LSI WebBIOS keep showing "PD Missing: Enclosure 8: Slot 3"

Postby punthep » Tue Apr 10, 2018 9:47

I have problem with Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX300 S6 Dual socket 2 U rack server. One harddisk failed then we tried to change it with the same harddisk model but it does not work. We tried to rebuild the RAID but BIOS keep showing "PD missing: Enclosure 8:Slot 3"

We noticed that these two harddisks have different sub-part number (i.e. CA07173-B20700FS vs CA07173-B200). The firmware also different. Could anyone please kindly suggest what should I do? Can I still use this new harddisk to replace the faulty one? Any upgrade required? Or I have to buy a new harddisk with exactly same part no. with the faulty one?

It does look like it is the firmware level that is the problem - all released disks for RX300 S6 seem to have a firmware level of 52xx .. is it possible that the replacement disk has come from an ETERNUS for example? The ETERNUS units run completely different firmware on their disks (520 byte blocks instead of 512 byte for example)

Thank you very much Davie. I will try to find another harddisk with specific firmware to replace.
