Expand MSA 2062 with D8000 disk enclosure?

[Jeremy C]

Can a D8000 be connected to an MSA 2062 as an expansion, with the MSA controlling everything?

From the overview of the D8000

"The D8000 Disk Enclosure can be connected to ProLiant Gen10 servers using the HPE Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10 Controller or the P408e-p SR Gen10 Controller, which includes HPE Apollo and HPE StoreEasy. Two D8000 enclosures can be daisy-chained together to provide support for up to 212 drives."

Always refer product Quickspec and HPE SPOCK to find compatibility.

As per MSA 2062 quickspec, there is no D8000 disk enclosure mentioned which means this is not supported. Please refer below quickspec,
