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 DiskBlinkPhysical 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 ArrayBlinkStop All Indications.

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

6Click OK.
