Identifying the Disks

To identify the disks individually:

  1. Connect to the command line on the appliance.

  2. Log in to Expert mode.

  3. Send a signal to each disk to make the LED blink on the disk carrier (up to 12 disks):

    /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCLi/MegaCli -v -PdLocate -start -physdrv\[32:0\] -aALL
    /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCLi/MegaCli -v -PdLocate -start -physdrv\[32:1\] -aALL
    /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCLi/MegaCli -v -PdLocate -start -physdrv\[32:2\] -aALL
    ... ... ...
    /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCLi/MegaCli -v -PdLocate -start -physdrv\[32:11\] -aALL

    For the location of disks in the corresponding disk slots, see Storage Devices and RAID Levels.

  4. After you identified each disk, send a signal to each disk to stop the LED blinking (up to 12 disks):

    /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCLi/MegaCli -v -PdLocate -stop -physdrv\[32:0\] -aALL
    /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCLi/MegaCli -v -PdLocate -stop -physdrv\[32:1\] -aALL
    /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCLi/MegaCli -v -PdLocate -stop -physdrv\[32:2\] -aALL
    ... ... ...
    /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCLi/MegaCli -v -PdLocate -stop -physdrv\[32:11\] -aALL
