Hi All…

I have two stone chassis here:

8 bay & 10 bay

with sleds and FC Cheetah Drives.

If you could use any of this please contact me.

Thanks,

If you run /usr/discreet/sw/disk-summary, you should see that the disks are reported as “STONE+WIR” or “DISCREET” rather than “SEAGATE”, i.e. they have customized firmware on them.

Thanks for your reply but I believe the fc drives I have are possibly not made to be used in a Stone (firmware wise). I have finally come to that conclusion after swapping out numerous fc drives w/o any luck. There are two channels with 5 drive slots in each channel. I have 4 drives installed in each channel. Only 8 drives w/sleds came with the Stone and I believe I did read a week ago or so that two bays are not used…one for parity and I forgot why another one was left blank. All the drives I have installed and swapped out for others in the Stone spin up and the individual hard drive light (green) lights up.

I have also just run either Channel A alone and then B alone (as well as all 8 drives at the same time) and still there is no green indicator lights lit on the back of the Stone after the drives are up and running. The Slave side has just a plate covering it. Since neither indicator light lights up after all the swapping out I did my best guess is that the drives don’t have the correct firmware and thus not able to be used in the Stone. I guess it is possible that both the green lights on the Master panel are burned but the drives do not show up in hinv either when everything is up and running. The Stone is connected via two DB9 copper fc cables to an Origin dual fc card. It’s worth a shot to run the command you mentioned and will do that today.

I originally bought the D9 with 9Gb fc Seagate drives (with 0006 firmware)and have since purchased a few more with the same firmware as well as some 18.2 Gb Seagate fc drives with similar firmware. Once I find the correct firmware for the fc drives I can look into finding the right ones, either 9 or 18 gb.

I have tried to find as much info on the D9 and fc drives for it but haven’t had a lot of luck in my search. On top of that I am just a newbie 😳

What are the Seagate fc drives that are used in a Stone stamped with…..a label saying ….Discreet Logic?

Or are they recognized just from the Firmware?

Thanks,

Richard

Hello,

I am new to the forum and hope to pick up some great tips from everyone.

I am also looking for good working Seagate FC drives. Looking for either ST39102FC–9Gb with Firmware 0006 and ST318304FC–18.3Gb with Firmware 0005.

Anyone have any they are no longer using and want to part with?

Thanks, Richard
