Problem with a SSA drive
I've a problem with an IBM StorageWorks - Seagate SSA drive, model ST373453LC (IBM P/N 24P3733, Type S53D073, 72,8 GB 15K - USCSI 4 - 320 SSA). I bought this disk used but working; it came from an unknown IBM SSA storage array. I've removed the SCA - SSA adapter (IBM 18P3051 - 001 - R0) and i tried to install the drive with a "normal" SCA tray in my NetFinity 5500 M20. The RAID controller is an IBM ServeRAID 4M. The problem is that the disk is "seen" by the controller, but I can't access it in any way. If I connect it to an Adaptec 29160, at the CTRL + A prompt, after the spinup, the controller says "SCSI ID0: device connected but not ready" (and the disk can't be accessed, of course).
Some ideas regarding this problem...?
Thanks in advance!!!
I apologize for my poor English...

RS6000 SSA Raid question

Hi Can I add disks on the fly to extend the capacity of an existing RAID 5 volume? It's created on a 4P Advanced SSA Raid Adapter. I need to extend a volume group, so I figured it would be easiest to extend the "physical disk" which is a RAID5 volume. Thanks. (1 Reply)

eject

EJECT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  EJECT(1)

NAME

     eject -- eject a floppy disk, cdrom or tape

SYNOPSIS

     eject [-fv] [-l | -L | -U] [-t device-type] [-d] device

     eject -n

DESCRIPTION

     The eject program ejects a medium from the specified device.  It can also load a cdrom in the drive if this operation is supported by the
     hardware.	The device argument specifies a device either by its full path name (identified by a /dev/ prefix), or by one of the built-in
     nicknames.  If the medium contains a file system that is currently mounted, eject will attempt to unmount the file system before ejecting.

     The following options are available:

     -d   Deprecated.

     -f   Force the eject operation without attempting to unmount any file systems first.

     -l   Load media in the drive (only supported for the cdrom device type).

     -L   Lock the media into the drive (but see BUGS below).

     -n   List the built-in nicknames on standard output.

     -t device-type
	  Specify the device type.  The argument must be one of diskette, floppy, cdrom, disk, or tape.  This option is necessary when ejecting a
	  device for which no built-in knowledge is available.

     -U   Unlock the media from the drive.

     -v   Display some of the actions taken on standard output.

BUGS

     Most disk drivers automatically lock the media on the first open and unlock it on the last close, making 'eject -L' almost useless, since
     when it closes the device, it gets unlocked again.
