Flashing disk LEDs
Storage Utility’s Identify feature allows you to flash the disk LEDs so that you can physically locate a specific disk module or group of disk modules that make up a RANK. Always use the disk identify feature before removing and replacing a failed disk module. Accidentally removing the wrong disk module can destroy data.
- Open Storage Utility and in the tree view expand all nodes so that all disks are displayed.
- Open the bezel on the RAID storage chassis or otherwise make sure you can see disk LEDs.
- Identify the disks in a RANK or identify a single disk,
as follows:
- In the Storage Utility tree view, right-click a RANK or right-click a single disk, then select Identify RANK or Identify Disk in the context menu. A message box opens with a message that informs you that a disk or disks are blinking.
- The LEDs for the disk or disks display a flashing pattern. Verify the location of the disk or disks.
