New HD not found by Perc H710
Hello,
I am running a PowerEdge T420 with A PERC 710 raid controller. Eight drives are installed.
One of the drives started blinking yellow, and the iRAC light on the back was yellow
I replaced it with a new, still in the wrapper, Dell provided replacement drive. The new drive blinks a green light, and the iRAC light is now blue.
RAID controller software though does not see the new drive. It sees 7 drives only. I've rebooted a few times. changed drives carriages, but no luck. The PERC does not see the new, eigth drive.
Any ideas how I get the controller to see the replacement drive? or could it be a bad drive out of the wrapper?
Thanks
Tim

Tim Haugan,
There is always a possibility. First would you confirm that when you accessed the H710 controller BIOS (CTRL-R at prompt) that you hit CTRL-N from the main page to view the Physical Disk page? Are you not seeing the drive there, or are you referring to not seeing it under OpenManage?
