Storage Array?

Dear All,

Yesterday I was given a Storage Array and I have no idea what it is.

It is Grey with 7 HDD M2949ESP Drives (9 GB Fujitsu HDD). I have connected to my Solaris 9 box and it is showing lots of 2 GB drives. Can anyone tell me how I can identify the the unit and reconfigure the drive to be 7 X 9 GB drives?

thanks in advance,

Hugh

Some of the early Sun storage arrays had 7 slots, but to be sure and to identify your item correctly we would need partnumbers.

Here are a couple of examples of 7 slot SPARCstorage arrays:

I think you have the 219 model as it supports disks that are similar to your Fujitsu 2949.

if it is a 214/219, then I imagine you had a differential card in your box? if not, I am not sure how you even saw the drives. the format command is your friend... haroldkarl
