Expansion of MSA 1050 with 2050

[mbrownpng]

I have an existing HPE MSA 1050 SAN that is fully populated and has been in use for a good amout of time. The storage is now filling up and I need to expand/extend. I am told MSA 2050 is compatible so I have purchased one.

This will be my first time to do an extention configureation. Can someone please give me detailed information on how I would achieve this?

Please note, existing storage is hosting our prodcution infrastructure. I need directions on how to physically setup and confighrue the additional 2050 as expansion/extention enslosure.

Hi There,

An expansion disk module or JBOD is supported with both MSA 1050 and 2050.

Here are the details on expansion -
