Note
This white paper examines single-to-single controller upgrades and dual-to-dual controller upgrades. This white paper does not examine
single-to-dual or dual-to-single controller upgrades.
The MSA 2040/2042 SAS controller supports up to four 6Gb SAS or 12Gb SAS connections per controller using mini-SAS HD connectors
and upgrading from a P2000 G3 SAS storage system will require new host connect cables.
The following table lists the supported SFP locations on the MSA 2040/2042 controller ports when using Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and the combination
of Fibre Channel and iSCSI. For dual controller systems, symmetrical SFP placement is required.

LUN mappings using a protocol different from the original controller (such as changing from iSCSI to Fibre Channel) will be deleted during the upgrade and need to be
remapped.

The MSA 1040 storage system ships standard with dual controllers and a storage enclosure. Drives from a P2000 G3 storage system must be moved to the MSA 1040
storage system enclosure during the upgrade process and placed in the MSA 1040 system in the same order, as they were in the P2000 G3 storage enclosure if possible, for
consistency. The same drive order is recommended to maintain consistency with the original layout and any documentation that might exist. However, it is not required
because the metadata with be identified by the MSA 1040 controllers. You should move drives only while the system is offline.

SFP in host Port 1 must match SFP in host Port 2.

SFP in host Port 3 must match SFP in host Port 4.
