147GB vs. 146GB HP Drives

I'm kind of scratching my head here.

One of our clients has a DL180 with 4 x 146GB SAS drives, they show up in ACU as 147GB drives. We ordered spares from HP, and they show as 146GB in ACU and therefore it will not rebuild! I'm a little confused.

I've never seen a 147GB sas drive. Checking some compatibility lists against the part numbers we do see that the different the disks are supposed to be compatible or interchangeable.

Has anyone had to deal with this?

Thanks, Tom

Solution 1:

I'm a HP geek, let me have the full server part number and the part numbers of both types of disks and I'll do some digging for you.
