r610 specific drives ?
hello
i have a poweredge r610 that i purchased few days ago
it came with 2 sas 140 gb.
i have 24 sas 600 gb ( st9600205ss ) at my office
so i installed 6 (cause its max) , i was able to find them in perc 6/i but when i try to create a virtual drive all of them go offline for some reason. no error .. nothing.
why i cant use them ? or how can i use them ?
(the st9600205ss were taken from a fujitsu storage server,but they are not labeled fujitsu)

Yes please proceed with the update first: Updating firmware help recognize more various HDDs. Wish you a good day.

Hi,
If the update of the PERC didn't change the behavior of the disks you have to change these disks becauses they are not compatible with the PERC. To be sure to obtain a 100% compatibility, choose a validated disk with Dell firmware.

Hi, how about upgrading PERC6/I firmware to the latest?
Version 6.3.3-0002, A-00
https://dell.to/3we4XcS
Also on the PERC6/i ,press Ctrl-R the Virtual Disk Management menu screen displays by default. This screen displays physical disks status. See if it’s offline, if so press F2 to force online.
