This notice announces the release of controller firmware VE270P002-02 for HPE MSA 1050 Storage Systems and VL270P002-02 for HPE MSA 2050 and 2052 Storage systems.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise highly recommends upgrading HPE MSA 1050 Storage systems to firmware version VE270P002-02 and HPE MSA 2050 and 2052 Storage systems to firmware version VL270P002-02. It is also recommended to upgrade other application software that may be compatible.

To effectively monitor the health of the MSA array, it is a best practice to:
Enable notifications through SNMP, email, or syslog settings in the user interfaces.
Set alerts to a Warning level to ensure that you are monitoring your system for possible failures.
Perform validation of notification settings periodically after firmware load or component replacement to guard against changes in infrastructure or configuration settings.
