Replace MSA2012 controllers with P2000 G3 controllers

Hi!

I'm just wondering if it is possible to "upgrade" a 2012 to P2000 G3 by simply replacing the controllers.

Regards

Yes, it is possible to upgrade an MSA2000 storage system by replacing its controllers with P2000 G3

controllers. Refer below link and click on white paper “Upgrading the HP MSA2000 G2 to the P2000 G3 MSA.”

if this link does not work , use http://www.hp.com/go/p2000 , click Resource Library, click all white papers and view the white paper “Upgrading the HP MSA2000 G2 to the P2000 G3 MSA.”

Isn't this a destructive upgrade where after replacing the controllers you lose all data and must completely re-configure the SAN???

Thank you, Tom
