Does the msa1500 differ?<BR /><BR />2: If you do a das to san migration can those drives be removed and placed back into the das device?<BR /><BR />3: What options do you have for updating the BIOS on windows and netware HBA's? <BR /><BR />TIA and points for all answers.<BR /><BR />Sean<BR /> Fri, 24 Jun 2005 15:45:39 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa1000-questions/m-p/3570549#M16585 Sean OB_1 2005-06-24T15:45:39Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa1000-questions/m-p/3570550#M16586 1): 32, no difference.<BR /><BR />2): It depends on the SA controller.
