Questions & Answers
What is HP MSA 2040 Performance Auto Tiering LTU?
HP MSA 2040 Performance Auto Tiering LTU (SKU D4T79A) is a license key upgrade that enables automated data placement across SSD, SAS, and NL-SAS tiers to optimize performance and cost efficiency on an MSA 2040 storage array.
How does auto-tiering improve MSA 2040 performance?
Auto-tiering dynamically moves hot data to high-performance tiers (SSD) and cold data to lower-cost tiers (SAS/NL-SAS), reducing I/O latency and maximizing overall array throughput without manual intervention.
Which MSA 2040 models support this auto-tiering license?
The Performance Auto Tiering LTU is compatible with all HP MSA 2040 SAN arrays, including dual-controller base, hybrid, and all-flash configurations running the latest MSA OS firmware.
Is the Performance Auto Tiering LTU a perpetual license?
Yes, the HP MSA 2040 Performance Auto Tiering LTU is sold as a perpetual license, granting unlimited use for the life of the array without recurring fees.
How do I activate the D4T79A license on my MSA 2040?
Log in to the HP MSA 2040 Group Configuration Utility, navigate to ‘Licensing’, enter the D4T79A entitlement key, and click ‘Activate’ to enable auto-tiering features immediately.
Does auto-tiering require downtime to enable?
No, enabling the Performance Auto Tiering LTU on a live MSA 2040 array does not disrupt data access; tiering policies apply dynamically without host downtime.
What storage tiers are supported by this license?
The license supports three tiers: SSD for high-performance workloads, SAS 10K/15K for general-purpose tasks, and NL-SAS for capacity-optimized, lower-cost archiving.
Can I customize tiering policies with this license?
Yes, you can define hot-data thresholds, monitoring intervals, and maximum data movement rates to tailor auto-tiering behavior to your workload requirements.
How much performance gain can I expect?
Typical deployments see up to 3× I/O performance improvement on mixed workloads by ensuring latency-sensitive data resides on the fastest SSD tier.
Are firmware updates required for auto-tiering?
HP recommends updating your MSA OS to the latest version to ensure full compatibility with auto-tiering features and to leverage performance enhancements.
Does the license include technical support?
The LTU license itself does not include support; you must have an active HP Care Pack or support contract on the MSA 2040 array to receive firmware updates and technical assistance.
Can I upgrade from a basic tiering license?
Yes, you can purchase the D4T79A LTU to upgrade any existing basic tiering license to performance-optimized auto-tiering on your MSA 2040.
How is auto-tiering usage reported?
Performance Auto Tiering usage and data movement statistics are available in the Group Configuration Utility’s reporting dashboard, providing detailed tier-level analytics.
Is this license transferable to another array?
No, D4T79A is tied to the specific MSA 2040 array serial number at activation and cannot be transferred to a different unit.
Where can I purchase the HP MSA 2040 Performance Auto Tiering LTU?
You can order SKU D4T79A through authorized HP Enterprise resellers, the HPE online store, or by contacting your local HP sales representative.
