MD1420 + MD3420

Our enterprise is planning to buy a PowerVault MD3420. We already have a MD1420, with 2 Virtual Disks, connected to a PE R730 with a PERC H830. My questions are:

  1. Can we use the PERC H830 to connect the MD3420 to the server?
  2. Will the virtual disks be kept or are they going to be erased when we connect the MD1420 to the MD3420?
  3. What cables (Part#) do we need?
  4. If we are going to need a new card, what cards can we use?

Thanks

    Hi,

    You will need a Non raid controller since the MD3420 has its own controllers. This is the part number for the SAS controller. 405-AADZ. I do not see a way to import the virtual disk from a PERC to an MD3420.
