Cascade 2x MSA30 with DL580 sever.(Expansion Storage Space)
I have a problem to be solve.
Equipments invovled:
1x DL580 with smart array 532.Running on Win2K server OS.
2x MSA30 enclosure.
MSA30(A)= 14x72GB HDD.(Exisiting w/1 logical Drive running with RAID 0+1)
MSA30 (B)= 06x 72GB HDD.(New enclosure).
My question are:
1)To expand & extend the exisiting logical drive.
2)Can i cascade both MSA30 A+B together?
3)Do i need to upgrade the exisiting Controller card?If do what model recommended?
4)If upgrade controller card does the exisiting logical drive data will be lost?
5)The exisiting logical drive run on BASIC disk not DYNAMIC disk.
Any feedback would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance...
cheers

SA532 is a dual channel controller, but with one internal and one external channel, you can connect only one MSA30 to the external channel. You can upgrade the controller to a 6402 or a 6404 controller and connect both the MSA30 to 2 different channels or you can buy one more single channel compatible SA and connect the second MSA30 to that, Check the quickspecs of the MSA30 before buying the controller, so that you get a supported controller.
Check the below link for quickspecs.

Hope it helps

Re: Cascade 2x MSA30 with DL580 sever.(Expansion Storage Space)
So if i upgrade to SA 6402.
1)I can hook up both MSA30 A+B into DL580.
2)Can i extend & expand the existing logical drive on MSA30(A) without losing any data?
Thanks in advance...

How you want to expand the array accross the JBODs or in the single JBOD by adding more disks attach an ADU report if possible and also share some info on what config you need.
Thanks

Re: Cascade 2x MSA30 with DL580 sever.(Expansion Storage Space)
Here is the scenario:
Existing config:
1.1x DL580 server connected to MSA30 box with 14x 72GB Hdd.(RAID 0+1)
2.1x logical drive created as drive D on MSA30 with 516096mb space.Almost full.
3.I need to expand Drive D space,so i bought new MSA30 box with 6x 72GB Hdd.
New config:
1.To expand & extend the existing logical drive D,without losing any data.
2.On OS level i can see both array as 1 pysical drive.
To archive new config i need to do?

Re: Cascade 2x MSA30 with DL580 sever.(Expansion Storage Space)
Now 2 things involved in this.
1) You need to check whether the same Array or LUN can be migrated from the existing SA532 to the new 6402 controller I mean to say when u connect the MSA30 to the SA6402 then it should detect the logical configuration.
2) When you expand the array and extend the logical drive the new space added to the array will come up as an unallocated space in the disk mamagement it won`t add up to the existing Volume. So you need to use some Microsoft tools to get it working or delete the existing volume and recreate it with the new space.
I strongly recommend to have the Full BACKUP OF THE VOLUME BEFORE DOING THIS PROCESS.
Thanks
Anand

Sorry for late reply.BTW thanks for the advise.
Problem solve by upgrade the SA card.
Both MSA30 successfull connected to DL580 server.Expansion & extending of existing logical drive succeed without losing any data.Thanks again.
