Howdy.
Anyone running Seagate ST15150N's in their F330? Better yet, any NetApp hardware dudes listening in that might have some notes pertaining to those particular drives?
I need to know the correct jumper settings. The StorageWorks SBB's I'm using don't have the right internal cabling -- unlike every other blasted Seagate drive I've ever seen, the 15150N's do _not_ have an address jumper block and remote LED pins on the front or side of the drive - everything's on the back. No problem, I just set the ID's by hand. The question is whether or not to set the parity (assuming "enabled" is correct) and the proper termination option. The other issue is "motor start enabled" vs. "delay start"; right now I have the motor enable set, and the filer says "Spinning up drives: 9a.0 9a.1 ..." (etc.) but then whines that "startup failed". Hmmm. Most of the "scsi_*" commands play stupid (error messages like "invalid ha: 9", or "disk zero status -1").
These drives came off an old Auspex :-) and I did successfully (I think) get their firmware updated. When I first tried to lay down a volume, though, the filer barfed and rebooted. After that nothing I've tried has been successful. Right now I've pulled the drives off the filer and am reformatting and relabeling them on an old Solaris box. It doesn't seem to be having any problems with 'em, so I figure if I can confirm the proper jumper settings and then plug 'em back into the filer, it'll see that they need to be zero'ed and relabeled and everything will be peachy.
Right?
Any assistance greatly appreciated,
