MSA1000 reports wrong disks sizes

Jose Campo — Tue, 17 Jan 2006 12:24:08 GMT

Hi.

I'm getting crazy myself with this problem. I have and MSA1000 disk array system which is reporting 146-GB disks as 4.0-GB disks. Any ideas? How can i fix this? ...

Thanks in advanced,

Jose,

Where are you seeing this disk size ?

Does it say the same from the MSA CLI (via serial cable) ?

Hi Jeff.

Thanks for reply.

We get the disk info. using a VMWARE console. The LINUX server is being used or will be used for VMWARE. But we have two more servers, same design and they have no problems detecting the disk sizes...i mean, using their VMWARE console to see the disks.
