First, we are running: NetApp Release 5.2.3: Sat Jul 17 04:35:28 PDT 1999
We have a minor problem that we are hitting with an F630 of ours. The drives that we have historically used is as follows:
1: SEAGATE ST15150W 9107 Size=4.0GB (8388315 blocks)
The spares that we have in-house are purchased from Compaq, the exact same drive, except that the label has COMPAQ in place of SEAGATE. When we try to use the drive, it gives us the following error:
The following drive has not been qualified by Network Appliance. For a list of qualified drives, please contact Network Appliance. 8b.1: COMPAQ ST15150W 6213
At this point it halted itself.
Is there any way that this drive can be relabeled to say SEAGATE and not COMPAQ? Is there any way for Netapp to 'approve' this drive (since it really is the same drive, it's just been 'OEM Branded')? Is there some type of backdoor/techprompt method of telling the filer that this drive is, indeed, a trusty drive?
Failing that, what drives can we put in this box?
