-DS14MK2 Disk Shelf
That's not a storage. It is disk shelf for NetApp FAS (very old models) and was never intended to be used as direct JBOD. This only supports FC-AL protocol and I do not know whether it supports fabric attachment (it has no reason to support it).
Correction - there are two variants of DS14mk2: DS14mk2-FC and DS14mk2-AT. The former is native FC and the latter is SATA disks with SATA-to-FC dongle. The DS14mk2-FC was supported in Fabric MetroCuster where shelves are connected to switch, so it should actually work. DX14mk2-AT was never support in FMC.
Judging by disk models you have DS14mk2-AT.
that's right it's the AT variant. These "SATA-to-FC dongles" are hopefully causing the next major problem. The 4TB disks are only accessible as 1.64TiB HDDs Now it's important to know, which part causes this. I hope that it is in fact the NetApp disk array or electronic of the disk bays. If it is, I have to find some other hardware. Anyone got tips (FC 4G, redundant storage controllers and redundant power supplies, 14+ SATA-drives)? thank you (parted) p Model: ST4000NM 0035-1V4107 SX (scsi) Disk /dev/sdh: 1.64TiB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: P.S.: now it "works" also with the switch, maybe due to the change of mode of operation to loop only, switch shows now L-Port for the HBAs too:
