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:
1. 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.
2. The LEDs for the disk or disks display a flashing pattern. Verify the location of the disk or disks.
