Locating Disk Modules

To assist you in locating disk modules on the disk array, you can flash the amber Fault LED
on one or multiple disks. This is useful if you want to identify the disks that make up a LUN,
or a failed disk that must be replaced. It is advisable to positively identify a failed disk
before removing it from the disk array. Removing the wrong disk could cause the LUN to
become unavailable.

To locate a disk module:

1. On the main SAM screen, double-click the Disks and File Systems icon.

2. On the Disks and File Systems screen, double-click the Disk Devices icon. The Disk

Devices list is displayed. There is an entry for each disk array controller.

3. Select a controller for the appropriate disk array from the Disk Devices list.

4. Select the Actions menu, and the View More Information... menu option. The Main

Status screen is displayed.
