MSA2212fc question

Vadood — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 06:08:01 GMT

Hi,

I have a MSA2212fc device, which I want to expand its storage capacity. I wonder if I can connect a D2600 enclosure to it. I could find anything on HP web site since I think this product is no longer manufactured.

The other question is how I can turn on the controller on 2212 through CLI. I used shutdown to turn off one of the controllers on it and now I cannot find anything in the CLI reference to turn the controller back on!

and I wonder if this is a G1 or G2 device.

MSA20** are G1
MSA2212 is a G1 (enhanced controller).
MSA23** are G2
P2000 are G3

See http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/ProductList.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=3687115&taskId=135

If the D2600 is supported with the MSA2000 G2 it would be mentioned in the quickspecs of at least one of the products, looked there?
