Toggling the Locator LED for a Hard Drive

Before You Begin

You must log in with user or admin privileges to perform this task.

Procedure

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	Server # scope chassis	Enters chassis command mode.
Step 2	Server/chassis # scope hdd	Enters hard disk drive (HDD) command mode.

Step 3	Server /chassis/hdd # set locateHDD
	drivenum {1 2}

Where drivenum is the number of the hard drive whose locator LED you want to set. A value of 1 turns the LED on while a value of 2 turns the LED off.

This example turns on the locator LED on HDD 2:

Server# scope chassis
Server /chassis # scope hdd
Server /chassis/hdd # locateHDD 2 1
HDD Locate LED Status changed to 1
Server /chassis/hdd # show		LocateLEDStatus
Name	Status
--------------------	--------------------	--------------------
HDD1_STATUS	present	TurnOFF
HDD2_STATUS	present	TurnON
HDD3_STATUS	absent	TurnOFF
HDD4_STATUS	absent	TurnOFF

Server /chassis/hdd #

Managing the Server Boot Order

Server Boot Order

Using CIMC, you can configure the order in which the server attempts to boot from available boot device types.

When you change the boot order configuration, CIMC sends the configured boot order to the BIOS the next time the server is rebooted. To implement the new boot order, reboot the server after making the configuration change. The new boot order will take effect on any subsequent reboot. The configured boot order is not sent again until the configuration is changed again.
