28.8TB 2U MSA 2062 rack array

The HPE MSA 2062 P84171-B25 is a 2U rack storage array pre-configured with 28.8TB of hard drives and two 1.92TB SAS SSDs. It targets organisations that need a general-purpose block platform with dual 10/25 GbE iSCSI controllers. Redundant 580W power supplies and a compact 3.5" x 17.5" x 20.0" chassis complete the package. The system ships new and supports Windows Server 2016 through 2022, VMware vSphere 6.7, Red Hat 8 and SLES 15.

Teams needing iSCSI block storage with tiering

This array suits IT teams that want a ready-to-rack system combining high-capacity HDDs and SAS read-cache SSDs under a single management interface. Buyers who require a single-controller entry model or who need Fibre Channel host connectivity should evaluate other platforms. The maximum raw capacity of 1.77 PB with all SFF drives or 2.7 PB in mixed SFF and LFF configurations covers most mid-range growth plans.

Dual 10/25 GbE iSCSI 4-port controllers

The storage controller choice determines whether this array fits the existing network fabric. Two controllers each provide four ports that operate at 10 or 25 GbE, delivering up to eight iSCSI connections for host access. Compatibility with the listed operating systems and hypervisors should be confirmed before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 2 x 10/25 GbE iSCSI 4-port Controllers are online after racking the 2U array?

Check the front-panel controller LEDs; both should show steady green. In the HPE MSA 2062 management GUI confirm each of the four ports per controller reports link-up and that the installed 12 x 2.4TB HDDs and 2 x 1.92TB SAS SSDs appear healthy.

What ships inside the P84171-B25 chassis and what must I source separately?

The box includes the 2U array with 12 x 2.4TB HDDs (28.8TB total), 2 x 1.92TB SAS SSDs, dual 580W redundant power supplies and HPE MSA 10 Gb Short Range iSCSI SFP+ 4-pack Transceivers. You must supply rack rails, power cords and host-side SFP+ cabling.

Which capacity tier suits a workload needing both high IOPS and 28.8TB raw space?

The factory configuration pairs 12 x 2.4TB HDDs for capacity with 2 x 1.92TB SAS SSDs for read acceleration. If your dataset grows beyond 28.8TB, the platform supports expansion to 1.77 PB all-SFF or 2.7 PB mixed SFF/LFF.
