The disk drive in this bay is unidentifiable.

[zezo]

Hi,

I have this issue - after adding some new enclosures in the 8400, six of the disks are in "The disk drive in this bay is unidentifiable" status. They are on 3 different enclosures with healthy drives.

Any idea?!

I've seen this from time to time, too.
In that case

- I pull a disk

- wait until it is no longer visible in CV-EVA
-- or wait about 3 minutes
-- whatever is longer

- and then put the disk back and push a bit to make it is properly seated

- wait until it shows up properly in CV-EVA

- go to the next disk

thank you, but we tried it already without any result. I also changed the disks with athers, also new - same issue.

Do you know the disk model numbers? were they working at any point of time, like have you tried grouping them ? appreciate if you could share the EVA Controller event logs or the SSSU output of the EVA.

Thanks,
Rajiv
