What changes at EOSL
The MSA 2042 keeps working. HPE just stops answering.
End of service life is the date HPE stops selling support contracts for the MSA 2042. It is a commercial decision, not a technical one. The storage still runs, its failure modes are well documented, and spares are available on the secondary market.
We keep MSA 2042 spares in stock and support the platform for 3 to 5+ years past April 30, 2023 with in-house L3+ engineers 24/7/365, a 4-hour on-site SLA, and month-to-month terms. Most customers use that window to refresh on their own schedule instead of HPE's.
