Frequently Asked Questions
Controller balance, tested failover and the Botswana lane.
HPE Support in Botswana After End of Life
A dual-controller array where every volume belongs to one controller is not really a dual-controller array. It is a single controller doing all the work with a spare beside it that has never been asked to do anything, and whose condition is therefore unknown at exactly the moment it becomes critical.
Ownership Is Assigned, and Defaults to Whoever Was Asked
Volumes are owned by one controller at a time. That assignment happens at creation, and creating a set of volumes in a single session tends to place them all on whichever controller handled the request. Spreading them across the pair is a deliberate decision that has to be made and revisited as volumes are added. It is easy to skip and nothing complains afterwards.
The idle half is unproven, not merely unused
A controller that has never carried production has never had its cache, its paths or its throughput exercised by anything real. It reports healthy because nothing has asked it for more than a health check. Whether it can actually carry the full load is a question that has never been put to it, and the first time it is put is during a failure.
Failover becomes an untested all-at-once event
On a balanced pair, a failover means one side takes on the other share, and both sides have been demonstrating daily that they work. On an unbalanced one it means an unexercised controller assumes one hundred per cent of the workload instantly. That is a much larger step, taken by the component about which you have the least evidence.
What ICD Supplies for HPE Estates in Botswana
Controllers and canisters for both sides of a pair, MSA shelves rated for the disks going in, drives in the tray the enclosure reads, ProLiant chassis and boards, cache and energy modules for each controller, and memory set out as the generation specifies. Shipments to Botswana take 5 to 8 days from Cairo under the Southern Africa card. Everything is proven under load, serial-recorded, and warranted one to three years.
