After digging around on forums trying to find a solution, I finally came across XS and quickly realized this is not the average forum.
So I have a Fujitsu SAS Raid 5/6 LSI controller as shipped with a Primergy TX-200 S5. I have installed some NetApp OEM'd as Seagate ST3600057SS. I have flashed these to Seagate firmware with no issues. My problem is with creating a RAID+1 config the controller disables the drives and marks them bad each time it attempts to initialize them. So i assume my problem is with them being an un-certified disk per Fujitsu LDDB (whatever its called).
So how can I determine the LSI chipset/model and/or change the un-certified attribute to allow?
Also I may need to validate that this is indeed the problem as I have not witnessed any error messages. I'm simply going off experience in uncharted territory.
