Hello,
We have a Proliant DL380 G7 L (product 583917-B21) with all 6 HD connected (SAS MDL 2TB). PCI slots 2&3 full for FC (other PCI free: 1,4,5,6).
We want to increase HD without formatting O.S. Any idea?
We were thinking to attach a DELL MD1200 Powervault or similar by SAS connection on some new PCI card. This have sense? in this case, which PCI Card?
Regards.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionYou have several options.
- remove the optical drive cage and install another hdd cage. So you can have 2x 8 disks in the server. you will need a sas expander card or another smart array controller for these new disks.
- get something like a D2700 disk shelf and a smart array card.
(I would not mix vendors in a single system environment)
server quicckspec for supported options:

you may use a smartarray P410, P411, P812 or the 468406-B21 SAS Expander Card.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
