Re: Hardware compatibility - HP server & SAN MSA1000
I want to change the servers to "improve", not because are damaged, so I´m trying to find newer server models than G5 which are compatible with this SAN.Best regards.

Question is if you want to stay wth this old equipment or if you want really new systems (like Gen9 and Gen10 servers). In this case you should consider a MSA1000 or MSA2000 in G5. (MSA1050/MSA2050).

I know that is an old infrastructure. We want to keep MSA1000 and try to improve server infrastructure.I also know that Gen9 or Gen10 are better servers, but if they aren´t compatible with MSA1000,...

G is generation, so G2 is older than G3 and so on ... current is Gen10.AFAIK oldest supported generation is currently G7.

Thanks a lot for your response.As of now, there is a single host writing into those mount points(in future, two host would write). It is not a VM. We checked the speed using 'dd' command & found...

Looking through the logs, the array currently looks healthy (though I am not a tech supprot engineer). You have 24 x 2TB NL disks. The disks are broken up into two linear vdisks with a variety of...

Also, for what it's worth, the firmware is quite old. GL225R003 is the most current and can be found herehttp://h41111.www4.hpe.com/storage/msafirmware.html

Your analysis is 100% correct. Due to some network issues, other host is kept disabled. Hence, all data is getting written from Controller A. Workload has not changed. No data fragmentation was...

Can you share the steps to upgrade the firmware? Is it possible to upgrade the firmware wih production live or I need to take the downtime?

I gurantee that the MSA management IP's will respond to a ping. Something is funky in your network setup. If you plug your laptop into a switch port ont the same VLAN and give it an IP on the same...

The firmware update can be done online so long as host has working paths to both controller A and B. There may be some performance degradation during the upgrade, and for a little while after the...

Hi Mike, thanks yes hence the direct connect working. I am back onsite this morning so will connect to the sae VLAN and give that a try.

Hi Mike, seems like a problem with the range of ports last configured on the VLAN, the on eI moved it to last night was in that group. If I move the MSA to a port configured previously, it is pingable...

Great, so sounds like you've narrowed it down to something on the switch; good to know. The MSA shouldn't give you any trouble with what you are trying to do. I would suggest going with static IP's on...
