 Want to Add Hard Drives to E3500 On-the-Fly I have an ST336704FC hard drive that I want to install on-the-fly into an E3500. E3500's are suppose to support hot-swappable drives. Since this is a new disk, do you see any problems? Do I have to run luxadm or any other command before or after installation of the new hard drive? Thank you in advance.      |

| Re: Want to Add Hard Drives to E3500 On-the-Fly Thank you. I installed seven new 36GB drives on-the-fly. But now, it's only showing three of the new drives (c0t1d0, c0t2d0, and c0t3d0 ). c2t1d0 is an attached T300. Any advice? # devfsadm # format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c0t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107> /sbus@2,0/SUNW,socal@d,10000/sf@0,0/ssd@w21000004cf1370b3,0 1. c0t1d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107> /sbus@2,0/SUNW,socal@d,10000/sf@0,0/ssd@w2100002037e39cc7,0 2. c0t2d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107> /sbus@2,0/SUNW,socal@d,10000/sf@0,0/ssd@w2100002037be272c,0 3. c0t3d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107> /sbus@2,0/SUNW,socal@d,10000/sf@0,0/ssd@w2100002037beb588,0 4. c2t1d0 <SUN-T300-0118 cyl 34530 alt 2 hd 112 sec 128> /sbus@2,0/SUNW,socal@d,10000/sf@1,0/ssd@w50020f23000091ee,0 |

YOu already have a cable in LA. Connect this GBIC to one on the I/O Board. Then try it. This should give you the upper four drives and WWNs that start with 2100 (like the ones seen by format). Connecting to UB wil give WWNs starting with 2200. Tom |

| Re: Want to Add Hard Drives to E3500 On-the-Fly Ok UB is Upper Bank. I get it now. Yes, we have GBIC's for LB and LA but not UB. I bet you that's it. Thanks.

| Re: Want to Add Hard Drives to E3500 On-the-Fly Ok, we installed an HBA in the I/O board and a GBIC in the UB. Still no luck. What else can we try? Glo Worm wrote: > Ok UB is Upper Bank.
