EVA4000/4100 extending the disk

[MAH_2]

Hi I want to extend the disk enclosure for the storage EVA400/4100. Already it is having 4 disk enclosure. Is it possible to add one more disk enclosure?

Hi
EVA4000 has maximum 4 disk enclosures supported.

If you upgrade to EVA6000, you can have more enclosures.

If you do, don't forget the licenses and I believe you need loop switches.

If I have the loop swiches , can I connect more than 4 disk enclosure with EVA 4000.???

Hi,

If loop Switches are connected to EVA4000/6000 It is nothing but EVA6000/6100.

You need to change the entiner cabling (EVA4000 - Cascade) where as EVA6000 - Looping with Switches.

And one more Imp thing is that you need to apply the license also. EVA4000 and EVA6000 Licenses are different i suppose.
