Re: HPE MSA 2050 Warning - Host link down. (port 2)
Have you checked the network connection between your MSA and the switch? Most probably it's caused by an faulty HBA/SFP.
What firmware is your MSA running on? If you rung the command show ports, do you see any degraded/faulty ports?
Hit the Kudo's button to show appreciation or mark as solution if your question was answered.

Re: HPE MSA 2050 Warning - Host link down. (port 2)
You can check below commands,
show system
show ports detail
Mostly one controller Host port 2 link is down. If this is continuously down then you should check network connectivity between this Host port and Switch. If this is direct attach configuration then check Host HBA or NIC card as well. It's possible that SFP or HBA or NIC card issue.
Hope this helps!
