I have several SAS H/Ds that are reporting "device not configured" with fdisk and disklabel. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd1 The dmesg entry for one is ... sd1 at scsibus1 targ 1 lun 0: <NETAPP, X423_HCOBE900A10, NA01> SCSI4 0/direct fixed naa.5000cca0222458c0
I assumed that the problem lies with the boot sector contents, and managed to do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd1 however, the problem has not gone away. Would a SCSI format help? if so, is there an easy way to do it? Google suggested using scsictl, but it is not installed. Is it part of a pkg, or old info?
