FAQs

Q: What host connectivity does the HPE MSA 2060 LFF support?
A: The HPE MSA 2060 P89059-B25 ships with two 16Gb Fibre Channel controllers, each providing 4 host ports, for a total of 8 FC host ports. This allows high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity to SAN switches and servers in a Fibre Channel environment.

Q: What is the difference between LFF and SFF in the MSA 2060 range?
A: LFF (Large Form Factor) refers to 3.5-inch drive bays, which are suited to high-capacity spinning HDDs for cost-effective bulk storage. SFF (Small Form Factor) uses 2.5-inch bays, accommodating more drives per unit of capacity and enabling greater SSD density. Choose LFF when capacity per dollar is the priority.

Q: Can the HPE MSA 2060 be expanded with additional shelves?
A: Yes. The MSA 2060 supports HPE MSA expansion enclosures connected via SAS expansion ports, allowing additional LFF drive shelves to be added as storage requirements grow — without replacing the controller unit.

Q: Is the HPE MSA 2060 suitable for VMware or Hyper-V virtualisation environments?
A: Yes. The MSA 2060 is certified for use with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and other leading hypervisors. Its dual active-active controllers and 16Gb FC connectivity provide the performance and redundancy required for virtualised workloads.

Q: Does the HPE MSA 2060 support automated storage tiering?
A: Yes. The MSA 2060 supports HPE's automated tiering feature (with the appropriate licence), which automatically moves frequently accessed data to faster SSD tiers and less active data to HDD tiers, optimising both performance and cost without manual data migration.
