Hi,
Also I would like to check what type of DG you are planning to create with SSD?Virtual or linear?
Because MSA 2040 supports both linear and virtual storage.
You can still use SSD drives to create linear Dg without license,but in the web gui the default option selected is virtual.
Conslusion woulde be if you cant to create virtual dg with ssd you need the tiering license i mentioned.
For linear dg with ssd ,while creating you need to make sure you select the type as Linear.
Thanks
