This is an knowledge base of various information about the IBM DS6800 that I hope will be useful if you ever need to repair one of these disk arrays.

I need help with a DS6800 1750-511
ReplyDeleteAnyone know about them?
Sure, what's the question? :-)
DeleteIf you got my email address, let me know. Basically, I have two CF cards that are corrupted and manually done an fsck on them and the filesystems were dirty. Now there are missing or corrupted files on them. Is there a way to reflash those without having the SEA install file? Or if I even had a dd image would be fine.
DeleteI got it, email sent :-)
DeleteThank You!

ReplyDeleteHi! very good page!!!
ReplyDeleteI need help with DS Storage Manager.
We lost the disk and now i cant manage the storage DS6800. You have one?
Thanks in advance!!!
Do you have a support contract? If so IBM should be able to get you the software. It wouldn't be legal for me to provide you with software, so sadly I cannot help you :(
