SUN SCSI vs non-SUN?

That's basically what I was wanting to validate - I got 4 Sun badged Seagte ST19171WC drives, just like my HP badged Seagate ST19171WCs and they look alike, etc. I just received them and they are apparently worn out as I get a ton of viration withthem that makes my Netserver cablinet buzz, and I don't think they spin tot he full7200 rpm so they never want to got hrough format/init. They are seen in the controller's BIOS but things just aren't right so I'm guessing bad spin up rather than conflict of firmware. basically I've never worked with Suns so I wanted to make sure thet Sun din't have Seagate make them different to be of a proprietary nature. The place I got them from is going to ship 4 different ones on Monday. => -----Original Message----- => From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Dave McGuire => Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2002 12:43 PM => To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => Subject: Re: SUN SCSI vs non-SUN? => => => On February 2, Russ Blakeman wrote: => > 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. => => -Dave => => -- => Dave McGuire => St. Petersburg, FL "Less talk.
