MegaRAID Storage Manager Online Help System |
Monitoring Drives
When MegaRAID Storage Manager is running, you can see the status of all drives in the left panel. If the drive is operating normally, the icon looks like this:
. If the drive has failed, a small red circle appears to the right of 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. There are no user-selectable properties for physical devices. Icons for other storage devices such as CD-ROM drives and DAT drives may also appear in the left panel.
The Power Status property shows On when a drive is spun up and Powersave when a drive is spun down. Note that SSD drives and other drives that never spin down still show On.
If the drives are in a disk enclosure, you can identify which drive is represented by a disk 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.
