Hi all,
Recently got some 4TB Oracle-Branded HGST drives with the hopes of using them in my storage array, but it appears they must have some kind of custom firmware that prevents them from being used outside of Oracle systems. The drives show up fine on my proxmox host, but the drives seem unable to spin up or be accessed in any way other than getting basic information off of them.
Hardware is a Dell R620 running PVE 7.4, with an LSI 9200-8E card connected to a KTN-STL3 with the
303-115-003D interposers (this setup has been working flawlessly with other HGST SAS drives for months).
Output of
Smartctl can get some info, but reports all the drives as NOT READY:
And it appears that my controller (a 9200-8e flashed with P20 IT firmware) can't spin them up for whatever reason:
Anyone have any experience in this realm? I know you can typically reflash drive firmware, but I was unable to find any information for this particular model online and I'm worried that I now have 5 bricks sitting in my rack.

Output of
lsscsi -sig
shows the drives, but without size information:
