Thanks to all who replied.
Here're some of suggestions:
David Schiffrin <daves@adnc.com>:
I've used non-sun drives in SSA's and Sun machines.
Try falcon for drive brackets. www.falcons.com They just got bought
by artecon, but I suspect they've still got the brackets for sale.
Eugene Kramer <eugene@uniteq.com>:
Rave (www.rave.com) sells them for about $70 apiece.
Rich Kulawiec <rsk@itw.com>:
I'd say that going through Usenet's misc.forsale.computers.workstation
is probably a good way to find them. All sorts of Sun-related
equipment is for sale there every day.
All you helped me to convince my local Sun provider to sell me
these frames.
Thank you again.
Here's the original question:
> We have a number of sparc storage arrays with 6x4G disks.
> We would like to add more disks to SSA-114. We have available
> six non-SUN single-connected disks (Seagate ST34572WC), but
> we need ONLY SUN`s plastic frames to insert them into SSA. Our local
> SUN reseller refused to sell that plastic frames and offers us to buy
> six SAME DISKS (they differ by firmware only) supplied with such

> So, the question is:

Here's the original question:
We have a number of sparc storage arrays with 6x4G disks.
We would like to add more disks to SSA-114. We have available
six non-SUN single-connected disks (Seagate ST34572WC), but
we need ONLY SUN`s plastic frames to insert them into SSA. Our local
SUN reseller refused to sell that plastic frames and offers us to buy
six SAME DISKS (they differ by firmware only) supplied with such frames.So, the question is:
1. Does anybody knows where can we buy such frames ?
2. Does anybody has experience in working with non-SUN
disks under SSAs ?Any help will be highly appreciated and summarized.
Thank you.
