A non Dell EqualLogic labeld drive will not work in your PS6000. Story ended.
They use a whitelist of own certificated drives and all others are not recognized by the array and marked as unknown. For older EQLs this was different.

I am sorry if I make you confuse.

I am doing this in believing it will solve the issues which the company urgency for the availability of the system.

For our legacy EQLs we bought spares from normal 3rd. party sources like ebay and so on. You only have to be sure to buy "Dell EqualLogic Enterprise" labeld disk with the same specs as yours. More than 200k arrays are sold since Dell bought EQL in 2007/2008 so there a spares available.
I havent read your post from the beginning so iam not sure if your Intention is to rescue the data on that array or just bring it back to life and start from scratch.
