Hello,

Mixing NSE drivers with any other type of encryption or non-encryption drives across a stand-alone or HA pair is not supported. 

The 316A are regular drive vs the 317A are Encrypted drives.

You can always verify and confirm by checking supported and compatibility via our hardware universe Site:

Thanks

I've installed 6TB 317 SED disk to shelf but not shown in "disk show -n".

Only shown in "system node run -node MCBACKUP-01 -command "sysconfig -a"" with failed state.

Hello,

As i mentioned in my previous reply, mixing  encrypting or non-encrypting drives or shelves across a stand-alone platform or high-availability (HA) pair is not supported. Which explain why they are showing in a failed state.

Thanks
