Not possible. Only ways to connect to a 3PAR system is FC or iSCSI depending on HBAs installed in the system. |

As mentioned, a 3PAR "system" does not support SAS connection. You would want an MSA storage array for that. Now if your playing around with decommissioned hardware, you *might* be able to use a expansion drive enclosure from a 3par system connected by SAS. I have never done this, and cant offer much help here. |
