Hi,
I'm running a RAID-5 of 4x IBM IC35L073UCDY10 on an ICP Vortex GDT8514RZ
SCSI/RAID-Controller, firmware 2.44.02-RC7B (current). It is to be
expanded by 2 SEAGATE ST373207LC, but the expand command in the
controller's console fails with the message "no suitable disks found".
This seems to be due to a compatibility issue of the IBM drives. The IBM
support doesn't seem to be of much help - the firmware update (S29A)
they sent me made no difference.
If anyone has experience with expanding RAID arrays of IBM disks or
similar situations, please tell me...
thx in advance
