Background: - 3Par M6710 disk cabinet connected to a HP HBA 221 card in a regular HP Gen8 server. - 24 10k 900 GB disks installed. All 3Par original drives. Weird problem: - If the disk in bay 0 is installed the system will not boot. Gets stuck at the M6710's "initializing..." message. - As soon as I eject bay 0 the system boots normally and all 23 drives are visible. - The 7-segment on the M6710 shows "01". - No other warnings (blinking amber lights etc) Questions: - Is bay 0 special somehow? - What does the "01" code mean? I have looked for info on those codes, but not found anything. Not the end of the world if I cannot use bay 0, but it's annoying.. |

The LED number is the cage# for when daisy chaining multiple cages on a single SAS loop. What happens if you boot up and add bay 0 after the host is up? |
