Do you mean you have 2 servers attached to the MSA?<BR /><BR />You can only replace the 2port module with a 4 port module. You can not have 2 2port modules. I am not aware of any additional slots that make an additional i/o module an available option.<BR /><BR />General speaking, the MSA500G2 was designed for Clustered environments with the maximum limits being 2 dual pathed servers or 4 single pathed servers. I do not think you would have any problems with utilizing it with 4 stand alone servers as the MSA is still capable of Selective Storage Presentation (from what I can remember anyway).<BR /><BR /><BR />Steven Thu, 22 Mar 2007 11:44:58 GMT Steven Clementi 2007-03-22T11:44:58Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa-500-g2-modules/m-p/3966801#M23215 Hi,<BR />Sorry if this has been asked before but I am new to configuring MSA's.<BR />We have a standard MSA with one 2-Port i/o module. Both ports are used for direct attached storage. We would now like to add another two servers to the MSA. Can we purchase a second 2 port i/o Module and install that along side the existing 2 ports or do we need to purchase the 4 Port module and remove the existing 2 port module?<BR /><BR />Thanks<BR />John Thu, 22 Mar 2007 06:11:30 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa-500-g2-modules/m-p/3966801#M23215 John McCulloch 2007-03-22T06:11:30Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa-500-g2-modules/m-p/3966802#M23216 John:<BR /><BR />The MSA500G2 does not support attaching storage to it.
