Good morning managers...
OK, Here is one to rack your brains with..
I have in my possession a number of Seagate ST136403FC disks that are set-up
for a CLARiiON disk array. The CLARiiON number is 118030145-01.
I would like to use these disks inside of a T3 chassis.
Here is the problem. The disks are set with a CLARiiON firmware, and for a
520kbit block. Since Sun is looking for a 512 block, the disks are failing to
format. I have tried wiping them inside of the T3, no good. I put them inside
of an A5000 and looked at them. I am unable to format them, even low level.
When I try doing a firmware download to them, the download software will not
recognize the disks.
I have also tried running a VTOC on the disks to clear out any holding
sectors. Nothing.
According to Seagate, these are the exact same disks as used with the T3,
simply have the other firmware on them.
Does anyone out there know what I can do to re-configure these drives for 512k
blocks and use them in a T3?
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
Glenn May
