DL380 G1 & Fiber Channel Enclosure Issues

[D Lemay]

I have a DL380 G1 server and I am trying to get a fiber channel drive shelf to work. The card I am using is an Emulex card. It has a PN of DS-KGPSA-CY and a spares #176804-002. The shelf that I am using is a Compaq StorageWorks DS-MG521-AA. The shelf is connected from one of the interfaces to the HBA. The card does not see any drives attached. The other strange thing we are experiencing is if I put 3 drives in, one drive always looks like it has failed. If I remove one of the drives, the problem still exists (With 2 drives, one drive looks like it fails, even though this drive in the 3 drive setup was running) - any help on this? The purpose of this setup is to be able to wipe a large amount of Fiber Channel drives at once.
