Locating a Physical Disk

You can use the Locate Physical Disk option to physically locate and identify one or more of the physical disks in an expansion enclosure by activating physical disk LEDs.

To locate the physical disk:

1Select the Physical tab.

2Select the physical disks that you want to locate.

3Select Physical Disk→ Blink→ Physical Disk. The LEDs on the selected physical disks blink.

4When you have located the physical disks, click OK.

The LEDs stop blinking. If any other blink operations (Blink Disk Group, Blink Storage Array, Blink Physical Disk Ports, or Blink Expansion Enclosure) are currently being invoked from another storage management station, these LEDs also stop blinking.

5In the rare case that the LEDs on the physical disks do not stop blinking, in the AMW, select Storage Array→ Blink→ Stop All Indications.

If the LEDs successfully stop blinking, a confirmation message appears.

6Click OK.

Locating an Expansion Enclosure

You can use the Blink option to physically locate and identify an expansion enclosure in the storage array.

The LED activation varies according to the type of expansion enclosure that you have.

•If you have an expansion enclosure with a white LED, the Blink Expansion Enclosure operation causes the white LED on the expansion enclosure to come on. The LED does not blink.

•If you have any other types of expansion enclosures, this operation causes the appropriate LED on all of the physical disks in the expansion enclosure to blink.
