Please provide more background information - AFAIK all MSA enclosures are the same, but disks and I/O modules differ. What you currently have, what is configured and what do you want to change?

Hi,

The problem is that, we have 7-8 hard drive failure in EVA in last 30 days, we have logged call in HP, and they suggest to replace the storage enclosure.

We just want to confirm the procedure for the replacement of EVA4000 Storage Enclosure.

Please help.

Thanks in advance and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

power down the array. swap the chassis, disks and I/O modules. Make sure to connect all cables on same positions as before. Start the array.
