Hi HPEStorageGuy,
- How many servers are you trying to use with your MSA 1040?
Well, 0 server. We wanted a storage server that can work with our computers (HP compaq Elit) directly to store and retreive videos.
But, by mistake, we got MSA 1040 SAS and we are currently searching a solution to make it work.
We have only one server proliant but we are using it for http requests (in the DMZ) and it is not possible to connect the MSA with it (for security reasons).
- And I have no idea why you're being told you need an ProLiant DL180.
The consultant said it is compatible with MSA 1040 SAS and I can connect them using HP H241 12Gb 2-ports Ext Smart Host Bus Adapter 726911-B21.
We don't have HP storage experts in our country and we keep looking for a solution.
