I'm not familar with that model number, but it sounds like what you have is
an HP High Availability SCSI Disk Array, which was made by Clariion, I'm
fairly certian from the firmware code that you have the Sauna Storage
processors, there are diffrent versions of the OS (LIC - Licenced Internal
Code). As far as i know you have to use a functioning machine to coppy the
code onto a disk making it bootable for the system.

One thing to try is to put every drive into one of the booting positions, it
only looks at 4 of the disks, i've had people dell me diffrent things about
where it looks to boot, but it you watch them boot you can see which disks
are spun up and scaned, the disks may not be in the right order. I have been
told by a EMC2 service teck (they now own clariion) that you can not remove
the code from the disks, and any disk that was in a booting position gets
the code put on it.

I have heard that it is important to have the LIC revision match the
firmware revision for the Firmware 8.02, the LIC version is 8.27, it is
posable to update the system if you have the firmware in a file, but inorder
to do so you need to have the array booted properly, and you need the
aproprate software to load the firmware and LIC onto the drive so the array
can update it's self. Ive been trying to get the software to update mine,
either the, i have the firmware immage for the more advanced Storage
processors.

Dear Pattrick,



Dear George,



A friend of mine and I managed to get hold of two Clariion Disk arrays
(HP C2200-D), both stacked with 20 9Gb disks :-) :-)

We're both IT professionals and are planning to use the system for
private domestic use (Straming video server, local storage), basically
playin' around.



When I boot the machine, it gives me a system failure 0001007e or
0001007f (disks removed).

I've learned from the Net that I'm missing a dish with an OS.

Do you know where I can get a disk image or better, can you get me one?

Again, we are using these cabinets for fun and strictly domestic
personal use.

Also, is there (have you ;) )any management software or firmware for
this machine?



Here's what the console tells me:

Copyright C  CLARiiON Storage Systems, Inc. 1992-1996

Disk Array Sybsystem Controller

Model 7300.1.6

Firmware Revision 08.02 - 06/19/96

.. Storage System Faulure - Contact your Service Representative .



Information Code 0001007e



Hope to hear from you.

Kind Regards,
