Re: Unload/Reload

Lovely. I've seen this before as well. Problem is that the new units haven't been identified yet. Usually the Initialize and format will wake them up but you're getting an error. Try the other and see if it's the same because maybe the disk really is bad or possibly is OK but didn't properly connect.

Seems like another thing I've done is to leave the slots empty for a few hours and then insert the new drives. Something must trigger the system to know the 70s are gone so that when it sees new drives it checks them out and doesn't just assume they are the 70s coming back.

I used the Concurrent Maintenance and removed all four.
Stuck the four new ones about half way in.
Did Concurrent Maintance on the first two and got them shoved in and it
says ok. Read a bunch of email, did some sample sql to reply to someone's
email, etc. Configuration status still shows the four old S/N's and
models and non configured. Figured WTH and went on.
