7031-D24 Install missing drives

[weaver12]

I'm installing a 7031-D24 fully populated with disks on a p570. I have two single repeater cards installed in C2 and C5 and two dual repeater cards installed in C3 and C4. I have a jumper cable from C2 to C3 then a cable from C3 to a scsi card. I also have one from C4 to C5 then a cable from C4 to a second scsi card.

My goal is to have one scsi card control the 12 disks in front and another control the 12 disks in back of the D24 and then mirror the disks front to back.

My problem is, I am missing 6 disks from the 6 back right slots (controlled by C5). I've tried swapping cables all around and swapped the single repeater cards (neither made a difference). I was going to try swapping the dual repeater cards but got tired of messing with it.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something but I just don't see it. Here's some of my config. I would expect to have a ses5 but it's not there (yes, I've run cfgmgr). Any help would be most appreciated...

Resolved.

I moved the dual repeater from C4 to C5 and put the single repeater from C5 to C4 so both dual repeaters were on the right (C3,C5) and the singles were on the left (C2,C4). Not what the documentation from IBM says but I found a drawing that shows this working config on IBM's site. Go figure...
