Using
Identify to work with your systems: When you click Identify for an object in
the Physical devices view or Logical devices view, the ServeRAID Manager makes
the hardware light associated with the selected object flash.
Depending on what you clicked, you can identify the following:
v A drive
v All drives
v A channel of drives
v A logical drive
v All logical drives
v An array
v A spanned array
v All arrays
v An enclosure
You can make only one selection at a time. The hardware will continue flashing
until you click OK in the message window.
Identify works only on controllers with a SAF-TE processor and the appropriate
firmware. The processor uses a SCSI ID; therefore, it is displayed in the Physical
devices view as the following:
Enclosure management device
If a device light or a series of device lights do not flash, it is because all or part of
the subsystem is not controlled by a SAF-TE processor.
For example, if SCSI channel 1 has a SAF-TE processor, but SCSI channel 3 does
not, and you select to Identify all physical drives, only SCSI channel 1 will flash.
Identify is particularly useful for enclosures. You can use Identify to clarify which
drives in the enclosure you need to work with, before you pull them out of the
enclosure.
If a SAF-TE processor is present and the controller supports device identification,
you can identify the components by doing the following:
Right-click: To Identify...
Enclosure management device The enclosure itself
Enclosure All physical drives in the enclosure
Array [number]
All physical drives in the selected array or
spanned array
