of Pool usage, VDG and Volume usage from SMU. Also below command outputs,
show pools
show disk-groups pool A
show volumes pool A
show disk-groups pool B
show volumes pool B
Hope this helps!

Re: Servers not able to see MSA1050 hosted SAS Volumes
disk management didn't show the MSA disks at all. however they do show in the storage pool of File and Storage Services.
as there was only one storage pool created the MSA disks automatically added to that storage pool. this caused a problem because the virtual disks that were shared across my storage pool cluster re-scanned to accomodate the new space and then became inaccessible to the cluster
.
Now i can't delete the MSA disks from the Pool so have had to delete the volumes, then move the MSA disks to primordial and then start again with the S2D cluster.
↧
Re: Servers not able to see MSA1050 hosted SAS Volumes
thanks for replying. as i want to use the MSA disks as pass through on the hyper V hosts that i'm configuring them on i don't want to set them online here but on the VMs that they are to be attached to. they appear in File and Storage services but not Disk Management
↧

Re: Servers not able to see MSA1050 hosted SAS Volumes
Thanks Sabhajit,
i used the powershell command:
Get-StorageSubSystem Cluster* | Set-StorageHealthSetting -Name "System.Storage.PhysicalDisk.AutoPool.Enabled" -Value False
i gather this stops the pool from auto selecting physical disks.
the MSA disks are now in the primordial pool and are appearing in disk management
i followed your instructions for installing MPIO but still don't get see the MPIO tab on the MSA disk properties.
are there any other steps i need to take under MPIO properties?
↧
Re: Servers not able to see MSA1050 hosted SAS Volumes
We can see that volumes can be seen from disk management which means one part of the issue is resolved now. You can right click and make them online.
Regarding MPIO you can follow instructions from page page 28 onwards,

MSA 2050 SNMP Monitoring
Hello Community, we would like monitor our MSA 2050 through our nagios monitoring via snmp. But wenn i try an snmpwalk from our monitoring host to our MSA, i only get Timeout: No Response from -MSA-IP- In the SNMP settings i only can configure traphosts and communitys for read and write access. In System Settings / Services the SNMP service is enabled. So whats the secret to get a response from our MSA via snmpwalk ? MSA 2050 version : VL270R001-01 Thanx and greets Tom

Re: MSA 2050 SNMP Monitoring
Hi Tom,
What SNMP version are you using? Note that MSA SNMP traps are sent over port 162.
If you're using SNMPv3 this might help: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-a00088574en_us
Cheers,
Dardan

Re: MSA 2050 SNMP Monitoring
Hi Dardan,
Our monitoring does not recieve traps, so we dont wanne use them.
We just wanna query the snmpd agent on the msa. Is this also possible?
On the monitoring host we tried it with
snmpwalk -c COMMUNTIY -v2c -MSA-IP-
and
snmpwalk -c COMMUNTIY -v1 -MSA-IP-
without luck.
greets Tom

Re: MSA 2050 SNMP Monitoring
Tried the following against a MSA 2050 (VL270P003-01) and it works:
snmpwalk -r: <IP MSA> -c:"COMMUNITY_STRING" -v:2c -p:161
snmpwalk -r: <IP MSA> -c:"COMMUNITY_STRING" -v:2c
snmpwalk -r: <IP MSA> -c:"COMMUNITY_STRING" -v:1
P.S. Using net-snmp for Windows.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is Enabled
Read and Write Community are defined under SNMP section.

Re: Servers not able to see MSA1050 hosted SAS Volumes
Now that the MSA SAS disks are showing in Primordial pool i can recreate the Cluster. i don't want to use the disks in the S2D cluster because S2D doesn't accept them. 'Supported media types are SCM, SSD and HDD.'
However when i run S2D cluster validation i get errors about the SAS disks. and when i create the Cluster and try to enable clusters2d i get errors:
WARNING: 2020/10/22-15:37:07.320 Disk number 7 ({cfaffe09-11d6-a9ba-a69d-55fd1e72d766}, friendly name 'HPE MSA 1050 SAS') on node <server1> has unsupported media type

please can you tell me how to set the MSA SAS disks so that they are not to be used for S2D?
do i use switches to skip the disk checking or set the MSA disks so they're not available somhow?

Re: Servers not able to see MSA1050 hosted SAS Volumes
Not much idea about S2D or Software Defined Storage Solution but you can check below links to get details,

MSA2040 SAS dual Controller - Performance question
Hello,
Q1: if I configure all drives into 4 x 10disk-raid6 disk-groupes, and put them all together into the same "virtual pool - Storage A" >> will this virtual pool ( storage A ) be accessed with active/active over both SAS Ports A/B ?
Q2: if i have the above config, is the attached D2700 enclosure accessed over both Controllers A/B, active/active ?
Q3: finally is "storage A" related to Controller/SAS-port A and does only do failover to Controller/SAS-port B in case of error, or are both paths active/active ?
Q4: would there be any benefit from 4 x 10disk-raid6 disk-groupes vs 8 x 6disk-raid6 disk-groupes ( all in one virtual Pool )
Mfg
Norman
