HP Direct-Connect External SAS Storage for HP BladeSystem Solutions Depoyment Guide

MDS600 and MSA2000 G2 to the same c-Class enclosure
This example illustrates cabling from one BladeSystem c-Class enclosure to both an MSA2000sa
G2 controller enclosure and an MDS600 storage enclosure. In this type of configuration, note the
following:
IMPORTANT:
• In a solution with both zoned and shared storage enclosures, a server bay can be assigned
to either zoned or shared zone groups. (Cannot be assigned to both types of storage
enclosures.)
• The MSA2012sa is not supported for use in this configuration.
