https://community.hpe.com/t5/msa-storage/ra4100-msa1500cs-array-migration/m-p/3478373#M8498 <P>We have two existing RA4100 chassis - firmware rev 2.60. Host OS NW6.5, One large array, with 3 logical volumes - raid 5. Identical configuration for both chassis.<BR /><BR />The MSA1000 information states that I can simply move the drives from the RA4100 to an existing MSA1000 power the system up and it will recognize the volumes, I have read the various available documents on the procedure.<BR /><BR />Trying this procedure on our new MSA1500cs, seeing as it's basically a MSA1000 controller doesn't work. The existing array/volumes do not get recognized bye the controller on the MSA1500. I have tried this with two seperate Array sets from two different RA4100's.<BR /><BR /></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>P.S.
