- We've just gotten hold of an HP-9000 (model 870 ??), and we're trying to
- connect a Seagate Wren 9 1.9 GB disk. I certainly can't configure it through
- 'sam', there is no entry for it in /etc/disktab, and there are no disks in
- /etc/disktab that have specs close enough to allow an acceptable alias.
-
- So, has anyone out there attached one of these, or any other non-HP disk ?
- And how the hell do you do it. I'm in the process of placing an entry in
- /etc/disktab for the Wren, but I'm not sure what number the disk is recognised
- as. I presume it's something like ST42100N or some similar model number-like
- string. Where is this string recognised from? Does it come from the id-string
- sent back from the disk ?? I was speaking to HP and they were implying that
- if I couldn't get an accurate alias for the drive, then it WOULDN'T WORK.
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Stuart
