PROLIANT DL380 G5 + StorageWorks MSA2000 What i need to make it works

[EmmanuelDLSC]

Hi,

I have a few questions. Im new at this and i need some clues.

I have an Proliant DL380 G5 and i need to connect it to my StorageWorks MSA2000. StorageWorks have an mini SAS port then i need to connect it to SAS port on my PROLIANT but i don't have any port SAS on the back panel on my Proliant obviously i need the card for this.

Which card is, how can i obtain an exact model that works for my Proliant DL380 G5 ?

Adding this Card will affect the current SAS disks installed on the server ?

Server : HP PROLIANT DL380 G5 E5405

StorageWorks : HP StorageWorks MSA2000

Thanks !

What MSA2000 model do you have?

All have SAS connectors for expansion boxes, not servers.

There are host connections available for FS, SAS, iSCSI and combinations.

if you have the fc model, you need a fc hba.
