NEW FC 300GB disks ok with XCS6.000?

[Louis Henninger_1]

We are using EVA8000 running XCS code of 6.000.
We purchased new disks to install. The new disks is showing as model # BD300DAJZF with FW of HP00.

Is this disk ok to use with our current configuration?

Thanks,

Louis

Hi Louis,

See this link for more info (search on BD300DAJZF) and the EVA8000 appears to support it:

Firmware Bundle Release notes contain this disk model number:

My previous paste left this off...

I can't see it in the documentation - here is a cut and paste from the documents which contain the string "BD300DAJZF":

Most likely this is because XCS V6.000 has been set 'inactive' quite some time ago due to dangerous bugs in the space management code and no more tests have been run against that release.

We are going to upgrade to XCS 6.110 soon, after holidays...
