I have a Dell PE T110 II with an H200 adapter running MS Server 2012R2.
The H200 runs in IR mode and presently has one has one Seagate ST3600057SS (SAS 600GB) in HDD 0 configured for boot. No raid has been configured.
The H200 adapter is flashed to the most current levels available from Dell (Dell PERC H200 Adapter, v.07.03.06.00, A09). The documentation indicates this firmware supports drives larger than 2TB.
During boot, this is what CTRL-C says:
For Dell SAS Ctlr V7.11.10.00 (2011.06.02)
To expand storage capacity (as JBOD, no raid), I recently purchased a Seagate ST4000nm0025 4TB drive and placed it in HDD 1. When I boot the system, this drive isn't recognized by the H200, it's not listed during H200 initialization or by the CTRL-C config utility. Furthermore, if I place my finger on the drive during boot, it doesn't seem to be getting (or recognizing) a power up sequence, no clicks, vibration, head seeks whatsoever. I tried the drive in HDD 0 just to verify and got the same result.
The ST4000nm0025 is stock and isn't flashed with the update available on the Dell site because I can't even see the drive to do the flash.
Any suggestions on what's wrong here? Have I received a dead drive?
Thanks.
