I did not make myself clear. the disks are in the shelves and I am going to fail one that is noisy with errors and remaps of sectors. I know which disk it is. I don't know if my spare, in my hand(SHZHB-ZZ), can replace the one in the shelf(ST15230N). I'd like to know before I fail the disk.

Can I plug in a SHZHB-ZZ to replace a failed ST15230N? I can't event tell if a SHZHB-ZZ is a scsi or a 4 GB disk! We haven't had to replace a disk on this unit for over three years! All my production systems that I work on now are 760s and 840s.

How do I correlate the identification of the disk on the weekly report with the label on the disk? The report says 4 GB disk ST15230N and one of my disks says SHZHB-ZZ. Nowhere on the disk is there a designation of size, scsi or ultra, or even if it is scsi.

Yow! That is old. :-) An F330, perhaps? What version of ONTAP are you running?

From the part number, that drive is a Seagate fast/narrow SCSI drive. Have you looked at the front of the machine? Even on the old StorageWorks SCSI shelves the red LED should light to indicate a failed drive... but it's been a long, long time since I ran one of those.

Good luck,
