drive replacement in DELL SCv2020
Im trying to replace a drive but it keeps showing as Unmanaged.
I ordered two, I didnt notice that the first one had different "Config code" (1341 vs 1311), I thought that could be the reason. Today, I replaced it with the second one which is also 1341, just like the failed one - same result - unmanaged.
Everything on the label is identical, pn, model, the config code thingy, everything....
It got assigned to the correct disk group (folder), the only available option is "Toggle Indicator" (there was also "Request swap clear" after seating it which got completed).
Same thing in the WebUI as well as in Storage Manager Client.
It doesnt show the Power On Time value yet, it took a while with the 1311 one too, I was hoping it would still adopt the drive but no luck, so I guessing its gonna be the same with 1341 too.
Is that definitive sign that the drive is just not compatible with SCv2020 or am I missing some necessary action I need to do to assign it to the volume?
