HPE MSA 2060 56TB rack array

The HPE MSA 2060 P84174-B25 is a 2U rack storage array delivering 56TB of raw capacity across seven 8TB 7.2K LFF hard disk drives. It targets organisations needing a general-purpose block storage platform that fits in a standard 2U rack space and connects via iSCSI.

Sustained load with dual 10/25 GbE controllers

Two 10/25 GbE iSCSI 4-port controllers provide active-active path redundancy so throughput remains stable during extended backup windows or database scans. Four 10 Gb iSCSI SFP+ transceivers are included, allowing immediate link-up to existing 10 GbE fabrics without extra optics.

Dual 580W redundant supplies for thermal stability

Two hot-plug 580W power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails or is removed for maintenance. The redundant design limits temperature rise in the 2U chassis and avoids single-point power loss during routine firmware updates or drive replacements.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 580W supplies draw when the array runs continuously?

The system includes two redundant 580W power supplies; actual draw depends on drive activity and controller load, so plan for up to the rated capacity per supply.

Which host interfaces must my servers already provide to connect to the 10/25 GbE iSCSI controllers?

The array presents four 10 Gb iSCSI SFP+ ports per controller, so each host needs compatible 10 GbE SFP+ NICs or a 10/25 GbE adapter with appropriate cabling.

Can the 7.2K LFF drives be managed by an existing MSA 2060 controller shelf?

The installed drives are designed for this MSA 2060 platform; they can be used with another MSA 2060 controller shelf that supports 7.2K LFF media.
