A customer currently runs MSA 2040 SAS storage system with SFF drives. They are planning a hardware refresh. The customer is using virtual pools only, and is concerned about problematic data migration to the new platform.
How can the update to MSA2050 be performed?
The update to MSA2050 can be performed by moving the existing drives to the new system, with both systems needing to be offline. This is because during the hardware upgrade, the entire storage system must be powered down to replace the array enclosures and move the drives safely, ensuring data integrity throughout the process.
Additional info Important • The HPE MSA 1050/2050/2052 storage system only supports Virtual Disk Groups. If you have existing Linear Disk Group that you need preserved, go to the section entitled “Preserving Linear Data” before continuing the upgrade. • During the upgrade, the storage system will be powered down and all HPE MSA 1040/2040/2042 array enclosures will be replaced with HPE MSA 1050/2050/2052 array enclosures. • Existing drives will be removed from the HPE MSA 1040/1050/2040/2042 array enclosure and placed in the new HPE MSA https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00015116enw?jumpid=in_lit-psnow-red Page 7
