Can an MSA60 be connected to a P200 for expansion?

[StephenWagner7]

Just curious...

I know that the P2000 Storage Arrays can have D2600/D2700 arrays connected to them. Also, from what I understand the D2x00 are later versions of the MSA60 storage units.

Can I attach an MSA60 unit to a P2000?

Just thinking out loud, if possible wouldn't mind using 2 old MSA60s full of disks for disk-to-disk-to-tape staging...

Cheers

AFAIK the MSA70 is supported, but the MSA60 is not.

Hmm, that's interesting.

As far as I know the MSA60 is the LFF version of the MSA70 (Someone correct me if I'm wrong).

I think I may give it a shot when I get this stuff setup. I won't plan on it to work, but if it does, hell, it'll be nice to use 2 old MSA60's for backup storage in a disk to disk to tape style backup. If not, all is good!

Grep the P2000 quickspec and you will dinf the D2x00, the P2000 expansion and the msa70.
