Hello AZSystems, First off when working with a Dell MD3xxx system you need to use dell drives with dell part# on the drives into the MD3xxx. Here is a link to the support matrix for the current version of firmware that you are running & if you look on page 25 at the top it states the following “Note: Only the physical disk drives with a Dell part number listed in Table 12 are supported.” [URL] What you can do to try & get the drive seen is to insert the drive into a dell server & try & flash the firmware on the drive and then once it is at the correct firmware version then you can insert it into the MD 3220 and see if the MD will see the drive. If the MD still will not see the drive without flagging it as uncertified with the correct firmware then the drive will have to be replaced by a dell drive from the list in the link. Please let us know if you have any other questions
Help!! Hi All,  I need some support or guidance on this PowerVault 3220 SAS issue. I have the following firmware on the PowerVault:  MD Storage Manager®                                           AMW Version:              11.20.0G06.0001                  Report Date:              Wed Feb 10 15:55:01 MST 2016                                                             Storage Array                                                 Storage Array Name:       APEX-DAS1                        Current Package Version:  08.20.12.60                      Current NVSRAM Version:   N26X0-820890-008                 Staged Package Version:   None                             Staged NVSRAM Version:    None                                                                                     RAID Controller Modules                                       Location:                 Enclosure 0, Slot 0              Current Package Version:  08.20.12.60                      Current NVSRAM Version:   N26X0-820890-008                 Board ID:                 2660                             Sub-Model ID:             136                                                                                         Location:                 Enclosure 0, Slot 1              Current Package Version:  08.20.12.60                      Current NVSRAM Version:   N26X0-820890-008                 Board ID:                 2660                             Sub-Model ID:             136                       There was failure on slot 3 as you can see below it does not contain current firmware.

Anyone got suggestions? I have seen a thread on here stating to update controller firmware, however it contains the latest. I don't have any free slots to create another array. So, I am kinda stuck on how to get this single drive updated. I do have another Dell system I could possibly update the firmware using Linux (VMWare Host) update...however that is just as difficult for down time. Is there a method around this to update single SAS drive firmware? I thought Dell updated firmware so that this non-Dell purchased Hard Drive would be resolved. However seems not to be the case. If any one has suggestions, or further questions. Please let me know.
