HP Insight Management Agents - Manual (Page 53)

Only drives in hot plug trays are supported since the LEDs are part of the tray. Spare drives
that are included in the logical drive are also identified. Only one logical drive on a selected
controller may be identified at a time. If a different drive is selected while another drive is
currently identified, the other drive stops identification and the selected drive is identified.
IMPORTANT: The Start or Stop button will only be displayed if you are logged on as an
administrator or an operator, SNMP Sets are enabled, and a SNMP Community string has been
defined with 'write' access. Go back to the Summary page and select login to login as an
administrator or operator. SNMP Sets can be enabled in the HP Insight Management Agents
control panel applet on the SNMP Settings page. A SNMP Community string with 'write' access
can be defined in the SNMP Service Properties Security page located in Computer Management
under Services. The drive icon will not blink in Microsoft Internet Explorer unless Play animations
in web pages is enabled in the Tools menu Internet Options under the Advanced tab in the
Multimedia section.
