SCV 3020 HDD compatibility
Hi, I wanted to add SAS 15 RPM Dell Brand P / N: 0H8DVC 300Gb hard drives for my new Compellent SCV3020, I received this notification "Alert created on the controller '296464' for the 'Disk 9 Position' object 8] '[Incompatible | DriveManufacturer | ForEnclosure | Alert]:" May this be a drive firmware issue? or is there a compatibility list HDD ? thank you in advance for your support.

Hello Gjazyl,
The Dell part# that you have provided is a HDD for a Dell Server or An MD system. The drive part# H8DVC will not work with a Compellent system as it doesn’t have the Compellent firmware on the drive. Your SCv3020 needs to read the drive & find the Compellent firmware so that it can access the drive.
There is not a list of compatibility list for Compellent drives Like we have for MD3xxx systems.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
