Re: QLA2300, Infortrand and LBD?

I have sent the those 2 questions to the Infortrend. When I get the answer, 
I will get back to you.

Thank you very much.

The drive itself replied with that capacity, which is incorrect.  It's
supposed to reply with the largest possible capacity (0xffffffff) and we
use that as a signal to retry with READ_CAPACITY_16.

Could you contact the support line of the array and make sure of two
things:

1) It does actually support single LUNs with a capacity of >2TB (lots of
arrays don't)
2) And if 1) is true, why is it not responding correctly to the READ
CAPACITY(10)? The spec (spc-2 Rev 8, 5.2.11) says "If the number of
logical blocks exceeds the maximum value[...]the device server shall
transfer FFFFFFFFh in the RETURNED LOGICAL BLOCK ADDRESS field"
