Can you elaborate? Just today, we got the replacement drive that has
precisely the right version of firmware and everything. Still, when
we
plugged in that drive, and "create simple volume" in the storagetek
raid
utility, the new drive is 0.001 Gb smaller than the old drive. I'm
still
hosed.
Are you saying I might benefit by sticking the SSD into some laptop,
and
zero'ing the disk? And then attach to the sun server?
Are you saying I might benefit by finding some other way to make the
drive
available, instead of using the storagetek raid utility?
I know it is way after the fact, but I find it best to coerce each
drive down to the whole GB boundary using format (create Solaris
partition just up to the boundary). Then if you ever get a drive a
little smaller it still should fit.
