DL360 G5 and Enabling Dual Port Hard Drives

[Lee Harding]

Good Morning,

Does anyone know if the HP DL360 G5 supports Dual Port Hard Drives? I cannot see x2 hard drives that are dual port but can see single port drives fine.

Cheers
Lee

Hi Karlo,

Its just our parts team has purchased x2 dual port and x2 single port, I can use the single port no problem with the dual port HDs dont even get any power to them, and cannot be seen within the BIOS

[KarloChacon]

have you tested dual port HDDs in different bays?

which controller?

[KarloChacon]

I forgot which are the spare o option part numbers?

bye

[Lee Harding]

Yes tried them in all other bays. I don't even get any power to them.

Hard Drive Spares part No - 418399-001

weird thing they don't even get power...

so not even LEDs like the single HDDs
it's difficult to me think 2 faulty HDDs

just in case have you tried updating Firmware just to check if Firmware CD recognize them?

bye
