Can you hear the drives spinning up or do you see a green LED on these drives?
You may have to provide AIX with additional drivers. Doing a cfgmgr -v may show you AIX is looking for drivers or some other clue.

Yes they are scsi. They are mounted in a 2104-DU3 expandable storage unit. (I'm just reading the specs here, I'm never dealt with this unit before)
Thanks,
Jim

John,
I have never dealt with this machine before, (only worked with F50's), but these go into a 2104 drive module. They don't show up at all. There were 8 disks in it already, and these are the 9th and 10th.
Thanks
Jim

You don't say whether they were hotpluggable disks or not, so we'll assume they were. after you inserted the drives, did you get power back to the drive slots? You might check and see if they show up, but as defined, not available.

Hello list. I just received two 73gb drives for a 7026-B80. I put them in place yesterday, and thought they would become available by running cfgmgr, but they do not appear. So, I scheduled a reboot last night hoping that would take care of it, but still no luck. In looking at the Installation instructions it appears that it might need a power off/ power on. Is there any way around that?
Thanks,
Jim
