We have an E450 server with 13 disks installed but prtdiag -v always fails
to find any disk other than the system disk, disk 0:


Disk LED Status: OK = GREEN ERROR = YELLOW
DISK 18: [EMPTY] DISK 19: [EMPTY]
DISK 16: [EMPTY] DISK 17: [EMPTY]
DISK 14: [EMPTY] DISK 15: [EMPTY]
DISK 12: [EMPTY] DISK 13: [EMPTY]
DISK 10: [EMPTY] DISK 11: [EMPTY]
DISK 8: [EMPTY] DISK 9: [EMPTY]
DISK 6: [EMPTY] DISK 7: [EMPTY]
DISK 4: [EMPTY] DISK 5: [EMPTY]
DISK 2: [EMPTY] DISK 3: [EMPTY]
DISK 0: [OK] DISK 1: [EMPTY]


Why is this?

What firmware is on the E450?
Does probe-scsi-all see all the disks at the ok> prompt?

I just found this via Google:

http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail...ly/008249.html

Which 13 disks are installed?
Try installing in slots 0 through 12 if that is not how they are already
populated.

Good luck!
