Should be receiving a couple DAEs with 36GB drives. From what I know about these units, they're FC-AL to the DPE (Storage Processors within). What would be required to address these drives without a DPE/SPs ? I'm guessing a DB-9 copper GBIC in a DS-16b (Re-branded Brocade 2800) connected to the chassis would allow me to see the drives, but would like confirmation.
Anyone attempt this, or have some pointers ? I'm guessing I'll have to modify the sector formatting from 520 to 512 (as discussed in a previous post).
Thanks in advance,
Rhino
