I formated my 73Gig at 520 bytes / sector using segate utiliy , but i still have qualify error when the netapp starts , it zeros the disk , but it will shutdown in 72H
I tried to update qual_device file , but it ignores my changes , and still crying about the qualify problem .
the drive i try to put in is : ST373307FC , when i grep in disk_fw dir i see that it macth few firmwares : Binary file X234_SCHT6036F10.NA05.LOD matches Binary file X235_SCHT6073F10.NA05.LOD matches Binary file X236_SCHT6146F10.NA05.LOD matches Binary file X270_SCHT6036F10.NA05.LOD matches Binary file X272_SCHT6073F10.NA05.LOD matches Binary file X274_SCHT6146F10.NA05.LOD matches
i guess that it is compatible .
Any ideas ?
thnks an

Anton, Have you checked that the drives are all formatted 520 bytes per sector?
Seagate have on their website "Seagate Tools Enterprise" that will allow you to change this. http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/B7b.html

Hello,
I have an old F720 it has 3 9gig drives , but 2 of them are dead , i would love to be able to reuse this netapp but netapp drives are too expensive for me , as i use this stuff at home i'm not able to invest more .
I tried to make an 72gig fc drive to be reconized by the netapp but without any succes (i tried to downgrade the netapp to its very old version also) . But it sill dont want to flash the firmware on this segate drive .
Is there any way to make it work ?
I'm thinking about mount the fc array on an linux with an fc card and flash the disk firmware with the netapp firmware using segate flash utility .
Any help would be very apreciable . thanks an
