HP rx2800i2 and SAS SSD

Post by max.jarvis@se.com » Thu May 23, 2024 10:27 am

Hello... we have an rx2800i2 using SAS SSDs, about 10 years old. The SSDs are 2.5 inch Seagate Pulsars (100GB). One of them has failed and I have replaced it with the smallest SSD I could find, a Seagate Nytro 3350 (960GB). When I try to mount the new SSD in OpenVMS, it says it is OFFLINE and I can't get past that. The command I'm using is MOU DKA200 /FOREIGN. Anybody got any helpful ideas please?

Should have mentioned, this is OpenVMS 8.4.

Let's see the output from the below command procedure.

I suspect the device does not adhere to the SCSI specification the way VMS expects it.

$ TY SCSI.COM
$ set noon
$
$ SCSI_INFO :== $SYS$ETC:SCSI_INFO
$ SCSI_INFO DKA200:
$
$ anal/sys
dklog clear DKA200:
dklog start DKA200:
exit
$ init DKA200: ZZZ
$ anal/sys
dklog show DKA200:
exit
$
$ exit
