Seagate Constellation.2 SAS disk and Dell T710 server
by fusion1275 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#599R1)
So I have a Poweredge T710 with 16 drive bays and 32GB ram. This is running ESXi 6.7. I bought this from eBay not long ago for me to learn in a home lab environment.
It has 12 drives filled up with 600GB HP SAS disks that just worked out the box (well the box from eBay LOL) but I have been given 4x 1TB Seagate Constellation.2 disks and when I put them in the spare disk bays all I get is the power light and no flashing or activity.
When I reboot the server and do a CTRL+E to get into the raid configurations the new disks aren't even showing up?
I'm totally new to all this. Can you help me get my disks recognised please? I have also posted on Dell support site but getting no replies there. So thought I would try the old trusty LQ for help.
This is the info I have on the disks:
