MSA1000

[Kai1991]

Hi,

We have a HP MSA1000 with 2x MSA30 disk shelves and 1x256mb cache controller. We are unable to see the disks 8-14 on both of the MSA 30's but can see 1-14 on the MSA1000 itself. Can anyone help us see the other disks?

Thanks

How many SCSI ports are on the MSA30?

2?

Are the right connectors both connected to the same I/O module of the MSA1000?

You probably have a bad I/O module.

I think that you have two MSA30 with DualBus SCSI Partnumber 302970-B21. One Bus for Disk 1 - 7 and the other for Disk 8 - 14. Look at the Backend of the MSA30. There should be two SCSI connetors.

Your MSA1000 has only two SCSI Connectors at the Backend. So you can attach two Single Bus MSA 30 or one Dual Bus MSA 30 to use all the drives.

You can change the MSA I/O Modul. The Single Bus I/O Modul is Partnumber 287484-B21. With this Modul all Disk are on the same Bus. Then you can use all 42 Drives.
