650F
I have a 650F that I am trying to bring back to life after a stent in the basement storage room. I bought a 36 gig flare drive off eBay with flare code 05.11.17. I have tried the origianal 73 Gig drives with what I thought had the flare code on, but still no luck.
When it boots, I get:
Copyright (c) CLARiiON Storage Systems, Inc. 1991 - 1998
Disk Array Subsystem Controller
Model FC5600C
Firmware Revision 01.03 - Nov 6,1998
ABCDEabFabcdefgGabHabcIJKLabMabNOPabcQabc
Initializing back end FIBRE...
Flare load error!
Error Code is 0x0000007F
until it fails and I then I get
ABORTING!
.... Storage System Failure - Contact your Service Representative ...
Information Code 0x000000EF
Not sure what to do, but I suspect, it does not recognize the 36 or 73 gig drives.

Try just the 1 drive you believe to have flare on it and see if the system will boot with that. If so, add 1 drive hot and give the system a few minutes (it should automatically mirror the flare to that drive). Then to be sure reboot the array and verify it will boot. If so, add the 3rd drive and do the same steps.
