I believe the file extension will be .FDF (although someone told me it will be a .FRD file) FYI... I have a used DAE from a SGI Clariion SAN and I need to use it with my EMC FC4700 Clariion. The drives in the DAE from the SGI Clariion have SGI firmware and are reported as unformatted by...
Thank You! Ok, I can't format yet because each disk in the used DAE has SGI firmware and apparently each needs EMC firmware. Does anyone have a EMC firmware file compatible with a FC4700. Thanks!
I have a used SGI clariion and the drives are reported as unformatted via Navisphere Manager. I believe I just need to format them but no obvious format option under Navisphere Manager. I have heard about a right click menu with a format option in Navisphere Manager when in engineering mode...
Thank You. Please tell me how to get into engineering mode. I presume I do something special when starting Navisphere Manager or when Navisphere Manager is running. Right now when I right click on a module I do not get a popup menu, i.e. to format. Thanks! If you prefer you can email me...
Thanks! Ok, the DAE part number is 005042830. The disk tray module has two stickers, one on each side. One side reads 36gb Disk Module 005046123. The other side reads SiliconGraphics 520 Sector Format Part# 9470503. I don't know if it matters but the drive itself is a Seagate Cheetah...
Just received a used DAE for my FC4700. It is immediately recognized but both Navi Mgr and the Navicli getdisk command report all the disks are present but unformatted. I expected to see the disks report unbound but this is my first DAE. So... how do I get the disks formatted? Hopefully...
Current revs: Base 08.41.09, Navisphere 5.1.0.3.4, PROM 5.94.00. It was recommended to me that I upgrade 6.2.0.6.2 and I now have two NDU files, one is NavisphereServer and the other is ArrayManager. I was instructed to follow the directions in the Navi Mgr Guide and I attempted to do so. I...
Rebooting the SPs didn't make them both appear "managed". To make both of them appear as managed under Navisphere Manager, both have to be configured on the Find Agent screen. After hours and hours of frustration I have finally figured this out. Now both SPs properly report managed.
I...
Thanks maultier. After swapping two replacement CPUs my SP has been running all afternoon. I am hopefully optimistic it is fixed but a few more days will make me feel better. Using a Null modem cable I have successfully connected to the troublesome SP (SPA) and then used I Navisphere Manager...
Ok, thanks. And if the SP motherboard is the problem, can I simply use the SP from the IP4700 with a mod. I presume I need different kernel software or whatever EMC calls it, but can someone please confirm this? I would of course move the fiber IO cards. But how do I obtain and then load the...
Unfortunately no EMC support. I tried to purchase a contract but they wanted (no joke) $70k to support my newly acquired FC4700 (hardware and software) for one year. I have begged them for months to get access to their knowledge base but I can't get a PowerLink account either. It has been...
One of my SPs reboots on it's own after a few minutes. Sometimes it doesn't boot at all and beeps as if there is a memory problem. I reseated the memory and CPUs but to no avail. Any suggestions on what to do next? I have a spare SP from a IP4700, what do I need to do to convert this to a SP...
