HPE P12949-001 MSA 2060 ISCSI Server Controller

HPE P12949-001 MSA 2060 10Gb iSCSI Storage Controller

The HPE P12949-001 MSA 2060 iSCSI Controller is a replacement storage controller module designed for compatible HPE MSA Gen6 storage arrays. It provides 10Gb Ethernet iSCSI connectivity through SFP+ host interfaces, allowing supported servers to access shared block storage over an IP network.

This controller is particularly useful for businesses maintaining existing HPE MSA 2060 storage systems. Replacing a faulty controller with the correct spare part can help restore the array’s intended redundant configuration without replacing the complete storage enclosure.

HPE P12949-001 Technical Specifications

Important: P12949-001 is identified as a 10Gb SFP+ iSCSI controller. It should not be confused with 10GBASE-T RJ45, Fibre Channel or SAS host controller versions. Confirm the installed controller part number and required transceivers before ordering.

Key Features of HPE P12949-001

• 10Gb iSCSI connectivity: Provides Ethernet-based block storage access for compatible SAN environments.
• Four host ports: Supports multiple host connections and suitable network path configurations.
• Dual-controller architecture: Designed for MSA arrays that use two controllers for redundancy and storage availability.
• Hot-swappable design: Supports controller replacement using the appropriate HPE maintenance procedure.
• 12Gb SAS expansion: Provides an interface for supported MSA drive expansion enclosures.
• Replacement flexibility: Allows businesses to maintain existing storage infrastructure using a matching controller module.

Compatibility with HPE MSA Storage Arrays

The HPE P12949-001 is associated with the MSA 2060 10GbE iSCSI storage family. Compatible system listings include the following configurations:

• HPE MSA 2060 10GbE iSCSI SFF Storage – R0Q76B
• HPE MSA 2062 10GbE iSCSI SFF Storage – R0Q82B

Compatibility with other MSA configurations should be confirmed using the system’s serial number, controller spare part number and HPE service documentation.

The MSA 2060 platform supports dual active/active controllers, with four host ports on each controller. However, the correct controller type, firmware compatibility and network configuration are essential when replacing an existing module.

For further platform information, consult the official HPE MSA 2060 QuickSpecs.

Controller Replacement and Installation

A replacement controller may be required when storage diagnostics identify a controller hardware fault, failed host connectivity or persistent controller-related errors.

Before installation, confirm that P12949-001 matches the existing controller and that the array’s firmware and configuration requirements are satisfied.

Although the MSA platform supports hot-swappable controller modules, replacement must follow HPE’s documented procedure. Check the remaining controller’s health, storage access paths and backup status before carrying out maintenance.

Supply note: Confirm whether SFP+ transceivers, cables or other accessories are included. These items should not be assumed to accompany a replacement controller.

New and Refurbished HPE P12949-001

New: New or unused stock may be suitable for businesses requiring a replacement controller for an existing MSA installation. Confirm the supplied part number, condition and packaging before purchase.

Refurbished: A Refurbished HPE P12949-001 can provide a cost-effective option for maintaining established storage systems. Ask about functional testing, physical condition, firmware compatibility and applicable warranty coverage.

For either condition, confirm the exact included components and any required installation accessories.
