Hi Gang,
I am helping someone with some older Xserve hardware and they are having
some issues getting the disks to initialize. It's a G4 vintage system with a
megaraid installed.
-- Issue --
Using the diskutil list terminal command I see a 467 gig drive as dev0 -
however, it's still not writeable. I can't format the drive, it tells me
Partitioning encountered error on disk disk0: Permission denied (13)
when I attempt this command
diskutil eraseDisk "Journaled HFS+" Macintosh HD /dev/disk0
So, right now it sees the disk, but it's locked apparently - is there some
terminal command to unlock a volume that you are aware of?
-- End Issue --
Any ideas?
Thanks folks!

Just out of curiosity, the hardware lock (the bolt with the security key) is not all the way on and locked is it?
