P800 Controller replacement

Mike225 — Fri, 30 Dec 2016 14:59:12 GMT

I have a p800 controller which is plugged into 2 MSA60 appliances.

I understand that the drive size limitation of 2.2TB is determined by the controller. What would be a controller I should move to that would still allow me to use the MSA60 appliances?

Thanks,

Mike

What server model?

Not sure what the max. size is, but quicksepcs for P800 say

Logical Drives Supported
Up to 32 logical drives
NOTE: Supports greater than 2 TB logical drives.

HP Smart Array P400/P400i/P800 Controllers - Maximum Logical Drive Size Capability Has Been Increased From 2.2 Terabytes (TB) To 8 Zettabytes (ZB)

Should be large enough ... :-)
