FAQs

Q: What host connectivity does the HPE MSA 2072 10GBase-T iSCSI support?
A: The MSA 2072 10GBase-T model connects to hosts via standard copper Ethernet using the iSCSI protocol at 10 Gigabit speeds. This eliminates the need for dedicated Fibre Channel HBAs, allowing connection through standard 10GbE NICs and switches.

A: The MSA 2072 SFF (Small Form Factor) chassis supports up to 24 x 2.5-inch SFF drives. You can mix SAS HDDs and SSDs to create tiered storage volumes for performance and capacity optimisation.

Q: Does the MSA 2072 support high availability?
A: Yes. The MSA 2072 features dual active-active controllers with automatic failover. If one controller fails, the other takes over seamlessly, protecting against single points of failure for mission-critical data.

Q: Is the HPE MSA 2072 suitable for virtualisation environments?
A: Yes. The MSA 2072 is validated for use with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and other leading hypervisors, making it well-suited as shared block storage for virtualised server environments in SMB and branch office deployments.

Q: Can the MSA 2072 be expanded with additional storage capacity?
A: Yes. The MSA 2072 can be expanded by attaching HPE MSA-compatible disk enclosures, allowing you to grow raw capacity as your storage needs increase without replacing the controllers.
