Locating a physical disk

You can physically locate and identify one or more of the physical disks in an expansion enclosure by activating physical disk LEDs.

1. Select the Hardware tab.
2. Select the physical disks that you want to locate.
3. Select Hardware > Blink > Physical Disk.
   The LEDs on the selected physical disks blink.
4. When you have located the physical disks, click OK.
   The LEDs stop blinking. If any other blink operations (Blink Disk Group, Blink Storage Array, Blink Physical Disk Ports, or Blink Expansion Enclosure) are currently being invoked from another storage management station, these LEDs also stop blinking.
5. In the rare case that the LEDs on the physical disks do not stop blinking, in the AMW, select Hardware > Blink > Stop All Indications.
   If the LEDs successfully stop blinking, a confirmation message is displayed.
6. Click OK.
