HPE Storage Integration Pack for VMware vCenter with MSA 2040

[NKretschmar]

Hi all,

I am starting to play with "HPE Storage Integration Pack for VMware vCenter 10.1" and started to add a couple of our on-prem storagy arrays.

I did have no issues with 3PAR nodes (7400 and 8450) and also I did have no issues adding a MSA2050 but ran into a problem while adding a MSA2040.

It was showing me a certificate warning as I connect to the MSA2040 but once I accepted it it ended the Add action with following error:

Unable to connect to the storage system.
Unable to connect to storage system <name of our MSA2040>. Verify that the correct credentials are used and check the connectivity between the appliance and storage system.

I was discovering documentation from SIP4VC but was not able find any references, that the MSA2040 is not supported.

Any suggestions what is the reason?

I am able to answer my question by myself, as I was founding the information in the related HPE SPOCK document. Saying, MSA2040 or earlier are NOT supported by SIP4VC. And I am sure, this will never happen.
