I have not worked with fiber drives before so this is new to me.
We ended up with a bunch of Network Associates drive shelves and a couple of old filers when a company on the floor below us went out of business. The filers had been wiped of software and NetApp no longer supports them so we are using the shelves as arrays on other servers. This works well for the SCSI units, but I am having trouble with the fiber channel shelves.
One is attached to a Dell 2400 with a QLogic QLA2200/66
SAN adapter. It contains 7 new Seagate 36.5GB fiber drives. The card self checks at boot but cannot see the drives.
Does the FC9 require some sort of fiber terminator at one end of the chassis? I see nothing about one in the documentation that I downloaded from NetApp, but the drives do not show either at boot or in the OS (Win2K).
Thanks for any info you can provide.
