upgrade P2000 G3 from SAS to FC/iSCSI
Hello. We have P2000G3 SAS with all SAS ports occupied by servers. We need to connect more servers to the disk array, will controller upgrade to FC/iSCSI help, and is this upgrade possible ? Do HP have separate FC controllers or all are FC/iSCSI combined ?

HP do have controllers for the P2000 G3 that only have FC host ports.

As or your upgrade I'm not sure about that, so I'll hope somebody else can answer that.

Re: upgrade P2000 G3 from SAS to FC/iSCSI
Upgrde from G1/G2 to G3 with a different protocol (eg. SAS to FC) is supported. However in a single MSA you need to have both controllers of same type.
Here is the link for G2 to G3 upgrade. http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA0-8304ENW.pdf
I would suggest to log a support case with your local HP Support to confirm if you can move from SAS G3 to FC G3 without having to loose data.

Re: upgrade P2000 G3 from SAS to FC/iSCSI
Hello, thanks for help. Local HP reseller said, that new separate controllers will cost as much as new P2000 array system.
