Decomission 7200 Disks

Post by nfawcett »

We have decommissioned our 3par 7200. It had 24 600GB drives in it. Is there a way to convert those disks to use in a home lab for some of our techs? The standard server doesn't see the drive at all.

How can we format the disk if the OS doesn't even see the drive?
