HPE Converged Storage Solutions — Question 25

A customer currently runs MSA 2040 SAS storage system with SFF drives. They are planning a hardware refresh. The customer is using virtual pools only, and is concerned about problematic data migration to the new platform.
How can the update to MSA2050 be performed?

Answer options

• A. Peer migration license must be purchased for the online migration
• B. Peer migration license must be purchased for the offline migration
• C. Existing drives can be moved to the new system; both systems need to be online
• D. Existing drives can be moved to the new system; both systems need to be offline

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because an offline migration necessitates a peer migration license to ensure data integrity during the transfer. Option A is incorrect since it refers to online migration, which isn't applicable here. Options C and D incorrectly suggest that existing drives can be moved while both systems are online or offline; however, the peer migration license is specifically required for an offline migration.
