I have inherited an out of warranty HP StorageWorks X1600 G2 SAN with non-genuine HDDs (3T Seagate).
A disk is showing as amber and the 'Array Configuration Utility' says the disk is 'bad or missing'.
I have replaced the bad Seagate with another Seagate disk, however, it still says 'bad or missing'.
I'm wondering if there is a prep that is required on disks before connecting them? i.e. firmware upgrades to the disk, etc. (I can't see any firmware upgrades on seagates site, it current has CC24)
