Questions & Answers
What is the HP MSA 2040 LFF JBOD?
The HP MSA 2040 LFF JBOD is a high-density, disk-only expansion enclosure designed to add up to 12 large form factor (3.5-inch) drives to an existing MSA 2040 SAN array for scalable capacity.
Which drive types and capacities are supported?
The enclosure supports up to 12 LFF SAS or NL-SAS HDDs in capacities up to 8TB each, providing a maximum raw expansion of 96TB per JBOD.
How do I connect the JBOD to my MSA 2040 array?
Connectivity is via four mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) ports, requiring MSA 2040 host and expansion SAS cables to attach the JBOD seamlessly to the main array.
What RAID levels can I configure on expanded storage?
When attached to an MSA 2040, expansions inherit the array’s RAID support, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10, for optimal performance and data protection.
How is data protection handled in a JBOD setup?
Data protection is managed by the MSA 2040 controller; the JBOD provides raw capacity while RAID and snapshot features remain on the primary array for redundancy.
Can I mix HDD and SSD drives in the JBOD?
HP recommends using uniform drive types per enclosure; mixing HDDs and SSDs in the same JBOD can affect performance consistency and is not supported.
How many JBOD enclosures can the MSA 2040 support?
Each MSA 2040 controller pair supports up to two expansion enclosures, allowing up to 24 additional drives per array for a total of 36 drives.
What performance can I expect from the HP MSA 2040 LFF JBOD?
Performance scales with drive type and RAID level; typical sequential throughput exceeds 4 GB/s with 12x 7.2K RPM SATA drives, and IOPS increase with faster SAS disks.
How do I manage and monitor the JBOD?
Management and monitoring are centralized through the MSA 2040’s web GUI, CLI or RESTful API, providing drive health, capacity usage and predictive analytics.
What are the power and cooling requirements?
The enclosure includes dual hot-plug 460W PSUs and variable-speed fans; typical power consumption is 150W idle, with a recommended rack temperature of 10–35°C.
Is the JBOD compatible with virtualization platforms?
Yes, when connected to an MSA 2040 array, the JBOD is fully certified for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer environments.
How do I expand storage capacity safely?
Install the JBOD, connect mini-SAS HD cables to the MSA 2040, power on, and use the array’s expand wizard to integrate new drives without downtime.
What environmental standards does it meet?
The HP MSA 2040 LFF JBOD is RoHS and WEEE compliant, ENERGY STAR certified, and designed for enterprise datacenter conditions with 5–95% non-condensing humidity.
What warranty and support options are available?
It includes a one-year warranty with next-business-day onsite service; extended HP Care Pack and Proactive Care options are available for 3–5 year coverage.
How does this JBOD help reduce total cost of ownership?
By leveraging existing MSA 2040 controllers, the JBOD delivers cost-effective capacity expansion without additional controller licenses, reducing power, cooling and space expenses.
Can I migrate drives between enclosures?
Drives can be moved between JBODs connected to the same MSA 2040 without reformatting, ensuring seamless data availability and simplified capacity rebalancing.
