I am trying to install a Maxtor 355Mb disk on our RS/6000-520, but with very little success. It seems that although the drive has the same model # as the drive IBM delivered with the system they are not the same. The system recognizes the drive, the drive passes the diagnostics, but I can't format it from SMIT and hence can't add it to a volume group. Has anyone out there installed a 3rd party drive that might be able to tell me what is going on and give me a few pointers? Quite frankly I'd even be willing to pay for some advice at this point. (seems that just asking for advice gets very few, re. no, responses) Thanks, Mike Green Systems Manager, University of North Texas, Department of Computer Science green@ponder.csci.unt.edu
