Connect HP 3par StoreServ 20000 to Dl380p g8

[mariospe]

Hi,

this is my idea:

connect a HP 3par StoreServ 20000 (25 SFF) to a Dl380p g8 by a Smart Array like P812 or P822.

It's possible?

or there's a way?

Thanks

Hello @mariospe,

Are you trying to connect DL380 to 3PAR directly without involving a switch? If so, that is not supported.

This is from 3PAR 20K configuration information "Direct Connect between the host and storage is not supported with DAC cables, they require the use of a switch."
