Recover SCSI disks |
|
|
Hi,
I've got a Compaq U2 storage array connected to a Compaw Smart 2/p
controller with an assortment of 4.3GB and 9.1GB disks that I use for
testing purposes.
Some of the drives have "died" on me, i.e. I get yellow lights when they
are plugged into the arrays.
Is it possible to do anything low-level to ressurect these drives? e.g.
take them out of their caddies, connected them directly to a SCSI
controller and low-level format them or something?
(There's no data on them - I just want them to work again!)
Any suggestions appreciated.

That obviously depends on what the yellow lights mean, don't you think?

Or something.
