Thanks for all the replies. It turns out that you cannot purchase any one of the "Sun supported" fc drives from any vendor for a v880. The disks must have Sun's firmware loaded or they will not be recognized. I know this is not true for many scsi based Sun systems but I'm not sure about the other fc based Sun systems. I'm not aware of a procedure to load Sun's firmware onto a drive or even how to acquire it. Sun sales quoted me a price for a replacement. After receiving the quote, I decided to search for a 3rd party vendor by using the Sun part #. Some interesting information that was passed along... Some have experienced no issues when replacing a drive w/ out following the proper hot-plug procedure. When having trouble w/ new hardware - devfsadm -C, then add the hardware, then devfsadm. solaris 8 backplane patch - 117814-01 (read the docs, prompt returns during upgrade but you still have to wait) solaris 8 disks patch - 116369-10 108528-24 was pulled as an "unstable kernel" -----Original Message----- From: sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org [mailto:sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Dinisco Sent: Monday, August 15, 2005 3:02 PM To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: v880 disk problem I had a failed disk on a v880 running Solaris 8 (108528-24). I mistakenly pulled the disk w/ out using the proper hot-plug procedure (luxadm remove_device). Now I can't seem to get the new drive online. I've tried - "reboot -- -r" and "luxadm insert_device". The new 36gb replacement drive is the same Seagate model as the other existing drives - ST336605FC. Here's what it looks like... format - drive is not present. It was c1t10d0. It's not there now. There are only 11 internal drives shown (should be 12) probe-scsi-all - looks like the drive is found because 12 WWN's are shown. 11 of them look like this (with different WWN's)... 3 3 0 21000004cf72bb7d SEAGATE ST336605FSUN36G 0438 1 looks like this... 6 6 0 5080020000165e89 SUNW SUNWGS INT FCBPL9224 cfgadm -al - 11 look like this (with different WWN's)... c1::21000004cf7fad41 disk connected configured unknown 1 looks like this... c1::5080020000165e89 ESI connected configured unknown luxadm disp - 11 look like this (with different WWN's)... 7 On (O.K.) 20000004cf7fad08 1 looks like this... 8 On (Login failed) Could this be a drive firmware issue? Could not using the proper removal procedure be the cause?
