In this article, I would like to share some of the nuances that arise when upgrading an array and updating firmware. īut while no one is in a hurry to decommission old systems, they are ready to serve for more than one year. In 2014, HP released a new line of arrays - the HP MSA 1040/2040, promising to discontinue the old version. Simple, reliable, relatively inexpensive, with an acceptable speed. HP MSA P2000 is HP's popular entry-level disk array (actually Dothill).
