Good morning All
I have a couple Equallogic PS5000xv SAN units - they are at a remote site so I have to use remote hands to get drives replaced - recently I noticed I had 3 drives failed so I looked for the serial number of the disks and bought Dell disks with that number - however on fitting them the message "unauthorized drive detected" appeared, so I investigated and found that all Dell drives are not equal and Equallogic need a different firmware version - So I bought 3 drives with EN00 firmware (although they show up as XREC in the GUI) and had them fitted and here is where the "fun" started - on unit 1 I still get the unauthorised drive message in the GUI and emails from the unit on unit 2 there are no GUI messages - unless I go into the CLI then both units say there are unauthorized drives and they have been disabled. They don't show as disabled in the GUI and the CLI does not show which drives are the unauthorized ones. So my question is : how do I identify the drives so I can pull them and fit confirmed Equallogic compatible drives - is there a CLI command I can enter to show which drives are unauthorized?
Many thanks
Eric
