Expanding Primera C650 Controllers and Cages

Elfegume — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 03:48:43 GMT

Hello,
I currently have an HPE Primera C650 storage array configured with two controllers and six expansion cages. I am planning to expand the system to four controllers and add four additional expansion cages.
Could you please confirm if this configuration is supported? Additionally, could you provide the recommended procedure or high-level steps required to perform this upgrade?
Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi,

technically, it is possible, see Instructions here:

But I've deployed over 120 3PAR/Primera systems so far, and I'm unsure if I would do this myself on a production system.

But you can book a special service from HPE, which is certainly a good idea.
