Info
This notice announces the release of controller firmware IN100P001 for HPE MSA 1060, 2060, and 2062 Storage systems.
This is a general availability (GA) patch release for the following HPE MSA Storage systems:
MSA 1060 Storage System
MSA 2060 Storage System
MSA 2062 Storage System
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends upgrading HPE MSA 1060, 2060, and 2062 Storage systems to firmware version IN100P001. It is also recommended to upgrade other application software that may be compatible.
NOTE
: Version IN100P001 supersedes version IN100R003.
The MSA 1060, 2060, and 2062 array controller enclosures support the cascading of disk enclosures. The recommended MSA 2060 Disk Enclosure firmware is 5321. Firmware updates can be aligned to the bundle by reapplying the firmware that is resident on the controller. Reference the
HPE MSA 1060/2060/2062 Storage Management Guide
for instructions on applying firmware.
HPE MSA notification best practices
To effectively monitor the health of the HPE MSA array, it is a best practice to:
Enable notifications through SNMP, email, or syslog settings in the user interfaces.
Set the alert notification level to
All
and the notification level to
Warning
to ensure that you are monitoring your system for possible failures.
Perform periodical validation of notification settings after firmware load or component replacement to guard against changes in infrastructure or configuration settings.
MSA Health Check Tool
Maintaining the health of an MSA ensures that maximal performance is continuously available. Any component of the array that is signaling poor health status can degrade the health of the array and affect array performance.
To obtain a complete diagnostic profile of an HPE MSA storage configuration, obtain array logs from the MSA and submit them through the
HPE MSA Storage Health Check tool
. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends resolving any issues that are found, prior to reassessing array performance.
For information about operating systems supported by the HPE MSA arrays, see the
HPE Storage Single Point Of Connectivity Knowledge
(SPOCK) website.
