Conversion from a Modular Smart Array 500 to a Modular Smart Array 1000 can only take place
when:
• Both the Modular Smart Array 500 and the Modular Smart Array 1000 support the operating
system.
• Available PCI slots in the ProLiant server support Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters.
Migration procedures
The instructions in this section provide detailed information to guide you through the migration
process. These procedures assume that, as a precaution, you have backed up the data on your
system before removing power.
1. Power down server(s) and Modular Smart Array 500.
2. Remove the Modular Smart Array 500 controller from the front of the Modular Smart Array 500
and install the Modular Smart Array 1000 controller in its place.
Note
If only one Modular Smart Array 500 controller resides in the original
system, place the Modular Smart Array 1000 controller in the same slot. If
two Modular Smart Array 500 controllers reside in the system, then replace
both controllers with MSA1000 controllers. Modular Smart Array 1000
requires Secure Path Software to support redundant controllers (see the
StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1000 User Guide).
