Hi
I have bought a (cheap) IBM Storwize V3700 SFF SAN controller, in the hope that I could just put in a bunch of HGST HUC109060CSS600 drives I already had l on hand. The firmware on the HGST drives are A380 and C430.
I also have some HP branded 300GB 10K SAS - EG0300FCSPH, EG0300FCVBF, EG0300FBVFL....
I have searched this forum and other places for a "How-to-Guide", on how to change/convert the firmware on these drives to IBM branded firmware, so I can use them in the Storwize SAN.
As of now I have testet the drives in the SAN, they all pop up in the management software as Online, Unused - but when I try to add a pool it will fail....
I have also tried to use svctask to update the firmware to the newest IBM using this file storagedisk6099_drive_HDD_20221028. But this also fails, telling me that it is not branded drives....
I have downloaded HUGO but not tried it yet.....
Is HUGO the way to go, to make them IBM drives ????
And what would be a good platform to do it on (Linux, Windows, HBA type etc....) ???
