MSA2000 G3 FC - P2000 FC

[adelgado]

Hello, I have a MSAP2000 G3 FC connected to 2 ESXi via FC, everyone ESXI is connected to each controller on the MSA2000, for redundancy.

Now, I've bought 2 StorageWorks 8/24 FC switch, that I want to use with the MSA2000 and three ESXI, 2 of them are the ones that are already connected directly to the MSA via FC.

My doubt is regarding the LUN's that I already have configured on those 2 ESXI, that are from MSA2000.

If I connect the MSA2000 to both StorageWorks and the ESXi also to both StorageWorks, would I lose the LUN's, or will them be visible as before?

Thanks a lot,

No problem.

The LUNs stay intact.

You can do it also online, first change one Port (rescan), then the other.

You have to reconfigure the MSA  Port for the Switch (Loop - Point) connection.

... since you are about the handle the switch firmware right now (your other thread), don't forget to check the P2000 too, current version is TS252P001.

Hi Torsten,

Yes, I have to check it also.

Hi Torsten,

Do I have to be in a specific version to upgrade to the last one?

I've read it says:

NOTE: Please upgrade all your arrays to TS250 or latest released firmware version before going with TS252 flashing.

How do I know wich version I am on? On Enclosure View, I see a line with this information:

EMP A Revision 2023

EMP B Revision 2023

I can't figure out how to link it to TSxxx.

Regards,
