Locating Disk Drives in a Volume
You can use the SAS2 BIOS Configuration Utility to locate and identify a specific
physical disk drive in a disk enclosure by flashing the drive’s LED. You can also flash the
LEDs of all the disk drives in a RAID volume, if they are in a disk enclosure.
When you add a disk drive to a new mirrored volume, the LED on the disk drive starts
flashing. The LED stops flashing when you finish creating the volume.
You can locate individual disk drives from the SAS Topology screen by flashing their
LEDs. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Select the desired SAS2 controller on the A
DAPTER LIST screen (see Figure 7-1) and
press E
NTER.
The A
DAPTER PROPERTIES screen appears (see Figure 7-2).
2. Highlight SAS TOPOLOGY and press ENTER.
The SAS TOPOLOGY screen appears (Figure 7-17).
3. Select the disk in the D
EVICE IDENTIFIER column and press ENTER.
The LED on the disk flashes until you press a key to stop it.
4. To identify all the disk drives in a volume, select the volume in the left column of the
SAS T
OPOLOGY screen and press ENTER.
The LEDs flash on all disk drives in the volume until you press a key to stop them.
