3rd party drives

[Tom Leach]

I know this should be in the FAQ, but I couldn't find it and nobody has 
posted any relevant info lately, so pardon if I'm requesting redundant info.

Does anyone have any experience with 3rd party disk drives on 320's running
AIX 3003 or 3005?  I have some drives that used to be on Suns (Fuji 2263sa's)
and now the people want to move them to their RSes.

Will there be a problem with chaining the SCSI cables from an existing
IBM external tape to one of the Fujis?  Is there any low level formatting
program (ala Suns format).  I don't just want to lay a new partition table
onto the disk and newfs.  I'ld rather do a low level to check for bad blocks,
etc.

Thanks for any help.
