Monitoring Drives and Other Physical Devices
When MegaRAID Storage Manager software is running, you can see the status of all drives and other physical devices in the left panel. If a drive is operating normally, the icon looks like this:
. If a drive has failed, a small red circle appears next to the icon.
To display complete drive information, click on a drive icon in the left panel and click the Properties tab in the right panel. The information on this tab is self-explanatory.
If drives are in a drive enclosure, you can identify which drive corresponds to a drive icon on the left. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click the drive icon in the left panel.
- Click the Operations tab in the right panel.
- Select Locate Physical Drive and click Go.
The LED on the drive in the enclosure starts blinking to show its location
LEDs on drives that are global hotspares do not blink.
- To stop the drive light from blinking, select Stop Locating Physical Drive and click Go.
