Thanks for your help John. We have a weird setup so I think it was our 
Cisco switches on the blade center that were messed up. I'm all up and 
running now. Just curious though, have you ever noticed this error on 
your HS20s?

May 20 14:58:22 vm1 kernel: sdb : READ CAPACITY failed.
May 20 14:58:22 vm1 kernel: sdb : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, 
driver = 08
May 20 14:58:22 vm1 kernel: Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready
May 20 14:58:22 vm1 kernel: Additional sense indicates Medium not present
May 20 14:58:22 vm1 kernel: sdb : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, 
disk size 1GB.
May 20 14:58:22 vm1 kernel: sdb: Write Protect is on
May 20 14:58:22 vm1 kernel:  sdb: I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0
May 20 14:58:22 vm1 kernel:  I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0
May 20 14:58:22 vm1 kernel:  unable to read partition table
May 20 14:58:22 vm1 kernel:  I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0

It's like it's detecting some drive that doesn't exist...and this it 
spits that error out over and over. Any ideas?
