I have a large quantity of Unisys fibre channel disk shelves (well over a terabyte), and I was hoping these would work on a NetApp F760. Specifically, these are:
Unisys OSM3000flr - Fibre Channel disk shelf
They have 4 DB9 connectors (two loops), and dip switches to select unit IDs 0-7.
UNISYS 006073ST19171FC - 9 GB FCAL disk.
Each shelf contains 8 of these.
These are basically Seagate ST19171FC disks, and could probably probe that way with an appropriate firmware download.
I believe that OnTap supports the drives themselves (both as Seagate and Unisys), I don't know what magic NetApp does with their shelves though.
If I can't make these work on a NetApp, I'll be forced to attach them to a Solaris box. :(
Thanks!
