HSG80 Hardware Versions

[Mike Povall]

Does anyone know if there are any requirements for the hardware version of an HSG80 controller to be the same as its partner in an M2200 chassis? The chassis that I am looking at currently has one controller at E09 and the other at E14. If they do need to be the same is there a process to upgrade the controller?

Thanks in anticipation of your responses.

Hi Mike,

The maintenance and servic guide here:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00309754/c00309754.pdf

states: "The replacement controller hardware must be compatible with the remaining controller hardware. Refer to product specific release notes and documentation for information regarding hardware compatibility."

However I can't find any details about the specifics...

I'm fairly certain that I've run a HSG80 in the past with the controllers at different hardware revisions, without any issues.

As far as I'm aware there isn't any way to upgrade a controller to get to a different hardware version.

It is important however to make sure both controllers are running the same version of ACS.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Rob
