Shared storage—maximum capacity, MSA2000sa
This example illustrates the maximum number of supported MSA2000sa controller enclosures and
cascaded MSA2000 drive enclosures that can connect to a c7000 BladeSystem enclosure housed
in a 42U rack.
• A maximum of four MSA2000sa (or MSA2000sa G2) controller enclosures can be attached
to a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
• The MSA2000sa can support a maximum of three MSA2000 drive enclosures (the MSA2000sa
G2 can support a maximum of four MSA2000 drive enclosures.)
Devices and quantities
MSA2000sa controller enclosures: 4
MSA2000 drive enclosures: 12
BladeSystem c7000 enclosures: 1
3Gb SAS BL Switches: 2
Server blade types: half-height and full-height
Connection details
• Due to space limitations and level of detail,
connection details are not listed.
Notes
• This example shows a dual-controller
MSA2000sa with optimal cabling. Single
controller enclosures are also supported.
• When using MSA2000sa G2 controllers,
device quantities can be the same as
shown in the MSA2000sa example.
However, if desired, because each
MSA2000sa G2 can support 4 (instead of
3) cascaded drive enclosures, you could
instead connect 3 MSA2000sa G2
controller enclosures, each with 4 cascaded
MSA2000 drive enclosures, resulting in
2U unused rack space.
