Re: wrong size of IBM DFHS external 7204 SCSI disk
Complain as you may, but you don't have this problem when you obtain disks that HP certifies will work with HP-9000 servers.
I'd open a hardware call if you have a contracct but unless the firmware can be upgraded, you probably should not use the drive.
I'm assuming you have it on the right kind of scsi with termination or you would not have gotten so far.
One question: Can you actually use the 4 GB or do you get an error?

Re: wrong size of IBM DFHS external 7204 SCSI disk
The firmware is not HP.
Lot's of people try to buy disks from other sources -- seagate, ibm, etc. and they may even be the same vendor part number -- but these vendors have an agreement with HP not to provide the HP firmware which HPUX needs to validate the drive.
You can buy HP disk drives from lots of outlets, but they need to be an HP disk drive part number or it will be missing the HP firmware.
Hope that helps,
Ross

Re: wrong size of IBM DFHS external 7204 SCSI disk
From ioscan, it did show up as DFHSS4W :
bash-2.04# ioscan -fnkC disk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
======================================================================
disk 4 0/0/1/0.4.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE IBMRISC DFHSS4W
/dev/dsk/c0t4d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0
But I am sure it was not right. Maybe upgrade the firmwire is the way to go, it is an old disk (1995 from IBM)

Solutionit's really 4GB disk with sector size 512 bytes and 8813870 sectors. These are correct parameters for DFHSS4W. I do not know why you think this disk should be 14GB (I doubt disk of this capacity ever exist). Where did you see it?
