IBM sas drive in HP proliant ML330

[samsam]

Hello

I have an HP proliant ML330 with an HP smart array P410 SAS card.
when I put lot of various 'second hand) drive the P410 controlle reconize the drive and let me to manage them.

when I put IBM sas drive (seagate):
MODEL ST9146852SS
IBM FRU 45W3869
DOM : 10DEC2010
part number 9FU066-039

that's doesn't work, conroller do not see this drive
Do you think it's possible that the ibm firwmware have crypted function , or hp controller card have corporate code for use only hp disk with hp sas controller ?

possible the Seagate drive is "hardcoded" for a different architecture such as Dell or Acer. Not sure on how picky the actual card is though.

If ibm have hardcoded the seagate firmware, do you think it's possible to put the originale seagate firmware inside ?

IBM drive can't be plug in sas from other manufacturer ?

I don't know. I have heard so many different experiences with trying to use disks the vendors don't like... that I just don't bother anymore. It is too expensive time-wise and for very limited benefit. Seems each case is a try-it-and-see deal, which is a big No-No for servers!

This will be at least very far from being easy.
You aren't the first to think about such trick: http://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=29669#p205871
