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). 

                                                 

The LCD will display the existing configuration. You must order the same number of controllers that you have in 

your existing configuration.
