Equal Logic PS6100E Valid firmwares for the drives themselves

Question

I have an older array that I purchased from a defunct company. A few of the drives have failed and I would like to replace a few of the failed drives.

I attempted with just the same model number and it reported that the drive was not supported now I am attempting to replace dell equallogic drives hower there now appears to be a F/W mismatch. Any thoughts on what drive fw's will match with the equallogic PS6100E.

Thanks

Yes I understand and I purchased some additional ones that I think are Dell EqualLogic branded drives and they are not spinning up. Notification is that they failed to spin up in 33 seconds, marking drive as failed.

Interesting, I have just inserted two 'new' drives in two different slots and they have both reported the same error. However thanks for the information. Terry

Great call on the Failover.  However it is now stating that the drives are not approved.  So now I am back to my question with regards to which Drive Firmware's are supported in a PS6100E and I suspect that it will have to do with the Software installed on the EqualLogic

V7.0.1 is the firmware that is running. Terry

I would tend to agree with you based upon all of the research that I have done however the sticker on the back very specifically states Dell EqualLogic
