HP6000 SCSI SX-W

[Steve Phillips_1]

I need to find out the size of the drives in this 6000 unit. The model# for this 6000 is C3035T. It contains 4 drives, one of them with the model# C2247-6064. Any help is appreciated.

Here's some instructions I took from the thread below, "Sanjay's" response:

ioscan -fnkC disk

Then before each disk you can do a diskinfo,

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

or you can generate a stm report,

echo 'selclass type disk;info;wait;infolog' |cstm >/tmp/disk_info.txt

more /tmp/disk_info.txt

Steve the C2247 disks are 1 gig. Pretty old stuff.

Were all the drives identical to the one C2247 that you identified? I'm wrestling with a bunch of HP 6000 SX-W (and SE for that matter) boxes right now. You'll find lots of 1/2 height drives called C2490's at 2GB each in these SX-W boxes. Then a nice treat if you find some Seagate Barracuda ST15150WD's which are 4GB each.

The previous gent was correct about identifying that one as a 1GB drive. What's good about these boxes is that you can stuff them with the largest drives you can find cheaply and get a fair amount of capacity. Oh sure, 5x4GB to get 20GB when I could buy a single drive that is a 40 or 80 that saves alot of space and electricity. But some of the older HP drives seem to want to work forever (relatively :-) ).

hi there
i have 2 of these arrays as well and am trying to hook them up to my win 200 machine via an scsi card, but it locks win 2k on boot up
so i was thinking maybe if i unhooked all the hardwired scsi drive id's and let windows assign id's
would this work ?
Thanx
