I'm trying to resurrect an old F760 with two FC9 shelves. Both shelves have got 33GB disks in them. One shelf is recognised fine by the filer, the disks in the other are all shown as failed.
It's been a long time since I had a filer to play with, so I suspect there may be some configuration / formatting issue causing the problem rather than dead disks.
When I boot the filer I get the following:
error 19 (disk not ready for requested operation) while reading ownership on disk 1.8 (S/N 3CD1K2JW000021304AR5) error 19 (disk not ready for requested operation) on disk 1.8 (S/N 3CD1K2JW000021304AR5) while reading individual disk ownership area
(repeated for each disk on the second shelf)
Disk 1.22 Shelf ? Bay ? [NETAPP X231_ST336704FC NA41] S/N [3CD1JAGA00002131841C] initialization failed.
(repeated for each disk on the second shelf)
No SCSI-3 Enclosure Services on channel 1 shelf 2. Check drive placement.
Enclosure services unable to contact shelf attached to channel 1.
After booting, the filer shows:

I've moved disks from shelf 1 to shelf 2 where they appear to work okay. Disks moved from shelf 2 to shelf 1 remain dead.
I've tried booting into maintenance mode and reformatting the dead disks. This resulted in an lots of fun and games trying to recover from the 512 byte sector size that the disks were formatted with.
Has anybody got any ideas? I'm hoping it's something reasonably straightforward...
