I can confirm the disks are fine. Getting around FMA is darn near impossible from the information I've collected.
I attached the disks to another server still running OmniOS, but disable FMA service before doing so. I then flashed 0004 firmware to these disks. Upon reboot the original server now sees the disks just fine. There has to be a way to "un-retire" disks so they can be flashed, but I have not found such a way. -Chip On Tue, Apr 22, 2014 at 11:36 AM, Schweiss, Chip <c...@innovates.com> wrote: > > On Tue, Apr 22, 2014 at 11:15 AM, Richard Elling < > richard.ell...@richardelling.com> wrote: > >> >> On Apr 21, 2014, at 9:19 AM, Schweiss, Chip <c...@innovates.com> wrote: >> >> I suspecting these drives have self-destructed. >> >> Can anyone confirm this firmware issue causes the drives to permanently >> go offline? >> >> >> They are fine.
