https://community.hpe.com/t5/msa-storage/msa-1500-cs-active-active/m-p/747037#M2879 Hello<BR /> <BR /> I've just implemented this week a new MSA 1500 CS with a Active/Active Config.<BR /> <BR /> 1. What are the differences between this and older active/passive configs? Are there any white papers?<BR /> 2. Do i need to upgrade the firmware and all of the HBA's to the latest versions? The controllers firmware is now at 5.10.B.414<BR /> <BR /> Thanks!<BR /> Eric<BR /> Netherlands Wed, 31 Jan 2007 17:07:40 GMT Eric van Willegen 2007-01-31T17:07:40Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/msa-storage/msa-1500-cs-active-active/m-p/747037#M2879 Hello<BR /> <BR /> I've just implemented this week a new MSA 1500 CS with a Active/Active Config.<BR /> <BR /> 1.

That means you can have different I/O running through both controllers. Configuring this is a manual process using the MSA CLI tool. fw 6.86 is the 1st to take advantage of act-act contrlrs. I have not tested this yet but will before we use it, mainly to see what, if any events are generated for operational notification and troubleshooting.
