Viewing the product ID and model of a hard disk drive

Use the information in this section to view the product ID and model of a hard
disk drive by using the storage server profile before you start the migration
procedure or to add hard disk drives. You can determine the product ID and
model of a hard disk drive from the storage server profile through the menu
option in the Subsystem Management window. To get the profile, in the Subsystem
Management window, click Storage Subsystem ->View Profile When the Storage
Subsystem Profile window is shown, click the Drives tab and scroll down to view
the product ID and model of a hard disk drive.
See Table 5 on page 10 for a sample profile that indicates the product ID of the
drive in bay 12 of enclosure ID 1 as ST3146756FC F. The Speed and Current Data
Rate fields show that this drive is a 15 krpm drive and is operating at 4-Gbps
Fibre Channel date rate. In addition, the drive is security capable and in a secure
state that allows input and output processing to the drive from the controller.
interface speeds. Ensure that these storage subsystem and expansion enclosure
speed switches are set to the correct values to support the drive interface speeds.
Intermixing storage subsystems and expansion enclosures that support different
drive interface speeds is not supported. The drive loop/channel must be set to
support the lowest drive interface speed.
