AX100 - new/non standard drives

Hi,

Tried to follow instructions for new drive purchasing on http://www.emc.com/microsites/clariion-support/ax100/pdf/300-002-276.pdf

i.e. for my OS version (02.19.100.5.014) I needed Model No : AX-SA-500 Part No : PN005048606

Managed to get som AX-SA07-500 from etb-tech, with caddies but they didn't know a part number as they couldn't see any EMC stickers.

Turns out they were Hitachi Ultrastar HUA7201050KLA330 , but I was told that this is what EMC/Dell used.

So tried a couple in the SAN. They are recognised as drives and of the correct size, but when viewing them in "Components" of Navisphere  - their part number is UNKWON while the pre-installed drives show up as "005048606" i.e. the correct drives.

Is this Ok - will they stil work ?

Or do I need to update the OS ? In which case see my comments on the AX100/150 info thread. I cannot update at the moment.

 

They seem to create a Disk pool ok. Not tried creating a virtual disk yet as I need to add more drives - just need to move things around in the cabinet to access the lower trier of spaces first.
