Here's a question for you SUn people - if I have a
HP/Seagate ST19171WC SCA
hard drive in my server and found some drives that are Sun/Seagate ST19171WC
SCA drives, is there anything different int he Sun, ie they should work in
my HP server despite them being made for Sun by Seagate right? Just checking
and I'm guessing that they are exactly the same just labeled for the OEM by
Seagate and the firmware showing either HP or Sun when they show up in
various HD utilities.
Thanks in advance for the help, I'm just making sure I didn't do too much
acid in the 60's (no wait I was only 13 in 69...that doesn't work)
That whole "standard interfaces" thing makes this easy...just plug
it in and all should be well.
Some vendors (Auspex comes to mind) use custom firmware but I've
never seen it make the drive incompatible with something else that
speaks standard SCSI.
