MSA 2012 add controller

lpuigo — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:55:58 GMT

Hello,

We have a storage HP 2012i Single Controller (only one controller) and We bought an extra controller and want to install and do not know the steps to follow:

- Is the configuration is active-active or active-passive?
- The connection is iscsi, do you need any multipath software on Windows servers?
- anyone has any document about this storage?

Thanks for the help...

Regards

Hi,

1 - the configuration is active/active, volume ownership is assymetrical. But do get a backup of the configuration first. Question I do not know the answer to: should you add it while the system is online or while it's turned off?

2 - do you only have one iSCSI connection at the moment? You would probably need to add another iSCSI target in the iSCSI inititator in Windows.

3 - MSA2012 is an MSA200 G1. Go here, chose "P2000/MSA Disk arrays", then "P2000/MSA2000", then "MSA2000i G1", then "manuals".

Upgrade firmware before.
