NOTE:
• At any time, if you do not see the option to create a job on the storage configuration pages, go to Storage Overview →
Pending Operations page to view the existing pending operations and to create the job on the required controller.
• Only cases 1 and 2 are applicable for PCIe SSD. You cannot view the pending operations for PCIe SSDs and hence Add to
Pending Operations option is not available. Use racadm command to clear the pending operations for PCIe SSDs.
Blinking or unblinking component LEDs
You can locate a physical disk, virtual disk drive and PCIe SSDs within an enclosure by blinking one of the Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs) on the disk.
You must have Login privilege to blink or unblink an LED.
The controller must be real-time configuration capable. The real-time support of this feature is available only in PERC 9.1 firmware
and later.
NOTE: Blink or unblink is not supported for servers without backplane.

To blink or unblink a component LED:
1. In the iDRAC Web interface, go to any of the following pages as per your requirement:
• Overview → Storage → Identify - Displays the Identify Component LEDs page where you can blink or unblink the
physical disks, virtual disks, and PCIe SSDs.
• Overview → Storage → Physical Disks → Identify– Displays the Identify Physical Disks page where you can blink or
unblink the physical disks and PCIe SSDs.
• Overview → Storage → Virtual Disks → Identify- Displays the Identify Virtual Disks page where you can blink or unblink
the virtual disks.
2. If you are on the Identify Component LED page:
• Select or deselect all component LEDs — Select the Select/Deselect All option and click Blink to start blinking the
component LEDs. Similarly, click Unblink to stop blinking the component LEDs.

3. If you are on the Identify Physical Disks page:
• Select or deselect all physical disk drives or PCIe SSDs — Select the Select/Deselect All option and click Blink to start
blinking all the physical disk drives and the PCIe SSDs. Similarly, click Unblink to stop blinking the LEDs.
• Select or deselect individual physical disk drives or PCIe SSDs — Select one or more physical disk drives and click Blink to
start blinking the LEDs for the physical disk drives or the PCIe SSDs. Similarly, click Unblink to stop blinking the LEDs.
4. If you are on the Identify Virtual Disk page:
• Select or deselect all virtual disks — Select the Select/Deselect All option and click Blink to start blinking the LEDs for all
the virtual disks. Similarly, click Unblink to stop blinking the LEDs.
• Select or deselect individual virtual disks — Select one or more virtual disks and click Blink to start blinking the LEDs for the
