Disk state empty

Question

After decommisioning of an unused CX3 storage we are reconfiguring an old CX4-120 for backup replication purpose. CX4 had initially: - enclosure 0 with 15 disks (450GB FC STE45085 CLAR450 disks) - enclosure 1 with 15 disks (1TB SATA II WD1002FBCLAR1000 disks) We are trying to switch to: - enclosure 0 with 7 disks (450GB FC STE45085 CLAR450 disks) and 8 disks (1TB SATA II WD1002FBCLAR1000 disks) - enclosure 1 with 15 disks (1TB SATA II WD1002FBCLAR1000 disks) All LUN, storage groups, etc have been unbound Drives changed one at a time All changed 1TB drives are not regognised and slot marked as EMPTY Can you please suggest me a command/procedure to reset/initialize the slots that doesn't recognise the 1TB drives? The same drive inserted in enclosure 1 (same drive type and firmware) is perfectly recognized Thanks very much Filippo
