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