Locating an Expansion Enclosure

You can use the Blink option to physically locate and identify an expansion

enclosure in the storage array.
The LED activation varies according to the type of expansion enclosure that

you have.

• If you have an expansion enclosure with a white LED, the Blink Expansion

Enclosure operation causes the white LED on the expansion enclosure to

come on. The LED does not blink.

• If you have any other types of expansion enclosures, this operation causes

the appropriate LED on all of the physical disks in the expansion enclosure

to blink.

To locate the expansion enclosure:

1 Select the Physical tab.
2 Select a physical disk in the expansion enclosure that you want to locate.
3 Select Physical Disk Blink Expansion Enclosure.

The LED or LEDs on the expansion enclosure or physical disks come on.

4 When you have located the expansion enclosure, click OK.

The LEDs stop blinking. (If you have an expansion enclosure with a blue

LED, the LED goes off). If any other blink operations (Blink Storage Array,

Blink Disk Group, Blink Physical Disk Ports, Blink Expansion Enclosure, or

Blink Physical Disk) are currently being invoked from another storage

management station, these LEDs also stop blinking.

5 In the rare case that the LEDs on the expansion enclosure do not stop

blinking, from the AMW, select

Storage Array Blink Stop All

Indications.
If the LEDs successfully stop blinking, a confirmation message is

displayed.

6 Click OK.
