– Click Pending Operations to view the pending operations for the device.
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
