Cannot Initialize a Physical Disk
The physical disk cannot be initialized
Check whether or not the physical disk is:
• Already a member of a virtual disk.
• Currently a global or dedicated hot spare.
• Reporting an
Offline state.
Only physical disks that are Ready can be initialized.
Disk Carrier LED Indicators
The LED on the physical disk carrier indicates the state of each physical disk. Each
disk carrier in your enclosure has two LEDs: an activity LED (green) and a status LED
(bicolor, green/amber) as shown in Figure 5-1. The activity LED is active whenever a
disk is being accessed while the status LED indicates a disk is being spun up,
rebuilding, or in a faulty state.
Figure 5-1. Disk Carrier LED Indicators
NOTE: To enable the status LEDs, system needs to have the operating system and
the OpenManage 7.0 (or higher) management utility installed and running. Status
LED is not supported before the operating system is installed.
