Have you managed to check the firmware level on the SSA disk in comparison
to the firmware levels on your other SSAs ?
Just a thought.

This disk was used elsewhere (purchased used), but it is indeed on a RAID
controller. I can't get it into an AIX System Disk state no matter what I
do.

Was this disk used elsewhere, possibly in an array? And is the SSA
controller that you are currently using a non-raid controller?

If so, I have one in the same state, and from what I've been able to
determine, the only way to get it to show up as an hdisk is to re-attach
to a raid controller and change the status there.

If anyone else has another way to do this, I'd love to hear it, as I've
come up empty so far.
