Upgrade StoreEasy 1460 Array Controller procedure

Hi,

We have a StoreEasy 1460 with a HPE Smart Array S100i Smart Array Controller. We want to upgrade/replace this controller with a HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR. Will Disk Roaming be supported? So will the current RAID on the disks be preserved and detected by the P408 controller?

Thanks,

Bastiaan

Hello @Bastiaan v H,

- You should be able to upgrade to HPE Smart Array P408i-aSR as it supports the feature [Seamless upgrades from HPE Smart Array S-class and E-class controllers]. Here is the link for your reference -https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00008200enw

- Disks should be automatically picked up by the controller. Make sure below two points are considered before upgrading.

You should have a complete data backup before upgrading.
Make sure both the controllers should be the same firmware version.

Here is the link to get all the necessary documents for HPE Smart Array P408i-aSR - https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/product?language=en_US&kmpmoid=1010026791&tab=manualsAndGuides&view=grid&manualsAndGuidesFilter=66000014

Thanks & Regards,
