Thank you for your reply. All the things you say I have tried. I think the drives are good. I can put the same drives or drives in a single SCSI III slot on a Celastria CYA210 and the LSI controller sees it just fine. And reports the correct size. Gemotery and other things, ect. The drive seams ok.
The HP DL360 G3 with HP 5i Plus controller should work with the drive. Bought the Drives second hand. Drives are not marked HP. Drive has the IBM white lable for a IBM fru P/N 24P3717. I did not buy the drives because they were IBM. I bought the drives because I could see through the smoke screen and that they were Seagate. I have been dealing with Compaq/HP equipment for more than 20 years. I already know the HP answer . If it is not marked HP then it won't work. The fact that the 18.2Gb drive is working, marked Segate, negates the possibility of the statement from HP.
After having read the Seagate documentation, this model of drive can be either SE or LVD. I can't tell by looking. The Controller is suppose to assign drive ID and termination and LVD automatically. I have flashed the Bios on each of 4 different HP DL360 G3 servers. Each of the 4 do the exact same thing. The controller Bios does not see the ST373307LC drives. At computer start the drive is bumped, and spins up, and once the controller spins the drives is seas the partation on a 9,Gb or 18.2GB and or 36GB 80 pin LVD drive. I even took so 36GB brand X drives from a SUN 220R and formated them and installed win2k3 on the same DL360G3 servers.
I posted here so that the experta at Seagate could help me like they have for the past 20 plus years. if you guys say no, I will still rather have a broken Seagate drive than the best from anyone else. I think the drive is good. What am I doing wrong? It should work. if I put it in the SUN 220r and it works I guess it is the HP DL360G3.
