Hi. I'm trying to add a MAXTOR 700 MB SCSI disk drive to a RS6000 (320). It boots up and recognizes the external disk as "Other SCSI disk", which seems ok to me. When I list the disk devices, it shows the new disk as hdisk1. BUT, when I try to give the new disk, hdisk1, a physical volume identifier number (in SMIT, under "Change Characteristics of a Disk"), it spits out the following: Method error (/etc/methods/chgdisk) 0514-047 Cannot access a device If anyone has ANY ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them....Is this disk totally unusable with this system???
