Hello all,
I picked up a used EqualLogic PS6000 and the drives had been labeled as "degaussed" when I acquired it. All of the drives are showing as failed when the system initializes. I have tried running the reset command but it can't zero them out giving the error "ClassResetSystem - Enclosure/Drive 0/x drive did not respond after a drive reset operation, reset may not complete successfully!" for all drives. I have tried resetting it without any drives, but can't go through the setup command as it states "Cannot create mini RAID set".
What options can I take to get the system to recognize the drives again? Since they were degaussed, is it possible the EqualLogic firmware was wiped off them?
I do have a spare PS4000 with drives that can be pulled and used if that would help in some way. It is configured with a RAID policy currently, but can be wiped.
