New internal disks on L2000 not showing up.

[Ed Segura]

I just installed 2 new internal 36tgb disks in which one shows it with 0 kbytes and the other seems to be 18gb. Previously I was having trouble seeing 2 of the older disks. So could there be a problem with the board or what else do I need to do, to make sure my disk are ok. Thx

I'd say this is a good time to call HP Hardware support. It sounds as if you could have some kind of strange hardware problem.

HP Support would definitely be your best bet.

Are these new disks HP disks with HP firmware? Usually when diskinfo shows disk of 0 size means disk is bad. Backplane is just a backplane - connectors only. Try exchanging disks within slots and see if problem will go with disk or not. Agree with Patrick - if disks are HP disks then call HP. If disks are not HP disks, then buy HP disks

You could confirm a couple things:

# ioscan -fnC disk

See what is reported as the model.

# diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c#t#d#

Shows size in kbytes (what you probably already ran)

# dmesg

To see if you are seeing any SCSI errors of any sort.
