Can a drive from an EMC be used an a SunBlade 2000

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

Can a ST3146807FCV taken from an EMC (having EMC firmware)
be used in a SunBlade 2000 ?

If the firmware would need to be reprogrammed, anyone have a
firmware "flasher" for Solaris, PC, Linux, etc  (and an appropriate
(Sun?) firmware load) ?

Thanks,

-- Curt

Usually all you have to do is change the sector size of the disk from 520 (emc
proprietary) to 512 (normal) & reformat.

sformat (schilly tools) or scu (scsi
command utility) normally work just fine.....

I also read somewhere long ago
that format -e & then rewrite the label as SMI works too - but I've never
tried that.

I've also done it with a pc and it works there also.

I know where to find the Schilly tools... but where does "scu" live?  I don't think I've encountered that utility before.
